Scratch Built Version of a Caterham SV

[scannon]

John has been working on this project for quite awhile. He started with measurements taken from my SV and designed his own version using a Miata drivetrain including the IRS.

 

Today he started it for the first time.

 

 

His Locost blog is at http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13510&sid=a855ce69feef7c0940d40a05b53f6d94&start=15

That guy is something else (skillwise)... making his own poly bushing is crazy etc..

He is a highly skilled machinist working for an aerospace company. He also works in glass, ceramics, makes high dollar kaleidoscopes and lots of other things. He built that shop himself.

 

John also did the machining on my Caterham build, things like motor mounts, water outlets and reconfiguring the tailshaft of the transmission to fit into the Caterham tunnel.

John's car looks fantastic. Last time I saw it, he was fabricating the frame. Top notch work and attention to detail.

That's humbling.

I've been following his build on locostusa closely as I'm doing something similar. Thanks for posting the video.
