I decided to do a tow hook while I have everything
open in front. Kind of like a Mean Streets copy but with more
offset since the Birds grille is different
Added one more vertical brace and a tie to the lower glass nose
as things were flexing slightly... I figured I needed the support for
the added piece I put on the spoiler
Almost done with one of the braces... cleaned up
the cut inner fenders... got myself into doing some
body work on them and finally said good enough.... its
a race car
Hope to drive it this weekend and see if anything moves
around before I try to fit the hood
Finally took the bird out for spin after playing
with Can Am cars yesterday. Good to get it back
on the road. Need to get the front sway bar mounts redone
then start on fitting the new glass hood. Several weeks
before running Crows Landing
I finally got to fixing the nutserts that were loose on the
front swaybar... fabricated some backing plates on both sides
and had to make access holes in the frame on the side where
the Power Steering is bolted thru
Finished backing plate for the passenger side
I then had to shim the sway bar to get the bind
out of it.. it took some time to get it right
Then I made some curved plates to keep the sway
bar from moving left and right.. I had this issue in
the past and hitting the frame with one side is not good
Might be a different car.. but I could not tell much on my test run
Getting ready to Autocross it so all that is left is the hood
but I could run without
