iBorg Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Very nice.....I wish we were still in the era where you could build something like this, be competitive, have fun and not go broke.......

curt raitz Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Decided it would be a good idea to put some lug bolts on the car... will keep the wheels from comin' off
Bernard Kron Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 This project pushes all my buttons - one off, creative, scratchin' & bashin' at its best, accurate, historic, original - it just doesn't quit! And my favorite chassis type, the tubular space frame. In this case aggressively minimalist, eliminating some of the cross bracing where it isn't needed and substituting paneling instead. Reminds me of the great Frank Nichols of Elva fame in his early days. How much did this thing actually weigh? This must have been a total blast to think up and then execute. The planning and conceptualizing aspect of modeling is a key dimension that makes it a very special hobby to me. Seeing it executed here (I just went back and read the build thread...) is a total gas! I was traveling last month and missed the whole thing 'cause you build so fast. But I'm caught up now! Thanx for sharing, B. PS. Does anybody know if there's any connection between Bill and Burt (Rutan). They seem to have been engineering soul mates...
