We do a lot of stuff for Rottler Manufacturing (cnc machines), but one of the guys does a lot of hand rails, stairways, so he uses a lot of the old brakes, tube benders to make some bad ass stuff

Damn its been a while. Hard to find time over this past year or so. Plus material is wicked expensive right now. But was able to pick up 3 sticks of 1 5/8 so i can start the main rails, and floor.
Found a few mins this weekend to do a little more prep work to the cab.
That floor is heavy. Probably 50ish lbs.
Damn. Thats a hell of a project.
Full tube chassis will be interesting. Subscribed
Project Maverick. I feel the need, the need for speed
Gdaaam ! Gonna be a helluva build, and yes the price of material is and will continue to sky rocket, ships sitting at harbors unable to unload for a year, not enough drivers to move the spools
So i mocked up a spare block to see what i would need to cut out of the firewall. After marking it out and looking at it. These firewalls are so asymmetric that it would have been more work (or my ocd would have been in overload) to make a midplate work. So i decided to cut it all out. Then I might as well set the motor back for better weight distribution. Im keeping the CCL and CG up and back bc ill probably run big tire back track type races.
Looking like ill need to notch the cowl and windshield next.
Little bit of a set back.
Think that trans will last ?
Thank God for drivceshaft loops lol
The thing is, the engines don’t sit dead center on these things
Dang, that's some patience and skill.
patience skill and......dedication....
