The trunk is looking nice! Bummer on the tires being tight, hopefully you can work that all out without too much trouble.

Thank you. We shall see. I need to get a 315 so I can get the front mocked up and see what all I'm going to have to do. Then I'll know the direction for the rear.

Going back a step to the bumpers......are u going to fab sheetmetal brackets
(irons) or cf?......surely not the originals?

Nice work on the English wheel and bead roller!!! Looks like GM made those trunk panels

Thank you, I was real happy how the english wheel stuff come out. I was even happier when they were really close to matching enough that no one will ever notice once its painted lol.

On the rear bumper, I modified the 3 stock middle mounts to fit the steel bumper I built as a mold buck. Once I find them in one of the many totes of parts I have my plan it to bolt them to the car then panel bond the bumper to them and then cover them in carbon so they are sandwiched in the bumper. After that stuff is done I'll decide if I need the side mounts or if its stiff enough to not need them.

Lots done Saturday. Seat montes are done, factory corvette floor cut and fit ready for finishing. The cut sections will be bonded back together and then they’ll all be sealed with 12k carbon.

AC mounted and fit the old firewall bracket fit the new chassis better than I thought it would. Lots of clearance everywhere for ducting and electronics.

I got started on the new firewall with a bunch of thinking and drilling out spot welds. I have a good plan in mind for it to tie everything together and keep the wipers out of the car and not totally have engineer something to make them work.

Hey AJ, I saw your question on Instagram about stretching the rear quarters. I used the techniques in this thread:

I forgot all about that thread, thank you. The car you did came out amazing. I think I'm going to end up pulling the trigger on the rear wide body as of right now I can only fit a 10" rim and a 295 and thats not very appealing to me. My trick is I've already built a bumper to the car and I have NACA ducts in the quarters that all line up with the doors. I may have to cheat it a lot.
