Thanx a lot man you have done a greate job.Im using 12mm aluminium tube I got from speed floww,so its soft and ezy to bend.Im gonna put plastic tube over that to protect from wear.Also going to weld some brackets into tunnel so I can solid mount the tube as well *** cable ties where ever I can .I will cut similar holes to you and another infront of the gear shift as I want the fuel lines in very tight so there will be no leeks later on.Imagine fuel pumping out, fills up tunnel then BOOM.Ill post some pics when I have finished I hope it looks half as good as your job.Thanx so much for your help and keep on rocking.I also noticed you have done some work to the front control arm mounts on your pan, is this for better steering ,as you are going very low I supose bump steer will be a drama.Please explain???Take care JS

That's the work for a car that is going low and have to be an verry thight handling car. I reinforced the front control arms, and to be sure that the mounts won't brake I reinforced them too (the force that first was transmitted in the arms is after the reinforcing of the arms "moved" to the mounts). Now the force is transported directly to the mount (chassishead) and to the frontshocks. (and I hope that none of them is going to brake in the several years )

Yesterday, after an half day of relaxing I was sober again (is that the right word?) and I could start again with working on the car. Sanded several things, masked some things and then again it was time for spraying again. For some reason I mixed the paint too thin so I get 'lopers' all the time. Bad **** because then I have to sand again.

Today I started sanding again, degreasing, etc. and finally some painting in red and clear.

Last night sprayed the last parts (ten) red. Now only 25 - 30 parts have to be sprayed in black. And after that finally everything can be assembled.
