The chassis work is top notch

 

Wish I had the space to do something like this

 

 

Quit messing around with that silly chassis and lets see some more engine progress!

 

Congrats on your two year thread anniversary.
This thread has been going for a long time but still is very interesting

Keep up the good work

 

2yrs huh. feels like 5 months. I started my build before you. Although your not building, your producing "1" . Theres not many people that understand what it takes to actually build a automobile. You always hear "is your car going to be done this summer"...."no"......"wtf are you waiting on? Should be done by now. If it was mine it would be done". And they dont have a single clue. Congrats on the Project and keep struting it. Looking forward to the finished product in the next 2yrs!

 

Hows the new chassis going?

 

 

Oe nice, but did you do a force calculation on the parts?

 

Simply, no...

 

Ok then, I think there will be some stress points on the suspension. But nevermind it looks great.

 

There will be much more pipes in the engine-bay later. The rollcage will continue in there, and there will be wheelhouse, crosses and yeah... Just not so easy to CAD in at the moment, easier to build in place

 

That's true. Keep us up2date

 

Improved some design to get it stronger...


Putted on the hood to see how much space it is under there.
Did also put the wheel in rideheight so you can se how high it would be.
Sadly it not high enough for the DTM-wheelhouse's

 

Whohaa, how do you make those parts, on the (cnc)mill?

 

Which ones?

 

The plates of the suspension and the wheel hub holder.

 

Are you milling your own housings?

 

Haha, could you point them out?

No, thats not the plan anyway. To much work/cost to do.

 

What kind of steel and thicknesses are you using for those uprights? I've become a big fan of the boxed sheet metal uprights after seeing how hard it is to get people to cut and machine just a couple of uprights out of aluminum without waiting months and months.

And don't listen to the other guys only wanting engine pics, that chassis is dead sexy so keep posting plenty of pics

 

You asked for it

 

Its regular steel with 5mm thickness at the spindle. Then I milled the plate for the bearing and hub before welding it all together.
The weight-save in aluminium isn't that much if you want the same strenght.

I'm probably stupid, but if I understand you correctly, I made ​​everything in the front itself apart from the wheel bearing and brake disc. The disc-hub I machined though.
Most of it is welded. Just the mount to the wheel bearing is machined to fit prior to welding.
I'm not good at English, so sometimes I do not understand your questions
But I will gladly answer as best I can

 

I desided to do a recall.
If you have seen this before, just ignore it

This is some pictures of the front suspension in progress.
