Got some more done tonight...


started by snadblasting my stearing stuff and upper a-arm plate thing to get painted black...



Then cut more off my radaitor support, just extra bracing i dont need anymore and is still PLENTY strong and stiff....before and after pic





Then cut the cowl back, still need to finish boxing it in later..

[SoxXpupPeT]

[Speed Density]

You are doing a great job! Keep it up, we are excited to see the results.

Taubr--I noticed you said you got a battery disconnect switch. FWIW I switched my battery to the back early last year. It does these things:

1. Adds about 30lbs of weight
2. Makes you run a very strong battery
3. Makes you spend an extra $150 or so


You have to put it into a "sealed" NHRA approved box since f-bods don't have a trunk. The boxes run about $100-$150 and add a few lbs. The cables alone (4 of them) add another 10-12lbs. You need the long positive cable (2ga or similar) the short ground cable, and also 2 cables to disconnect the alternator. Also the switch itself is kinda beefy and weighs around 2lbs or so.

It "MAY" help the launch if your car is poor at launching, but then you are simply dragging an extra 30-40lbs down the rest of the track.

I now run an Odyssey PC680 in the stock location. It weighs 15lbs. The stock battery was 35 or 36 iirc. Tech inspection is a breeze. My setup is about 35-40lbs lighter than it was when I had my battery in back.

I know how much you crave the lightness, lol!

Holy Crap! I need you over here to duplicate all that to my car! Seriously jealous! So whats the trick to removing all those seat brackets and seatbelt brackets and other crappy brackets alike? i tried removing the back bottom passenger seat mount and it wasnt pretty at all! lol Also what are you gonna do about the gap between your hood and window?

[Taubr Unit]

i drilled out the spot welds and they come right off. And about the gap, im gonna get a sonocco hood.
