I really like the Meercat's MR design and I think there is enormous "locost" potential using FF donors in the US. I was wondering if you had cad plans for...
HI, I have found a few .what kind of experience do you have with cad? I ask because I am just learning and I figured if I am going to learn there is no reason...
Hi Guys, The subject of frame design and how to "share" is one that crops up a lot. There are many aspects to consider. I could release what I have into the...
HI, I think being sued is a stretch..... for sharing dimensions of metal tubing.... now if you did build the chassis and sell them then you'd be at risk...
... Agreed, but who knows?..I have no problem with doing that just ask me specific things and I'll glady answer. ... Yep, true... ... Thanks. ... On that point...

Not much going on to be honest.....it's very hot here. I hope to make a lot more progress pretty soon when it cools a little. What about all you new...
Well, I fell into a donor car. My dad's old Caddy had its air conditionig go out. So I now have a 4.9L Caddy engine to build my middy locost. Right now, I...

... Good Luck! Berk .... Thanks for the encouragement.....LOL...I hope I beat the odds.....but I do know what you mean....the simpler you keep your plans the...
Yeah. Don't let me be a wet rag. On the other hand, if one naysayer was all it took to stop you, you'd never succed anyway :-D . Here's a thought. I've been...
