Little teaser as to what the frame will look like. That floor looks a little weak, No X brace in the floor or a horizontal where the pedals are? That rear looks beefy as heck! I think you should remove the rear floor all together. Gonna be hard to raise the engine/trans in. |

I went to Rudy's Saturday to check out his project and to meet a local fellow teener. He has a nice 2 year project and 5 son's for helpers. That's a good start. Here is a pic of the "suspension" donor car.
And here is what burned it down. The Stereo or should I say Stereo installer. This is why you don't let the idiots at oil change centers/stereo shops touch your car. Check out the grommets. Oh, wait a minute. There aren't any. I took a crappy pic here but this is the stereo's main ground block. I has 4 places for bolts to attach to the body. Can you see that is it is held on by one sheet rock screw that isn't even fully pulled down. So in essence, no friggin ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And judging from that #4 positive cable I'm guessing it was north of 200w. Rudy's '74 in a shell state Rudy cleaning the new suspension |

Little teaser as to what the frame will look like. Great project for sure! Did you check the SCCA rules with regard to how high the roll bar has to be over a helmet? I was surprised how high the roll bar has to be.... The Solo roll bar standards are here: http://cdn.growassets.net/user_files/scca/....pdf?1458925428 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The top of that rollbar must be 2" above the drivers helmet, UNLESS that height would interfere with the operation or fit of the OEM top. In that case the driver's helmet must be below a straightedge bridging between the top of the windshield header and the top of the rollbar over the driver's head(the "broomstick test").
So keep your top on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I was surprised how high the roll bar has to be.... For SCCA, doesn't the main hoop have to have a cross bar, and all of it in a single plane? I.e. no fore/aft bends. |
