:thumbsup: Cool build.

Have you put some seats in it for mock up? Tunnel looks big.

I love the ITB's, they are really slick looking.. The race setup used a box with the filter on top. I haven't decided exactly how, but I will change that and leave them exposed.

You car is coming along great. It looks like you have the engine set back to about the same distance as mine. How much legroom did you give up? Mine is kinda like a Cobra's tunnel now.

Thanks, I just wanted to try something different. As popular as these cars are becoming, I would hate to see my twins show up every where I go...

Yea, we've put a seat in it. I did have Chris drop the tunnel some from the initial mock-up. It fills the space in nicely now.

That will look sweet if you can keep them visible. I am more excited to hear yours run than my own. :yes: I wish you were closer so I could come by and check it out so for now the pics will just have to do.

On my car, I moved the drivers seat & cage back about 3-4" so I didn't lose much legroom.

Yea, I can't wait to hear it too! Hopefully by next spring I'll have it running, but everything seems to take twice as long as I have thought so far...

Are you planning on running a rear seat? I am (my wife hates 2 seaters), but it is becoming more and more difficult to fit everything in.

Make sure to have the camera rolling the first time it's fired so I won't have to fly up there. :lol:


I gave up on the back seat idea since the cage and upper link make for an impossible fit. I can almost guarantee after one "spirited" ride in the car the wife won't want anything to do with it anyway. :lol:

That's probably true. She gets nervous when I drive over the rumble strips...

Aurora V8....IRS...Bags....Nova....Youre the man!!!

Yep!

I'd have to agree that its nice and refreshing to see something other than a 69 Camaro with an LS and 6 speed (I know what i'm talking about !) Its just cool to see new stuff and ideas, it gets your mind moving.

Nice work too! :lateral:

Lead.

Thanks guys. I hope it turns out as nice as the concept I have in my head...

A few! I made a visit Saturday to finalize the details that Chris would be providing in the build. Here are a few shots.

The bags setup is together!

Checking to see if 6' 3" will fit into it...
