one of my favorites too... I'm sure things will work out for you....

Or, take some time off, put the AMEX card to work, finish your "Porschette," THEN find a job. I know my wife would love that idea if I was in your situation

the car name is on the house if you decide to use it

I dont know how it works over there but when it happened to me I started working on finding a new job and found a new job after a few weeks, then we agreed that I was to start after three months (to have some garage time.)

Now that you mention it, I have been talking to Jim about his project, and I am in the process of taking his sketches and producing SolidWorks files so he can have brackets cut on a water-jet machine.

Stay tuned....... Jim should chime in soon!!

I'm glad he is working on it again. I was lucky enough to hang out with him at the Goodguys Columbus Show this year (and last year). He even joined Rodger (Ironworks) and I for a visit to Rad Rides!

Thanks for the continued interest in the project everyone !

Not much action to report. Most of the work I'm doing right now is design stuff. Little work on the actual car to report that's worth anything. Mostly just designing out stuff in my head like the rest of you.

Eric is doing the chassis brackets for me in solidworks and I've been working with Chad to design out the fuel system. Built the body to chassis mounts that weld into the sill plate panel and are hidden by the sill rubber - just not welded to the car yet. Chem stripped the hood and trunk panels here at home - then had them media blasted so I can start my fiberglass molds. I plan to make a temp widened Fglass hood - then make another mold and do the final one in CF that I have here at the house in the freezer. Redesigned the shifter from a rod to a porsche 997 cable actuated setup so I can move the stock shifter assy to the middle of the car (stock is left) and sink it down between the chassis tubes.

Just lots of design drawings and excel spreadsheets to get costs. Still don't have a job... Hoping the first quarter thaw brings some employers back out.

Jim

Jim, Once you get things rolling again may I suggest you move this to the ongoing project section. I seem to follow those more often.
