Try "Speed with Style" the autobiography of Peter Revson. That was a good read! Darnel

Ok, finally pictures. Once I pick up some Alum. Heads and the rest of components, I will have the components torn down, crack tested, and re assembled. Next is the trans, I have a line on a Porsche 930 transaxle I plan to pick up in Dec. I figured I had better buy it now, since they seem to be...

Although 'Hey Joe" is my alltime favorite song, Purple Haze gets my vote for best riff! YouTube - Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze Darnel

I wish all of my projects would do this! Darnel

Hi Steve, Have you done a detailed photo shoot of your car? Would love to see more detail, looks like you did an excellent job from the pictures posted. Why not do a full spread with the body removed, detailing what components wre used (front spindles, rack, etc) It would be helpful to us other...

Looks good, Dave. Keep up the good work! Darnel

Hi Phil, The same thing just happened to me. Try these guys. Data Recovery Services, Software, Solutions - Ontrack Data Recovery I just got my data back. The company is Kroll, a large security outfit. They do good work. I had to get my data recovered, my tube frame GT40 design was on my...

Phil, Any updates? I'm on the edge of my seat! Love the Scratchbuilds, gives me incentive to start building my chassis. Just collecting parts now. Love seeing people who have the guts and knowledge to pull the trigger. Darnel

Glen, That is one of the bonuses on living in Michigan. Lot's of gearheads who are unemployed because of the imploding Auto Industry who are selling their toys! Everything is cheap here (boats, homes, cars, you name it!) I will forward pics soon. Terry, You may be right about the 016 working...

Re: Low Cost 289 - 450 HP Anyone out there have a F303 cam to sell? Drop me a line. Darnel

Wow, I think which version of the UN1 transaxle are you selling is a fair question, since, the strength and ultimately my interest depends on this. Darnel

Whoops, sorry Doug, I meant 10 times Roll Rate. (I gotta stop writing these things when I am half asleep!)

Scored big in my quest to build the under $20K GT40 car. Picked this Dual Quad Low Rise 302 intake up for $100. My performance goal is 400 HP. I will obtain the Wow factor with Dual Quads without spending the big bucks for the Webers. Darnel

3 times Wheel Frequency is usually a good design point. Anything above this point is over engineering. Darnel

I know what you are going through. In my infinite wisdom, I cut the fuel filler hose off the filler neck of my Lotus Esprit to remove the fuel tanks for leak repairs. Now that I am reinstalling them, I am having a hard time finding a new hose (modern cars don't use hose anymore). The Lotus...

The most efficient design is when ever part has two jobs, not when ever job has two parts!:stunned: Darnel

If designed correctly, the central backbone is not needed (redundant load path!). The outer tubes can carry the torsional loading better (think if you tried to twist a 5 inch diameter tube, it would be harder to do than if you tried to twist a 1 inch diameter tube). Darnel

You would make your life so much easier if you made all horizontal bars out of square tubing. That way, you don't have the nightmare of fishmouthing all of those round tubes! (see SCCA Trans Am frames) Darnel
