Disassembled the beast over the past couple of weeks in Orange and then AJ (the guy building the tube chassis) did some minor cutting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I am getting pretty excited about the project though, should be cool if every crazy idea I have works out... never really know until you start piecing the puzzle together.
All things work on paper, only some things work in reality (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) If anyone really cares I will continue to post pics as the progress moves along... here is some starting pics. BTW, more pics are on my website in the chassis link I have started. Here is a shot of week1 Attached image(s)

thanks for the help Jeroen, I added the URL and checked the www button and it seems to work.
As for WCC '07, I am more hopeful to have it done closer to '06! Not that I will probably be able to make the trek up to Oregon. We will see. Andyrew, I wish I had the money to do what I am doing as well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Just kinda gotta pick your poison I guess - when I was 16 my dad looked at me and said, "If it meant you would have to wear a Tshirt with holes in it and the same pair of jeans everyday, you would if that's what it took to have a Countach" (mid-80s when the Countach was the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) - just saw a TopGear episode about the exact thing a while back). That was one of those funny conversations to which I replied "Yes" and have since managed to live up to it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Talked to AJ at lunch, the rear section is now officially gone, he worked the firewall area a bit more and the 2x3 chromoly will hopefully be in the shop by Friday (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |
