More front end mounts finished up, fuel cell and radiator mount......

I knew we were getting closer when Eric wanted me to bring the engine down to do mockup and build a mid plate, air pan, new trans crossmember, realign motor plate mounts etc....



Also checked the fitment of my new KY Turbo 2.25" primary headers with a 4.5" collector......

Eric machined those himself.

Technically the car is done, painted, assembled, and raced...and yes all this was done prior to the LS Fest. The Fest was the first time out with the car this year. I didn't want any pics being posted of the car until it was done....

Have u got any pics showing how tight the mainhoop is to the chassis?

Anymore pics of the seat mounts and height etc?

I need more headroom with my wolfe cage kit, looking at cutting the floor to get more height, my kirky seat is basically touching the standard rear seat bolt platforms. So im as low as i can go.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thans a bunch...... no wonder im short on height. Your cage is a good height, and runs perfectly inline with the roof skin!

Looks like I should built a cutom cage!
