Having only a few more bits to weld, I thought you might some more pics!
In the photos you can see all of the tags with 6mm rivnuts for fixing the panels and floor tub.

I'll be happy when I am driving it!

Car builders porn

Can I ask why you went for tags with rivnuts in rather than just drilled and tapped tags for the panels etc?

Thinner, lighter.............

Just out of curiosity, how similar is it to an actual atom chassis?

A fair bit!

Not an exact copy though. Rear end is a bike cradle, air suspension means different shock mounts, Atom nose cone fits my chassis, aero wishbones, different rollbar..............

Are the tubes the same diameter as the atoms? It's coming along nicely, can't wait to see it finished .

Looks fantastic

No mine are 38mm, the atom is 50mm.
I don't have a 175kg engine and gearbox to carry!

love it!


Confused but excited. - 15/3/08 at 05:30 PM

The more I see, the more impressive it becomes.

That looks great. that will look good on the road.

Love watching your progress, looks the dogs


COREdevelopments - 15/3/08 at 07:52 PM

oh its looking good!! i really like reading your updates as well as cloudy and his r4 build they both look awesome. its looking like a real strong chassis now!
keep up the brilliant work

Rob

Looking awesome! Are you planning on making more than one chassis?????


COREdevelopments - 15/3/08 at 08:14 PM

I don't think so, they are too complicated for a homebuilder to make cheaply. I would need to invest in rolling and cnc machines to stand a chance.

Just a couple more pics of the fuel filler.
The slots infront of it are for the NACA ducts for the air intakes.

Aren't you a home builder

Seriously though thats an absolutely stunning chassis

How long have you been building/designing it for?


nitram38 - 15/3/08 at 10:34 PM

What I meant was too much for a homebuilder to mass produce.
Car was in the planning for a year (in my head and collecting parts).
Chassis build has been about 6-7 months, obviously not continuosly.
Once the chassis is finished/painted it should come together reasonably quickly.


Mole - 16/3/08 at 12:15 AM

He actually said to make cheaply . Awesome build can't wait to see it finished.


Fred W B - 16/3/08 at 05:46 PM

Looks excellent Nitram

Cheers

I was being cheeky really as that looks very complicated.

You don't hang around thats a shorter build time than I expected, you've must of climbed a few mountains


nitram38 - 16/3/08 at 09:09 PM

Second full build and a bit more cash always speeds thing up!
It would have been an even quicker build if I didn't have to wait for parts!
