NICE!!!! but i hate threads like this, they make me want to build another car damn it. anyway, keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

 

looks good- hey off hand do you happen to know the sizes needed to loop the ps lines w/ an fittings like you did?

 

They are metric and 2 different sizes if I remember right.
I'll see if I an dig up the part numbers.

 

excellent thanks man.

 

Who's K-member is that? It been a while since I have seen a set of Motor mounts straight up.

Nice build by the way.

 

take some more of the firewall what did you cut out of the inside. I want to cut most of the inside dash support out and tie everything to my dash bar.

 

Its coming along nicely Wayne! What motor mounts do you use? Stock, poly, or home made solid mounts??

 

Need one each of Earls 991955ERL (M16x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male) and Earls 991956ERL (M18x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male)

then you can loop with -6AN hose

 

You can loop the rack by just cutting the ends off the factory hoses and using a piece of 3/8 hose like I did, not as nice looking though.

I'll be intrested to see how you are supporting the nose when it's all done and the radiator mounting as well. I keep seeing stock radiator support required in some class rules and have been hesitant to do what you did with the upper radiator support, but that is along the lines of what I'd like to do. The metal that you cut out in front of the minitub's, what did that really remove for weight? I have seen that done before, but I worry that it's gonna cause alot more 1/4 flex and could create some wrinkle marks in the rear 1/4's. That, and the strength of the roof has got to be compromised as well... but that's what the cage is for, hopefully that will never never have to be tested.

Looks really good so far!

 

Thank You.

 

Pics of the bumper and radiator support.....

 

put a rack on it you cheapo... lol

 

Looks good. Are you going to put the fuel cell in the nose, or leave it in the back?

 

looks great ...

 

Lend me some money..


JL, I have a aluminum cell in the stock location.

 

if i had some extra cash i'd have to mini tub mine too before i lend you some money.... ha!

when i hit the power ball i'll let you know...

looks good by the way.

what have you got your weight down to?

 

Got ya. I was thinking standalone... but forgot that you're on the dry side of things and don't need it.

I wanna just ditch all that, put a little 2 gallon jaz cell in the nose and run everything off that.... wasn't sure if you were taking the same route or not. Good way to ditch a bunch of weight, and the fuel doesn't have to fight gravity to get to the motor anymore.

 

I'd make the bumper support on a slip-fit with a pin holding it on for ease of working on the car to make life easier for you.

Looks great though!

 

Getting closer .......
