General Eisenhower said it best, “Okay, let’s go.”

The Willomet Charger is my biggest and most ambitious project to date.  This episode kicks it off.  To get the kind of performance handling I want, it meant designing and building a whole new chassis, and cutting out the old unibody.  For those with a decent bankroll, there are plenty of choices from the various high-end builders.  That’s not me, and so I set out to take the best ideas from each of them, and design my own frame that accommodates the setback powertrain, and gets the car setup for a much more rigid platform.  As with any large project, being thorough in preparation goes a long way.  We’re picking up with the car already locked down to a simple frame table I built, and a few pieces of the Rev1 frame still in place.  As you’ll find, I’m big on revision levels.

Stick around to the end for some Q&A from the TIG welding episode along with my buddy, Karl, of the Manhattan Project Beer company.

Thanks for watching, and enjoy the episode,
David
