     Tony - wow! Make sure I know when you take that thing thru tech so I can listen to the whining and watch the headscratching. Sorry I missed you @ Speedweek.

     @Tman - "AND know what the heck I am looking at!"  You and me both! It also applies to data acquisition analysis.

Like I said in the aero thread. In caveman voice "Me make pointy car, go fast."  :-D :wink:

I had Kevin send some better shots of the work being done on the girdle. This week he will start working on the cross bolted mains and the oil pan rails. Once all this is done we can start the design work on the crank and dry sump pan. Tony

Wow!

1st class, as usual! That bottom end should be super solid- I think I have '7 main envy'! :cheers:

Freud and Buddy, Thanks for the compliments, its been fun figuring out how to rework everything, though sometimes it almost feels like reinventing the wheel.  I cant wait to start on the belt drive for this, nothing is off the shelf.  Its a labor of LOVE! Tony

Finished up the scatter shield adapter to the trans axle. 


Finally got around to clear hard anodizing the rear motor mount.  I am pretty happy with the way it turned out considering it had to be hand sanded to remove some of the machining marks.  I wish I had a tumbler big enough to put this in.  Tony

I once had an employer who used to complain that every time he'd come by my bench there wasn't very much happening, then one day he'd be going past and see the project at or nearing completion without warning. I always built what I felt were the main components first and then assembled them all to complete the project. Not all people work that way.

Nice work Tony! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Tony, I hope that's just the hardwood floors in your "shop" and not the dining room table like we've seen!  :cheers:

That wasn't a rant Mkilger. I understood where you were coming from. I probably should have used a smiley or two.

The floors are almost nicer than the pieces. Hope your wife doesn't see the posts Tony. :-o :-D :-D

Mike, To answer your question, hopefully soon.   :cheers:


Woody has been working on the aero package and we have been seeing what works and what doesn't.  Then we did and overlay of the current frame and  ran into a few issues as shown in the picture.  Now we are redrawing the frame to fit the aero.  Our criteria for the roadster has always been 1.safety 2.aero and in that order.  I have distorted the back of the car as not to show too much.  All you inquiring minds will have to wait and see it on the salt.  :evil: :evil: :evil: Tony
