Got my troubled tube tacked in place and now onto the side bars. Got a call into ISP today to order the head restraint. Waiting for a call back about a question I have. Also, the Brown Santa brought my first piece of safety gear! Some swanky Piloti driving boots. The quality of the leather is amazing.  |

T, now is a good time to put some roll bar padding above the helmet to ensure you have a enough clearance and them check for 120 degrees of forward vision. I would tack in those bars where you think they should be, put in a seat height base and back, then put on the helmet, climb in look around and climb out. Suggest doing this a lot from this point on.

Thanks, yes, I am doing that. Next step will be to add my backrest and lower tubes so I can pinpoint the seating. . I also have a call into ISP and am going to use their padding system. Their website has a very detailed form on the measurements they need to build a custom system. |

I just spent a few VERY INFORMATIVE minutes talking to Bill at ISP Safety. I can already tell what a top notch company these guys are going to be to work with. Thanks to Charles for putting me in touch with them! http://ispseats.com/They will be working with us in designing the helmet support as well as other aspects of driver compartment safety such as our poured seat and some other padding I schemed up. I know several other teams use their products such as Poteet and Main but is nice to know some dude in the middle of nowhere can call up and get the same or better treatment as Force or any of the NASCAR teams!!! It is little victories like these that keep me pushing forward, I feel smarter than I was 30 minutes ago  |

LOVE those drops---scrap prices I paid a little more than I wanted but walked out with a few pounds of stuff to tide me by. Also spent time on the chassis today but since it was aluminum day I grabbed an engine turned chunk I was doing to my Tudor, decided it needed to become the dash for this one.    |

You racing on the salt or profiling.... way too many things planned in that dash, you will be lucky to get a peek at the tach....  OK just kidding all those gauges will be useful during warm ups before the runs. OK back to work on the cage, you won't need a dash for a while. |
