		Brad started out with a sturdy table on which to build his new chassis.
		The front bumper is Brad's interpretation, but he's leaving it unfinished for the time being.
		Some of the components that Brad has prepared from the drawings.
		Brad made the front uprights, but opted for stub axles from a trailer supply shop.
		Metal art! The rear semi-trailing arms.
		Again, very nicely made front A-arms.
		A Honda CBR 1000 provides the power.
		Twin fans and an aluminium radiator take care of cooling. Rather than making the standard cassette drive, Brad made a drive centre of his own design, although this too may be replaced.
		Shiny new shocks...
		...provide 19" of wheel travel.
		Brad bit the bullet and remade the headers. Really nice looking job which will also make the engine more tractable.
		First look with the wheels on and lookin' mean!
		Making a dash for it!
		"Brad to aircraft traffic control...ready for take-off!"
		In goes the turbo, cooler and RPM FNR gearbox.
		Nice new skin.
		Saddle up!
		Final paint. Congratulations Brad on a really cool car!
