Freud:
I know that they have been working on the project from at least 02....
Is there an EDC for the project?
Also my pop and I would like to be able to see the car, any chance that someone could show us around?

When you are building a car vise grips and clamps are like girls with big "ta ta's" you just can't have enough of them around!.

I haven't been to Hume's shop for 10 days so I'll post these fotos of the fairing behind the front wheels. These aluminum skirts would be perfectly fine, unless something damages or destroys one of them, so these are the patterns for the carbon fiber ones that will be used on the car when it runs. There is a section ahead of the tire that is attached to the nose. Those pieces are about 12" long and they move ahead when the nose cone is moved forward. I'll look and see if I can find shots of those pieces.
I have shown the entire piece and views of portions of them. They are 12" wide x 71 1/2" long.

Here is a view of the model that shows the wheel fairings.
This foto was before the model was in the tunnel. it shows
the initial nose as compared to the finalized shape following the tunnel tests.

The actual front section mated to the rear portion before they were separated.
Bless the vice grips.

The throttle pedal was done to be able to control each engine individually or both simultaneously. It was programed and done by Les Davenport with a CNC mill. The shadow on the left top shows the ability to have different levels of throttle on either engine for warm up or even if the car is run using just one engine.( The difference in position was done just to show flexibility.) The car can function with either engine alone or with both engines. It can also be run 4 wheel drive, front wheel drive or rear wheel drive just by removing drive belts. Either engine can be used in any drive situation.
The throttle linkage attached to the back side of the pedal. Fully adjustable.

Butterflies for the front engine and a look at the continued use of vice grips.

THANK YOU, JL22
It's fun but not a short drive. The shop is really getting full and it's
difficult sometimes to find the right place from which to shoot.
The fluorescent lighting is a real challenge and the old lights
were all replaced 2 weeks ago. The new ones are a different
color temp. Oh well.............
The car will be going to Oregon in 2 weeks and then it will all
change again. That drive is 3 times as long.

Freud, I just wanted to thank you very much for taking the time to post this build. I read the whole thread last night for the first time. I have learned so much about things you have posted and been confused by the other half. That is what is great about an internet forum such as this one, the learning and sharing of info and meeting these awesome people. Is there a time frame that Marlo would like to have the car done by? Or is it that everything is gonna take "X" amount of time and it's finished when it's finished? Scott |

When it's completed it's ready to try. Marlo has goals but he's more concerned that NOTHING is compromised in the build. He chose to have Jim Hume build the car and they confer frequently. Marlo wishes it was done years ago but it's not.
It's a piece of art, but art is best enjoyed when it's presented to the public. That's the goal and they are hell bent on accomplishing that. Presenting it to the public includes it running. That's the real goal.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I haven't made each post clear. Ask and I'll try to explain what I intended to say.
