(I know it's not spelt the same but whatever)
Many of us are inspired by different things....whether it be in the fantasy or reality realm. Racing has been a big part of my life and boy do i love it!
Whether it's a roar of a corvette or the scream of a Le Mans Prototype...the American Le Mans Series has always been exciting for me; and it is with this that i draw my inspiration from:
The Tequila Petron "Acura Powered" LMP!
Over 600hp, 0-100mph in three seconds and can exceed 200 mph. :banana:
Now i won't go with the black and green like the car instead i'll go with white as the main color because at the moment i have so much white spray paint up the butthole.........that i'd rather use that than get black and then have all these black and white spray paint cans laying around.

DAY 1: 08/03/10
Every rig design has to start out with some sort of planning! :think:
More of my caveman drawings...some of these plans will be implemented but i have some ideas on what i could add in the future.
***( Sorry, i didn't know which picture ratio would work better..medium or large)***
Frame supply list:
1/16" x 1/2" 8ft Angle Aluminum
1/16" x 1/2" 12ft Channel Aluminum
Two 4ft pieces ready to be cut!
Safety Glasses...:up: I didn't want to look like popeye....just yet.
Haha, that and i didn't want Fire Marshall Bill storming in.....
"Lemme Sho' Ya' Sumtin'!"
Two pieces cut....two more to go!!!!
Four pieces cut and ready for filing!
Now i know your probably thinking....why two clamps? :think:
I bought a 8ft piece channel aluminum! :banana:
Let me tell ya....a 8ft piece of metal is a pain in the butt to clamp and cut.
I tried to develop a method on cutting channel aluminum and it's working pretty well! My method was starting a one corner, cutting into it and moving to the other edge and then cutting one side thin enough so that when i cut the other side it would just break off. (See photos)

No Flash
All the longer channel pieces cut, 3 more short pieces to go!
My weapon of choice, using a hacksaw would've taken A LOT longer!
It got really hot while cutting through the channel aluminum and in this picture i could just imagine it saying "F**k.......You".
One more side to go.......One more side to go!
All the cut channel....waiting to be filed!
Glamor shots! Haha sorry i couldn't help myself with the whole A thing.
That's it for today kiddies!
Wait until next time for some high thrill, modding action! :D
