16 0 ReplyI’d bet the gauges and dash are still in the vehicle.
6 0 ReplyA lot of it was still analog, which is so much worse. You'd still have the basics, speed, ignition, engine temp, oil, alternator (?), RPM, light switches.

Yeah how tf are they able to move the steering wheel like that?!
2 0 ReplyUniversal joints, which steering columns already have. Just need one that's in the right spot with the necessary range of motion.
Alternatively, a ring/pinion gearbox could be designed to let the pinion rotate on one axis without issue.
I assume they used a rack/pinion setup with u-joints.

How do you get out if the car flips in an accident?
5 0 ReplyLooks a lot like a Sterling Nova. I wonder what "hurricane" means?
Fun fact: the donor car for a Nova kit is an old Volkswagen Beetle (IIRC)
Edit: I had no idea about the Holden Hurricane! So at least two designers thought the canopy was much cooler than it was inconvenient 😂
