Howto build an AI car (again)

[CaptainHenreh]

Yours was always the best looking car out there

:!: He didnt even have gold wheels! :lol:

Yes.

You're right.

He didn't.

Made a little more progress today,

Had to weld a strip on this end so the metal could overlap, originally I thought I was going to do a butt weld on it but after looking at the other car it's a lap joint w/ spot welds, oh well, just took an hour or so.



Fit is near perfect on both sides,



Using the straps to pull it up nice and tight, once I have it where I want it I will tack the bottom and top of both ends then get to work.


Have to pull it back apart one more time and insert this into the frame rail,



Just some scrap metal I welded into a box shape, this will sit inside the frame rail and allow me to not only do a butt weld but also a lap joint w/ spot welds, frame should be plenty strong. I will pull everything apart one more time, remove all the green/white paint from the welding areas then spray everything down with weld though primer where I won't be able to get paint at once the welding is complete.

W00T! Looking good!

[Maengelito]

chad, you got 6 days to weld, paint, reassemble, rewire and shakedown the car and make it out to VIR. or just slap some tires on it and drag it behind the expedition

[white_2kgt]

Well, to close this project out, it headed out this AM on it's way to Ohio to be complete by a fellow CMC racer. Hated to see it go but had to make room for other things...

[WRXtranceformed]

Cool, what else do you have in the pipeline Chad?

[Feersty]

I am sure you are happy to free up some space.

Something a little older, slower and smaller, more details after thanksgiving when I pick it up.

[Evan]

GT Pinto!

[Dave]

I am very sad to see this go, but really excited to see what you have in store for us... Can you give us a teaser or something?

Going to get back into racing, or just trackdays?

Would be funny if Chad bought a miata :lol:

[HAULN-SS]

"DON'T TASE ME BRO!!!!@~"

[Andy]

Wait. No more mustang? or your buddy is finishing up the work for you? Chad without Mustang-WTF?

[Maengelito]

Chad without Mustang-WTF?

redneck riviera man... he's probably getting a new mustang or ford gt or something much more baller but still with a ford logo on it

[white_2kgt]

I have an 02 GT mustang still.

The 'new' project won't really be all that exciting to most of you, but is to me . I'm out of racing for a while but will probably do a few track days here and there.
