Well it has been a busy summer with the kids out of school.
Went golfing at Beech Mountain in NC. That is the 10th tee box with about a 400 ft drop to the fairway http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psteogqxio.jpg Went to Clearwater Beach, Fl for a family vacation http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0mkpccsu.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psurxpikwm.jpg Camping trip to Pisgah National Forest http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psrajndxak.jpg Chelsea and PSG http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps602knfgp.jpg and capped it off with the Optima event in Charlotte http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...pspbnpmm3f.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...pss8lzj8wc.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psopn7ynf2.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2lypad2q.jpg and bought my son a car http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...pskjwvhwak.jpg |
Time for some updates
Getting steering column in place and driver position http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psnaukyuty.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psurnjvu1v.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psjy858ys2.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7s9pbku9.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psyuaprbhs.jpg |
Had to move a couple of tubes on the headers for clearance and also rolled the rack back for a better u-joint angle.
http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psua1goww2.jpg After the steering shaft was final, Jim fabbed up a mount for my pedal box. It is made where I can change the pedals front to rear instead of moving the seat. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...pseiqtywsz.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psnsejfe10.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psrpwrqvb4.jpg And yes he did mill the mount http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2xgk6lkm.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psxylosafe.jpg |
From there, Jim moved onto getting the exhaust routed. He had to drop the intermediate collectors 2 inches to get them under the car and he still had to do a small mod on the floor. Those headers are off a cup car...Jimmie Johnson's 48 to be exact.

We are trying to keep as much heat away from the driver's side of the car and also keep the exhaust as high up in the car as possible for ground clearance.
http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psej56g4wn.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psbu2gzzm6.jpg Jim made the transition to oval tubing. Notice that he made a connection between the to oval pipes as a H pipe/balance tube. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...pslnksg608.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psy8rgacom.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3tazcn3m.jpg http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...psx69hvsuk.jpg |
