Close, no cigar.
Still in the welding stages. Have the front braced from the wall in front of the tank to the lower trunk floor. Added the Desert Hybrids rear reinforcing and the Engman front sway bar supports. In the processes of bracing the rear shock towers and upgrading to 200 lb springs. Patrick fuel cell and metal fuel lines are in place. Still need to finish up the roll cage (have the metal, still measuring and bending), install the fire system, and add the JWest shifter.
My welder is a real pro and does super work, but he is working me in after the hours of his full time gig, so progress is a little slow. But he is the one I have confidence in and trust his work, so I am willing to wait.
Got a good motor in the car and a better one
on a stand ready to go.
