Well,
As the season approaches,the snow continues to fall and the heating oil prices continue to rise the car is coming together nicely. Many of you know I had scare last month and almost had to sell it. But the problem was averted and now I'm back on track. Or so I think. Got some new photos of the dash fabrication and gauge mounting the seat is in and the suspension only needs two grade ten bolts to finish it up. So heres some photos. Next week motor install with Hewland transmission, and the new header fabrication. Attached image(s)

Progress Update:
The race weekend went okay, heres what went on with the car itself. Alignment: Front: 1 degree negative camber in the front, 1/32 toe out 30 degrees caster, will change to 2.5 next weekend Rear: 45 minutes of camber in the rear with 0 toe Corner balanced to LF 437 RF 446 LR 544 RR 539 or 1966 lbs with 2 gals of gas and 50lbs of lead in the car. So it weighs 1954 LBS without fuel, also known in aviation circles "Zero Fuel Weight" Not bad, I hope nothing falls off. It has a little crossweight in the car, but I am not concerned. Absolute dry without driver is 1750 lbs without lead. Not bad, and I can take more off the car. I found some lead in plate form about 3/8 of an inch thick, which I can place in the car very low. I have the lead bolted to the right hand floor board just in front of the cross brace seemed like it was the right place. I'd like to move some weight to the front end to get a better balance although what I have is not bad. The Hewland has survived the race, but the Inner CV (type 1 bug) has not. Some of you already know this from my other post. I have the removed the rear cover and shipped it to RIC Racing in Bow NH to modify the left to right throw of the shift lever and add a seal to the rear cover. Thats all for now. Erik Madsen |
