Hey Guy's. I got a few updates. The car has been moving a long nicely at DMC and is the final stretch. I plan on driving out to the shop in 2 weeks to go and pick the car up. Once I get the car I will have to finish some minor detail stuff then tear it down for the final time and do some paint & powder coating. I then can work on getting all back together. DMC was going to do most of that but I would like to so I know the ins-and-outs of it. I then will wire it up and hopefully have it all done before I have to start my race season. If all goes well I would like test the car in Feb. We all know how that stuff goes so all I'm worried about is getting it and working at the best pace to get get it done.
I do have some pictures that are a little older and will update with other one's once I get them. Dennis has a bunch of pictures but hasen't had the time to send them over and as I get them I will post them. I got a buch of cell phone pictures but they aren't very good quality and I will wait until I get the nice one's.
Well anyway Dennis and the guys mounted the oil tank and rather then hanging it off the front like everyone does he wanted to hide it in the back by the fire wall and keep the front clean. Sounds simple but when Dennis ment he was going to hide it he ment it. Out came the plasma cutter and they cut away some of the fire wall to french it into it. This will allow the tank to be mounted low and maintain lot's of tire clearance and ground clearance and not to mention look clean. It will also help with the exhaust clearance since it will run behind the front tire also. During the process he had to cut up the tank a little to but I'm sure it will look just fine when done. Well anyway here are some of the pictures of the process.
Next DMC worked on getting the inside buttoned up. He need to do the steering column & mount the dash.
Once that the dash was in they moved to the engine bay area. He made the gas tank and mounted it in the left front fender area.
Well that is all I have at this time and hope to have some of the intercooler / cold side plumbing and the exhaust stuff to post next week a long with the nose and a bunch of other misc stuff. Once I get them I will post them up.
Thanks EK
