More build update photos ...

Feel free to ask questions about any part of the build.


NiCopp brake lines go through frame with special 2" long bulkheads.


You can see all the triangulation & braces in the engine bay. Most folks don't realize this is where the most force & flex happens. When this area is rigid ... the tires see the FULL load of the force & create optimum grip. Any deflection is this area REDUCES tire loading & grip.


Body bolted to the chassis just for mock up.


If you pay close attention to the body mods, you can see how aero smooth this body is & how clean the airflow is over the roof & too the massive rear wing we'll run.


Firewall mock up, before stepping the sheetmetal. Firewall, floor & rear bilkhead are are STEEL, for increased fire protection. We seal every seam with a special fire retardant 3M product.


Dash mock up. (It will be capped on the ends & mount to the final X door bars once they are installed).


Firewall sheet metal in place.


More firewall sheet metal.


Interior sheet metal showing the trans tunnel.
Notice the U-shaped tube that the steering column mount clamps to.
This clamp is easy to adjust to move the steering column/wheel up or down.


Rear bulkhead sheet metal & rear deck sheet metal being mocked up.


Different angle


Basic dash before Autometer digital dash & style added.


Better angle of rear deck sheet metal.
The three tabs on the right are for the seat & harness mounts
