Candidly, we are still working that part through.
The irony here is that Jim's car is frequently referred to as "002C"; however, his car is actually stamped "002" and, AFAIK, the original sales...
Nathan, Thank you for sharing your insightful research with the group. --John
Jim, Do you happen to have the chassis tube dimensions of 002 in your records anywhere?
Still no thoughts from anyone out there as to what the 10S might mean? Very curious that there would be NO known record of this # anywhere in the...
Jim, Did you happen to take a look at the other 002 steering box stamping (same location as shown in mirror on 1C/10S)? Thanks.
Well put Michael. Through actively participating in this thread I'm learning that your question can be applied to much of what went on with these...
Virtually none of the above is accurate for chassis 1C/10S. Car was found near Albany with current motor/components and 002 Motto body affixed....
AFAIK, I dont believe that the brakes on 002 bear any casting numbers at all. Also, it appears that 002s brakes have additional venting which was...
It appears that the bulkhead is highly integrated into the Motto body. IMO this leaves two scenarios, A) that the original 002 bulkhead was...
We will check on this and report back later today (hopefully with photos).
Jeff, The steering box stampings on 1C/10S read "M02". Yes, it would be certainly interesting if anyone knew the steering box numbering...
Size/ample resolution might be an issue with this photo. Someone else may have a better quality pic/scan. [ATTACH]
Thanks.
I'm just curious; however, did 01C/010I post any component stampings during the restoration? Are they published anywhere? Thanks.
Very interesting... The steering box stamping from 002 is M010. Would one therefore assume that M02 (stamping on 1C/10S) is earlier? Stamped...
The bulkhead configuration (as seen in the photo) is original to the best of our knowledge. Perhaps Jim might have information to confirm this,...
Nathan, I think that the 1C/10S Motto body (originally off of 002) is perhaps the only item reaching true consensus established here to date. I...
Thank you Michael.
Would anyone who has a higher resolution photo (>70K) of the 1947/48 shop photo (the 3 chassis side-by-side) kindly post it? If not, no worries....
