Thanks Rich! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

I'm sure a little trim or roll will take care of any issues...if there are any that is. The reason I ask is that sometimes pics dont really show true fitment.

Looks killer, you have to be stoked!!

Well when we started the wheel mock up we were going to run the 315 like every one else and I had told Rich that. I wanted to get the wheels before I put the 335 idea out there. The rear wheel clearance is very close, the closest part is the rear lower shock mount with the coilover end on it from the "G" bar, we have about .375 but that is from the rim, the tire clears it totally at the ride height setting we are using, With a different suspension we could have moved the back space in just a tick would have been the best clearance since the tub and lip well. All we have to do is shorten the fender lip and form it to go up so it is just as strong if not stronger then stock. It is close but with the mods we are doing to the rear shock crossmember and the mini tubs we made it will work great.

RICH you nailed the wheels buddy, I know you were like a kid in a candy store when you were choosing, But The Force is with you on this choice. Oh and once we get the front clip dialed in we can remove the wood spacer blocks in the front control arms and set the ride height even. The plan is coming togther well.

The guys in my shop that have done a bunch of work on this car are showing there skills well. Brycen with the min tubs, front valance, Intercooler and exhaust. Erik with the Roll cage. Henry with the dash mods and smooth cowl and floor pockets for the exhaust. Jason with the Lay out of the engine bracket system and Procharger and the begining of the interior working.

Happy Thanksgiving guys

Rodger

Thanks for the info Rodger!

Rich, I forget. What color is the car going? Do you have a rendering or someone working on one?

Wow they really look great on there. Nice choice indeed.

I think you said you are going with some kind of dark grey/silver right?

Rodger, you and the guys have treated my project as if it were your own from the day it arrived. I know you guys treat every customer the same but it feels like special treatment to me.

Please let Brycen, Erik, Henry and Jason know how much I appreciate their professionalism and dedication to the project.

I hope everyone at Ironworks and Lateral-G has a wonderful Thanksgiving.




Rich

Alrighty then;

Rodger came up with a cool idea for the dash and cowl. Rodger knows that I'm a pilot and how much I love to fly so, he decided to design the dash and bring the cowl through the window to have a cockpit feel.

Here are a few pics of the progress;





Chip Foose he's not... But you get the idea.
