Write Code to Metal or... Real Artists Ship

Control arms are completed and installed. Big thanks for Flex-Form for pulling through on the spring and Scott at Laeger Racing for pulling though on all the steering bits The spring won't get final assembly until the uprights are done and we can get on the wheels for a ride-height check. Thanks to the guys at Soupy's we have plenty of ride height adjustment in the back. In the front we can go 60mm or so.




Joey Trussel at Southern Machining has been saving my life this week, writing DXF code to metal. This is a rough mill on the two uprights, still a lot of detail work to go but you can get the idea of the shape for the big radial brakes and the highly adjustable steering geometry. We will run a quick parametric steering test on a skidpad next weekend and dial it in. Steering flag height will also be adjustable.
 Trunkfull of bits, but still looking for a few more. We should be on the wheels and running this weekend. Real artists ship.
