Getting work done! In this episode I finally finish off the radiator ducting to the flat floor. More work than I thought for sure.

So it’s been a while since I updated everyone here again. First up, here is a great rundown video showing exactly what I’m building and why.

And then I had to build everything for the steering rack to sit where I could fit it, unfortunately that meant on the wrong side...

And finally, I got to making the driveshaft again. Lots of research on this part, decided to go with high speed cv’s on both ends due to the extreme rpm and compounding angles (although very slight)

And now I managed to mount the rear transaxle, build the rear control arms, and get all the suspension assembled and in place! Starting to look bad ass!

Well, after building the rear suspension I went on to pedals. I wasn’t able to build them entirely, just get a good start on them until my master cylinders come in.

After pedals were built I revisited my steering setup. I was concerned with the angle between the tie rod and the steering rack when looking at the outside tire. The angle would have likely bent something so I decided to move it as far as I could towards the rear. While apart I also made new sprocket adapters to run double chains, and a tensioner to keep everything taught. This also required me to make new brackets on the uprights to reposition that mount, so I made them with adjustable height as well. That way I can get the bump steer perfect.
