Rebel,
Here is a trip down Memory Lane.
A lot of old pictures and from four of my dragsters we built but maybe it could inspire you a little bit more to go ahead?
First the Pank built in 1977.
On this car we really built a lot ourselves.
Spindles, front wheels with own hubs and Italian magnesium rims.
The steering rack modified to be lighter than a Stilletto model just for the sake of it.
Gas welded CroMoly.....that taught us a lesson or two before we mastered temperatures and stressrelieving on this very sensitive material. Even room temperature is critical.
And a memory lane picture from our first testrun...worn down home made camshafts, and the flame hardening just did not work.
Look how half ready the car was. Rubber just wrapped around the flywheel housing and a lot of quick fixes.
The date is April 1978
Here comes some pictures from 1982.
The monocoque experiment. I really regret not building further on thsi concept. It could have been a pretty nice car but it quickly changed shape due to circumstances I am still too shy to share.
Here the loop around the gas pedal can be seen.
Now a mix from two other cars.
Year are 1982-1983
Note the wheelie bar. I think we were testing this at the same time as similar concept was popping up in USA.
