Trent, get it over with. Show them.

[Tman]

Made a jig (wooden dowel) to get the axles in the right place and measure my tubes. Tubes are cut! Damn this thing is narrow!~

[Glen]

That's not narrow

[Tman]

That's not narrow

Well then, you know more than I!

[Peter Jack]

That's wide Trent. Take a look at some of the liners.

Trent, the 444 car has 24 " tread width in the rear,the 111 car has 17" front, 12 " rear, that's narrow, right PJ.
And there are disc brakes on all 4 corners. yeah it's tight.

[Tman]

I am almost double that Glen! I hope I nailed my numbers, want to keep the wheels away from the body aero. I know it will be right when all assembled. I am also considering adding a foot to the wheelbase like we talked about above. would make life easier.

[Peter Jack]

I think you should be just fine for a lakester Trent. Keep on keeping on! Progress is GOOD!

I keep on jumping around to avoid the burnout I kept getting in the past!

That helps in many ways---some times when you get back to it--it wants something else---or maybe you do---changes evolve---especially when you start with a clean sheet of paper and do not have a lot of building under ones belt---like me---then turbos are so, so different.

Since I am working alone I need to do it this way. But, I have good news, my partner Tom just closed on their new house a few miles away so help is forthcoming.

[moparmissle]

Just read the whole build, nice job,.
 Are there any updates?

[SPARKY]

T'man---to Tom being able to help 

[Tman]

No updates at the moment. Hanging a garage door in the space my barn doors occupied. I need to take some house time this summer and finish up what I started 6 years back!

Sparky, I hope Tom gets settled. They are having trouble closing on the house. I drove by it last night after little league. Killer spread with an amazing shop in the Shadows of Mt Rushmore.

[Tman]

Well, this is what kept me away from the computer all weekend. The barn doors were temp shop doors that I was going to reface with some fancy tin,wood and large windows. I decided I had enough projects from scratch and bout a better functioning =overhead door.





Now the rest of the summer will be spent getting the rest of the outside done! Along with the concrete work out front.

Wow Trent it looks like you even have electricity in there. I feel your pain. I'm a couple of weekeknds away from finishing our master bath remod. A 2 year project. Good thing Amy wanted the race car as well.
