Week 10: The Rest of the Support

The only thing left on the chassis of the car is a couple support beams that connect everything together. Then its on the the a arms and putting everything together. so what I did this week was make all the connections that weren't already made and the last support tube going across the back where the radiator is going to sit. I don't have any pictures of this because i forgot the camera. but ill put some up as soon as I can. I'm getting closer to finishing the body and its really cool being able to see how everything is coming together and imagining driving the car. One other important part of the car that i wanted to talk about is the drive line in the back. There was an option to have a independent rear end or a solid. Solid means that the rear end has one solid shaft going across and both wheels move together when you go over a bump or off a jump. Independent means that there are two half shafts on ether side of a Central hub and they both move freely when going over bumps, witch creates a smother ride. So we went with the independent, that's why I as i explained in week 8's blog that we had bought two Porsche half shafts for the rear end.
