New year, new hope, Jeff Leech from Mid America Ind said my car will be ready this month. I will keep my fingers crossed. I am leaning twds the LSX 454/620hp motor and probably FI. Again the longer I have to think about it the more options I come up with. I have not really received any good feedback on Blue Print Engines so I do not want to be the first one to test them.

Anymore progress or teaser photos?

Actually the frame and every thing is complete as of yesterday and ready to ship back to me. Its been way too long. I was trying to upload some pictures via photo bucket but they have changed it since I last posted and its kicking my butt. Working it

vstol

Its taken 2 1/2 yrs for the 6 month project to be completed and it looks like I will have it shipped home around the 29th of this month. I have posted some pics of the frame on my site below, the center and side sections will be beefed up some.

mounted the fuel cell and mocked up the FIA Lemans headlight bracket

What size fuel cell are you using? Is that the height it will set? It seems like it sets very low. Better for keeping the weight low but would be concerned that it would hit. Is it just the pic?

vstol

its a 22 gallon cell and the tank is above the rear differential and just a few inches below the rear exhaust panel. I will also build supports that will go under the cell for added protection once I take the body off. I will get a better angle shot later today

vetteguy22

I would love to see more pics of the tank and where is it positioned. I need to add a cell to my car.

vstol

It will be awhile until I get the body off but remember I have a custom frame.

I am running a SRIII chassis on mine.

vstol

nice

vetteguy22

I have the body off for the last time. Am hoping to finish up a little fiberglassing this weekend then spray sound deadener on the underside. Then I can mount the body for good and start on the body and paint.

vstol

This pic might help. The bottom of the cell is about two inches above the rear suspension

vetteguy22

It must be the angle the pic was taken from. Sure looks lower than that. Could be misleading without the rear panel in place. Keep up the nice work and keep the pictures coming.
