Gibbo's Stockcar 13p blog: February 2007

Moved the flat chassis up the back to live

Moved the old car up the back yard after a struggle, see the pics below. May use her for measurements one day and make a similiar flatty but with higher sitting drivers seat and a center mounted big six for thumping power.

Begining to move

look at it turn and its hardly moving

Went off quicker than it went on

Ready to be a sheep itch scratcher

The first derby car I ever drive all going to plan

a full engine bay

Nearly a full engine bay

Its amazing how once you've got the egine in how everything just falls in around it with small adjustments of course...

More progress

Spent a few hours yesterday doing the engine mounts and will finish them today, I'll probably start putting the drive train back together and the brakes next then the bits that make it go and steer (got a mr2 pump under the house ready to mount on the to be made firewall ext)brake master will be mounted under the seat on the left. I put the corvette body on for a test fit and the bars are actually inside it but I'll still probably cover the rear ones right up to please the diss-ers, what is this 20 year rules crap by the way??? If the body goes over the cage who cares what it looks like? Your paying for it aren't you? and you have to put up with the coments good or bad, my aim is to get to krizo's league and make a nice shape alloy or sheet one eventually. Or at least learn how to make a fiberglass one that I like as there's been some bl--dy good idea's on macgors lately! Macgors NZ speedway

I'm off don't be afraid to comment as it doesn't come up till I look at it and approve it anyway... ;)Got any good links I should visit? send them to me and I may put them up here.
