Pretty car

What an incredible amount of work, quite impressive. It is sad he didn't get to see it finished. Thank you for continuing to post, your creations are wonderful.

Holy moly that looks good and is quite a project, very impressive. Looking forward to seeing the next steps

Not much to add but I feel for you. I went through a similar challenge 10 or so years ago due to my lack of knowledge. I didn't know who to trust, ended up with an expensive education. My way out was to get to a single person and have them accountable for repair. I am sure this hurts...

Wild... I remember being in college when I found this site. I used to read the ERA Replicas webpage at least once a week to get my new found GT40 fix. Thanks for keeping this forum running, I still check it multiple times a day.

well this should be super cool!

Hahahahah, that is funny :)

Looks like fun, hope you can post more pictures

It was too bad it was cancelled due to funding but I get why these things happen. CERN turned out to deliver on the promise but it took a few tries to get the technology to work... again, for something that has never been done this should be expected. Interesting note, the CERN facility...

Fusion is awesome, I so hope they can figure it out. Does feel like it has been 5 years out for the past 30 years.. but it is massively complex so I am not judging nor do I think I could do any better.

Ian, what are you skeptical about? Clearly wind power requires trucks to transport the turbines, it requires a bunch of effort to pour concrete, etc. all things you say. Candidly, coal and gas power plants require that as well. Wind takes a lot of space / acreage for all the towers.. birds get...

I remember reading about these new types of plants but I don't remember if the cooling requirements change although I would assume they would. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/first-u-s-small-nuclear-reactor-design-is-approved/

My adjustment above I don't really understand the fascination with thinking anything "new" or different is terrible; it continues to seem odd to me that people who enjoy engineering and building cars think that new types of technology is bad. Hydro has been around forever, is a "renewable" and...

Jeff, I realize the answer to this question is probably more complex than a simple answer via an internet forum can facilitate but can you elaborate? If I take the decommissioning costs out (which I realize are massive) and the waste problem out (which is huge) what are the key drivers of...

ok, you win, I am tired

Yep, happy to help! TWA 800 had a small problem with a fuel tank as well! Good thing nothing ever blows up ever no matter what motive power is used… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWA_Flight_800

The move from Horses to Cars was a major change and there was pushback from many. Having more options (EV & ICE) seems like a better option. https://www.vox.com/2016/5/27/11789008/early-automobiles-cars-horses-fight...

In fairness planes have batteries installed... https://787updates.newairplane.com/787-Electrical-Systems/Batteries-and-Advanced-Airplanes

The word "required" was used, Cash for Clunkers, was not a requirement. The Cash for Clunker also occurred before electric cars were available like they are before. Just trying to understand where old cars are being "required" to be crushed as was stated before
