Nice. Are you going to build the pods, or did you find a set that would work?

Been working a lot lately, but had a little time today to get a few things done. Got the wing mounted finally! It will mount off the body (frame braces will be under body) on the sides. Currently they are just thin alum, but I will probably build them into the body as I still have a touch of...

Looks good Aaron. Lots of work there.

I'm pretty sure it was just burbing. Heat cycle it a few more times until all of the bubbles are out.

The intake still needs to be covered, so some kind of something needs to be there, air intakes is the most logical and works best with my layout.

Ya, the scg003 is taller. Their rear engine cover is taller and longer too. That is the illusion I am trying to create, a taller and longer engine cover. If you look at the race scg003 with the larger wing, the proportions start to get alot closer. The side view without it, is ackward imo...

In person, it cured a ton of problems I had with the side view. The car is now more properly balanced front to rear. It also splits the air scoop in two, so it stands out far less. The trough created at the base of the engine cover looked bad from many views, this lifts that up and splits it in...

Have been working alot lately. Managing to find time here and there though. Sometimes a little break is good. Got a fresh design idea for the rear and went back to the rear spine idea. I think this is the winner. Looks just wicked in person. The wing will pivot on the center spine, and then by...

No probs Dan. Don't want to see ya going down the road sideways, lol.

Let me explain the differences in my measurements. I went to the ball joint centerline, and did this measuring shortly after I bought the car. So, I was double checking someone elses work on the squaring set up and suspension install. It was off. This does not mean the frame mounting points are...

Also, for your torque check marks, extending the mark to the stationary surface will give you the ability to do quick visual checks on movement, like this-

Hey Dan. You did the alignment part a touch backwards. You must first locate square, parallel, track and wheel base. First is making sure the frame mounting points are correct. You were able to get each corner relative to itself, but you don't know if your track is offset, or parallel. Or, if wb...

Looking really good AJ. Looks like someone photobombed one of your pics too! Haha

Thanks for the compliments Mark. I have yet to decide if it is a curse, or blessing. I have to do it to keep my mind busy personally, not a choice really. That, and the "if you don't have time to do it right, how will you have time to do it over" mentality. Youtube wasn't around 29 years ago...

This is the perfect hobby. Working with your hands and your mind. Yup, anybody can tighten a bolt down. Takes an entirely different person to design the parts being bolted together. It certainly becomes addicting. Looking good!

Dropping master cylinder size will decrease pedal effort, at the expense of more travel.

The outcome of the thread search function. Lol. While it may be the 3rd post down, it is years old.

Got all of the repairs done, lift shocks in, and back installed again. The 120# are WAY to strong. Have a set of 75# and 45# coming. I'm glad I took the time to make this type of hinge. Excellent access to everything, yet doesn't protrude too far behind car. I realize the clam will have the...

Ahh, ok. So the body I have must not be the same one. I have not seen any yellow while sanding or cutting.

Will see interest when done. It is to the point now that the front could be a direct swap, but the rear would take some modification to fit at the roof to work. Not hard though. The rear could also just be an add on piece that could be grafted in. I found a place that can mold it, and they also...
