Those pictures really are helpful! Thanks! 

Looks like i need to learn to tig!

Had you in mind when the pics were taken. 

Love this build. I like DSMs. I like LS swapped anythings. It's the perfect combination.

Thank you very much sir! Im very grateful. Much less heat transmission than i was thinking. 

Dad bought a tig. When the quarantine ends ill sign up for a tig class. Then i can put in the torque boxes! 

Weld porn is always a good thing ......what size front slicks are y'all planning on?

26"x10.0"x15"

Is it too early to talk about how you plan on addressing the 'torque' steer issue.?

We moved the top of the strut in and the projection point is now 0.4"  from being exactly centered to the contact position L-R. Axles are same length. Caster is 5 degrees.

So: minimized as much as possible!

Yes you do.  Except for Calvin's Stude .....I don't think we built a Challenge car since 2005 that did not have one.  

Roof is ready to go on. Need to finish tabs and touching them up. 

That paint did not scorch as bad as I thought it would. 

Did you put the gto skinnies on the c4?

Yes

In reply to Appleseed :

What do you mean by scorch?

Details

Roof is back on. Looks sooo much better. 

Also started making the seat brackets.

In reply to TheV8Kid :

The welding you did near the painted areas (burning the cage in, the roof brackets) did not discolor the adjacent paint very much. For some reason I assumed there would be more heat transfer from the welding prosses. That or you guys paint things way better than I do. Probably both.

In reply to Appleseed :

Gotcha! Part of welding chromoly is you can't get it too hot. That might be part of. It too.

That's funny. I was googling, "what does it mean when paint scorches". I thought it was some technical term for like the way reflects in the sun. Thanks.

This is going to be am awesome car, I want to see more, waiting for the updates
