Whose subfr is that? The cutouts in the cross member, is that for weight savings or turbo clearance?
Keep going buddy!

Front sub is Martz chassis. I think it's got to be one of the lightest ones out there? There really isn't much to it and since I had it from another build I figured I would use it. It does flex quite a lot during mock ups so we decided to tie the cage into it and it's solid now!!! Cutouts you see are going to be for the turbo crossover pipe as I wanted to try and run it under and through the frame so I can go around the a/c compressor.
Ok back to putting up some pics! These pics show intercooler and rad finished and polished. Front suspension powder coated and going together with Baer track claw brakes. I jumped the gun putting the front sheet metal on since i still need to paint the backsides of the fenders. I still have a ton of work without fenders on to do but i just couldn't wait to see some more of the car together!

Have you checked your turning radius with a wheel on the front? Only reason I am asking is the strut rod looks way out there from the pics.
Yes strut rod is way out there and is going to be a problem if i want to run a big tire! No 275s on the front of this car! I did my mock ups with a 255 on a 8" rim and its pretty good but does touch the frame the exact same time it hits the strut rod. We will see how she turns?
