heres what i started. 6 inch wider beam,new front bumper,relocate some lights and battery. Also going to remount my control arm mounts in rear. I have aftermarket rear torsion and did,nt get the pivots on correctly when i built car. Also painted up an extra valve cover i had just because  Also hinged my hood so i don't have to remove it every time i need access.

Curious if your plans are to add additional tube supports to the shock towers. |

It is .120 1 1/2 inch tubing and the shocks are not pressurized. Your an engineer right? And you have many more years experience than i do with this stuff. Do you recomend it? Thanks Tony |

The forces exerted on that single tube will probably rip it out at the weld. Yes I recommend additional tubing. Preferable a tripod that will give it triangleation. |

You could bring a tube up from the bottom beam tube. I don't know if it will interfere with your tie rods or not. Then one on the side down to were it clamps to the frame. That would help alot. |

I dont have any pictures yet, But have been doin a lot of work. Got it totally torn down, took the seats out moved them forward 1.5in, and leaned them back bout 2 inches. way more comfy. but in this process i had to cut out the x brace( my frame is kinda small in the cockpit area) SO now i have to come up with a fancy way to do the bracing and make new seatelts mounts for the shoulder straps. Also just got my 2x3 arms installed tonight WOW is is wide now lol ill try and get some pics soon. |

Well, have to get some pictures, but so far, bigger radiator, new cowlings and airbox, new water pipes and high-flow pump, gone 30mm wider on the rear tyres. Made some torsion bar eliminators + covers/spring plates to replace the bushes with a rose joint, but can't fit the springs on the new rear Foxes, so it'll have to wait until the next event. Took the 30-year old Bilsteins off the back (which is where the new Foxes are going), and made an adaptor to fit the remotes off those onto the Fox emulsions on the front, along with valving changes to match. Plenty of service parts and new bearings, and some engine mapping changes too. Oh, and made space for an Eaton M90. |
