Actually it's a 16" to 20" mike. I was able to resize a photo taken before Sparky told me how to use my camera. This is what we started with.

Wow!  Extremely nice job on the wheels.

That must be a Midget Micrometer!  :evil:

I'm thinking water jet.  Too nice a cut for a saw.  :cheers:

... it's a 16" to 20" mike...
The micrometer barrel sure doesn't appear to have 4" of travel. Are there removal anvil extensions?

  weights with transport tires and me standing where my belly button is----will install race tires, fire suit and transfer water to tanks where it will be when we leave the line Monday.  will not change it much
207 wb

LF               RF
682             510    = 1192

LR               RR
952             1116  = 2068

                    Total    3260


almost exactly what the old car weighed  :-o

You have a bunch of wedge in the car. It may tend to pull to one side. It won't be a good oval car because the wedge is the wrong way!  :-D :-D :evil:

lol 
   682                       1116
-  510                     -   952
= 172/2=86            =  164/2= 82


PJ   this is just a SWAG on my part  at trying to offset the eng torque &  pinion trying to lift the right rear.  Hopefully underway it has a better chance of going straight .  This thing is seems to be pretty responsive to changing tire pressures.  It seems to be fairly torsionally ridged.

hot off the scales with race tires no wheel disks   :-o

  LF              RF
  636            506      1142
  953          1081      2034

205" wb 
cg 131" aft of the front axle

CG with driver on board is at the frt motor plate without driver 6" rear ward  hard to believe this car is 75 lbs lighter than the old car  but right now I only have 180# of ballast the old car had almost 300 and 2 batteries that sat right in front of the rear axle.  I could get another 180# in without turbos.
