Yeah, that looks a little sketchy when the chassis is stripped. The suspension cross member bolts into that tab and a cross brace ties the whole assembly rearward to the tub, I tried to find a good picture in my photo archive but couldn't find one. Here is a shot of the bottom of the car, you can see the mounting points that the bolt in brace mounts to. With the suspension components directly behind this tab I feel like that is the most I can do to stabilize it, hopefully the brace along with the 1/8" plate I welded in there are sufficient.

By my thinking, that's pretty much how the cars are from the factory. You didn't really change anything structurally, just made it see-through. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I totally agree, it is scary when you "make the car see-through" and expose how little is actually holding the front end together!

Great idea!

Plexiglass portals in the body work to expose the cutaway "awesome-ness";-}

Or just make a plastic body like Pontiac did in '40 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you tie that 1/8" plated tab back into the chassis like the red line denotes that should help detune the constant vibration that will crack the chassis over time. I see it as a long term issue more than a point of weakness that would cause sag or cowl shake.

I think he's still trying to finish his 1st year in his Masters program at The Nittany Lion.

Yup, I accidentally got accepted to my dream school for my Masters degree in Architecture and had to move to Philly to attend UPenn (not Penn State). Not only did I have to leave the Anklebiter back home in Colorado, this program is so challenging I wouldn't have the time to work on it even if I had it here.
I still have every intention of finishing the project after grad school but I need to focus on kicking ass at school right now. Don't worry though, I haven't let this Ivy-league school take the mechanic out of me, I am taking a series of experimental robotics classes along with my Architecture classes so when I return to the car expect some pretty legit technology to make an appearance in the design.
To tide you over here is a fun little video of a design project I got to make last semester .

Thanks for sticking with the build, I am really looking forward to getting back to it once my education goals get accomplished.

Stick with your goals Dana!
Just think of all the new ideas you'll come up with when you get back to your project.
Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Very cool! Tell us more! I have helped with a few robotics projects while at Ball. The last two were called Spirt & Opportunity.

Maybe we could turn the anklebiter into a transformer:

I'm sorry to inform you, but we at the 914 world, have decided you are too smart for this BBS. You are being asked to leave. Thanks for the input, but you have made too many here insecure.


BTW what's the song in the video ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

LOL! Oh thats all? Just the rovers that redefined our understanding of Mars? That is awesome!
I am getting into really primitive stuff in comparison, mostly reactive architectural systems that are fed data by motion sensing cameras and accelerometers that then interface with an arduino to power servos. I have found a great niche that lets me be an Architect and a gear-head at the same time.

Scotty, here is the link to the song:Enter the Machine

And yes Gint, I am doing everything in my power to return to the Front Range area, it has really become home base for me and I plan to settle down there if I can find a good enough job after graduation.

Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) we're all sorry about this.


Please leave your 914 at the door on your way out.
