thanks for the history on that car and that great shot! Keeps me motivated to get this thing on the ground soon.
as for updates, I had a "revelation" of how I would like to mount one oil cooler and shift the radiator way off center for overall weight balance and preferential airflow to the oil cooler, so I ordered a CBR radiator to move the outlets from the right to left side, put the filler directly on the radiator, and get rid of that laid forward design from the Porsche and do a standard, upright radiator. Same size, just relocating outlets mostly. Chunk of change to do that, but frankly it will be overall better to just go new in this case. THat should be on my doorstep Friday. I have the fuel cell mounting in place with a steel "blast plate" welded in under it over the transaxle in case that should let go, and have an empty Penske shock on order and should hopefully be here Friday as well to test run it at all four corners thru range of motion. Assuming I haven't stepped on my ding-ding and that all works out, I could have the car sitting on the ground with steel tubes in place of the shocks by next weekend. I am a little concerned tho' that the shock mount is going to want to bind with the rocker so I have fingers and toes crossed that is not the case. That would monkey wrench things if that is true.
assuming the radiator shows up Friday I will try to post some update pics this weekend.
