More progress!
Cage is done, seat mounts built (though now I decided to put swingout bars in, so the cage really ISN'T done!):
Subframe connectors are done (made my own):
And the upper shock crossmember (which bolts to the original mounts for the rear swaybar) is complete:

Alright.. some progress!
Front suspension - done!
Had some trunk rust, so I killed two birds with 1 stone: I made some repair panels out of steel, and some pans to hold the fuel cell and battery box - I think it's in "keeping in the spirit of the rules" (most of the stock trunk floor is still in place, I just cut the rust out!)

That's real impressive. In 2009 we built our car in only 90 days. We came to darg week with only one test pass on the car and no street driving time on it. Our intentions were to just to run the first day and go home. However on day one found our self in second place and decided to give it a try and ended up winning our class. Along the way we had a lot of problems and I don't recommend doing it this way.Drag Week 2009 winner BB/NA

Well, ideally I'd like to have it done by June for some summer testing, but if it's not done till it goes in the box for the ride to Bowling Green, I'll deal with it.

Jeff is not from this world - if I compare myself to him I end up mortally depressed.
Nice work Bob - I like the idea of incorporating "compartments" into the trunk floor to accept the fuel cell and battery box.There's always something new to learn.

Well.. 90% of the fabrication is done (wrapping up the rear bulkhead and package tray right now)..
Then, it's get the cage certified, and after that, wire it, plumb it. Then a simple matter of reassembling the engine and dropping it and the trans in the car.
