Since I'm a part of the team, :mrgreen: I have alot of questions! What is the burst panel for in front of the blower opening? I seen them blow before. Is it to aid in keeping the body on the car if the blower or motor goes POP? Ron Capps already answered my question about the extra lever on the brake lever. Should have known that one! :roll:

Yes, the panel in the hood is to let the pressure blow out from under the body without taking the body with it. It is held down with plastic screws and nuts.

Yes, I am sure Ron told you that is the fire bottles lever. :D

The other lever on the right side is used for something different. :wink:

There is also a burst panel deflector on the intake manifold that will direct the pressure down should it ever be needed. :roll:

Finally got it into the paint booth for primer. 2-coats of epoxy primer to seal everything down. Then 2-coats of polyester primer surfacer to be able to sand without going through to the bare glass.
