Making parts for the land Speed Vette project

[Scott Colmer]

It's been a while since I updated this project. I have been working steady on it, but there have been a LOT of parts to make. The engineering is a blast, but time consuming.

Transaxle and parts. Carbon fiber leaf, push bar, lever action shocks, and other bits.

Aluminum steering wheel with nurled handles and thumb shifters.

Hinge for canopy. This will probably get reworked.

Caps on brake and clutch fluid jars and welds on water and fuel tanks. That worm thing is a practice weld. It took a while to get the technique down.

Scott:

Such a beautiful car. I went to your Fotki of the build and it was real inspiration - a testament to the scratchbuilder's art. I'll be following this one avidly and learning all the way.

I love the photos and remarks on the scratch building process in your fotki. Fun to watch all the detail come to life. I hope you don't stop when this one is finished.

Amazing design and talent

This is one of the things I love about this forum.

So many new talented builders, with such great imagination and skills..

Something here for nearly every taste.

For me personally, since I joined here a year ago, I have learned so much, and have expanded my styles of building quite a bit.

"OLD DOGS" can learn new tricks

Thanks everyone.

And thanks Scott for sharing you're beautiful work - dave
