    JP's new racer...

    JP came up over the weekend so we could bend up the cage for his new Thunderchief racer. It took about 10 hours worth of bending, cutting, welding and grinding, but we got the first step of the process complete. They say imitation it the sincerest form of flattery. He wanted his cage to look like a couple others I've built, so we tried our darndest. It's mean-looking so far, and will only get better as more parts get welded on...

    More pics in the gallery....

    Very well done, and thanks again Mike!!! It looks just as good in the pictures as it does in person. I couldn't be happier with the way that it turned out. All of the bends, loops, and angles of this cage are almost perfectly symmetrical. Since I have the week off I'll be posting many more pictures as the frame and cage are being painted.

      That's a piece of art, guys. Can't wait to see the little beastie fly. Prep time's running out for Pine Lake!

          Looking good JP. You and Mike do very good work together!
          Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                    Nice work, always appreciate fabricated Art.
                    Where is the leg room? I would have to cut the hood back Aka Budracer to fit.

                      I bought shin guards to deal with the tight fit. Jeff and I are considerably smaller than you though Jersey.

                        The shin guards might not be a bad idea, George. Mike and I were able to get the seat mounted pretty low and far back enough that there is just enough leg room in there.

                          Great work you guys. I'll see you both on the the race track. I'll make sure my flip camera is pointed to the rear to keep an eye on you guys.
