Stepping away from their monocoque chassis for a bit, what about their other models in general? They have a "superspec" model that is supposed to be "all...

I suppose that a monocoupe 7 is possible. Westfield has its $75k featherweight in CF. The tunnel area of the 7 offers a pretty good box section, which, if tied...

Nice car. I like the comment ' photo's in my garage (sorry for the mess)'. Er, what mess? In my garage you cannot see the floor most of the time. Do the Dutch ...
Well, It is a very irritating common dutch habit to want everything to be "netjes" (tidy). Things like mowing the grass with a nailclipper, planting flowers in...
Hi All Without wanting to start a MIG vs TIG welding debate is it possible to build a decentish locost using normal electric arc welding ? for the main chassis...
I presume you mean stick welding? Although its possible, the thinness of the metal used means you can blow holes in it quite easily, unless you are very good...

Mig is not hard to learn. It requires less clean up before and after welding. It is used a lot in production situations where well trained crafts are no...
Hi; I've welded a LOT over the years and thought I'd give it a whirl with stick. It's possible, but if there are any joints that have poor "fit-up" it's ...

If you're comfortable with stick I'd use it. It's not as clean as MIG and takes more skill. You'd want to use 1.6mm rods and low amps. The 7018 rods are nice...
One thing you could consider is using the stick welder , with 2mm rods to tack your chassis and then hire or borrow a mig to fully weld when you are satisfied...
A Men to that ; you can hardly see my chassis now in my garage . It is going to take a day of cleaning to find the car to get back to work on it. David Loll ...
