Greg's Bubble top is progressing nicely. We have been working on some details as my guys are getting the sheetmetal together. We have set up a rough mock up of the chassis to fine tune the ride height we are looking for on this project. I have a few ideas to be able to make the car sit even lower and make the frame a bit stronger. So here is some of the basic mock up we started with. These are 19's and 20's. I'm entertaining running a 20" and 21" wheel combo so we don't have to custom make the 19" front. Plus I think we have left some of the traditional look behind with the vibe of the car and could go from 45 and 40 series tires to 35 and 30 and still not have the tires look like rubber bands.
Here is the start of the fuel tank we are building that will use the Vaporworks fuel system. We will be using the CTS-V fuel pump in the stainless tank with multiple fuel pick ups. We will be relocating the tank from underneath the car and in the way, up and into the trunk. It should be about 24 gallons if my math is correct.
These are the baffles
