Project code name Cheese Wedge
Hi guys and gals. It's time to start another project thread. I guarantee you will not find another vehicle like this in America.
My goal is simple for this car. 55-60mph top speed, four wheels, two passengers, daily driver status and the ability to go on any road legally, and no less than 75mpg. It's got to be enclosed and have heat.
I'm going to keep the specific chassis a secret for the time being as it is in storage away from home. What I will disclose is that it has an aluminum tube frame. Total vehicle weight is estimated at 1350lbs with a payload of no less than 600lbs, possibly a great deal more.
The drive system will consist of a water cooled three cylinder diesel/biofuel engine and centrifugal drive. If I can make it cost effective the drive will also have reverse, but currently I'm not certain it will.
I will begin posting photos as the chassis is brought home in the spring.
Anyone care to guess what chassis this motor will be in?
