To be honest we are not sure. My goal was to have it come in at 2900 ready to go down the track. I would hope and like to think it should make it no issue. I'm thinking we will end up having to add 500lbs to get legal at most races. My thought process was to build it once as light as we can so we never have to go and find a way to remove some more. I still can change the doors but I thought having power windows would be cool.
Thanks

Well I have some more picture updates to post. In the last set I didn't post any of the front clip off the car so I thought I could start with some so you can see the mounting set-up.
Here it is. We also will have the headlights mounted to the nose of the 2 upright tubes behind the lights but they were not on at the time of the pictures but it will allow you to get the idea.
Next thing was getting some color onto the main body. I wanted to keep the whole engine bay area the same color as the main body so it looks clean. We could have made tubes black and the firewall and some other body parts blue but I thought it would look much cleaner this way. Here is how it turned out.
Next was to start dressing the engine and getting it ready to put into it's home.
For most of the bolted on parts in the engine bay and front suspension I went with a black gloss powdercoat but it will have some items that will be a darker silver to help break it up a little and add some color. Here are a few shots of the engine sitting in between the frame rails.
Well guys this is all I have at this point in time. I hope to have a few more for you throughout this coming week but with the holidays it may be hard to get a bunch more done and up. I was planning on picking the car next week but as you can see we are a little behind but the light is bright at the end of the tunnel. The guys at DMC will be pushing hard to get buttoned up 100% in the coming weeks and as I get pictures you will get updates. Our goal is to have the engine bay, interior & wiring 100% together by the first week of Jan and the car on the ground rolling by Jan 18th. The only thing from that point will be the final paint on the outside to blend the front clip and back half of the shell so it all matches and looks like new. Stay tuned and as it progresses hopefully I can post it up.
Happy holidays
