Re: Time Attack/Circuit Racer Mitsubishi Evo V
I spent a lot of time today working on the rear end and started the roll cage. I'm approaching a bump in the road as I haven't figured out how I want to do the front suspension yet. (I suppose its time to look up some racecar reference!) The rear end is almost complete. I still need to build the wheel wells and add a few more tubes. The cabin area is just being started.
Somebody had asked how I jig my parts up. Most stuff is held in place by fit, some of it is held by reverse action tweezers. This is a more complex jig setup to hold the control arm bulkheads. I used a 1/32" drill bit (solder doesn't stick to tool steel, drill bits are cheap, and I had one laying around) through both bulkheads to insure they were lined up correctly, then the tweezers are holding the bulkhead in place ready to be soldered. More pics of where the project currently stands. The body fits the chassis like a glove. Couldn't ask for a better fit. Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!

Re: Time Attack/Circuit Racer Mitsubishi Evo V
Excellent Mike, excellent...
Did you start from a drawing for the tubes layout, or are you assembling them directly onto the car? R |

Re: Time Attack/Circuit Racer Mitsubishi Evo V
Thanks Robi! Surprisingly this is the first model I haven't thought out and drawn out ahead of time. I'm actually just coming up with it as I go and fitting it to the body. However, I do occasionally use styrene rod to bend templates, such as for the front downtubes.

Re: Time Attack/Circuit Racer Mitsubishi Evo V
Holy mother....! How did I miss this?
I don't know what's more astonishing, the fact that Mike's building something, or how fantastic this is going to be! Stellar work so far on the tube frame. What an amazing car this will be!
