Since the last update the 4 upper suspension ‘A’ arms have been completed and one of the lower ‘A’ arms has also been completed.

Also I got the point where both seats are mounted, the drivers being adjustable which is a legal requirement here in Western Australia.

I finished fully welding together the box structures which form the base for the engine mounts in the frame and these are now tack welded into the frame also the transmission mounts are finished as well.

Since the pictures below were taken the engine and seats have been removed and the car is now back on the rotisserie to complete the welding on the engine mounts and a few other identified pieces.

Whilst the engine is out I’ll be making the stock headers fit by swapping their sides (minor tweaking required), which means between the air box and cats the engine will be entirely stock, which should help getting the thing on the road.

Beyond this 5 point harnesses have been sourced, so have C5 Corvette drive shafts and parking brake assemblies.  They’re all in the USA still at the moment which is not helping but at least they are bought.

 

 

 

The MDF box is the mockup for the fuel tank…
