It might look pretty, but I don't like the look of that LCA. The change of section with the Heim joints screwed into the fancy CNC arm looks like a nono. Also is that a welded aluminium tub not bonded and/or rivited? Ugh, no thanks

I used to have a whole folder of this stuff I'd use for ideas when I tried scratch-designing my own car, from the age of about 17 to 20...

Thunder Roadster

Oh, belongs to this...

Honda RC-51

These folks make replica maserati 300-450s from scratch down in Argentina (they use QIIIs as drivetrain donors.

Is it just me, or does everyone else wish metal would just stay that color and finish and not rust or oxidize at all? I mean not for just rusty car sake, but truely custom stuff like that, the bare metal looks sooooo good.

Yeah. Um...

Is this a joke in answer to all those racecar engineering observations about having to have places to put the driver and engine totally fouling up the structure?

EDIT: Aha! I think I start to see it... Is it a trophy truck facing to the right?

I loves me some really good TIG work.

You could always throw some clearcoat over the bare metal.

If that would translate into a magazine quote it should be quote of the month. Weld done that man.
