Here is the latest photo. All apart. The body shop manager says those "straps" seen on the frame hold the thing together? Could those heavy duty straps do that?  |

I imagine that any bolts thru alum won't be as strong as ones thru steel. I think they would tear out of the alum a little easier than steel. Kevlar straps are probably an additional back-up in case of a very violent collision. Goggles .the body is attached to the frame with its own body mounts. The straps are for added protection. ------------------  More 'Pumpkin' photos and Mod Stuff . . . . . . . Our other cars and stuff "I may have to grow older, but I do not have to grow up!"

the straps are for rollovers.there are only 4 body bolts holding the body to the frame and in a rollover,you dont want them to seperate.by the way the w/s frame is not aluminum its smc and if the car goes over you better duck fast.that frame will be the first thing to take your head off. ------------------ This message has been edited by catfish on 06-23-2013 at 02:29 PM |

The Green is going to stand out. It took me a couple days just to paint the fire wall after I got Perl to that stage. Somebody has a lot of work to do to get it back in one piece. It took me about 6 weeks to take Perl apart and paint it and get it back together.  |

The Kevlar straps keep the body tub attached to the frame in the event of a side impact. They were added late in development. |

Comparing Riddler's naked body car and BillyC's naked body car, BillyC's car has and extra piece next the the rear tire, below the body frame. What is that? |
