A car engineered to this standard shouldn't have a problem. It is certainly doable.

Anyway, back on topic. |
I am fortunate to be able to be as creative as I want, thankfully. Where I am in the US there's absolutely no kind of inspection since it is already titled. I just have to pay my money and get on the road (if that ever happens)! I have been slaving away doing dirty work but I have some updates coming soon.

Can someone tell me why I cannot see any picture in this thread?
It works with all other threads... Help is very much appreciated! Thanks, Axel |
Just a guess Axel - can you see pictures in another browser?

Did you try updating your flash extension? I am using imgur to host the photos, are you having problems seeing other images hosted on that site?

I made some progress a while back but neglected to post. This was tedious work but it had to be done. I decided to add some gussets from the rear frame crossmember that would tie in to the strut tower area/frame rails.

275NART - Looking good. :cool:

amazing work

It has been quite some time since I updated. I have been working on translating a 3d model into a real physical structure and all is going well so far.
I ended up shortening the sides approximately 2" for the wheelbase to match the body as well as massaging the rear quarters to look closer to photos.* Visually it looks correct after a quick photoshop job too.* I have to just assume the 3d model I have been working with*was a tad out of scale.* Unfortunately*the 3d printed parts are quite fragile and I need to reinforce the insides before I crack any more pieces off...* After that I can begin hard mounting everything on the chassis.* The plan is to have it all be bolt on*for ease of removal as needed for working on specific sections.* https://i.imgur.com/GW7YAXE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UFUeUkQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aZ0WT3N.jpg |
That wire frame is a work of art in itself. :cool:
Good luck, Paul. :) |
The thread that keeps on giving. Love it. As Paul said, piece of art in itself:tea:
