Great fabrication as usual Westi. Whats the bet that once your done though you'll have wished you'd made an entirely tube pan for the car?

pm's what.i'll read them when i get a chance.at the moment i have to keep the big giant ball roling to meet the deadline.man it's gona be tuff.
as for the tube car idea,all in good time,
but being quick in a pan car is way more impressive.
on a lighter note i got a new nos set up for my birthday,that's all i needed,more shit to make fit.can't complain though.new shit is always nice.computer would have been more useable at this point.
nearly got the new seat mounted,no pic's as it is top secret,yeh right,i will take some tommorrow.

Loving that tube front end dude 🙂 way cool 😎

Just a wee thought too. The upper mounts for the wishbones? Are you going to triangulate them to the upright? Just a thought for added strength 🙂
