 |
| Front half of the chassis coming together |
|
 |
| Looking up through the driver's area |
|
 |
| The very busy front bulkhead |
|
 |
| The engine arrives and finds it's place in space |
|
 |
| The car starts to grow around the 06 GSX-R |
|
 |
| More tubing |
|
 |
| Looking at the rear as it comes together |
|
 |
| All of the suspension points are now in place and the heavy fab work is done on #002 |
|
 |
| Just a shot from the front |
|
 |
| A really good sign, it comes off the table. |
|
 |
| A shot from the rear with it getting really close to being done. |
|
 |
| The header all fitted up |
|
 |
| A shot of the Pingel shifter |
|
 |
| A side view of the shifter |
|
 |
| One more view from the top of the shifter assembly |
|
 |
| The shifter was the last bit of fab work on the chassis, after a few days of normalizing welds it was time to paint |
|
 |
| A front shot of the main chassis, still in the booth |
|
 |
| A slightly fuzzy look from behind |
|
 |
| And a side view |
|
 |
| The rear chassis |
|
 |
| Still wet |
|
 |
| It comes back inside and the engine climbs in it's hole |
|
 |
| And the dry sump tank and diff |
|
 |
| Front shot with the floors and bulkhead in place |
|
 |
| Rack, fire system and front airjacks, it's coming together |
|
 |
| The front of the car starts to come together |
|
 |
| The front gets a little more complete |
|
 |
| The rear starting to look better |
|
 |
| A rear corner pretty complete, this car is getting outboard brakes, we're still working with the inboard unit on the mule. |
|
 |
| A pretty poor picture of the rear. |
|
 |
| The bodywork makes it's first appearance in the chassis shop |
|
 |
| This set, the second complete one we've pulled, is very nice. The weight has been cut nearly in half and the fit is very good. |
|
 |
| This set is all carbon, no fiberglass, just a touch of Kevlar in the wheel arches, it's light and stiff, like ummmm carbon should be. |
|
 |
| Here it is in it's final fitment, the body all in place looks really good. |
|
 |
| A really busy couple of weeks and #2 is holding itself up. It's waiting to be loaded in it's box for a trip down south. |
|
 |
| Notice the lower, smaller wing. |
|
 |
| Another look at the new wing. |
