Do you make mounts or brackets to mount your Recaro seats? Also, are you using 6pt bits? Where have you found it best for the mounting points?

We make the adapter from the stock seat pan to the Recaro seat tracks. I’ll try to find a photo.

For the sub belt we modify the seat pan to allow for it to be bolted in.

Thank you for the reply. I am absolutely going to be using that method. Super clean, simple, and it works !!!

On a side note, whoever is doing the welding on the car, is an artist !!!

Shortened the tank? How much will it hold now?

We will add an extra tank to get the capacity back up to 10 quarts.

Yes we had to shorten to fit.

Mark, how level is the car when the sub frame connectors are installed on jackstands??

I have mine within an 1/8 of an inch, was wondering how the guys set that up,

Mark,

Why the change in tank locations this time?

Attempting to keep it simpler. Doing the dry sump tank in the cowl is very cool, but it is a ton of fabrication. Matt and Tom did it like this on Tom’s orange 69. It looked cool and I had a stock 2008 Z06 dry sump tank laying around from an old project, so we did it that way.

This is a cruiser build and not a track monster so not worried about weight distribution.
