its been fun learning - its the first time we use tube like this! we use a computer program called bend tec pro to help us calculate the tubes, without it we would have made a lot of mistakes!
wheels have arrived now
we try to keep the car nice and light for the swamps so we use alumium and fibreglass a lot, Mike came and made the mould for the roof section
about 80% of the car is Tig welded - its been a long time since I did this, I need more practice!
we cut some more tube
and made the suspension brace
and the wings
suspension is 16" (40cm) in the back and 14" (35cm) front, the bodies are 63mm
nothing exceeds like excess....
