Since figuring out the door seperation locations in the design, with both ingress and egress in mind, needed to re-examine the roll cage or roof structure. This isn’t a full cage meant for racing, but it is meant to act as the start of a full…
Have been alternating between working on the chassis design, cleaning up the bodywork and getting it closer to production ready (still a lot of work to do), and the 5-axis machine design. I’ve re-designed the passenger seats to be a similar design to the driver…
Have been busy over the last few days working on a design for a B/C axis head for the 5 axis CNC machine that will produce all of the plugs for the bodywork and a few other parts. This design incorporates a belt driven dual…
Much progress since the last post on the site here, though there have been a few brief images posted to Instagram. A lot of work, re-work, and further re-work happening here. Have done a lot of re-jigging to get the loads and material in the…
Updates have been sparse to say the least. A lot of work, fine tuning, evolution of the design of both the body work and the chassis over the months, and plenty more work still to do. Everything is concurrently being designed for ease of manufacturing…
Decided to spend a little time cleaning up the side mirror shape. Looking to achieve a classic shape that will be easy to manufacture. Took some inspiration from the Pagani Huayra as well as the La Ferrari and 599XX cars. I love the extension that…
Some progress on the chassis and monocoque while on vacation. I have been working on the rear sub-frame and how the loads will be distributed into the chassis. So far I’ve been able to utilize extrusions that are easily sourced. This will help make…
Massive improvement from the last test. Almost entirely from adding the roof/cage structure. Less than a millimeter of deflection from a 35,000nm force on the front right corner. Still a couple issues with the simulation though, a couple places the panels haven’t bonded quite…
Working on the integrated roll cage. I plan on making this have an option to choose what material to use, depending on planned application. For cars which are planned on being used at the track, 0.90″ walled DOM steel will be offered, whereas by default…
So I’ve been toying around with a few ideas for the design of the main tub of the chassis. I am definitely set on the seating position, but the construction is still fairly open. I’ve been very curious about how well an aluminum tub made…
