Thanks! Neither can I...

Both, but primarily track/road. Road America is about an hour away and I attend the open track days quite often, so this is where it'll be broken in most. That and the highways of Wisconsin/Chicago/Mnpls.

I really like watching what is going on in here. BUT! Can somebody please explain to me the welding of pipes. Exactly the part where the end is covered with foil or tape or some cap with a fitting and a hose.

I think that was for leak testing.

I believe it is for holding the purging gasses in while welding.

Correct... when purging with argon all opens ends are capped or sealed off. The argon enters the workpiece through the green hose you see in most photos.

My god, this is one of the coolest builds I've ever had the pleasure of reading/watching come together. You are quite a skilled guy!



I can't wait to see where you go next

A little bit of scribbling... frame revisions and suspension layout brainZtorming.

True to form, I always start out with some elaborate design which is more often than not overly complicated or nearly impossible to actually manufacture... or just not cost effective. So, after I beat myself up about how to go about cutting/bending/welding whatever it might be, or how I'll have to tweak or change other things to deal with the possible fit-up issue... or again, whatever the case might be... I'll get my head out of my *ss and simply change it, and the result is always possitive. You think I'd learn!

Incredible. Love everything here so far, you've recharged my motivation for finishing school and getting a job where I can afford to do what I want with cars instead of what I can afford.
