My new build, the last of a long but very FUN journey!!!

What helped you pick the Patrick roll bar? I like how it mounts, as the others mount to the floor pan... Patrick seems to give more room, and hides the bar better...

There are several that mount similar to this and of course DAS mounts using the seat belt mounting points.. t
There is only one that I can think of that mounts to the floor and I think you see that one more because its cheap.. of course I can't remember the name right now... but ??

Last time I had one custom made and at $75 per hour I figured I could just grab this one and be done with it. Its in primer now ready for the grand prix white paint. Should look cool, and be SAFE more importantly.

Oil cooler front air deflection panel was welded in. Test fitted the ER Setrab front mount oil cooler and also the front bumper with cut out. Everything turned out nice. Front end metal going to be put into primer now.

Are you mounting the screen from behind? The oil cooler is my next project.

No it will be in front like my old car. We will do some fiberglass work to make a lip within the square cut out to mount the screen to.

Couple little things taken care of. Car is taking longer than expected.

Getty hood trimmed a bit and fitted. Can also see windshield squirters removed and filled


Front oil cooler deflection panel and surrounding area put in sealant


Interior view of sunroof panel welded in and and sealed


Removing old paint (has had 2 paint jobs).

Got the Halon fire extinguisher and the Buckley racing mount that uses the factory E brake mounting points.

Found some cool "lightened" door handles on Fleabay. We snapped an internal pc. on my factory door handle, so I was poking around and found these. Ordered 2. Cool little touch.

Found some vids on U Tube made by the previous owner, I'm really jonesing to get my car back at this point as its been gone 5 months now, I drove it for 1 day. I know, I know, my own fault but I know its going to be worth the wait!

[nippy]

So I ordered an extra set of cushions for the Corbeau seats. I'm going to have them covered in either the tartan shown here or the Hounds tooth. Will use these for cars and coffee or car shows and use the standard black for normal driving and track use.

Is the e-brake still usable?

Love the seats from my last car. That's why I'm using them again in this car, very lightweight as well.

I like that solution. I am not 100% happy with the under seat options.
