Joe,

I am not trying to be a negative-nancy but those brackets will need some serious reinforcement...it took me about a year to fine tune set-up. I see flexing (in every which way) wing struts often.

Thanks Tony, you are someone I would seriously like to impress. Everything I am doing here can be beefed up as it's all 1/4" and to tell the truth, if I wasn't doing this I would be board to death doing nothing.
Unless I go to Qualcomm I don't think the car will ever see the north side of 100. I am worried about flex on the rear wing but I haven't even started it yet.

Getting ready to cut out the brackets. Let's see how the picture came out. Ordered a new camera this morning really need to make this easier.

Showed this picture to my brother and he called them, "Horse head brackets." I really like it but you just can't see it on the Carerror. So it's lost in the translation. I didn't plan any of this, it just happens.
Love the swoopiness of the Swansneck and it sounds os much better than Horse head bracket.

Making up the templates except for the straight lines I did it all freehand and scribing. My work has come along way. We'll see when I go to bolt them in.

Difficult, yes but unlike turbo charging a 914 it can be done.
The Brackets for the Swansneck now in aluminum. A lot of detail left to do but you got the point and I got the Force. Down Force.

This has been fun and there is a lot of people watching.

Looking very nice ... One question - will there be load on the end plates with your design that requires them to be made from the 1/4" stuff?

No longer in mock up. I have the pieces for the other side and this is what I am going to use. Now I have to make it all fit together.
More pictures tomorrow.

Yeah what he said!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)
The first time I ever heard of an unsponsored racer they were called a privateer, lately I heard TC call them underfunded. My hole life is underfunded. I scrounge material where ever I can find it. All I needed for this project is the wheels and stuff for the fiberglass. It has been a really cool project and even though it isn't complete yet I believe it is going to make the car appear much more intimadating. Especially when I finish the fairing and the rear wing.

It's already scary black, so if you make it look even more intimidating, you're gonna have to classify it an AR-914, assault teener.

She is not going to stay black, at some point in time I would like to be able to put some color on her. Thomas and Dan wanted her flat black, I was thinking flat primer yellow. At this point I am thinking about a blue and orange. It seems my time estimates are much worse than Eions. You know, Island time, Elon time and Joe Sharp's time. The slowest.

OK so I got curious and asked Google. Looked up the information on a Piper cub and it can lift 14.2 pounds per square foot of wing area. I have 3.8 sf of foil for a grand total of 53 pounds of force. I'll weigh all of the parts and post it later. Right now some resin is drying and it will be a few hours before I can move it.
The foil weighed 7 lbs and the brackets weighed in at 11 and at this time there is no hardware. So roughly 20 pounds added to the front of the car. When I started this project I was thinking about 15 would be good.

It would be cool to have the ability to control the angle of attack from the cockpit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

... kind of like when I could adjust the ignition timing's advance/retard settings on my '67 bus to find that 'sweet spot' (when heading over the Grapevine on the way up to the Kern River) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Damn Mark, I was just getting to the point that I could actually start fitting the brackets to Carerror. Maybe I can make it adjustable later, good idea though.
Pics from a new camera. No idea how this is going to come out. Last time I changed cameras the pics came out sideways.
Too Falcon big…
Changed cameras back

Joe, go into the camera's menu and reduce the image file size - or save the image(s) on your computer and reduce the pixel size(s) in there

Thanks Mark, done in camera. I'll do a test pic in the morning.

Very cool project. Love the DIY aspects. I'm a total dumpster diver for parts too.
