It really is an amazing project
we have stood around sprites talking over beers and so many times the subject of adding moment and that the door was were to add it being that part of the door being the spot. To see pie in the sky beer talk come to fruition is so cool .
way to go guys.

Love this car too. Didn't Bugeyeguy stretch a frog once too? It was in the door also, for some tall dude.
 
So far we've mostly just been showing Jeff's hard work and skills. Time to jump back into the cartoon network, and bust out some more custom pieces on the #Frogette.

Premo supervising mocking up some new interior panels on the #Frogette. Plotter really comes in handy before letting the sparks fly.

Pretty rare when we can show off our CAD work. This is generally what we look at all day, just different vehicles. Only took about 300 hours to digitally generate the #Frogette with @mstaylor13. Still along way to go on this project.

Awesome! Keep it up and thanks for all the posting, details and pictures! Great job! I want to see it!
 
I'm thinking that a quick release steering wheel is going to be required to get in/out of the car if the top is up.
 
Sorry for the delay in our regular scheduled programming. Jeff's shop has been going through some major updates as we up our capabilities!

Well, the dogs bed is next to a lathe but what else are we looking at in the photo. I see two big cabinets????

Suspected that the one on the left was a lathe. Curious as to how many strength, bending and torsion calculations are included in the 300 hour's as well as suspention calculation's. I never got beyond the drawing board so CAD and CAM are a mystery to me but 300 hour's seem's a bit much.

300 hours was a rough number of what we thought it would take. It took a lot more, but 300 was what we we're shooting for. 300 hours is pretty light for designing a car from scratch. The chassis is mostly overbulit and a lot of hours into the suspension and steering. We're lucky to have some serious engineering horsepower on this build. From aerospace engineers to full time suspension gurus.
 
After some reorganization at the JMS shop, back to business on the #Frogette. Jeff getting the reinforced inner rocker panels mounted to the body and ready for mounting.
