Some progress yesterday.
I've rebuilt a shifter setup bracket, modified the shifter linkage, to have a centered shifter.
And started to work on the floor structure.

 

Pretty cool brake set up

 

Still worked today on the substructure, and seat substructure, who helps also to rigidify the body.
Also done brackets to bolt the body on the frame.

 

Work today on the seat substructure, the seat will be bolted on a frame who can be opened to have an acces to the under seat volume (maybe for battery and/or tools or electrical system).

Finished also the floor structure, and tranny tunnel structure.

Started to adapt the embossed firewall. I don't use the lower part, wo will be made from scratch. The part I used, has been reversed and fits perfectly, firewall/engine space is just perfect.

I just bought a VW bus column and steering box on ebay, I wait on it to mock up the steering and column, and finish the firewall.

 

Hello Etienne -
I've been following the progress on you car for sometime.
Your diligence and creativity are reflected in what I know will be a wonderfully unique car.
Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks Steve !

 

Bolted he radiator today, and the shortened grille shell.
and some mockups with hood and hood sides..

 

Etienne, its really coming together! Looks great!

 

DAMN that looks good!!

 

thanks !

 

quel fromage!!! progress!

(i hope you use some Citroen or Renault parts in it)

 

This project is incredible!Also the brake setup is a very ingenious solution to a space problem.

 

thanks.
Yes, the body is a 30's Citroen !

 

Nice work! I really like the proportions.

.

 

Not a lot of progress, just some steering box & column( from a early VW bus) mock up.

 

i love this build

it should join the ranks of bass,paul,& rolf in the tech-o-matic

 

Looking good - this thread is great the progress you've made in such a short time is damn near inspirational.

 

Thanks For Sending This Good Job On Your Ride Tim

 

great thread,lots of good pix&info. I'll be using it a lot during my build.

 

A litlle progress.
Mocked up the cable operated clutch system, with a clutch cable from a modern european car.
It works great, and just need now to be finished, but now, brake & clutch pedals works !
Also work again on the substructure/floor, started to close some area with sheetmetal...

 

A little progress yesterday.
Started to work on the windshield, to create a roadster style one, with "swivelable" posts on my straight pillar pick up body.
Stanchion are not bolted but welded to the body.

I've started to cut the pillar with a hole saw, and welded a tube section to create the "stanchion".
With some other tubes, welded together, and adding some sheetmetal, I've made the posts from scratch.
They need now to be finished, like on the superior section, and need also to create the screw system...
to be continued...
