Thread: Aluminum 550 Spyder build

  1. #41
    Ok, long day, working into the night, but we got it done. The car is now a rolling chassis and one piece.

    We did have one hiccup today, remember we had to make the spring plates, well, we made them a little too long, so we had to cut and re-weld those.

    Next stop, dropping it off at Geoff's house to do the mechanical, and I can get this car out of my brain for awhile and jump back on the 904. It's like having two mistresses!

    I always forget how small the 550 is, the Speedster seat looks huge, right?

    Well, as fate would have it I was going to bring the 550 chassis to a friend's place to get it operational, the same week the lockdown happened. Now getting to Jersey by going through NYC is a little scary, so it's on hold until they give the all clear. Once I get that out of the way I'm back on the 904.

    So now new updates, sorry.

    It is now, out of my hands and into the hands of Geoff. Luckily, Geoff has one of those brains that can think outside the box, he's gonna need it for some of the stuff on this chassis. Now back to the 904!
