Sorry for the major delay. DMC has been in the process of getting things finished up. My plan and hopes are to be testing in the end of July or early August. If all goes well and everything looks good their may even be a small chance that it will make the NMCA race in Norwalk August 23-25. As of right now I have that in my plans. I will only make it if we have a handle on the whole deal. I have no reason to rush it since I have waited this long. If I don't my plan is to be at the Indy NMCA October 10th. Being the race is 2 miles from my house I have no reason not to be at it. As long as it is together it will be at the race.
Lot's have been going on. My time has been really focused on my Pro Stock Bike and I have not had a chance to do anything. DMC has sent me some pictures here and their but phone pictures really don't come out to good and are not worth posting. I do have some older one's that I never got around to getting up so here they are.
The last ones were of the ice tank and not complete. Well here is what it will look like with the cap.
Also the one rear shot of the car with the parachutes that I posted was a phone shot so here is one taken with that is a little better.
The DMC crew also worked on getting the engine bay area buttoned up. You saw the pasenger side got the oil tank recessed into it and he woked on getting the drivers side cleaned up a little so it would look as nice. The only thing that was still needed to be done at the time of the picture was the cut away for the drivers side exhaust. Here is what it looked like with the top done.
Passenger Side with the exhaust cut out done.
So the next step was to start on the exhaust. I wanted to do a duel exhaust with a small hidden bull horn so to have the proper ground & tire clearance the fire wall needed to have the cut out for the pipe. They made a stainless Y out of the turbo. Sorry for the picture quality
And then started on the rest of the system. As you can see we went with aluminum tube to save weight. I only have one picture of it getting done. Dennis has a ton more pictures that I haven't gotten yet so when he sends them I will update it.
The engine bay was just about finished but still needed one more thing done to help clean it up. With the current set up we were going to need to run a bunch of hoses for cooling etc... from the front of the engine so DMC made this killer cross over set up to allow us to only use 1 or 2 hoses instead of needing 4.
The next step was to get the front end mounted up. We are making it so the fenders and nose can be removed to make it easier to work on. Here is the nose getting mocked up
Moving onto the inside. That is in the process of getting buttoned up and finished. They got the last few things in and done.
Break pedal & Racepak Dash is in
Shifter is mounted and trans tunnel is finished
Well that about all I can do for tonight. I will try to update the post with mounting of the electronics etc... and exhaust stuff In the next couple days. Thanks Ed
