Modified roadster construction

Mike,

Roadster looks great!

PS - I owe you an apology. I gave you a short answer to your question about the Honda F1 car using TC. The truth is I didn't ask but, I think it was turned off from the sound of driver's pedaling.

What's original on this roadster    - this is just a little bit more than "modified"
Nice clean work, very solide base frame.
Keep us update.

Some more of the belly pan & chassis etc.
Gary's been doing most of the fab work, I just kind of get in the way as I learn how to do things other than engines  :lol:
It truly has been a learning experience building a land speed car from scratch, lots of work but you all know that!
Later I'll try to post pictures of the water, fuel, & dry sump tanks, along with the steering & other details.

UPDATE!!
Trying to show some progress.

I think Jon will be moving pictures that were already posted to this new site soon (at least I hope so)!

Thanks for sharing this Mike.  I had not seen the photos when you first posted and love to see a well thought out machine.
Nice work for a motor head......

Mike,
   Is that a clutchless air shifted Jerico? Does it pop out of gear when you let off the throttle like the Pro Stock transmissions do? Just curious.
Thanks,
Tom G.

Mike

Did you make the seat, or is commercially available?

Tom this unit does not overrun when you "pedal" the throtle. It has the same type of dog rings as the 4 speed we used in the #265 Firebird and does not fall out of gear.

John the seat is a standard unit made by kirkey and cost about $150. It was a little to tall for our cage so we cut it down about 6".

Thanks for asking.
