Hi
Please take a look to attached pictures since, i'm very happy with door to body gap of 4mm (5/32") and large (approx. 80 degrees) opening angle of the door peace ozgur http://lh4.ggpht.com/_V7qa_5pfXNo/Sz...s800/doors.jpg |

how about your 8/9th scale mini-cobra project ? peace ozgur Quote:

Progress
My scaled Cobra is in the parts gathering stage still.
It has acquired a name though, from the sound of thunder from the engine: BRUTUS :eek: I now have almost all the parts and can start designing the frame as soon as I finish the RV rebuild. I'm building cabinets now and close to the end. I have decided to build a copy of CSX2196, the "Flip Top" car that is coming up for auction January 22, 2010 at RM auctions: http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCar...Z10&CarID=r202 I have been leaning towards the 289 body style for some time but the pictures of the Flip Top decided it for me. The low wind screen, both ends opening up and even the fold down door make it unique. For ease of design I have decided on a simple 90% scale instead of 8/9ths. Do you still have the cut patterns for the body sections (mold, or buck) frames for your car? May I purchase a set? |
great to hear that your "Brutus" is moving forward
it would be good if you open new thread about your project as you know very well flip-top has got unique body shape but, I'll do my best if you tell me critical dimensions of "Brutus": front&rear track width wheelbase front & rear tire diameter & width location of engine & transaxle overall dimensions of engine & transaxle for packaging regards Ozgur Quote:

not much bodywork left
most difficult part is to say "it's done and ready for paint" Quote:
|
Ozgur you are doing a great job on your car. keep it up.

thanks again for your words
although today is the last day of the year 2009, I've worked on the car till 5 PM http://lh3.ggpht.com/_V7qa_5pfXNo/Sz...1220091456.jpg Quote:

i'm also like this picture accoding to my records, i've used 142 litres (37.5 US gallons) of fuel so, it's approx 1000 kilometes (625 miles) since May 2009 not so bad for a car for this finishing level regards ozgur ps: i know i'm a very boring mechanical engineer because of all this records and calculations |
