Per Mark BEX ....
More of the same.
On and off the car, making adjustments and starting to make all the bracing for the nose to become a pattern. It will need a lot of bracing.

I don't recall him giving any numbers .... I do know he's trying to keep the weight as low as possible while maintaining the vehicle's balance .... at the same time doing so without sacrificing structural integritymarkiver54 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:45 amIf Mark mentioned it, then I missed it.

The internal bracing is done, removed from the skyhook, and allows me to start working on the outside of the panels.

The Covid has hit pretty hard, have slept about 18 hours a day for the last 3 days.
Wife was a bit cocky and saying she was stronger than me, and has been looking after me the last few days, well today she went back to bed at lunchtime and woke up at 7pm with her dinner and drinks all ready for her

Re: Elio Type Vehicle Resurection --- AKA the BEX
Per Mark BEX
A day back at work today, as I seem to be almost fully recovered from Covid ..
Main thing today was to put the front suspension back in, wheels on and take accurate track width measurements, then I made a dummy axle (a piece of tube) to hold the wheels the same distance apart. A bit like a trailer axle and wheels if you like.
This is to slip under the front nose body work, to position the wheels in order to make wheel covers and finish the nose.
I might have taken a picture had I had my phone with me ....

Toying with designs and measurements, not a quick process.
Notice the dust after being home for a week+ with Covid ..
