home brew quarter sprint
Re: home brew quarter sprint
Ya, I'm so excited...can't wait to get it finished & get to work on the build!
Re: home brew quarter sprint
Little more shop development.
Boxed in around the mill to help with chip containment.
I broke down all of my benches & shelves when I moved & I've still got some odd sized pieces for stuff like this.
I build with screws rather than nails, so it all came apart very cleanly & easily.
Plus, the light colored sides help with light saturation on the work area.
My collection of tooling is growing slowly but constantly.

A little update on what's happening here.
I'm actively shopping for the right engine at the right price for this thing.
The plan is for independent suspension front & rear. Set up to run on asphalt & to turn both right & left.
Been reviewing this book which I've owned for 20 yrs, at least. Carroll Smith prepared cars have won LeMans & the manufacturers world championship, piloted by notable drivers such as Andretti, Foyt, Gurney & others.
The principles contained therein apply just as well in scale as in 1:1.
Also found this physics forum which has this large thread on the science & engineering of race suspensions.

Got the last of my benchwork built. Still have shelves to build but not until I've got good insulation in the walls.
Here's a vid of the current shop configuration.

You have a nice workshop, you'll have years and years of enjoyment in there.
