The 83GTCorrect for $200!
No hassles so far. I don't really expect any issues with the front mount. The harness bar is the one I would get nailed for, but I have yet to have a tech guy open the door and look. They usually see the bar, harness, helmet and jacket and go on about their business.

Couple of updates. Been playing with the carb a lot lately. It's been fun and educational!
Picked up some MT 28/10.5-15 ET Drags to remedy the traction problem a few days ago. Today I ran out to the wrecking yard and snagged a Gen1 Ranger air dam for $10 to go under my car's nose and hopefully pull more air thru the radiator.Last edited by BBR; June 18th, 2012 at 02:24 PM.

That help right across the board, cooling, aero drag, curb feeling.

And I believe this is not conducive to good cooling either.
I'm going to try to close this area off with some plastic sheeting.

Good call - that's certainly a "leak" of potential cooling air.

Looks good to me if you would have used black zip ties i would say call it permanent! (as long as it does not flex at speed)

Went out Saturday, took some cardboard and made a template to seal up the core support. Then I traced it on some stiff corrugated plastic stuff. Cut it out and sealed it up with some aluminum tape. I did not have a chance to test, but the temps this week are supposed to be in the upper 90's, so I should have ample opportunity to do so.
I also bought another set of brand new rear wheels just like the one's I already have to mount the slicks on. A buddy of mine had them and he was willing to sell for a great price.
