Here are a couple pictures and a short video of the chassis strengthening and the front clip installation. There is still some extra bracing and plating to do but progress is being made.

We need more space for the tires!

I just received my final renderings on my car. I am really happy with the direction that this project has gone. It has been a 6 year journey that should come to an end in the next year.  

The suspension modifications should be done in the next month or so. After that I will bring the car home to mount oil coolers and other items like that. Once that is done it will head back to the body shop for mud work and paint.

I can finally see the end in sight and it will look almost exactly like the renderings. I can’t wait!

The shock mounts are going in now along with some reinforcement to the mounting point. This is going to be one tight engine compartment. Feels like we are trying to stuff 10 lbs of s$&@ into a 5 lb bucket. I am going to have to get creative with the AC compressor fittings as well as the PS return line.

The bracing will soon come out to make room for the engine.
