What do you think my car is powered by?
A hungry poor brazilian !!
This is what happens when you drink beer
and work on your car
But seriously, I was in there to check the hood clearance on our new new "strut tower" design. If you look back at my ver.1 and ver2. ......something just didn't work for me. Thanks to Dimitri I think we finalized on a "strut tower" tube design. I feel much better now !
First step was to check the hood clearance........I'll shave my hood reinforcement support bar that I fiber glassed in just enough to make room for the tube.
Next I broke out the cardboard and started laying out the strut
plate and tranfered it to steel, using 1/8" plate. It was a total bitch to cut it out while maintaining straight lines
etc.... even more challenging to cut out the center opening.
Next the moment we've all been waiting for......drum roll please
First hole in the firewall.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting the hole cut and lined up in just the right spot? ....priceless!
TUBING is 1-1/4 x .120 wall
It's all downhill from here!
let's see how our idea all comes together
