Ha - with a name like Randy!? I would've been incessantly mocked growing up in the UK! I had an exclusively Mini/Lotus shop for years, and I lived overseas for several years with mostly Brits, so that's where that comes from. I have several English terms as part of my vernacular now (I say "straight away" all the time for example - meaning right away in American).
Here is a link to both versions still floating around from the Saturn days:
http://www.roadster-builders.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=674One of the things you'll notice when directly comparing the Voudoo to the Haynes book are that the tubes are a complete redesign, so you have to lean heavily on their plans (which as you noticed have some gaps here and there). I think their ideas are solid, and in most design areas better, but you are left to make your own measurements in some cases. The nice thing about a scratch build is that you can make it what you want! You can always take parts of the Voudoo, Saturn, Haynes, and McSorely and throw them all together to suit your needs!
Good luck!
Lol, yeah not too many Randy's on the other side of the pond. I'm still yet to order a coke on the first try, I think they think i'm trying to order cake... though I am in the south...
Wow, those Saturn plans are about a billion times more details than the Vodou plans, lots of questioned answered that I didn't know I had yet! I'll definitely be incorporating that, the back end looks more simple - I like simple. The great thing about these plans are they're METRIC!! Having grown up with the metric system, its definitely a shock to the system having to transfer to imperial units. Just come over to the dark side already
Thanks for the link
And Lonnie, thanks for the encouragement, i'll be needing all I can get - especially when I get to the wiring which i have next to no clues about (though i'm reading plenty about it but I'm more of a hands on guy for sure)
