Getting seams like this perfectly flat takes some time. The fit was already super tight, so most of the tacks are autogeneous. I still use filler on the weld, and lately I’ve been using a “backwards” travel direction. I just pedal pulse 7-10 dabs at a time right to left, with each grouping...

Thanks man. Really do appreciate those kind words. As you know from your build, there is a lot of designing parts in free-floating 3D space and that just burns a bunch of test and fit time to get it “right.” Videos come out again starting in September, and some more in February. Views go waaay...

I’m spending 3/4 of my time prepping another vehicle for a show in November, but I’ve been squeezing in time for the car. Setting driver position, steering rack location, header clearance, and firewall fab all have to happen at about the same time. Test seat, test wheel, test column drop, but...

Much appreciated. That cowl is designed to *barely* clear that exact blower. The plan is to build an NA motor, but there's room for more if 750ish hp gets boring. David

Finished the cowl and added some detail to the firewall. The other side will have a similar profile with accommodations for steering shaft and hydraulic reservoirs. David

HPTuners is a common hardware/software used to make modifications to the OEM ECU, including tuning for cats. David

Car seems to move around pretty well. Congrats on the successful run. David

Took a bit, but I found a way this panel would flow. Tricky shapes, but fun to make. Each of these plates will gain a useful amount of interior space. David

Working on improving the internal cowl drainage and gaining some interior room for air conditioning and ECUs and maybe eventually, people. It’ll drain at the side similar to original. David

It seems like a lot of tracks have an inspection process for their open days. That will likely satisfy what I want to use the car for. Final model for now. Bend tech isn’t the easiest program, but I have enough info to order material. David

Very clever tool. I'm committing that one to memory. Car is looking great! David

Working out ideas for the upper chassis. This is how I spent my time recovering from the flu. Thanks, Orlando. I’m looking for that sweet spot where beam strength and torsional rigidity, space for passengers (dogs), and light weight overlap one another. Everything is .065 wall 4130, 1-5/8 and...

Going from memory, $5800 before freight in late 2023. Mine are raw, so the cleared and buffed versions are a little more. Assembly video: David

It's going to take some figuring, but I will absolutely share results. David

That stance is perfect. Are you doing the nascar fender cut, or keeping the long body line intact? David
