And this one is a shot of it from underneath...
Its only a test fit, and not tightened down in this photo.

This photo also shows my front bolt in brace from earlier in the thread.

You can also see the mueller bearings..
hey Mike, when you gonna come up with a cover? Just kidding...

Brant,
If you ever need someone to drive that thing let me know. I would be happy to shake it down for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
It looks great, please keep the pics coming.

Back in the begining of this thread, I mentioned that my roll cage had extra large foot pads. Its not an Engeman kit by any means, but the foot pad is unique.

Its one piece that does a bit of reinforcing in the lower corner on the long, and also comes up and ties into the firewall.. (on the hell hole side there is a similiar bracket that ties into the back of the firewall)...

Remember, I'm not allowed to weld in bracing really... So this is technically a foot pad for my roll cage:

I thought that I might be going over the top with the pics... (If it gets annoying you can always tell me to shut up!)

Another cage shot...

This rear lower cross bar was added... and has a tiny bead onto the rear firewall.

This is also where we put the bias valve:

I believe it's for accessing the front of the engine for service work.

I finally got a chance to go all the way through your thread Brant. The car is looking great. That paint job turned out awesome.

Tell Bob he's doing a great job!

Jeroen,

this one is for you.
I mentioned this previously, but I used a plasma cutter to open the frame cavity and do some welding inside to brace the rear towers..... Then closed it back up.

You can see my welding seam.. Its kinda a big triangle (about 6inches long):

I hate to horn in here, and I'll delete this post later if necessary.

Brant, Jeroen, Brad or anyone else that has BTDT...

Can you guys all go look at this thread? We are doing the last bit of metal work on my tub and considering doing something where the long meets the shock tower.

Thanks!

Kevin,

you underestimate your self...

people don't know this, but Kevin along with Ginter and a bunch of other people have been SOOOO helpful to me.
Kevin and others have done favors, wrenched, and been an enormous support to both me and my father...

thanks again to this club, the admins, brad, and the local guys.
