Thanks man... Made some body sheets out of cardboard to check the space on the inside. It`s more than enough just not where it`s needed. But i`ll find a way to figure it out... The radiator fit`s besides the engine: Besides the seat is a lot of room for the controls, electrics and stuff...

Started the cage today: First i made the window frame, to get the exact width: With this measurement i could start with the cage: My saw spilled cooling fluid all over the place, so i made this thing: Almost finished: Not sure why it looks like crap on those pictures but it`s...

Nice to hear that. There`s an offroad event at the end of may, i`m trying to get the front car ready for some testing there. But still not sure if i`ll be there... We still couldn`t figure out how the articulated joint between both cars works. Because of this we took a ride to a ski resort...

Thanks man, nice to hear from you. How are you doing? I can't place the drive sprockets in the rear, because then the engine would have to sit way too low because of the cv-shaft angles. Also the sprockets have nothing on them to guide the tracks sideways, so they wouldn't work as an idler...

Tied the subframe into the main chassis beam today: Still thinking about how i`m going to tie the upper mounts into the frame. Maybe you guys have some suggestions? Also got the bearings for the cv shafts: Got the small one painted on sunday:

The track is still way too long, i need to shorten it to the right size...

Yes, i think it`ll sound awesome too... The 3cyl. sounds really good, exactly what you would except in such a vehicle...

Yes, shouldn`t take too long to do a test drive... Here`s another pic of the track assembly: Also started with the second track:

Hi, the joystick will control throttle, brakes and steering... First i finished both track assemblies today: Then i started with the main chassis beam: This is how it`ll be mounted: Placed all the stuff. Space is tight, but everything will fit...

Almost finished one track assembly today: Just had to take a seat.... So much better than before...

Big change of plans today: Engine/Drivetrain: I wan`t happy with the engine position all the time. The center of gravity is way to much up front, the aperture angle is incredible bad for a tracked vehicle. And the drivers view is really obstructed by the big engine... So i decided to put the...

I just took the time to practice welding. That saves me time afterwards when there's no need to clean up the welds... Thanks. You're right, i borrowed those wheels from my scooter. The right ones should get delivered today or tomorrow... My MAG welder is more powerful than my ARC welder. It...

Figured out the final dimensions and engine position today. Also shortened the drive shafts: Then i started with the frame: And started machining the second drive sprocket:

Redid the part from yesterday: Then i started with the second one: Both finished:

Finally got my steel today: And started over: Unfortunately it warped while welding, so i have to cut it off and redo it tomorrow... :coffee:

Came up with a new design for the joint between both cars. It`s based on the real one and should be a lot better than my old design:

Thanks for the english lesson. I think it`s a fume exhauster: Also ran a air hose down in my shop: I didn`t get the steel today, so i got the axles ready. I`m going to use the rear axle in the front car and the front axle in the rear car. The drive sprocket fit`s perfect: I`m going...

Thanks for the info... :ylsmoke: Couldn`t get the steel today, maybe tomorrow if i`m lucky... We started making a hole in the wall for ("thing that evacuates welding fumes" how`s this called?): Also made a stack for shorter pieces of steel: What i need now is an idea what to use for...

Finished parting out the Justy yesterday. Here`s a pic of removing the rear axle: Made a roller stand (?) for my saw: Also a jack stand for some welding practice: Will pick up the steel tomorrow, so i`m going to have the first track assembly ready by Saturday...

Picked up the saw today: After a bit cleaning, fresh oil and dialing in it runs like on it`s first day: Bought it for about $200, the seller thought it`d be broken...
