One of our drivers requested a drink holder. I offer up two choices, Stainless and Aluminum  OK, I don't know about this aluminum guy but I'm not holding any one's coke  but if your bud wants to hold my beer, I'll drive  Knew that one was coming! DOH! |

Just don't put your coke anywhere near my ice. Now, Tman... why didn't you run that down tube on the front hoop right to the rail?  |

Since most of our body parts are strung out forward of that juncture I decided to run the shoulder hoop continuous to the front. If you look at the previous tape experiments ther are a few tubes we are adding to tie that one in pretty solid. If this was a roadster or more of a sit-up car I would have run it all the way to the frame. |

Front axle is here! Went with a dropped axle for several reasons, one is, this car is LOW with 22" M&H front tires. Looks wide in the picture but track is 44"  Special thanks to Matt Legare at www.lakeheaders.com for the axle. |

time warp You mean my axle and wide track?  Thats the hotrodder in me. Looking for ideas on how to mount the axle to the front. Plan so far is 2x3 uprights with DOM bungs. The axle will have 2 plates per side to mount double shear on the uprights. Trying to decide if I want adjustment for caster and how to do it. I have some sketches done up with two-three sets of bolt holes allowing adjustment from say 8-15 degrees. Time to make some cardboard patterns and see if it will work. |

Working on the glass nose I started 13 months ago. Ready to pull a splash off it this week. Beeswax is one of my favorite things, don't know what mold release is but pretty sure my old standby wax will work. Got the thing coated, ready to work on my layup. This will be one of the few glass part on the car for fire resistance.   |
