Looks great, ProZ! I can hear those gear changes slammin' down already! Note: When this car is finished and on the strip, I predict it will be one of the most perfectly engineered race cars we ever saw...Cheers, WC1 8)

After scratchin' my head for the last couple days I finally got the door/quarter to line up close enough to make some more body mounts.

Thanks Randy. Kind of a pain when there's no inner panels to use for reference. But, we're gettin' it dialed in.

I got the driver's side door aligned, Quarter panel & door latch brackets welded in. Got the door all cut & filed for the bear claw latch. Install the latch tomorrow and then it's on to the firewall.
I have to refab the dash bar that had to be removed to get the intercooler to fit under the dash. Then fabricate the intercooler brackets. Problee' do the brakes & steering column at the same time. Then rebuild the firewall to fit around all this stuff.

I got that door latch done & moved on to the firewall. About all I got done today was puttin' the dash bar back in. I moved it up under the dash high enough so I can pull the intercooler out if needed and also high enough to clear the gages on the other side. It'll be a brace to hold the dash up too since there's not too much original bracing left under there. I spent most of the day movin' the intercooler around to find the best place for it. It ended up back in the same place I had it. :oops: Next up is to fab. some mounts for it.
