that was pretty good, even more of a house of cards than I thought, and all that $700 BIL and they didn't even get any re-regulation for anyone who cares, the bottom line story, The Police State Road Map

I think it's corporate. A corporate that has created a left right fight in a divide and conquer strategy. The real war is not left and right, it's between kings and serfs. "The left" didn't privatize the FED in the early 20th century, that was the wealthy elite, the countries finances have been...

There are conspiracy theories and there are conspiracy facts. I'm sorry if I label but I see the Television mindset so much it's just reflex. The TV is owned by 6 large corporations. (20 years ago it was 50) It presents a monolithic one-sided corporate viewpoint. Consolidation means power...

The only incomes raised were for the rich. For the lower 90% wages are flat or in decline in real terms since bush took office. "raised the market" are you on an island without communication? going down is not raising. If we've raised so much tax income then why the record deficit and debt...

"As a mechanical engineer I can say that these tools are fun but can lead to misleading results if not used correctly." Firmly agree. Virtual testing gets you in the ballpark, then confirm with physical testing. "In Australia the requirements for certification are very strict" Some of the...

I am currently doing the same thing, however have not got as far as this! "Have you drawn your chassis using weldments? " No, just a profile from the side, then a 1.5" extrude then shell. I'll have to look at weldments. " couldnt get it to analyse my drawing with gussets " Yeah, I've noted...

Solidworks FEA, comes with the basic package. Finite Element Analysis, or load testing finally available to the general public. tubing is ALL .083" wall 1.5" sq. 1021 steel, the pan is .025" of the same steel. The first test is on the bottom section of a typical GT40 Chassis, a little less...

It's around 150lbs here. It's only about 2/3 done in these pics, will be adding more tubing in the roof.

I'm not trying to step on toes Pete, uneducated doesn't mean unintelligent. It just means you've never been exposed to the information. If you read the history of the market crash before the great depression many think it was intentional also. And this time around there was the "plunge...

the de-regulation of the banks happened under a repug congress led by Phil Gramm, the attempt to re-regulate that you mention happened under a repug congress. Why did they fail? Once the dems got control on '06 the repugs blocked everything of substance with a new record number of vetoes, the...

that's after 10 years of drawing in cad, starting with Acad, going to Inventor, then Solidworks. Plus it's going from other plans, so was just refining design instead of designing from scratch.

Not much left after 8 years of bush boy ruin. Worst president EVER by a number of measures. Broke all kinds of records. But let's not let that bother your cut and paste effort there Chris, just one thing you put it in the wrong place, it should have been on the jokes thread. If we weren't...

CAD programs don't view in perspective when you're drawing, no matter how close or far everything appears the same size. There is a "perspective" setting but you don't normally use it.

Race Car Chassis, Design and Construction by Forbes Aird has several pages on sandwich and composites. The consensus I get from it, difficult and expensive. You have seen this thread? http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24086-carbon-gt-mono.html It's hard to get more specific with...

Congrats Randy on your new SP. Agree with Jack, anything over 400hp is overkill in this car, not to mention overloading the transaxle. You may have a different perspective, because most cars don't weigh under 2400 lbs, so to go really fast you need more than 400. But most GT40 kits are under...

""The mentality of the union auto worker turns my stomach. The sense of entitlement that made this Country what it is today."" These are two diametrically conflicting statements. Seriously all you guys that despise the Unions need to move to China. RIGHT FFFFING NOW!!!! You won't have to worry...

Drawing a new chassis in Solidworks, pretty much a lot of changes from what I actually built. Learned lots of things building. This is about 4 days work. Still a ways to go. Wish I had Solidworks before, it's way faster than Acad. Found some new tubing sizes for the diagonals, .75"x1.5"x.083"...

New chassis drawn in Solidworks

I can't get the search to find it, can you link to it? So the general consensus in the US is either an 016 Audi or a UN1-13 Renault, with the Renault being a little bit stronger? I'm designing a chassis and want the strongest transaxle with limited slip diff under $2000. 300hp or less.
