Just a crazy thought. Maybe this thread could be about a car build.

I can’t wait to see this thing on track. Unfortunately for me based on the specs of this build and Ron’s tuning all I will see is the rear bumper.

Ron, is this being built as a single seat with the drivers area enclosed with sheet metal and the exhaust and what nots hidden on the passenger side?

Also...as you start a project like this, have you got a set of prints that Randy works off of (I’m guessing you do)that are detailed down to the last fastener?

Looking forward to learning how this all goes together and what aero will be used.

Hey Dan !

Single seat? Yes
drivers area enclosed with sheet metal and the exhaust and what nots hidden on the passenger side? No
There will be "room" for a passenger seat, but there won't be one. That's where Greg's cool suit/cool air box goes.

Yes we have a set of blueprints that outline every detail of the car, that goes along with a written build plan "checklist". I won't post the "detailed" blueprints, but I will post general prints here in a while.

Yes, I actually spec every fastener, material & thickness, from the cage & frame to different sheetmetal thicknesses used in different areas.

For Greg Weld's 70 Fastback Mustang Track-Warrior ... we had a custom body built that is 6" wider! It's 3" wider on each side, right where the greenhouse (roof & pillars) meet the body.

This was done by hand with fiberglass veterans with experience doing custom bodies.

Here is a progression of the body being built.

This thing is so cool, when you have a car guy who knows what he wants, and will spare no expense, and a builder that knows all the most exotic parts in the industry. Its a formula for a epic race car, with of course a muscle car skin. It doesn't hurt that I'm super partial to Mustang wide Bodies.

That trans........YUM
