Holy crap guys!!! Lol thanks for all the positive words. I'm in a stressful part of the year for my business ( the final stretch ) before winter comes on and the email asking about me finishing my build got me going. In a good way though. When I say "build it or die trying" I really mean die trying!!! My business partner and I had one of the best meetings I've ever had concerning internet marketing and I finally hope to get
www.batbuilder.com straightened up. Plus clean up our business site.I've had a vision of what I want to do in my gray years and it takes the right people in the right places. These guys have ideas I didn't know existed so hopefully that will take off. I will definitely keep you guys in the loop. Again thanks for the support.
Today I am taking the remanufactured superchargers to the engine assembler and getting a parts list....finally. So everything will be replaced including the sensors. Welding is being finished on the roadster and should have the body off around saturday for complete welding of the roll bar.Should be ready for the assembler by Tuesday. We jumped the Roadster first because it has a complete fiero v-6 with the Getrag 5 speed. The coupe has the 4 cylinder Iron duke and Isuzu 5 speed (weaker). So by jumping the roadster ahead as we pull the engine cradle I have all the new parts powdercoated and ready to go in. I'll receive the getrag tranny and transaxle so it can be rebuilt for the coupe. Does that make sense? If the coupe went first i would have been out of sinc on the rebuilding for the next car. Our goal is to get the motors in, completely running and even driving them around before the bodies go on. I may have to throw some plastic fenders on and blinkers and my makeshift windshield. Its exactly what I did with the 89 Batmobile and it was a blast to drive around. We can work out ALL the problems before the bodies are dropped back on, plus its fun as hell!!! lol. With the batmobile having fully independent transmission, v-6 mid engine design and 22 inch wide rear wheels I could not get the tires to break traction even at 45 mph turns. Its a weird feeling because when the car doesnt slide you get the feeling of going straight out of the car. Thats my goal with the Lambos. Quick acceleration, tight handling and dependability. I'm going to hold off on the rear axle extensions and the extended lateral links until the body is on since I'm so perplexed on the dang wheel set up. But we have worked out a cool idea on moving the rear strutt towers and lowering the car while not ruining the handling geometry. To me the wheels and tires can make or break the look and handling of the car. I'm still not sure of the exact turning point of the front hub assembly. But where ever it is I want to keep the absolute correct backspace on the wheel to keep the center of the wheel right there. That was done on the Rumbler and the Big Kahuna and what a difference. Again thanks for looking and all the kind words. I got a lot of pics to catch up on....dave
