      • 31.5" between rear minitub down bars. My 15gl fuel cell and 5gl water tank came in at 32" before mounting tabs. So I had to chop chop.





        but they fit with room to spare for my mounting tabs coming tomorrow. And only lost 2gls capacity.


        I can even slip the battery in.

        Flipped the rear shocks. Reach around the fuel cell and turn the knob.


        Going to build a floor frame for everything to bolt to and skin the rear floor tomorrow then start mounting turbo, down pipe and motor parts.

        • So much work in making a single bracket. But it does mount the fuel cell, ice tank, radiator, and the transmission cooler along with the floor skin.

          The bracket will be removable. I just need to put on 2 more feet, drill my holes and in the frame and mount her all up.



          I am going to shorten my sump dogleg in the frame. Will bring the radiator/fan up 2-3".

                  • I've got a lot done. A bunch of stuff going into the car this week after being able to get them welded up.

                    trunk floor, fuel cell, ice tank, radiator are all done and going in.

                    Made a carriage frame to mount fuel cell, ice tank, water pump, fuel pump and filters and mount the radiator/fan.

                    Installed an plumbed new Holley V2 fuel pump with dual inlets (-12an and -10an) with 100micron filters from fuel cell and a 10micron filter down stream.

                    Valve covers modified to give me more clearance at the down pipe v-band.

                    Vacuum line -12an welded to other valve cover and made a small baffle then added an 1/8"npt weld bung for the vacuum/psi sensor.

                    Got the car on the ground to roll outside.

                        I'm setting the bar real low. My first goal is running and driving. Next we'll see if it can run a 9.

                        • Rear tin work. Traced template onto 2 sheets of .063" aluminum. And cut out.


                          test fit. worked pretty well.




                          Punched my rivet holes and held with cleco.


                          I installed 2 underside LED service lights


                          these are tits. I power them with Milwaukee m18 battery on a 3D printed adapter.

                          • I pulled the rear carriage assembly and cleaned up welds and hit it with paint.





                            I'm Project Binky engineer bracket maker but this thing came out great.

                            • Put down a little weatherstrip. I'm not wanting any rattles. It will also help seal it and keep tire smoke out.


                              Aluminum in for hopefully the last time.





                              Everything worked great going in and out during mock up. We welded on feet the other day and what a huge pain in the ass getting them in today was. Not to mention drilling for bolts. But they are on for hopefully the last time.


                              And the radiator.







                              plenty of clearance. those lights are tits too.
