Hey Chris.
I only just saw your post from over 6 months ago 🙅
Gear ratios are:
Tyres will be 195/50/15s (eventually) so Tyre 22.68"
1.09 for 4th =7000@105mph(120mph @8000)
1.44 for third =7000@79.7mph
2.0588 is stock second=55.6mph@7000
3.80 is stock first=30,2mph @ 7000
Here is a pic of the flywheel that has gone on a diet at Dave Butlers
Nice work
Work has been all consuming this year so no major progress 😢
On the positive side, work forced an extension of the shed so I made it a worthwhile extension.
When I save some coin there will be room and foundations for a hoist.

Nice shed Marcus, i see a tv but no fridge? Flywheel looks insane.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

The fridge is there but empty at the minute Damo
Thanks for the link Sander
The foundations are already in there when I did the slab.
Overkill from the engineer. They are 700mm deep pads.

700mm; epic!
Love the car; didn't want to look into historic spec for the car?? seeing it is an oval. Could be pretty competitive in it's class for pre '58 cars 👍
Mine is slowly 😬 moving towards Historic Nb spec
money/time is towards getting a garage/carport thing for my backyard done; won't be as grand though, I've only got a 405m2 to play with

I did think about the historic option, but it would not be quick enough for my speed thrills with a 36er in it.
Slowly is all I can manage. I am not setting any more deadlines as they are all crap anyhow. I finish it when I get there.

Hey Vassy,
Looks like it's coming along well. As for Colours mine was Polar Silver L324. A 56 colour but very sexy indeed. You should look into it if you want a grey/ silver.
Do you have a proper 54 Tank for it or are you using a later oval model to save weight?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Hi guys!!
Thanks for the g'day
I do love the polar silver 😉
I am just about to begin again and now even have a car hoist to help make it easier for this old man.
It has been a crazy year work-wise and have spent most of my energy just trying to make it to the other side. (bought out a business partner and went it alone early last year: n the middle of our biggest project yet🙄)
I am getting some assistance in putting the body on the pan then it is seat mount fitted and the cage welding can be completely finished.
The pedal set (custom made) was a painful idea I should have left alone but I am too far down the track now so will persist to finish it.
I have a vague hope of getting it to Valla but if I do it will be in Ipswich Grey (primer) 😂
