time to give it wings.. or a wing
aluminum angle
some solid eyeball calibrating followed by serious staring
wing held on by hopes and prayers with an assist by gravity
it's about here I'm considering whether or not I like the stands.... they need to parallel something, e.g. the rear valence and let me be SUPER clear, I approved the design. CIRO did what I asked them to do...
my brave act of the night
now in place
thankfully, I have a plasma table... basically the wing will end above the end of the deck - so it will move horizontally.... no big deal
love it
a good view - the stands will mirror the rear angle - also, I have to build an 8" version for Optima.
paint is dry so I can finish this as well

I'd say if, as seen from the side, the back of the side window opening (why do I still want to call that a C-pillar) were vertical, and the taillight panel at 15 degrees, and the wing strut were 8/10ths of the way back from one to the other, I'd slant it at 12 degrees....

choices.
The A1000 pump is good for 1200 hp and has -12 lines in and out. The Holley system right now has - 6 lines and makes 500 wheel hp
I've been going back and forth about upgrading lines. I have most of what I need to upgrade to -10 supply and -8 return.
But
at this point I'm already pushing noise limits and 700 hp is at 7000 rpm. As it is now, it's got a physical cap on noise - set the rev limiter to 5500 and life is fine.
But yeah.
my only real concern if I leave it all -6 is it puts a lot of stress on the pump but with that said, I can turn the pressure up to 75 psi if I really want more power... after all volume is a function of pressure
got more done tonight, though.... think I'll stay with -6 for now.... but when I build more power, I'll update. At this moment, the car is fast enough for my skills.
line test
starting to lay out how the tank will be mounted
I also need to put an offset in the fill tube to line up with the gas cap (3 7/8 offset)
I also welded in the braces - brackets got a coat of paint so drying... bolts get here FridayDoing it all wrong since 1966

a bit done tonight
more fittings - most important is that stainless one
the problem is I welded a pipe fitting for the return when I needed an AN one... oops... will use it as a vent
and welded
in other news, I'm a really bad influence.... the red Corvette owner has bbc plans
