Your car is going to be crazy fast. Is the downforce difference between wheel well exit vs hood exit something to consider?

Tony, you gotta stop going through the extra effort to fix the replies to the top. It's a disruption to how we are used to reading around here. :/ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


We won't know how fast Chris' is for a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But dang hey, that's some sweet metal work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Sway bar reinforcement all mocked in and ready for welding.
I understand I'm not alone in needing to trim the MadDog reinforcement plate to get an optimal fit.
You can see it's a bit proud of the edge on the lower inside areas, front and rear.

And I couldn't resist putting the bar in. The Elephant products are SOOOOOO beautiful... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
Click on the pic if you'd like to take a closer look.

This is the sort of part that makes the rest of the car look really tired. Granted, it's in need of blasting, etc. But seeing this sort of fancy/functional item in place helps keep me motivated.

This morning started with me final fabricating, tapping and fitting the seat belt support bosses. All set for welding.

Let's mock it in with the seat in place, just to be sure everything fits...
(And yes, I'll close up the back side of the threaded boss.)

Slide the seat ALL the way back and...
We have clearance, Clarence!
You gotta love how the stock shape of the belt guide holds things forward and perfectly suits the retractor being recessed into the lower fire wall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Neat little detail that no one will even notice...

Sit and buckle up. I'm not sure the belt is long enough stock, but the belt can be replaced.

Yep, I've already talked w/Seat Belt Planet and they can add length, if I need it.
