I'm lookin for someone with the 7.5" radius dies (1-5/8 dia) for making the helmet bar hoops. If someone has the dies can send the a drawing of the two bars and just pay them to do it. If I would buy the dieset, I would probably use them once. Not worth it.

Rob,
I agree with you if Eric thinks it is not a good idea then do what he thinks. After seeing some of the stuff that he has done he brings lots of experience, not just aero either.

  Try True Radius Bending. Tim is a longtime Bville racer and advertises in 2011 rule book pg.228. 805-962-2512

  Sponsored us on tubing for headers and fire lines with out asking when we first built

  Tube bending is what he does.

  Tim Rochlitzer was the original builder of the ''old'' Seth Hamond lakester and his Raspberry Rocket.

I was hoping to find someone a little closer to minimize shipping but I will keep him in mind.

I started putting some braces in the mail rails last night. A very special thanks to Chris Rusch of RMD. He is letting us borrow one of his tubing notchers and it is yielding fit ups like this. Btw this is the first cage chassis I have ever built.
 



It also helps that I can go back to the solidworks model and get the angles and lengths of the bars.

More pics from the mezzanine.




I hated to build the car so close to the wall but we sort of needed the rest of the shop to be able to make money.

Rob, a lot of guys work themselves into corners, usually near a beer cooler.

I think Joe Timney is a little closer. Deleware Chassis.

Yes, I'll ask him if he has the the 7.5R dieset.

My wife had a dream last night-
I repeat! This was only a dream! I'll have to ask her what she ate last night.
Anyhow, here goes.
I approached my wife with a proposition to get us sponsorship money for the streamliner. I had told her that it would be easier for a woman to close the deal on this project as it might be a better human interest story. She wanted no parts of it. So I went to the local Kohls where there is a transvestite / cross dresser that is employed there.
You guessed it, I was there to get tips on being a tranny or whatever so that I could approach major sponsors as a woman.LOL!!!
The things we do to get our cars done! LOL!

Btw, trannys are not common at all here in Butler county as this is mostly farm country. Sheep are a bit skitish though!
