Welcome, CheapT. Please send $1000 in small unmarked bills for your initiation fee. Or you can crawl naked thru burning gasoline and broken glass. Your choice and enjoy!Nope, still no upload button yet.... I feel like Yosemite Sam when bugs bunny says draw and and he keeps erasing because he goofing up.
Remember, go easy on me...this is my first one.
Just saw the John Morehead article and video of your car. Very Nice! I have to ask, did you design it around the potvin supercharger?Put them in a Mason jar and bury it in the Tbucketeer cemetery by the tombstone inscribed "Oklahoma was marginally better."
Since I can't post pictures yet I decided to cheat. Here you go. That's it so far....Starting a new thread hoping to show some pictures very soon. I've taken pictures from the start. See guys, I did learn something from you all. The importance of having pictures for the reader.
Yes, that and the Halibrand QC IRS. Built the frame from scratch to fit those pieces plus the stretch CCR body, and the rest was just kinda thrown together...Just saw the John Morehead article and video of your car. Very Nice! I have to ask, did you design it around the potvin supercharger?
Thank you DonnyRay. I think I have the picture thing figured out. I've been looking through you project. Only about 1/4 way through it. looking nice.Welcome CheapT to our wonderful forum. I'm looking forward to some photos.
I have a 12" 70's style 3 spoke chrome spoke wheel. The little wheel probably won't be the greatest with a manual rack though.
Thanks! At least I'm going down the right track. What size tires would you recommend? Originally I wanted skinny with spokes like ET gasser type. Then I read about potential handling issues while turning. Maybe something wider than a 4 1/2" wide rim...I'm using a 13" wheel on mine, and since these little cars are so light steering is very easy. In parking lots, I just let it roll slightly before making sharp turns. Works for me!

Thanks! I could use the help! My plan is to do as your setup is. U joint at the rack, supports on the D shaft and 1 more u joint at the column. I'm at a point where I'm starting to "shoot at the shadows" and guess as I go. I haven't found very many articles on the amount of forces that are exerted on the rack while steering and driving. I currently have it mocked up with some 3/16" stock. I'm not certain if that would be sufficient.CheapT, I have R&P on my bucket. U-joint at R&P, then shaft support, then long shaft to another shaft support and double U to steering column. Lemme know if I can help with your setup. I have lots of pics.
