awelker: nice "naked" view of your lakester- looks fantastic!
How much clearance between the inboard "moon discs" and the front rims? Any front brakes in there?
Yep , what he said
Moving on
When we built the Spirit of Sunshine, we had a Cad drawing courtesy of Reverend Headgash.
It made some of the stuff easy, however there was still a lot of trail and error with making stuff fit
we still have issues, like when we change the diff ratio, we have to take the engine and gearbox out to do it
It will all fit, eventually
Read the rule book, then read it again, then read it again, then read it some more
Then when you finally get your liner to tech, some one will point out what you missed.
I do tech inspection at two different meetings on two different sides of the planet, and I still miss some stuff on our tank
The guys on the forum will be some of the most helpful you can meet, especially ant 1;30 in the morning when you can't sleep
because you have been staring at something all day wondering how the gosh darned heck (Utah speak) you are going to make that thing work. Some one in Australia, England, New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, or Tonapah will have an answer that make sense that will involve a part you can buy from a local salvage yard for $5.00
Yep, some of us will make smart ass comments, and some will not share, but most will help and give advice, some good some not so good
run a build diary here, it's worth while.
And if you have a few days spare, take a look at our build dairy,
http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,862.0.htmlIt goes for a few pages.....
We were told by another tank crew, you will never make that thing do 200
but we have managed to drag 215mph out of a wing tip tank with a 3.8 Liter V6 that only makes a few horsepower
Anyhow, enough of this
