Thank you sir. But I think I've got the design down. I don't really need to try so hard to immitate their design. I just needed a general layout / idea at first. The rest was basically go as far up in the suspension mounting points as I did in the front. I chose to only go .5" rearward to keep the wheels from looking pushed too far back. I see now I could have gone as far as .75" rearward, but that would require a slight redesign of spacers and swing arms.

The other stuff you mentioned has already been installed, like the Tilton pedal assembly, and Weltmeiser sway bar, or bought from others that have already copied.. lol. like my aluminum ebay trans mount.

 

 

hah, thanks Duke. I'm waiting to post more pictures after I get the female rod end in. Then I can fab up the chromoly tubes in the flex plate and powder coat them. I should be done in a week or two.

In the meantime, I'm running the Oil tank feed tube through the frame rail. I had to take all the front right suspension off the car to do it. I went to put it all on, but found it wasn't necessary at all. It turns and rolls around fine with no droop. She's pretty light and stiff. Very happy with the results.
I am waiting on some A.N. weld fittings before I can finish the dry sump feed and return tubes. I'll be putting in/cutting out some exhaust paths on Monday. I will be making a remote waterpump mount this weekend. Some other finishing stuff too. She should be ready for paint - The tub - by next weekend. Not sure if my painter will be ready though.

Here's a pic of the car on only three wheels. No trickery, just 3 wheels rolling on the ground. EDIT>>> LOL>. I just noticed I lost a socket in the brake duct! I 'll have to get that out in the morning. How do they find their way into those places!?

 

In case you missed this in the finally complete "Building Aluminum Torque Tube" Thread.

 

Awesome work. Looks good

 

very impressive

 

NICE

 

Thanks GUYS! I'm working my butt off on the Tub / Chassis right now to get it into the paint booth. I'll certainly post pics when its painted.

 

In the meantime, I'm trying to work out my remote water pump coolant system. Here's how most of my projects get started and figured out before any actual work is done. There are 3 other versions that I threw away.

 

Some progress. The car has to be in the booth for a couple more days before my paint guy can continue. He's going to throw on all the body panels and give it the full race car paint scheme.

 

Incredible.

 

Fantastic improvement! You won't have any trouble seeing any dropped nuts and bolts!!

 

Bruce, I know you've been told this numerous times but you're doing a fantastic job. Many people around the world are in admiration whether they post or not. I'm lookIng forward to the next phase!!!

 

Very cool project, can't wait to see it finished.

 

Beautiful work....
