CC,

All of the items you discussed are all valid and important considerations. Thanks for the comments, it is something I have to go back and forth on because it will continue to pick at me. For now, I'll probably stuff it back as close to the firewall as possible and or reshape the firewall to retain pedal and AC space. Either way, I'll post a couple picks.

Thanks,

JE

I'll build it right after the Mid-Engine 356!

Well here are are some photos of the latest project. We are working on raising the floor so that it won't have a hump over the rear clip. Not sexy, but necessary. Enjoy and as always comments good and bad welcome.

Well the wheel tubs are stretched and the interior bed sides are sectioned to raise the bed floor. It's all tacked together. Now I just have to figure out how I want to attach the wheel tubs to the bed sides. I had to remove the stock bolt in flange to raise the tub and allow the wheel/tire to be moved out toward the wheel well lip. I'm considering welding it together? HMMMM The only reason I can see it was bolted in to begin with is for production reasons. Oh well, looks like I'll be laying awake at night some more to figure this out. Anyway, here is how it is coming together.







Once I figure the wheel tub mounting out, I can move on to building the bed supports and the fuel cell. I love progress and as always, thanks for looking!
