Actually it is going well.  Hooley is working everyday hard in OK, I'm working most of the time in Utah and have lots to post that has been done by everyone, but haven't  .  John made some major body panels to fill in the 2 foot hole ahead of the cowl from extending the wheelbase and Mark has been making items for the car back in Georgia.  I'll try and get some pictures posted this next week,

It shows how John made new side pieces to fill in the extended nose.



Lots more has been done, I just need to get busy posting,

I've added 4 pages to the build.  The building of a radiator-in-a-box.  I need to thank Sparky for the idea and the help in consulting us on this.  Of course if it doesn't work we will know who to blame  .

Here are a few pictures...















... with lots more and descriptions of the work done at the bottom of the page here.....

wow I didn't know you were going to convert it to a 4 door

[Sumner]

I added a youtube video of pumping water through the box surrounding the radiator with one of the pumps that will be used with the intercoolers.....

.... it flowed about 15 gallons a minute and the Mezeire we are going to use should flow quite a bit more.

Also....



.... added a page on the mounts for the rad-in-a-box.....

I added a page last night on the work Hooley has done with the vertical stabilizers and wing....



to the build....

http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/Hooley%202013/13%20-%20construction%20menu.html

I have the stabilizes and wing in Utah and need to finish it.  He has most of the front body work made if not all by tonight and he has the motor mostly together, waiting on pushrods and he needs to get the dummy motor out of the car so he can get the intake off of it.  He had to finish the body panels around the engine before he could remove it.

John was over at his house today and helped put a hole in the nose of the car for the scoop inlet and lined up some other body work that needs to be finished.  I started on the tank for the ice water for the intercoolers and will go back to that since I'm shipping the rad-in-a-box back to OK tomorrow.  I finished it today with multiple heat shields on the header side of the box,

Wow! That's a helluva wing!

How did you go about calculating the down force needed, or the amount of down force this wing can generate? It seems to me, that too much down force will add to drag, and also will/may add too much 'weight' to the tires.

Can you explain the process to those of us with little understanding of the principles behind this?

Car looks wicked!
