    Hello everybody,

    Big change right now, because we had a problem with the size of the tire, we had to spend 31 to 28 inches in diameter because we need the ZR (200mph) index, and therefore, the rear end is more down . But it is a good thing, because other things are settled, so we have move back in to move better now.

    Here are some pictures at the time of reflection, I will put some pictures next weekend to show you the difference.

    See you soon.

    Hello everyone,

    Because of the change of the rear end, and the problem of the size of tires. We have reworked the rear of the chassis and mounting the bridge. It is now finally done, we are now at 6cm (2.37inch) soil with good tires. Next step is the placement of the new front end, as soon as we received this weekend. Then we go worked on the steering system, pedal, and we go worked on the engine and brakes.

    Hi . A fantastic build..the hours you must be spending in construction looks horrendous...nothing ever goes to plan when building something like this....definatly a team effort .....Your photographer is an absolute artist..has really enhanced your build and will keep me coming back just to look at the photos....Doug

    Hello everyone,

    We are in the "Bonneville Speed ​​Week," we follow the race from our flat country, reading the comments of friends who live in on the Bonneville site.

    Anyway, we advance too, we have changing the rear axle​​, we have placed a rack, and the brake master cylinder., We have changed the front axel too, we installed a front Ford 46 "but in the Gasser style, modifying for the blade suspension as the I-beam.

    And finally, the tank is in place on the frame, and everything falls perfectly, we are delighted to see the Belly in this state because it motivates, that's finally a true form of Belly tank.

    Here are some pictures
