I think the "car" hasn't progressed since at least '07.

I've spent most of my life working fairly hard for a living, to the point where it is no longer an option.
The only thing I have left is a lifetime of dreams, but of course, not enough money to build them all, enough for comfort, but if only I had greater means.
Are a persons dreams not the spark of innovation that drives the progress of civilization?
If so then should we not try to understand how sad it is when those who dare to dream should be encouraged.
My build represents the end result of a pursuit. There are others here, including myself, who have built from the outside in, with a focus on aerodynamics. In my case the reality of this probably being the last vehicle I ever "build".
Inspiration is fading with age, but I guess I will be dreaming until I go back in the ground.
"If we don't hang together we will all be hung separately", applies to every endeavor.

Like I said in Post 40, I have good reason to question his true motivation.
If his dream was really, truly to build this car- yes, get the dang car built and moving under it's own power- I would be first in line to share whatever helpful hints I'm capable of.
But I don't think he cares about that.

There's a HUGE difference between: (a) a large number of share holders and (b) a large number of vehicle owners. |

Frank's post number 38 on my build thread was inspirational to me. I understand what his position is on this build (Zoleco) and I appreciate the positive response. It would be nice to have some outside help but that also brings in the expectations that follow the capital.

So, do we know how the Cd of 0.17 was arrived at? Based on his numbers (CdA = 3.35 sq ft), the frontal area is 19.706 sq ft.

This is a Perfect Gig for a con artist, make the mock up / Prop then go looking for investors to win over with your spiel.
If he had a actual running prototype that does as he claims I would be more likely to trust his character.
