I would purchase a seat that you fit in.

What do you mean?

Thanks

The bar that goes across the front of the windshield isn't straight across between the A pillar bars. It is curved to match the contour of the roof line. Subtle, but top notch work.

Looking good. Looking forward to drive it....I'll take the CORSA seat. :D

I'm open if you know something I don't know. They have radius cages in alot of offroad sanctioning bodies so it must not be an issue there.

After searching around for a while, I was not able to find anything that specifically states this bar must be straight. It definitely looks awesome :thumbsup:

Tyler, I have been watching this build since it was at Wayne Dues shop till now & I'm so excited to see it at Ironworks moving forward. Keep up the great work & follow through with the dream.:thumbsup:

Tyler,

Any new pics to share?

Rodger teased me with 3 pictures today. Progress will come faster in the next month but we've been debating over the widebody for a while now. Do we add very obvious flares? Do we widen the car? I spoke to John McBride about this and he sketched out some ideas; I had a hard time picking any of them and ultimately picked none of them. While the flares in my head would be as amazing as the ones on the Porsche GT3R Hybrid (Google image THAT car.) when seen on paper it just didn't make me fall in love.

Starting sketch (based off my old black 68 Camaro) with factory track width:

Flare concept number one:

Flare concept 2 and 2A:

So we decided after all the back and forth, all the idea and reference material we are just going to wide body the car vs flare the wheel wells.

Rodger had the boys get out the sander and cut off wheel.

Then they cut out the 'eyebrow' and placed it where it needs to be to clear the meats.

A few more cuts and then lots of patching, metal working, and grinding and we will be able to set it down on all 4 wheels for the first time in 10 years. I need to get my Sparco seats and Woodward column so that we can position me in the car and then the last of the floor/firewall can be built. I hope to have it a roller by spring.

ABOUT TIME:_paranoid

Looking good!

The First flare concept (the blue one) looks really kool! I think you should go with that one. It works well with the front end and rockers. Would be my choice.......

Great Project and glad to see it moving again.....
