Fixed?

Wow, okay ? well? At this point, my mom would interject with, ?That?s a deep subject.? Took me YEARS to get that one. (Don?t judge.) The dealership had my car for a week. The Service Manager (SM) got involved somehow, drove my car on Monday and said that it didn?t drift (come to find out he didn?t drive with the Technician) . The ASSistant Service Manager (ASM) called to tell me to come get my car and take it to a frame shop. I called  him bad names in my head and wondered how the car, technorati.com

Happy Anniversary!

It has been one year since the The California Air Resources Board Voted for me to build an electric car? Lets review. The big 3 auto industry was not helped by the decision as hoped. Tesla however is still on track in spite of the decision CARB made last year. We have voted out the money grubbing, war waging greed mongers. In desperation for an identity, Rush Limbaugh has become the voice of the Republican Party (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha). We have voted in a man with a vision, intelligence,, technorati.com

1966 Dart GT IRS Project Journal Part 2

1 Citation
Last week I wrote about how I picked a donor car for my independent rear suspension (IRS) project. I scored an IRS out of a 1993 Thunderbird Supercoupe, which included an 8.8 differential and disc brakes. This rear end is strong and has plenty of after-market support. So this week I?m going to talk about how I built my subframe. Continue reading? Before I get into the meat of this post, I?d like to talk briefly about fear. I?m a perfectionist and if I?m going to do something, I want it to, technorati.com

 

Prepare to move

1 Citation
Today we (the four guys in the photo and me) moved the body to the chassis in preparation for the move to Stockton where the sub frame will be fitted. The body is temporarily being held on with two bolts. I also temporarily connected the steering wheel linkage to assist when we load the vehicle onto the trailer tomorrow. The car is being taken to Stockton where Greg and I will attach the sub frame. The body is necessary to insure a proper fit. I will probably leave it there for a few weeks whi, technorati.com

 

Stockton Fitting

1 Citation
I drove up to Stockton today and we (Greg & I ) attached the sub frame to the frame. Greg modified the original design by using saddles and bolts to hold the frame to the chassis in the front instead of u-bolts, and u-bolts on the rear of the sub frame/chassis assembly. In these photos we were checking the fit, The sub frame is being held up by two jacks, while we check the location of the rear brackets which will have the u-bolts. In the following photos you can see the brackets were mo, technorati.com

 

Photo Op day

I have been spending most of my time in the learning curve. The fiber glass and body work learning curve. It was such a nice sunny day though, I decided to wheel the chassis out of the garage so that you can see the progress. These pics were taken by a professional videographer who happened to drop by. That?s me in the photos. Oh and yes, you noticed correctly, the front brake lines are missing in this photo. I have decided to replace them with the stainless steel woven ones.
