A big thank you to @cory.nasso at the @silverplumegeneralstore for donating his time to cut out our new @headwaters.studio entrance sign. It feels fitting to have this piece in place as we prepare to welcome our first students today.

Two steps forward one step back lately. I had to get a few welds double passed because the middle crossmember also serves as an overlay on the joint. Unfortunately, I was impatient and didn't let it cool enough between passes and the rails ended up pulling more than anticipated. So when I went to put the crossmember in, it wasn't remotely close to fitting. So had to cut the tacks on the crossmember and cut the welds on the rails. Then clamp it all back in the jigs and weld it back (correctly). It's a learning process and just a bit frustrating but projects like this rarely go perfect from the start.

Photos are of the corrected frame rails with the rear crossmember/winch mount in, as well as the middle rear crossmember. I'm a big fan of designing to have components do multiple things, as I believe it results in a clearer end product, so this crossmember is A) a tie between the rails, B) overlays on the weld joint C)body mount surface, D) the front mount for the fuel cell. Talk about killing 2 birds (or 4) with 1 stone!

My ocd struck today. This piece serves three purposes... Crossmember for the frame rails, a mounting place for the fuel cell, and a place for two body mounts. I welded in end caps today and blended all the corners just for a more polished look.

Now we're moving! I finished up the rear crossmember through tubes for mounting the rear winch and bumper, and moved on to the frame rails. The rails are all tacked and ready to be put into the main jigs tomorrow. Should start looking like a chassis finally!

Quick video of making the pass through for the rear winch. The pass through is actually two individual pieces of .120 steel that I tigged together, prior to dropping it into the cutout in the rear crossmember. Once it was in place, I burned it in and then spent a few hours sanding, filing, buffing, and filling low spots until the edges came out perfectly blended.

One of the last details I designed into the chassis was a hidden rear 10,000lb winch. It tucks up into the frame rails and the rope passes through the rear crossmember. Today I got the pass through welded on and blended. I originally planned on just buffing the welds, but I got a bit carried away with blending the pass through in 😅

So what's your guilty pleasure when doing mindless work? I, admittedly, listen to way too much Nickleback when prepping a few 100 parts for welding. I'm a child of the 90s and 2000s so I can't help it, no matter how much you all hate them 😂

Got to spend a few days in Florida with @mafabacher for the 1000 Miglia Florida Experience rally. We spent 3 days in a beautiful Ferrari 458 driving across Florida. Saw some beautiful cars (Pagani Huayra R was phenomenal), got to tour two Ferrari dealerships, learn how to navigate based on a road book, and stretch the legs of a dream car for a few days. An early highlight for the year for sure! by @cory.nasso
