Although I haven't mentioned it since my
first post, I have actually been doing a fair amount of work on the Locost, a sports car which I'm building. Although it's still very far from being finished it is now starting to slightly resemble a car, so I thought I would put up a progress update.
Building the Frame
The first major component to be built on the car was the frame. I should say, rather, that it was the first to be started as there are always a few more brackets and things to add to it as the build continues, but the major structure of the frame came together fairly quickly.

Here is how it all started: four lengths of 1" 16ga rectangular section steel tubing clamped to a build table. Seems very simple, right? It's hard to imagine at this stage that this will eventually be where your butt will sit as you travel down the highway.
