Well, since it is the off season for racing and I had some free time, I continue to work on the GTMR. I think I am going on 6 years now.
I painted the body with filler primer, then took a long board sander to it and found all the high/low spots. Some filling with body filler for the major spots is in order, and then some more filler primer.
I also have been able to nearly complete the jig for the uprights. This is a "YUGE" step in the building process because it really ties all the wheels/brakes/suspension together and must be done in such a way that is geometrically correct, and dynamically advantageous. I built all of this within a Bill Mitchell authored dynamic suspension design program and am now to the build stage. The jig insures that upright #1 is equal in every critical way to upright #10. I have actually two fixtures in order to build the uprights. They are all hand fitted and made 100% out of 4130 steel.
