Model A Update

27 hours in the shop last weekend, resulted in some serious tin work! Side panels are welded in and ready for final smoothing and blending. No more wheel wells! Here's some pictures I took over the past couple months of building. Still a long way to go, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter by the day.

Another jam session this weekend should help finish a lot of things....

    Dude! Are you building a cruise missile? I see the T56. So your A will do like 215mph??

    HAHA! The calculations I made with the gears I'm running, tire size, etc.. said something like 180 mph in sixth gear at 5500 RPM. However, since I'm on the aerodynamically challenged side of things I would guess it would take probably like 2000 hp to make that happen. HAHA! :) It should cruise just fine at highway speeds...
