Here is a shot of the front suspension and all the hoses, water pump, etc running all over the place.

Here you can see the remote oil cooler adapter on the block. The steering support is not connected in this picture. It is just hanging there.

The only thing we know about the alternator is that it is a Hitachi unit. We usually just go to the local parts house and start rummaging though boxes. They are really nice guys there. David :):):) |

David, I did not go back and review all the postings, if not mentioned, your comments on the engine choice, carb vs FI, specifications, etc etc
The Odyssey battery, your experience ? http://www.odysseybatteries.com/ .........thanks |
What do you have planned for a Steering wheel? I'm picturing a traditional style but a little smaller in Diameter and a thicker grip, made out of some exotic hardwood and a raised solid gold "K" logo on Stainless for a center cap. Get Sandwich a hunk of Burl and some gold bullion, Stat!

Hoofa, you really should be nicer. When you challenge David and the boys, they take it seriously. This makes their lives much more difficult because they feel obliged to rise to the challenge and expend whatever energy and resources might be necessary to meet the challenge and, probably, go one better. So, they end up pulling a lot of OT, their wives get mad at them, etc. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You're not putting the battery there, are you? It looks like you got the chassis almost together then figured out you'd forgotten the battery! :LOL:
I'm curious, approximately how long did it take to come up with the rough design here? It seems like it would take a few years. :) Quote:

The steering wheel will be tan leather to match the seats. Our customer doesn't like wood steering wheels. I did, however, want to make a really nice steering wheel out of bird's eye maple. I really like that wood. My night stands are made out of it and our customer likes it too. The raised gold may be gilding the lily a bit. :LOL: David :):):) |

The whole process was about 2 years to date. About 1 year of really heavy research and 1 year of design, prototyping, and programming. There was overlap both directions, however. I guess I should add, more than one person were (are) working on the project. David :):):) |

In this shot you can see the "tub" like structure we made to make the chassis stiff. You can see a really great shot of the tunnel and how it contributes greatly to the stiffness of the structure.

Here is another view of the chassis. In this shot you can see everything is kinda shaped like a bowl. As you know, a bowl is stiffer than a plate.
