My sincerest apologies about the wait folks! Let me assure you, it was well worth it Here is the latest progress:
To help us pack more rubber Ivan and the team decided to make a wide body kit for the TA-X
Ivan reworking the factory fender
Tony welds in the fender extension part
and Shane works his magic to make it flow better
A rough rendition of the front fender
another angle! Kudos for Ivan, Shane and tony for the AWESOME work! Its their 1st attempt at body work!!!!
Justin fits in the collapsible steering column and the pedal box
looking good
Another angle of the column and the mounted driver's seat
Ivan begins work on the rear over fender
Matt welding in the strut mount supports
Engine bay - ready for the dummy engine
More cage work..
Matt welding away on the chassis
More progress on the cage work and chassis strengthening
Matt fills in unneeded openings in the firewall
AP Air jacks mounted to the cage/chassis
Little bit more progress on the cage work
Ivan and Justin having a little morning meeting, notice the fuel call mounted in the back of the car
Everything is coming along quite nicely! Cage is almost done!
A side shot of the cage and the driver seat position
Front strut mount support
Ivan mocking up the dashboard out of cardboard
a few hours later
Ivan prepping the dashboard panels ....
for the sweet alligator and ostrich cover!
Just daydreaming in the driver's seat!
Another angle of the dash in the car!
