You're definitely "on a mission" and killing it! Bet you take a "1st drive" before the end of this year. Stay after it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Unfortunately its unlikely. im working on it like an animal right now because tuesday i leave for 6 weeks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) the racing industry is ridiculous but its fun so you must make sacrifices. That being said ill save up a load of money for fun parts!


Okay, the info about the racing season and the NC location finally answered some questions in my mind...I was wondering how you developed your skills in engineering and fabrication. Your build is amazing and I'm looking forward to your progress when you get back to it! And stay safe!

Im actually in an engine shop not a fab shop, my skills are mostly home grown. but believe me it doesn’t hurt working in racing when it comes to acquiring skills.

Fantastic! The shifter structure looks great with kind of a modern super car geometry to it. The wheels seem like positive offset (would have expected more dish). Are you planning to run them inboard a bit for body clearance? Amazing vision and execution as always!

Love this whole thing. Great videos, interesting content. I only wish I had something to add but you clearly have everything well in hand.
Oh wait, I do have something to say: Don't say I didn't warn you about MIG splatter adding some patina to your seat! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Keep up the spectacular work.

I dont own a mig welder actually. not once has one been used on this car. Now that everything is where it should be the seat will come back out and into storage for a bit. I want to lower the seating position some more too for head clearence. not that it isn’t currently acceptable but i want it better.

@tazz9924 - your extra special custom made parts are ready! Well, except I didn't final drill the holes. They're plasma cut to .2" diameter but a quick pass with a 1/4" drill and you should be set to use a 6mm bolt.
OK if I leave that to you? Assuming so, I'll get them in the mail in the next day or so.

Wow. I had no idea you were so young. Amazing job!
I was just down your way buying another motorcycle.

Finally starting to get back at it after a long work trip. I started off fixing some fust in whats left of the longs. i cut out the offending spots and welded in new american steel. ...hopefully it’ll last longer this time and mostly ground down the welds. some i couldn’t reach just yet but so far so good. onto the Driver(?) side.

Cut out those gross ugly longs i hear you guys talk about (and to a greater extent have nightmares about). What was left was totally un needed so i cut it all out and i worked on installing my stands. So you can still walk, stand, crawl,complain about how low the car is over, and fall over, all over the door sills. i really like how it looks too!

For us oldies:

Dude! That is totally tubular!

Seriously, wicked cool build. I simply HAVE to find a way to get back there, meet you and see your build.

Finished up the other side of the rockers, removed the last little tight spot in the steering and oh yeah: Removed the front springs so it doesn’t sit up all stupid. The good news is my control arm angle on the front is gonna be dead nuts. its a little high now believe it or not but it needs to come down about an inch or two. Right now the control arm is angled down slightly so to make it level it needs to go lower (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) oh and btw i cut the passenger side spring in like 5 pieces to get it out. Ill need a custom strut to get the hight i need so i dont feel bad.
