A link between the 2 shock tops and maybe a tie in to the body would be good.

Thanks Jason I didnt know that. Its not too late. The body is just sitting on the pan. I haven't bolted it down, because at the rear I plan to install a torque bar from Lanner at vdubenginering.com. I will also talk to him about suggestions on a front strut bar for the beam. I plan to also use the the lower beam to pan braces. And mc-500 I agree the scat stealth seats are sweeet, I think they are the best in the scat procar seat line up.

Lanner would be a very good reference point, and for sure he'd be able to help you out if you decide to go that way.
