When we last left off, Mike Tolle had the install measured out and the cross member located in place. I had ordered the Autoweld frame rails and really they could not help tell me which ones I needed, only after a bit of discussion about intended use and the car already has DSE mini tubs and subfr connectors installed their parallel rails should work. This is what we ended up with:

You can see the fit. I don't much care, this is not a 100 point restoration. What I will need to do is get a custom tank. I'll make that decision later, but a fuel cell is very much on the table. More industrial strength pics:

Here's a look inside the car where the main hoop is:

That's all for now. I'm pretty sure there's more progress, so I'll start bugging Hot Sauce to go get me some pics!

:cheers:

Looks stout Ron. :thumbsup:

I don't see a problem with the fitment. Needed to go with the taller frame rails for the lower ride height and this is a race car anyways. How many times did we go back and forth and you telling me you weren't going to swap out the oem frame rails. Guess that's another point for me. Ha Ha.

Glad to see you went the RIGHT direction and the progress. :thumbsup:

Yep neither do I. Public website, so I thought I'd get ahead of that. For the record, I also said I wasn't gonna F with the pretty turnk sheet metal. Two points for you, Gae.
