Today I drove out to the Hendrix Motor Sports shop out in Santa Margarita to pickup chassis number 028. Mike has been busy cranking out chassis's at 1-2 per week. Parts for numbers 030 and 031 were starting to come together.


Marlin the dog was the first to greet me as I arrived at the shop.


My chassis was ready to go and hanging from the sealing of the shop. Using the roof mounted winches, Mike was able to rotate and flip the chassis for easy loading into the back of our pickup.


Here is the base used for building each Hendrix chassis.








On my way back to Fresno, I stopped by Eric Linkers shop.


I took a very close look at Lisa's Formula Toyota, the prototype for the class and current series winner.


Camo's shop has more computing power than many offices!


Lisa's newest toy!


Fork lift, the ultimate shop tool.


Arriving back in Fresno.


Using two tubes across the frame, the chassis was dropped in place. On Saturday, I removed the stock tcase crossmember, horseshoe crossmember, and rear tubular crossmember from the frame. Andy created a plate and gusset for mounting the steering box.
