Not yet, but for sure I'm crossing Lotus drivers off the list

315's with slicks are definitely plenty. Think about how much more weight I have then you back there with the leaf springs, Fays 2 watts (35 lbs) and I cant get the rear to slide (with the Sutton secret sauce shocks).
295's up front if you can manage would be great also but Dave Brown and Karl Chicca have been doing pretty darn well with 275's and I imagine they're shock set up contributes to that.
335 in the rear with 200 tread wear tires I completely understand due to the amount of power these Optima Challenge cars lay down but I'm under the impression that this will be your track car and not auto x.
And again, why spend money on a custom tank when you can pic up a fuel cell. Aluminum fuel cell would be my preference as my 8 gallon steel is 26 lbs and I'm pretty sure you will go bigger.

Good idea, but why so soon? Those who are available now will be long retired by the time this thing hits a track...

Voice of experience right there

You don't have to add more tire just getting rid of unecassary fluff and making room for the unknowns. Exhaust, fuel system and I know it's always nice to have the just in case space.

Just saying it's easy to do now and why not push that tub out to the new frame rail.


Don't worry, these guys know what they are doing and should have it buttoned up sooner than you think.

You know he's not happy unless his hair is on fire.

Looks good. Was there a reason you didn't fully remove the old "frame rails", and push the new ones out the the edge of the wheel tubs? It looks like the rail bends would have fit nicely with the floor if they were a few inches out. For Ron S., what sort of effect would having the top bar offset on the rearend, but angled toward the center of the car have on handling? Weird roll steer? I'm trying to think of packaging in a 2nd gen Camaro, with a rear seat, maybe split bottoms like a 4th gen Camaro uses.
