"Vigilante 6.0 Vengeance" project

[Jackal]

aaarrrgh! Eventually decided to do something about the width of the Vigi. Widest from side intake to side intake, standing at 2200mm. Aventador widest is 2030mm Murcie is 2050mm. So ... hacking away again but it has to be done. Once the mold is pulled there is no more fixing.

Cheers

hehehehehe. In this case I used the back of it to rake out some foam. I actually cut out the sides and will be foaming them back in. So at least I don't loose that much material. BUT I do have a fondness for a hammer!

Ok. Re-construction has begone. I'm +/- 2060mm at the moment. Decided to throw away the side intakes I cut out for re-use. Cut out new ones and thinned the foam down. They are not fixed yet. This time I want to finish the inside of the vents first before they get foamed in.

 

[Jackal]

Foamed the intakes in. Not sure yet if I'm happy with the curved intakes and if I should make them straight and angled. Here are some progress pics.

I think it looks good with a bit of curve in the leading edge.

Thx Doug,

I kinda already changed it! I also liked it somewhat but I'm more for angles so that is what I went for. Will post some photos as soon as I have both sides done.

Hey, what do I know anyway!:laugh: The main thing is you like it and you are making progress. Keep up the good work.

not sure what I like these days and it doesn't feel like progress..... feels like I've been here before! Wish the designing comes to an end! I want to drive it dammit! hehehehe

Vents are about where I want them. Just measuring up the wheel arches etc. before the chassis get started. Front of the car looks very rough but remember I'm still shaping the vents. Note the vents are curved up to the pointed nose. Happy with the shape of everything though. Photos do not tell you how mean that front looks. :thumbsup:

 

[Jackal]

Lol. Just ordered my new remote control.

 

[Jackal]

Gert has started on my chassis!

 

[Doug]

Excellent. :thumbsup: What size and wall thickness is the tubing?

---Doug

 

[Jackal]

Hey Doug.... sorry not sure but it's off a plan (prelim drawings) Our wall thicknesses are slightly different than in the States as I understand but I'll get back to you on that
