progress update

The roof skin is finally on and the exterior body restore is almost done.



You can see the full step by step pics here with the commentary

The Body Rebuild

Now we can start on the custom work This is where it gets interesting. The rear end and front uprights are on their way from the US, and the boys are itching to start work on the custom chassis.

But thats not all folks!

unfortunately victor also had to pull out of the design team but the good news is, Mike Gillett our original designer is back with his pens blazing!

These are almost final sketches pending any changes needed due to actual build constraints. The rear lights are still work in progress

The front grill and hood vents will be open and closeable at the touch of a button.




The rear diffuser is a double decker design. The top slot will be vented to the under side of the car, and will also be blown with hot gases from the exhaust. The feed slot and exhaust bypass will be motor controlled so I can shut them and reduce downforce when not needed. ie cruising. Most of the aero features on this car will be deactivateable to reduce drag under light duty. With an 800bhp V8 and current fuel prices, I need all the efficiency help I can get



You can see the full journey of how we got to these sketches here
Concept Drawings

Thats all folks until next time

The Pity train is frowned on Holmes and since its not the first time we've all heard it that doesn't help. Do yourself a favor, take in the consideration the anount of views and maybe that will make you feel better!


Btw Nice build. The sketch looks great!

I like the renderings alot, let's see yours guys start fabbing it in real life and then I think you will get a pretty good response

All told, if your build comes close to the renderings, it going to be one sick car! Good luck with the project, I will be looking and posting replays, LOL

Start the top notch fabbing Amit and this thread will take off. We love pics here. That's why I asked were you serious if we wanted to see updates. I said it in a joking manner though. Keep up the good work. Everytime I see your thread come to the top, I myself take a look and follow your build.
