Sorry bout the light in these ones but here's some pics of the brackets I made to go around the horns of the floor pan and the bracing back to the
torsion tube. We will take the body off again now and flip the frame over to weld it all with the tig!

If the car runs 10's then MPH will be something over 120mph depending on launch. My guess is if you make the HP you want to then 135+ mph isnt out of
the question at all.

Yeah I can go up to 140 MPH with the 4 wheel brakes I have, however We are incorporating a parachute into the design right now. Oh and this will be
the first 10 sec I have owned.

Well probably not this year, I may be bringing it out for a bit of a shake down before I paint it but we'll see. I would like it to run into the 6's
straight away at Warwick but that's if everything is right and nothing falls off

The fabled Pigman!!!!! Half Pig, Half Man. I thought everyone had heard this story!!!!
Works only at night while eating food scraps.
It is said all the cars he has built are lost in the mudpit in his shed/pen

Man you guy's are tripping, Pigman is a mate of mine who does a bit
of fab work from home but is really just starting out so will basically be showcasing a lot of his skills on my car.
Had a good day today, mounted my staging brake and pulled it apart to be welded up at Pigman's tomorrow. Dad and I also made a windscreen frame to
sit inside my front hoop which will also be welded in. We even made a template out of plywood which I will go and have cut out of Lexan on Monday. All
systems go!!!
Cheers Dave!
