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)

The rear taillight panel will be easily removed, so the engine/trans will come out from the top... that under-the-car crap is for the birds! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) And it was a real beotch to get the car high enough to clear the hi-rise intake and carb.
Oh yeah, all the crap on top of the car is my numerous drawings of cage proposals, the Excellence opened up to Roger Sheridan's car, my engineering analysis pictures showing chassis design v. deflection and stress (read that as NERD), and anything that I ran across on the internet over the past 5 months of planning this project! I literally have nearly a full binder of internet pictures I have taken to him. AJ is probably at that "goddamn engineers" point (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Attached image(s)
