Started late this summer.

 

Can you give us some info on the rack and pinion? many members are interested in this mod. Also how far back did you move the engine.

Thanks foe sharing,
Dave

 

Looks great so far

so is this a drag car or road track car?

 

minimal mods, huh?

 

Engine is back 3" front wheels forward 2"

 

How big is your garage? And Ceiling height? I want to do a garage in Sketch up and I am not sure how big to start.

 

315s on all corners. No problems with pan clearance on this one. And Scooter garages are never big enough.

 

Now that just looks like a lot of fun!

Time attack car?

 

Nice!!

 

TVC so this is your new project. Using all you learned from the 1st one. What wheel are you using to get the 315s on the front. I take it you are still using strut suspension.

I am going to be really ticked off if you get this on the road before I finish mine. lol

 

With the major amount of time and alterations you have in this car, why not just go the route of semi-handbuilt cars like Factory Five or completely hand built cars such as the Locost?

 

No doubt, but I am just looking for a starting point. My current garage is 24x24 and WAY too small small for me trying to work in it. The way you have things situated it looks like you have a good size there. Just wondered what you're working with since you have the 4 post with room all around, plus space around the car on the stands.

 

Ha, you are so right Tibo. That reminds me when growing up people would ask me why can't you be like everyone else? I guess I don't have a good answer.

 

When you move the front wheels like that, are you using Ackermann Steering to figure out the geometry or how do you do it?

 

never thought id say this to a guy but...that's a nice rack....I know those are not cheap!!
What speed did you go with?

 

Tvc just what are you doing to move the front wheels forward 2" if you are still using stock K member. Will you be making custom lower A-arms that don't move the lower ball joint back as much as OE.

Your work is always top shelf. Can't wait to see how this project unfolds.

Dave

 

how about some updates and more pics. Eager to see more of your work.

 

Looking bad ***

 

Minimal mods... lol...

I'm also curious what you're doing to move the front wheels forward 2", but my immidiate reaction is with this level of hacking to start with why keep the stock K-member?

I'm not familiar with your previous build, what is the intended use?

 

I plan on pushing the engine back as well ... great job so far

 

Any more pictures with the long block in moc up? Like a front shot and side shot ?
