You have quite a talent there. I cant believe you are building it so fast. Did you already have the panels ready or just made them??
Looking really good. Im enjoying watching this car unfold.

Looks like an atom nose section - prob a bargain buy as it looks like a small amount of damage on the corner.

Guys it was a bargain buy as it does have a small amount of damage.
The good news is that I am also hopefully doing a deal about a carbon fibre one made from the damaged one.
My progress does look quick, but I have been buying bits for months and doing some of the drawings.
This time around, I have also had most of the brackets etc, cnc'ed and all of the bushes turned for me etc. The uprights were designed by me,
based on photos of the atom.
Things are a bit slow because I am waiting for some more bushes etc.
Tomorrow I am going to form the curved side rails in conduit and then take them to a local company who will use them as a pattern for some rolled in
1 1/2" round tube 16 gauge.
I hope to have it rolling within a month, but you know how best made plans go!
I was very fortunate with the nose as the front subframe was measured from photos and I was going to make my own nosecone. The one I aquired, fits
spot on!
It will also give me a guide to the radius of the side rails.

I managed to get the side rail conduit mocked up today. They are ready in my tintop for taking to the rollers tomorrow

I spy a worx carbon aeroscreen as well. That will look very nice indeed.
Side rails must have took some head scratching???

Yes, the Mac1 screen will fit.
Surprisingly, the conduit took about half an hour. I am an electrician and I have used a conduit bender for about 27 years though!
