Few updates, been swamped with customer cars, so mine takes a back seat as usual!

Had to look back at what I have already posted, and left off at the fuel cell cage. Made the hold down structure:




Then started building the seat structure, which requires a few floor mods:



And at that same time, fit the trans and engine. The driveshaft doesn't clear the top of the loop, so I have to cut it out and extend it.





Which required a new tunnel:

Then built the seat structure and seat mounts:

Built the oil tank mount:




And the column mount. Of course a bar is right where I need to mount the clamps to center the column to the seat, so made this standoff piece:






Then on to the pedal mount:





I made the mount will multiple holes, slugged and welded, to allow fore/aft adjustment. You'll notice the column is "inside" the mount with the brake pedal to the left side. This is to allow me to spread the pedals a little wider and keep the accelerator far enough away from the trans tunnel to clear my big ass feet:




The line on the yellow tape is the seat centerline. I set the column and brake pedal to this line. I have the pedals spread for my size 12 4E clown feet!

A few things I've had machined.

The first is the ABS tone wheels to fit on the RSRT and Speedway Engineering hub:

Rear hubs:






And some wheel spacers. I had Ron supply dimensions for the hub bore to my wheel manufacture when they were building my wheels, but unfortunately he provided the spec for steel wheels. This left me with a rear wheel hub bore about .030" from being hub centric for the drive plate . Talked to Speedway Engineering about turning down the drive plate hub. They told me I could take a 1/4" off without affecting strength! Only needed about .030, so had the drive plate turned down and a steel sleeve pressed on. This solved two problems. Number one, it makes the wheel hub centric, and number two, it allowed me to have hub centric spacers made, but to also pilot the wheel with the maximum thickness spacer. No this wasn't a cheap fix.

I'll post up some more later if Photobucket will play nice and let me load some more photos.

Thanks, I'm sure I copied it from something I've seen!

Don't forget the fade.

It's Florida and humid as hell. When I finish a section or after I make a part to be welded in, I put it in epoxy.
