Didn't the Blu Balz build hide the sump tank in the same place? I know I have seen a first gen build with the tank there. Great placement and very clean.

Actually, the 'shine boys came up with that one.

I think I remember Cris giving credit to Rodger from Ironworks for the perfect place to put the dry sump tank.

Can't wait to see this one come together Mark!

subscribing to this one as well... That little pink bunny has nothing on him. Mark truly does keep "going and going and going".........

Really enjoy seeing the progress you make Mark, thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Mark,

How much torsional stiffness do you think gets lost with the fiber front clip vs. the steel? That outer/inner steel fender combo seems actually quite rigid when bolted together. I've been thinking about retrofitting my '69 with the Anvil parts, partly for the weight and partly for the extra tire afforded by the new wider front fender they offer. But I'm thinking I'd want to add some downbar/crossbrace type structure?

Another great build to watch. Subscribed!

I poached these pictures off another sight of Anvils new fenders I've ordered.

Anyone use these parts yet and have any idea on the mass savings over steel?

I hope my parts fit like these.

Mark

Another awesome car! Thanks for sharing!

Only problem I see with the tank being under there.. how do you put oil into it? Remove the fender?

Surely an engineer like Mark can incorporate a remote fill and drain without too much trouble. Removing the fender does not sound very track savvy or user friendly.
