I would be afraid of them getting doused with water off the tire when driving in rain.

A+++ for getting them out of sight though.

Awesome idea Jody

The car is a true inspiration for many of us

I don't think the tire will turn that far to have the water hitting that area; definitely not driving down the road. I guess if your oil pan and starter gets wet in the rain then this would too, but I don't remember mine having that issue.

Just amazing work Jody. I hope to see it in person.

thanks guys.

I know the coils are not the ideal location, but other than a deep puddle 10+" I think they're fine. They're fully shielded from water from the front of the car by the crossmember. I may look at alternatives later, but for now they'll stay. This is not a rain car by any means, it's a daily driver good weather car. If I get stuck in rain it should be fine, but I'll avoid it if possible...........

Remember Cleveland to Kalamazoo last year? Great weather if you're a duck.

The coils are pretty strong, I would think that as long as they are not getting soaked with water they will be fine. You can always put some silicone around all the connections if need be.
