Hi All, I would like to post some pics of my racecar and chassis jig.

I will do a more detailed write up of these at a later date but for now I just want to see if I can post the photos.

Hi DIYer, my closest experience so far has also been in karts, but I've always wanted to build an openwheeler. I used to hillclimb my road car years ago before I got into karts and one thing that's stuck in my mind, was something an old guy told me at a hillclimb one day. "road cars, built for racing are always a compromise, racing cars are built with one purpose in mind, to go fast around a circuit" That comment has always stuck with me and from then on I have wanted to build one. That was about 20yrs ago and I am only now getting around to the build process. Sometimes life gets in the way! Oh and yes I did build the jig, I will do a detailed write up soon.

".. open wheel car with body panels…" = as good a description of the car as I've heard. It's essentially an homage to the late '80s & early '90s Le Mans Group C cars. The wishbone/upright arrangement is very reminiscent of an open-wheel setup.
I've got a 700+ HP LS7 sitting on a pallet, waiting its chance to start making noise…

It ought to be fairly quick… The factory numbers:
A big project like this is really just a series of smaller tasks that eventually get assembled into something larger. The airplane I built was far more complex.
Living, as I do, <90 miles from the Kennedy Space Center, I'm already scheming for a way to get the Ultima out on the old SLF (Shuttle Landing Facility) runway…
