69boss429,
Sometimes us "artist" types only see what we could have done better, smoother, stronger, lighter...I think it is an artistic defect. I do appreciate the kind words, however. The final judge of the car will be the customer. If he is happy, then I will pass out...and wake up happy.
hoofa,
I loved the bug comment. We did all that on the inside because it would be really hard to put carpet on those milled out pockets! We did, however, leave some cool billet parts bare in the interior. I will try to find some pics of them and post them soon.

Hoofa,
I think there will be plenty of "flaunting" going on.

Before anyone has a cow!!!
The differential is SUPPOSED to be offset like that. The pinion is exactly 1.000 inches set to the right in the car. As such, the engine is set 0.500 inches to the right to help straighten out the drive line. It is supposed to be like that. You would not believe the calls we have gotten over the years with people wondering why our engine is "crooked" in the car.
Trying to line the tunnel up and all the other parts and giving clearance for everything was a major challenge.

This is a shot of the little bracket in the rear that holds the down tube. Everything on the car was milled at funny angles.

David,
Are you going to bringing this artwork to SAAC-33 so that thousands of us can check it out in person?  |

As soon as the car is done, it will go to the customer. We do, however, hope to be test driving it at our homecoming that is coming right up.

Here you can see the side door sils going on. This is another one of the keys to the stiffness of the chassis. Here you can also see the cowl "hoop" and the door pillars have been mounted on.

After all of the development work on this beauty, I think you should build a copy for yourselves. And then bring it to SAAC-33 and other places you show off your cars... |
