  Great build log !

I'm curious about how your weight is coming along. You were originally worried your choice of 3/4" plywood would add about 75 lbs to the chassis. What did the chassis finally weigh ? How much added by the suspension components and subframes ?

Plywood is easy to work with, but you seem pretty comfortable with welding the steel tubing. Were you at all tempted to eliminate some of the plywood moncoque from the tub and front trunk and just build a steel space-frame covered with more fiber-glassed foam core ? Do you think it would have saved any weight ?

  Really beutiful work that you are doing (both car and webpage). I am printing most of your site to have as lecture before I start my Vortex project so that I know what I'm getting into.

Looking forward to your next entry.

Cheers /Johan (Stockholm, Sweden).

  Hey Dan -
I was pointed here by my brother-in-law Ben. This is pretty cool - not only the work you're doing to the Vortex, but also the work you're spending keeping this web log updated. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the finished product!

  Paul,

Thanks for the heads up on the missing link on some pages, will fix asap. This is getting pretty big and getting a bit tougher to maintain but will do my best.

  This site was created to cronicle the building of my Vortex 3-wheeler vehicle, hopefully it will help you if/when you build your 3 wheeler.

I hope that the information contained within it will provide you with additional insight to the construction of the Vortex.

Feel free to leave any comments/suggestions here.
