Thanks Hal. Very interesting to many of us, I'm sure. The work that got covered up is just as impressive as what we'd seen so far.

I thought maybe you lopped off two cylinders

Wow, the work you put into that car is too much to comprehend. You're a very talented fabricator!

I think those tires are way to skinny! I run 215/55/15 on the rear of my spider now and break them loose with out any problems. What are you going to do with all that torque?

The rear tires actually are 245 50 13. I like the look of the 13 better than 14 or 15. The 245 was the biggest I could find.

That so cool Hal!

How was it matting the top portion with the bottom? Did you design what you wanted in the bottom first, then do the top? Or, did you keep in mind what measurements you had to work with. Then adjust as necessary.

Actually I did it on the computer knowing all the dimensions where I wanted to mount everything and developed the chassis and the computer gave me a cut list for making the chassis.

Wow I can't believe I missed this thread earlier, I am so impressed, such a great project, with such great execution. So
OHh the joys of Solidworks Weldments

Next time you undertake a project like this let me know, I work with 3d scanners which could really be useful in a project like this. I have contemplated making my own control arms, and although they are simple enough to measure and design myself, having a 3d scanned part for reverse engineering is kinda fun.

p.s.
Simple example of the 3d scanning assisting in reverse engineering of turbo flange.

Yes I outlined it before machining... my programming abilities are so poor I was paranoid
