Eternal's Straight 6 Build Thread

Took the car out today to get a bit of sun. Seemed a shame for it to miss out!

damnn.. that's looking fine
rather inspiring

i don't know if it has been mentioned already but just out of personal interest, what inter-cooler are you planning on using ?

Not sure what type of intercooler im going to be using yet, Probably a custom one.

Here is a little update of some bodywork. I have a load of work to do on the MNR nosecone and it will look alot different by the time its done. But that is the current length it will sit on the chassis.
Got a bit of a overhang on the scuttle. I thought i was going to have to pull it out now it seems i have to push it in a little lol ops. Anyone know the exact location the scuttle should sit and how much it should overhang the chassis rails?

The MNR nosecone is an odd thing - it doesn't look good in photos, but looks fine in real life.

It's probably a good idea to use a nose with a lot of air through-put - you'll need all the cold air you can get! (don't forget to give the air somewhere to get out again).

This is a fine project...

Indeed the mnr vortx race nose is a strange looker thats for sure. But the reason i love it is that its so tall and it will clear the front of my engine (just). The air will be split into two sections 1 (top) for intercooler and vent out of the top of the nose. 2 (bottom) to go into the radiator and two oil coolers some of this air mainly from the oil coolers will exit via the little wing bits.

Oh and just because it looks funky!

Reminds me a bit of the Xenomorph from Alien.

I'm back! Due to all the moves working on the project has been hard but have not got access to an unused 60000 sq ft unit that I can use. So will be getting the project started up again! A friend offered me cash for it and made realise how much I don't want to let it go.

Anyhow will keep you all updated with progress!
