Did you make them with 2X6's?
Yeah we made them with 2x6s, not sure how tall they are but the rears are 3/4" taller or so. I'll measure them tonight.

Got some small stuff done, found out I need to order some more SS hose. Worked most of the day on the carpet and the dry sump. We used contact cement in a paint sprayer and worked like a champ. Stuff is like liquid nails. Dry sump clusterfuck is almost done.

Dash in place


Carpet is in from firewall to partition right behind front seats


Another shot of the dash, Hans, Helmet


Dry sump mounted, still need to box frame rails


Dry sump outside
