Few update pics





First bars are down!





She's gonna be LOW!!

 

Update time!

 

Looks great!!

 

Yesterday I was scrolling FB and saw some pictures from either the shop or maybe the owner of the place working on my car.















I thought to myself, DAMN they do nice work. Cant wait to see that kind of stuff on my car. Shortly after liking the pics/post he sent me a message and said "You know thats your car right?" I went back and looked and in the last pic I posted above you can see that it IS my car!! He then sent me some more pics























This thing is gonna be SICK!! I am so excited[img alt=""]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]!

 

Those are some bad *** welds!! Awesome build man

 

Looking f’n sweet!

Best of success with your build!

 

Staying stock style suspension ?

 

Can anyone else not see the pictures you're posting?

 

Nope, going 4 link

Not sure what the issue is. I host the pics on SmugMug.

 

I can't but i figured it was the firewall at work, lol.

 

Where did you get the carbon roof? Is that the one from Iroc motorsports or whatever 6le turned into?

 

The roof and the wing are both from Kostick composites. Mikes parts are top notch, some of the best carbon parts I have ever seen. The only other parts in the same realm are Ultra Carbon, and they use very similar methods so it makes sense. I wish I could buy all the parts he makes LOL

 

FINALLY got my parts from Midwest Chassis.



This is the t-top delete metal





And the cowl delete/firewall









I did the 2/3 delete kit, but really even more of the stock firewall will go away by the end. This just makes Jordans job a little easier so he doesn't have to fabricated the entire thing. I have probably said it before, but these two things should have been done by my buddy when he owned it. Ignoring that, the last owner 100% should have done both since they had all the glass out and painted the car. I am not looking forward to having to do paint work, but oh well.



Anyway, thats all for now. No new pics from the chassis shop just yet.

 

I got a HANS device finally















My helmet is beat to hell!









I need to adjust the tether, but I will do that later. I do also want to get a new helmet, but that is lower on the list for now. New suit should be in tomorrow though! Even though I probably wont be able to run the car until MAYBE late next year, I needed the actual safety gear to do the seat pour.



I apparently also got a new mid plate today [img alt=""]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]





He's holding out on pics of the car though, that's all I got LOL. It could be that nothing has been happening while they waited on the plate, but who knows.

 

I have that same Necksgen device. I like it. I bought mine way too early before my car was ready, so the cert expired before I even got to use it. Just like my fire suit…

 

I'm worried about that too, but I needed them for the seat pour. Hopefully I can get the car on track in a reasonable amount of time.

 

Got my new suit today, and damn is it nice! I have always had RJS before, but after asking around some I ended up with Pro1. It fits really well, actually a little better than my old suit even. I was surprised that its not all that bulky for being a /20 suit. It is however way heavier than I expected. So jacket, pants, helmet and HANS are 16lbs! The suit is around 12-12.5 of that.



Anyway, some pics













Pretty boring, but another piece of the puzzle.

 

I’m gonna pick out a new suit at PRI. I’ll give Pro1 a look.

 

Its time for an update!! So yesterday I got a pic of the midplate all trimmed up and ready to go.







OH YEAH!! This morning I got a call from the chassis guy to let me know that the motor plate I had was set up for an offset driveline. For those who dont know, F-bodies have the drivetrain offset to the passenger side by 1 inch. I did already know that, but just wasn't thinking about it. I knew everything was moving back some amount, so I did expect to have to remake the turbo kit already. What I didnt think about is that the manifold is into the steering shaft now, which also needs to change. I made the decision to put the engine and trans where it needs to be, and I will just deal with the rest. I am not sure right now if I am going to have them make me manifolds, or if I am going to take a stab at it myself. It kind of depends how bad it looks when its all set.



Anyway, with that they kept going.









Its coming along!! I cant wait to go out there soon to see it in person and get all fit.

 

Is the rear end setup for the fbody off set? I would hope not.
