Went and checked out Group A, B, C and N cars at Lakeside on the weekend. Was a great day! Click the GT2 for the full gallery.

I've moved the off road device from sketch to plan which is taking considerably longer than I expected. Most of the tube positions in the sketch would be very difficult to build, due to rotations in all three axes. The design below LOOKS very similar but its pretty much a rebuid, plus I've been adding in more components to see how they fit in.

Yup. It's got flames.

I mirrored the off road device design for the first time... looks like TOO much triangulation. Will have to work out how much the bare frame is going to weigh next. It *looks* safe.

I made this part for the left hand coolant channel on a GM SBC that has the heater return right under the left hand water pump flange. I'm using block adapters for an electric water pump so there was no off the shelf solution. Really happy with how this turned out - I think modelling the part and working from that model really helped.

Getting there.. not 100% on it.

I'm becoming happy with the front end - the frame that the wishbones mount on is now all square so that will solve that problem. Still experimenting wildly with the rear of the device.

It's a first for me. Stoked.

Lowered the CG and added some more frame triangulation. There's something wrong with the "body" line indicated, will fix it next. There are already some pretty compound angles building up over the chassis, after the sketch is done I'll have to do a pass to simplify this somewhat. Otherwise making the jigs up for the front suspension control arms will require more maths than I'm comfortable with.

Ok revised the design quite a bit... motor will mount to rear subframe, fuel tank, battery and radiator can be housed above.
