Well the Monday update.

We removed alot of the interior junk and other questionable pieces. The Dog was not found in the car, He just follows me constantly hoping to get in the picture.







I'm debating how to do the windows, I want to do lexan, but the Optima Rules say the windows have to be "Operational". If we ran the roll up glass, I wonder what weighs more, the 67 vent window or the 68 full side glass.

I also think we will resheet the firewall to go to one panel of steel. We will also sink the Dry sump tank into the firewall to put more weigh behind the axle center line. We cut out the cowl vents duct work t loose some weigh. We also cut out the stock dash to build an aluminum unit.

We are down to 1535 lbs.

I'm waiting in the BFG tires to start fitting the 295/35/18 tires on the front. It looks like it will be tight but possible with full steering.
