Great score on the dry sump set-up!! I know what you mean about the budget being cleaned out, my crappy Nova spit shined my wallet LOL Should be in color tomorrow, at least it will be nicer looking :G-Dub:

Nice stuff there Ron. I am sure it will just "bolt on" like everything else on your car. :lol:

That is really why I bought this set up, but it will probably kick me in the nuts like everything else.

Got the one fender roughed in with the 18" loaner wheel, and drop spindle. I'll bet I made a minimum of 20 different revisions to get the flares this small, and they're still humungus. This is absolutely as petite a flare as you are going to get when running a 335 on the front and still have 2.5" of up travel at full lock. You have about a credit card thickness between the tire and the flare at full lock. The sucky part is tomorrow I have to do the other side.

I know what I'm going to pay to have the molds made and a couple sets of fenders and bumpers laid up. I can't even imagine what it would cost to have that stuff done in C/F. Would be cool though. :G-Dub:

Because we are running the same subframe more or less, thought Dave might want to see how I tied the down bars to the suspension mounts, and cage, so I took a couple of pics. Just past where the firewall will be I put a Y in the down bars, sending one side to the A pillar bar, and the other to the dash bar, and trans tunnel bar. I also tied a bunch of gussets to the UCA mounts, I'll probably go back and drill some holes in the gussets later to make them more pleasing to the eye. Really didn't want to but ended up mounting the hood hinges to the down bars also.
