56 Vette Road Racer Update

[mfain]

New firewall and motor mounts going in. Man-law #256 says you can't move the motor too far back (#255 says the motor can never be too big). For those of you in Finland, that isn't snow on the ground -- it's 107 degrees in the garage. That's ground-up fiberglass that somehow didn't end up on me. On a more serious note, I built the new firewall using a high-quality marine grade polyester resin that has a flame inhibitor in it. You can hold a torch to it, and it will "consume" the glass until you remove the heat source, then the flames go out instantly. Not as good as 14 ga. steel, but not bad for fiberglass.
