Those are some long wheelie bars!
Shortened them a tick. 78 1/2" center of axle to center wheel. Was 82 3/4".
Need to get some bracing in of course.
Car with me in the driver's seat weighed in at 2128 today.
Got 300 +/- to go in yet. Some stuff that will be swapped for lighter like front glass, front rims and tires.
Figuring 2400 race weight.
With that in mind gears were ordered.

Wheelie bars are done. Rear axle back out. All of it going into blasting and powder coat on monday.
Rear lexan is up next. Then I can finally paint the back half of the chassis and start in on the wheel tubs and floor.
Getting so very close.

Not sure. It had the right shape. I have no idea how they do it or why they don't make it a little closer on fit. I get leaving it a little long but 2" big around the entire perimeter and 5" long on the tail is a little excessive.
Optic Armor sells poly windows that are ready to just glue in with no trimming and no fasteners for a factory look, but they cost significantly more...

Should work for the front glass. Don't know if I would trust it for the sides. Fiberglass doors are a little different then the factory stuff I'm sure.

Maybe you mentioned it before, but i didn't catch it, but what spindles did you use?
More importantly, where/how did you learn to do all this? Or does the chassis kit come with detailed instructions?

He build the chassis from scratch? Oh damn, even more mystery!
