Re: My Winter Project....
Well its looking good to bringing it there but I really doubt it will run by then. Im talking with a few companies about full sponsorships to get me an engine, turbo, tranny, etc so if any of those pull through it may be running but I doubt even that. I am however pretty sure I will trailer it there just for fun.
I finished getting the body aligned with the chassis, putting on the fenders, bumpers, doors, etc. Along with all the brake componants, rear end, suspension, tires, etc... Its pretty much a full rolling chassis again.
I will get it tinned this week for sure. It may not be my final aluminum work but it will suffice for now to get it going. There are still alot of loose ends to tie up but many of them are not difficult or time consuming. I expect it to be fully finished minus the engine / transmission within a week or two at most. I should set up a donation box for an engine, transmission and turbo or something
Pics of the project will be coming up shortly here. It all turned out quite well.

Re: My Winter Project....
I tried to make it to a little outing here so I quick welded up my front tube that holds the front bumper and hood and will eventually hold the radiator, trans cooler, fuel cell, etc... So all in all it has every body panel on it now. I need to do a bunch of riveting, dzus fasteners and aluminum work but its getting very very close. Hopefully the next few weeks will get it finished up!

Re: My Winter Project....
Oh and it weighs 1180 with everything minus aluminum work, lexan windows, longblock, turbo assembly, transmission. driveshaft, fuel cell, radiator/trans cooler and two doors. Not too bad. Im still hoping to be around 2100 lbs race weight. Might need to swap out the trunk with a fabricated carbon one and maybe the doors but I think Ill make my goal or be very close to it.

Re: My Winter Project....
Anyone know where I can get it certified? Also, how much of the safety equipment needs to be on it? I am still missing a driveshaft tunnel, firewall (And other tin work), and a window net. Do they need this stuff to cert it or could I get it done right now?

Re: My Winter Project....
Are those tires going to clear at speeds? Seems close where you cut out the rear door jambs.

The tires wont expand width wise... But they will get taller. The car hopefully has plenty of clearance.
