the lines off of the spacer are assorted vacuum and boost reference lines. With the manifold pressure this methods allows good connections without blowing lines off.
Most back halved or tube chassis cars locate the driver in that position for many reasons including sitting lower in the car, ability to get in and out considering the funny car cage addition, placement of weight, and that cool chicano low rider look. :Jest:
Chassis should cert 25.2 and the only factory unibody left on the car is in the engine compartment. Other than that it is pretty much all tube chassis up to the termination point just beyond the front wheels and I do not believe the car will recieve carpet.
The oil pan is a cast piece from ARE that we use on all of our dry system builds. It also adds a little strength to the block.
More pics as soon as I can guys and thanks once again for the kind words.

The car isn't getting any carpet.The floor looks too good to cover up.
The seat was moved back for a couple reason's.
With the halo around the driver there wouldn't be much room for me to get out of the car if left in the stock location.
I'm 6'2" and wanted to put my 230-240 lbs as far back in the car as possible for weight distribution purposes.
We thought it would be smart too put me as far back as possible while still being able to reach the pedals.The custom steering column helped with this also.
I appreciate the kind word's and want to emphasis Kurt and the staff at W2W came up with the plan for this car.I'm just paying the bill.![The Jester](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif)

So how many man hours have we got into this? Will this car have a shot at the Riddler award? Can I buy a front row ticket to see it at the show? I'll bet it'll have a constant swarm of bees (car nuts) around it.

DAMN Dave!!!
After looking at these pics I need to go have a smoke.....SWEET!
Then I think I'll go drive my POS into a tree.
So what's the goal, hanging with John Force, or beating Steve's 69 in a car show?

Ronnie Dukes convertible was more tricked out than my car and he didn't win either.

So yes, the 3/4th stages could be used for vacuum, but any scavenge stage is going to add to the vac that is already created

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said about the workmanship and beauty
of this project.
I'm awaiting a video and more photos of the completed car!
P.S. This thread would be half the length if we stopped quoting every pic
and full initial story!
