It has been over 105° this weekend and will be around that all week. Needless to say Im not doing much to the car until it gets a little cooler.

I DID get a hole cut in the firewall to eliminate a section I didn't like, and possibly run the heater lines through. I decided to keep the firewall smoother, and run them through the area where the windshield wiper motor is.

Next on the list is to build the lines from the blower assembly into the engine compartment, and button up the hole in firewall around the new lines.

Trying to decide if im going to send it out for paint in the engine compartment, firewall in the passenger compartment, or just rattle can it in the garage. Im leaning towards sending it out after I get it all smoothed out and prepped. Im not a painter.

Sprayed primer on firewall to prevent rust until firewall mods are complete, and it is ready for paint. Made the last patch panel will weld it in smooth it out and send it to paint. Hopefully by next week.

Pictures of the clutch mater cylinder relocation bracket I made. I will post pictures of the modified pedal assembly to go with it today when I get home.

Modified pedal assembly to line up actuating lever to master cylinder. Moved 3" to the left.

Ordered Sabelt gt160 seats, aluminium mounts, and 6 point harnesses with aluminium adj

Also ordered a multipoint Cage produced by Custom Cages.

If all goes well, and they don't get held up at the port I should have everything next month.

Zer0 · 02-22-2018, 02:23 AM

Cage arrived. Still waiting on my seats, harnesses, and mounts. Going to order custom cages seat mount tube kit, and welding rod Friday. So I can get rolling on the install when I get the seats.

Zer0 · 02-24-2018, 12:16 AM

Seats, harnesses, and brackets arrived pictures coming soon.

Zer0 · 02-28-2018, 03:11 PM

Pics of seats

Zer0 · 03-14-2018, 11:00 PM

Cleaned up the garage, and moved some new tools, and parts in. Roll Cage, jacking points, stands, and seat tube Kit's for mounting seats. Produced by custom cages out of the U.K. Purchased from rma in Colorado.

Will be starting to strip the seam sealer out and seam weld soon. I plan on using internal frame sealer from Eastwood to seal up internal areas I can't paint after stitch welding to prevent rust. Anyone with experience stitch welding and coating areas after welding input is welcome for best products, to methods. Thanks in advance.
