Finished the tail lights....I built the housings a while back, just installed the digital tail lights and painted the very first part for this car!! Put them in boxes and tucked away, don't expect I will see them again until next year during final assembly.
|
Nice job on the lights, heck the whole car !!
|
Nicely done

Excellent work John. Building and fitting custom stuff takes a lot of time and you are really getting a lot accomplished.

Fab'd up the inner fender lips. I epoxied them and a portion of the inside of the front fenders since the inner fender will ride up so close to the fender....I wouldn't be able to get any coating in there after their welded in. Once it's welded, I'll clean the weld up with a sanding rope and then use Eastwood's spray tube to get some primer on the seam, I'll coat the inside of the fenders with bed liner later.

I had these seat mounts cut out with a water jet. I know this voids the Cobra FIA cert. but I couldn't make their brackets work. I really wanted to have the option for more adjustment but in order to keep the seats as low as possible, I had to weld the mounts. Only end up with about an inch of forward/back and a bit of tilt. Wasn't expecting it would be so difficult to keep my head away from the cage.

Built the molds for the kevlar/fiber inner fenders.
Attachment 66797 I built the molds in place using some flooring underlayment and then shaped it with filler. For sure you wouldn't build anything but a one time/one off mold in this way. Attachment 66798 What....? PVC rollbars, hot glued in place aren't safe. Attachment 66800 The red paint is to help judge the depth of the white gelcoat. I'll do the laminating once the car is back on the rotisserie (soon) so I can turn it over, laminating overhead might be worse than welding overhead. Attachment 66799 |
Nice! This should be interesting to watch.

Cool way to mold inner fenders. Can't wait to see the results!

Seat Belt attachment points are done. All have Grade 8 nuts welded to 1/8" plate. I completely removed the factory attachment points on the tunnel side and created all new pieces. I left the factory points on the door side and then added my own plates and a new mounting point further back. All the plates are connected to the seat mounting tubes and/or the roll cage.
Attachment 66842 Attachment 66843 Attachment 66844 Attachment 66845 Attachment 66846 Fabbed up a channel for the fuel line and the brake line. I'll clean up all the welds and finish the rest once it's back on the rotisserie. Attachment 66847 Attachment 66848 |
This car is just incredible

My guess is the improved belt attachments are only about 400% better.... LOL
Nice work as we've come to expect from you! |

Here's the shoulder belt mounts, I'll TIG them later. Not sure if I'm going to need an upper seat brace to anchor the seat to the roll bar but if so, I can attach it to the bottom of the sleeves. We'll see how stiff the seats are on the track.

Looking really good. I’ll be keeping an eye on this to see how you run your fuel lines. I put the same channel in my floor right next to the DSE subframe connectors and an not real happy with how mine are routed currently.

I should have had the headers before I did the transmission tunnel. The American Racing Headers really tuck up tight to the floor. With the DSE subframe and the standard height spacers, there was only 1/4" clearance to the stock floor, no room for V-Bands or drive-train flex. So I redid the floors. Absolutely no complaints here as the ground clearance is fantastic, so....well worth a little extra work. Probably many other easier ways to skin this one if someone didn't want to redo the floors. including just putting the V-Bands further down the exhaust as the floor naturally gets higher a few inches back.
Highly recommend ARH, great people and the headers look/fit awesome. They were fantastic about helping me get the drivers side to fit with the way I did the steering column. Attachment 66939 Attachment 66940 Ready to put her back on the rotisserie to finish all the welding, the rear tubs and exhaust tips.....was kind of a perfect time to put the wheels on and let her stretch her legs for the first time with all the flares complete. Sitting a little low for real life. Attachment 66941 Attachment 66942 |
