I assume this car when finished will make it's way to SEMA for the rest of the Auto industry to admire?
Ultimate Hybrid NSX Project

YES.....and PRI Show as well....WHEN (if?) I get it finished!

HI-TECH DELAYS; even the most carefully designed components sometimes require an "ADJUSTMENT"!
So I'm assembling all of the uprights and checking for proper clearance with the control arms and I discovered I have to re-machine ONE monoball stud (4340) because the machine shop didn't use the correct radius cutter!!! OUCH....these aren't easy to install, and once they're assembled there really shouldn't be any reason to ever disassemble them again.......just a tiny bit off causes a wasted day!

Here you can see the stud (yellow circle) isn't seating properly......can you spell "back to the drawing board"?

So I flip the upright upside down, and start over with the torch! (the stud should fall out when chilled)

OOPS!......you can see my "top-secret" variable steering ratio 4340 steering slugs in this shot.....but they won't do anyone else much good anyway unless they fab a billet upright to accept my design, haha!
FIXED....and now I'm installing new wheel bearings & seals, but since I'm running CARBON ROTORS (think VERY HIGH HEAT), I have to be extra careful not to distort or unevenly load the seals in any way........so naturally I just had to make my own wheel bearing seal installation tool.......STAY TUNED, because it turned out very trick!
Fuel Cell PLUG Fabrication Almost Finished!
Next step: coat with a light "skin" of bondo and sand smooth for gel coat to protect plug from dents & nicks. Then ship out for digitizing in solid works....then send the files to Fuel Safe for final "Bladder Fab" (FINALLY!).

Any updates?
Hmmm.... Well OF COURSE PhotoBucket has implemented some new-fangled reg that prevents me from linking MY pics to a "3rd-Party Website!
Hopefully I will have this *#@%++* situation fixed shortly..... AND post some more pics of the BEAST (after I blow the dust off!).

I've always joked about having my brain transplanted into a robot body when mine eventually starts to fail. Glad to see someone is pioneering this concept!
This is a build that I'm sure EVERYONE wants to know the status of. Sad to see there hasn't been much to report of course, and that his website is no longer available. 
Yes, we really NEED some more updates on this amazing project!!!
