          I want to know the curb weight of that thing when you're finished
          I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

            Just mild steel for now. I need to hurry up and finish this thing. I can redo the exhaust in a lighter material at a later date. There are quite a few things I can do to continually lighten the car, but right now the main focus is to actually make it move under it's own power. I'm really tired of pushing it around.

                I'm having a few issues getting the Megasquirt to work properly. Everything else is mechanically ready to go. I need to buy the front rims and a new set of tires, but getting the motor working and tuned is the top priority.

                    It's actually pretty simple. I'll try and go in to more detail for you when I can get some better pictures.

                      The car is now mechanically finished! I've made all the necessary modifications to get this thing going aside from finishing electrical system. I had the exhaust welded up a few days ago. It's been raining for the last 2 days so I spent some time drilling holes and modifying the battery tray for the smaller battery. The seat assemblies are still a few lbs over the rule limit, but not enough to stress over it now. I swapped out the front 8" springs for 6" springs and saved almost 2 lbs per side.

                      Here is the finished exhaust...

                          I like the metal you used for the tie down.

                          Where did you acquire that. It looks much better than the drilled flat bar Im currently using.

                            Looks like you could shave some weight from that battery tray

                              Not yet. The jumper harness for the ECU should be back from Atlanta some time this weekend.

                              I'll be shaving some weight off of it in the near future. It got a little late and I needed to get home and feed the dog so I stopped where I was.


                              The new 15X10 front wheels are on order as well. Doesn't look like I'll see them until next week at the earliest though.
