Bits and pieces

This week I installed the new coil overs.  Built the gas pedal, hooked up the throttle cable.  I made a throttle stop, for fear of my lead foot snapping the tiny little throttle cable.  Made a bracket for the choke cable and hooked it up.

Flip it over

This  weekend I welded on the floor pan.  I used stainless steel sheet salvaged from a wrecked milk tanker.  Also got the brake pedal mounted and brake lines plumed.

CycleCar sees the Light of Day

It's been over a year since I've done any work on the CycleCar.  I moved 85 miles away from the shop and life has gotten busy.  Had a few days over the 4th of July weekend.  I drove up to the shop.  Em and I pulled the chassis off the wall and reassembled it.  Next, I got to work on the steering.  The rolling chassis is now rolling and steerable.  I've made a commitment to work on it every weekend for the rest of the summer.
