Rhys Millen's Pikes Peak Car Buildout
I missed the build thread on this one! I think he stole my design personally

Notice the little holes in all the tubes, trying to work out why they are there? I, dont think it could have been for sheet metal, maybe for venting
whilst welding, but there seem too many of them for that.

Remember that American cars still use live axles so they might have had a limited choice of IRS diffs

What's American cars to do with anything?...isn't he from New Zealand?
Anyway, my observation.....it's usual to see these high end, money no object builds done to flawless levels of workmanship......I didn't
see it here at all...it look very "back street" as it were.....
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice project and all that just rougher than I expected...
Just my opinion...

That's what I was thinking. Mclaren they are not, but a nice car all the same.

There's probably no money in the build etc. ie, there's probably no money until the car is proven fast...
As for the holes - they are there for the interior and exterior pannelling.
