Then I sprayed the parts with high heat paint and hung them in front of my trusty Reznor heater to bake.

This is starting to look like progress!

Very nice!

Hey Dana... got a tig machine? Can you weld aluminum? My Audi has a crack in the oil pan.

I finally finished this semester yesterday so I decided to spend some of my new found freedom working on the car. I wanted to start nailing down details like exhaust but I had to get the engine in a fixed position before I made any more progress on the drivetrain. I fabbed up an engine mount cross member, this one is almost identical to the Renegade one I used to run on my car, just the ends are at a slightly different angle.

Here is an under side view of the engine mount setup.

And a shot from the top, I am going to weld in threaded mounting holes into the chassis but everything is just hose clamped together until I can pick some up.

Dana,

I'm most impressed young Jedi...

Maybe I should just rack, stack and tow my 2 out to Colorado for skiing.

Hmmm, maybe drop by for a cup of cocoa, 3-weeks of body and chassis work and take in the big skies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

2nd thought - I'll just freeze in the deep south and dream a little dream...

I had an hour or so to work this morning and pieced together an f-ing huge exhaust. I wanted to use oval tubing but since the exhaust had to follow a kind of complex path I decided to fabricate it out of 3" round tubing with a 1" spacer in the middle, the equivalent area is about that of 3.5" round tubing. Once I have a little more time I will weld it up, add an O2 sensor bung, and finish it smooth.
I think this should flow pretty well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). I will run this portion of the exhaust when I test the bare chassis, then eventually add on a full (but still muffler-less) exhaust once the body is on.

An hour or so? You make me sick Dana, I haven't accomplished that much all year.

Thanks! I used to build headers for Renegade so fitting tubing goes pretty quick for me, I can't wait to hear how this sounds, the turbo is going to scream!

Looking forward to seeing how you'll set up the cooling system. Is that next?

I am going to wrap up the rear end first, amputate the back of the tub, then tackle the front end with the cooling system. I am going with my Renegade radiator mounted in the front of the car with a custom shroud.

Does that mean we get to see the diffuser in place soon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Hi Dana, I've been following your thread for quite a while (lurking) to say the least. Whats the chance of you making it to the WCR in June ?
At the rate you are going I think its possible.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Everyone needs to chime in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

There is no way the body will be done but I am not opposed to driving a bare chassis!
I may show up looking like this:

That would actually be pretty cool. Not sure about about a flathead for your car though.
