I also corner weighted the car again. I changed the transmission bell house from a stock Corvette aluminum unit to a steel scatter shield. Safety added over 40 lbs to the car. The aluminum bell housing I had on developed a crack.


I just ordered door glass for the car, so that is going in next.

Hi Brian,

50.4% left side weight & 49.6% right side weight is pretty dang close to 50/50. Sweet !

We achieve that 50/50 L/R balance in scratch built race cars because we can put stuff where ever. But that's often hard to do in production based cars. Good job.

I'll see you at T-hill.
