CAD time

The CAD is almost done now, we have made a few styling changes due to issues like airflow over the radiator being too restricted etc..anyway here is a teaser for the full CAD model
All thats left to do is add the cockpit openings and a fin that covers the roll bar behind the drivers head.

Update time

It been a fair while since the last update but we've got a lot done this month. The chassis is finished and ready to start mounting the buck for casting, also the final CAD model is almost done. Once finished on the CAD we will be laser cutting a whole load of cross sections and then the foam shaping can commence! Power train for the final vehicle is in place, an 1800cc cross-flow running a pair of twin weber carburetors hooked up to 4 speed manual.


The donor car is a Westfield SE, the chassis is in good shape but the bodywork has taken a few knocks..we'll fix that up aswell. 


The car has now been stripped right down and we will be building the buck for molding right on top of it.

Hopefully we can get the cross sections of to the laser cutters within the next week, were going for a large number of cross sections as previous experience shows working with large scale symmetry is the most annoying thing in the world!
