Love the flat fabbed firewall with no "stuff" on it.

That's the angle of dash, but there is a Marquez cluster that goes in that hole that puts the gauges at a viewable angle. We have done a few of these dashes they work pretty good. The top of the dash is supposed to fit up to the windshield flange. The dash makes it looks modern and is pretty light weight.

Thanks just trying to do our job.

Nice work!

That's awesome on the cage---love how tight it's tucked---what a sweet setup. Looks like you spilled some of that "Talent Spray" on your guys.

Thanks for posting Rodger - the OLC2 project has been coming along really well over the last couple of months!

The cage is being built to FIA Specs following the NASA Rally Sport rule set - this should make it legal for just about anything we're planning on doing. One Lap (no cage rules), SSCC up to Unlimited Tech, Targa Newfoundland, The Chihuahua Express, Pikes Peak, and just about anything in between. It's about as tight as Rodger could get it and with the foundation done now the rest will be coming together.

The engine setback is huge and is presenting a few challenges but nothing that I think will be an issue. We've put together a one-off set of stainless header that should do the trick but steering bits need some thought.

The dash is a lightweight version of Marquez's dash that he built for us. We'll be running it along with some half height door panels and a RacePak IQ3 dash.

Tires will probably be the same as the OLC.R - 325/30s in the back and 305/30's up front. 325's will probably fit but potentially pose issues with the ABS.

Looking fantastic guys.

James, I'm going to have to pay closer attention to your build. You're becoming like a junior Mark Stielow. For most of us, cutting edge is what Stielow built five years ago, and the OLC2 definitely defies that convention. It is clear a ton of thought has gone into this car. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out what you did on the original OLC
