A few "progress" pics... Just a few progress pics thus far... I've got the cowl cut for carburetor clearance, and have the new Griffin radiator mounts all fabbed up. I'm slowly working on body work in the engine compartment. I've still got a little fab work to do before getting the engine compartment ready for paint, but I've gotten a lot accomplished so far... Not that anyone gives a ****, but everything has been/is being fabbed up and done by me (except when I put the rollcage in)...

Actually, it's out of the car since I'm finished mocking up the engine. Now I need to polish it so it'll be pretty and shiny.

Re: A few
Looking good George. I have often wondered about removing that upper radiator support. How inportant is it to structural integrity?
It actually seems a little stiffer overall now with the .75" square tubing I used, plus I'm going to be fabbing a piece for the front that ties the two framerails together (where the bumper would go) and supports the plastic nosepiece and the front of the hood.

Re: A few
George that brings back memories! Even the color! I am glad I dont have to go through that again. Keep up the good work and make sure you have patience!
I've only painted the bottom side of the rear wing so far, and I don't know how the color will look in a picture, but I'll to snap one or two. I don't dare say what the color is called for fear of ridicule, but it doesn't look like it sounds...

Re: A few "progress" pics... What did you do to keep everything in line when you removed that upper support? Mount something up where the bumper was and maybe toss a strut tower bar on there before cutting the old one out? Or even more extreme bracing?
Looks like it would be a good setup for those of us that are blown/turbo for fitting intercoolers and other plumbing.
