Good luck with both projects guys, looking forward to seeing them this season.

I would have picked a different body for a full tube chassis car, but that is just me.

If I could do this, and I mean either car, I sure has hell would. As for the Evo, it's no shit. I've never seen something so extensive in my life.

The funny thing is, there were people on here giving Tim shit about their cars having a lot more fabrication involved than his... My car has more fabrication than theirs let alone Tims RWD drag car yet neither one of us have a performance shop or any special tools given to help us! Go figure.

But I guess some people on here have more fabrication than it takes to make a Pro RWD drag car like Brent Rau or even an Evo like Tim.

Great, I have to clean this crap up once again. Here's an idea... Just one idea. make another thread on it so this one doesn't get into another "my opinion, your opinion" shit storm when all it shoudl be for is updates and comments about Jake's project.

[Thor06]

Wow..... Tim, you are a god amongst DSMers.

[rst95eclipse]

Tim, you should post pics of your brake setup. I believe my exact words were "Don't you have to upgrade your brakes when you upgrade your brakes?"

[EvilEvo]

Sorry I will start my own thread for my project so this one stays Jakes

I dont understand the brake question but Ill post some pics of the brakes if ya want. The rears are big but the fronts.... lol... they cant do much. They say right on the box "Designed to be used with the assistance of a parachute ONLY. Failure to follow this may result in death".

[AJ]

Tim, can you also attach a few pics when you create a thread? The IMG links are blocked by my work and I'd liek to see some of this. Onc eyou got one going I'll clean this one up and then hopefully you guys will get Jake to update us some more.

[EvilEvo]

I made a new thread so thats taken care of. I guess I didnt know what you meant by attaching the pics... I dont know if you have an upload area or what but I did include some pics that Jake took an put on Photobucket so you should be able to see those ones I think.

Jake hasnt done too much more with his car recently. I think he is planning on getting the front end finished up maybe this weekend but Im not sure.

[EclipseGST]

Yep... I took a break for awhile. I'm in no rush. I had to take care of some other things around the shop, was running out of room so I made a loft for some storage and had to get my ass in gear and build a clean engine room as well so I can get going on a few engine builds that I have to get done.

I should have the front end tubed by the end of the month, March will be engine build/install and tune, April will be safety month, haha. Should be done by the dyno day. We'll see!

Allen... No need to clean up, just leave it.

Any more progress with it, Jake?

[rst95eclipse]

He hasn't been on here for awhile. I think he's building another loft.

[twack]

Defintaly in the loft building business right now, hmmmmm got your project rolling yet?

[HiImBrian]

I think I'm keeping him pretty busy

[92EvilTalon]

Wow looking great Jake. I also like to see some updates of that front end. Good luck with it man.
