[DirtModeler]

That motor is so crazy awesome, man!

[comp1839]

thanks a ton, guys!!! it'd good to be working on this car again. it has sat entirely too long.

tony, the rotor itself is a machinable composite of some sort. sort of like, but not, renshape. where it's from..........i don't know. sorry. the hubs are machined aluminum.

Dave.... I am super excited to see you back on this build. I have been waiting for some updates and you sure didn't let me down. I sure love your work and I am looking forward to more. Everything is a masterpiece by it's self. I sure can't wait for your next update.

[comp1839]

thank you guys!

got the drawings done for the rear wheel centers. here's one of them.

.

fits nicely over the wheel hubs / studs.

used a sharpie to see what they'll look like in black.

Beautiful work.

[vintagedragfan]

crazy good stuff Dave!! sweet!!

[futurattraction]

Super job, Dave! Looking forward to more...

[comp1839]

finished the other wheel center and got onto the rim. these wheels replicate a 16x16 double beadlock wheel w/ 4 1/2" backspace and a 5" bolt circle.

the wheel. still have to machine the beadlock portion on the wheel. then make the bead lock rings.

Looks awesome Dave. Looking forward to more. Hope to see you in Gilbertsville on 9/8.

Works of art, Dave. That's all I can say...

[comp1839]

hey greg, my apologies. i was going to answer your question about the body and it slipped my mind. as of yet, i haven't done any body prep. i want to get the main frame rails built and some of the cage so i can mount the body. i believe, i need to support it better for sanding. i'm a little heavy handed.
