"Look Ma, no, jack stands..."
Or tie downs, chains, ropes or any other temporary support for the trans! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) Several folks have asked how the trans was going to be mounted. Well, here's how. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The mount plate still needs to be cleaned up a bit, and I'm going to make another set of "ears" that will fit on the other side of the chassis tube. These will be attached to the mount plate and the sides boxed in to add a bit of fore-aft support. Also have been busy cutting away more sheet metal at the rear. The two small tubes support the rear bodywork and will carry the wing loads. Progress, progress... It's starting to look like a race car... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Here are some pics. Note the lack of jackstands...

Thanks Guys!!! I really appreciate all of the encouragemnt!
Yeah Bill, sometimes it feels like progress is slow, then I look around and it seems like a lot has been done. Having it sitting there with no arificial supports seems like a REALLY big step though! It's going on the scales for the first time today, just to see where we are weight-wise. Like I told the guys yesterday, that could be scary. I'm not sure what I'm expecting, but I hope its less than that...
