Do you plan to run the air dam configuration? and if so do you plan to put a floor in it? Probably add some front down force.

The test piece had a floor with a 1" splitter.  Current plan is not to use it with a "G" motor.  Down the road,  when we move up to a larger engine class, will consider it.

Update.....Today seemed like "Make a Header Day"..... just another thing that has to be done sooner or later. Took two tries to come up with the proper length and fit to get it where I wanted them to exit.....Tacked together......ran out of argon.....guessssss I'll take the rest of the day off....hot one today anyway.

Made a little more progress this week, finished header, hung pumps, filter mounts and pedals.....Will finish all add on mounts and brackets by end of week.

Udo,, it sure looks like you may make it to Maxton for tech and maybe even a few shakedown passes.

Yes it is looking good, do you have a race your trying debut it at?

[jacksoni]

Speedweek, but we will not be ready for Maxton. Cage and frame still need welding and some bars. With minor exceptions pretty much parts in hand and think the mechanicals will go together fairly quickly. Udo is still, grudgingly, messing with the body. Not his favorite pastime. And I have to fininsh the engine, which is sitting in the bay for positioning of systems. Still to do, but we plan to have a shakedown somewhere and be on the trailer 8/10.

Today, beginning of final stretch.....disassemble car....final weld main frame.....then off to chassis shop to tig weld rollcage.  Still a long way to go.

[Glen]

Udo, we all understand about the time frame. We are sorta in the same boat with the Vesco liner. Will be putting in some long hours.
Glen

[hotschue]

Glen..... 3 hours to disassemble......three weeks to put it back together again!!

[Cajun Kid]

Udo, make sure to keep a good photo log of the reassembly.

Good luck, maybe I will see you this weekend if you are able to take a break and come to Maxton to relax in the 97 degree fun......

Update....Thanks to Steve, Kramer Bros. Chassis, Pasadena, Md......He is final tig welding the Chrome moly rollcage and supporting members....also looking over what welding I have done....needless to say "I should keep my day job"......Hope to finish tomorrow and start preparing for paint.....we're gettin there!!!!

And there's another one of those Studebakers in the background. I think that every one that was ever built is becoming a hot rod.
