Hahahaha!!! Calendar wheel!!! Hahahahaha!

I've got mine!:D

I gave one to my partner and he just laughed at it at first but I caught him using it the other day! LOL!

Great work Eric and Rodger! I like how you did the tunnel. Is the sheetmetal between the ribs a sub layer or is that how the finish will be? I also like the rear PU points worked into the crossmember. Very Cool!:thumbsup:

John

Tunnel....
 

John: The tunnel sheetmetal is .090 thick. It will be fully welded at each hoop (rib). No other layers..... what you see is it. We considered 'slotting' those sheetmetal pieces, but we felt it wouldn't look right....... so we didn't. We will window one section for the shifter.

Now those calendar-wheels are famous!.... or should that be infamous??!!!

So you'll be able to see the torque tube through the slots in the ribs?

John

Tunnel Slots
 

Yes......

I would imagine that you will be running your exhaust down the middle underneath the TT. It would seem to me that you may have heat issues since it will rise out of the slots or will the exhuast be routed differently?

John

The car has a completely separate floor. The Body is removable on this car. But the exhaust will run down the center, No sense changing a good thing. There will be so many details that will get covered up when we put the body on the chassis on this car. We are trying to set up a booth at Sema to display the chassis in. Eris has a really good lead on one right now.

Looking good guys. Keep up the good work. Rodger has to pay for that tubing bender somehow! I am subscribed!

Later

Thanks Chad! I'll post the photos as they become available.

once again another masterpiece in the works at IRONWORKS great work guys.

Rodger i was studying the pictures and was looking at pic #2 in post #6 and was wondering if the p/s rack will be removeable out the bottom or if the engine will have to be pulled to remove the rack? as a technician by trade I seem to notice stuff like that, If the rack will come out the bottom then that is a pretty sweet looking piece with the forethought of future servicing.

ps keep up the awe inspiring work.:hail:
