Building my first Streamliner

[manta22]

I know how you feel; my chassis is also stripped bare and I'm doing the final welding on it. After it is sandblasted, primed & painted it will look a lot better! Then all the stuff gets put back together and it will start to look like a racecar again.

I figured this will be the first of many times it will get put together and taken back apart just to get it right.  And we wonder why we "enjoy" this stuff!

[kustombrad]

So now I'm sending my front wheel design to my guys to be FEA tested to keep the momentum on that part going! Still moving forward on lots of little things. This thing is going to be a blast!

If you think this is fun, and it is, wait until you crank it over and it comes alive and moves under its own power.

The "fun" I really want is too do, is have to pay a visit to "Warnerville"!

The first visit is good but the second one is better.

Out at Elmo today! Was fun 'til it got called for wind! For the last month and a half this desert has sucked (blows) with all the wind we've had! Met some new people and heard some compliments on the liner which definitely made my day (thanks Fred!)!

Sorry to hear about the lousy weather.

The compliments you get will keep you motivated all the way.

I can't wait to see what the car looks like when you get it back.

[kustombrad]

Quick question... Could I drag my roller out to Elmo for the next meet and have the tech guys check it out? I can grab a log book and start checking things off. I wanted to get the tubing size and thickness (still stamped on the tubing) checked off before it's all painted and done. What does this entail on my part? When are all the other cars done being teched so stragglers like me can show up? Any ideas? Thanks

[tauruck]

Brad, when do you get it back?.

[kustombrad]

The chassis is still sitting on my table. It's all being built and welded where it's at! I'll put the front suspension back on the end of this week and the rear stuff this weekend!

The Tech people are very cooperative. They would probably come and check it at your place.

Just ask to find out.

Freud, what about mine?.

You can always ask. They may not have proper

shoes for walking below the equator.
