Thanks Bryce!

Yeah Scott, I can't wait to see it with the wheels to, I believe the order got sent in on Monday so I should see them in 2 - 4 weeks. It will be like a big xmas present to myself, lol.

Scott, how is your project coming along?

Thanks,
Jon

Wow, took a little time to find this thread, looks like every body is making progress besides me, lol.

Well got a small update, me and my Dad finished the building the right side tub and it is ready to be welded in.

I bought a 22 gallon Fuel Safe Enduro cell and we started building the cage/mount for it. The cell is to tall to fit in the trunk so we are making the cell and the mount removable from the bottom.

We have to make some mounting brackets to bolt it to the panhard bar crossmember and to the rear frame rails and then add the bottom support rails.

Also, I bought a set of Tilton Racing firewall mount pedals, got a good deal using summit racing's coupons. This setup uses a two master cylinders and a balance bar that I will be adjusting by a Tilton remote adjuster that will be mounted on the transmission tunnel.

I should be seeing my wheels some time this coming week, the car is getting pretty close to being a rolling chassis. Just have to finish the panhard bar setup and make the rear coilover mounts.

Thanks,
Jon

I understand Scott, the only problem is that I have not seen any updates on your camaro for awhile, lol.

The wheel tubs are finally done! Well at least for the fabrication part still need to clean them up and seal them, that will happen after most of the fab work on the rear is done. Seems like we have been working on these things forever.

Also, some progress on the fuel cell mount. Got the hole cut in the trunk, made and welded the front bolt on brackets. I still have to make the rear brackets, add bottom supports for the tank and 2 straps to hold the tank in. Do to the jackstands holding the rear of the car up, I will most likely finish this project after we get the panhard bar finalized (waiting on wheels) and get the main part of the roll cage in the car, so I can remove the stands to finish the mounts.

Heres some pics,

I didn't get my wheels this past week so I should see them in the next few days, I will try to get the tires mounted and mocked up on the car this weekend.

Thanks,
Jon
