Man, it is really cool when something different comes out in this sport.

Way to raise the bar.

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 09:59 AM

I had someone asking me the other day how to hold something down in a fixture. This might help. Check it out.

jtaco1 · 11-21-2008, 10:09 AM

Very nice, look forward to seeing what you guys come up with, always cutting edge.

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 10:43 AM

OK... seems Camo really wanted to know why we used a LS1 since I put that in earlier. I changed the post. I will say this. The block started out as a LS2 block. Turn Key has made some changes to the motor. We are not going to tell what. Lets just say it should scream.

Fire???? Down here??? My firefighting days are over... This place don't burn at all. Bella's doing awesome, popping teeth now. Anyway, back to the buggy (I refuse to call them cars), interested to see how this is going to go...

And you do smell a little.

Sweetness Dan, you do good work!

rajincajingt · 11-21-2008, 12:00 PM

holy shit dan,

i cannot wait to see how this thing works out!!!

pimp work as always...

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 12:28 PM

This pics shows how far back the engine will sit. The tube going over the engine is the dash bar.

DoveTail96 · 11-21-2008, 12:54 PM

AMAZING work Dan. Can't wait to see it at KOH.. A beautiful car for a beautiful driver.. Might be queen of the Hammers this year>..

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 01:18 PM

We made these stands to hold the axles on the jig table. They turned out to be real handle on the fab table to position them while welding the link mounts to the housing. They are simple to make. If you need a set let me know and we can make them for you. I can make them to your spec also. The ones pictured are for 3.5" axle tubes and are 6 inches from the table to the bottom of the axle tube.

Fixed it for ya, hun! But this year, there's a $500 purse for the first woman to finish... dang, I wish that was retroactive!

Mossyrocks · 11-21-2008, 01:30 PM

Subscribed for sure... Great work so far Dan... looks incredible.

frontier2k1 · 11-21-2008, 01:34 PM

Looks like a cool project. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress!

Go2Guy · 11-21-2008, 02:03 PM

Looks awesome.... I wanna drive

The car I mean

CORNFED · 11-21-2008, 02:06 PM

So do you plan on selling this as a shippable u-weld kit? Say just the plate for the framerails and leave the rest up to the builder?

bigun · 11-21-2008, 02:12 PM

Wow!! No wonder most of my subscribed threads are from BTF

I have not considered it or really even thought about it. Never know we might decide to do something similar to it.
