Very interesting. Nice custom fabrication. Subscribed with extreme prejudice.

Fair enough on the free tires..... ;-) Hard to argue that!

Since my experience in my car is limited to autocross, I was thinking more along the line of compound. Getting harder compound tires up to heat is challenging in a 2100 lb car. There aren't a lot of slick options available in 17" and 18" sizes, which is why I went with 16". Just something to keep in mind for the future.

FWIW, my car weighs under 2000 lbs. I've had to add ballast to get up to my 2070 lb minimum for my class.

You reminded me we finally have brackets for NC hardtop sides. Will soon have matching fronts.

Eflove, can you tell us what you did for the alternator relocate? Of coarse no AC, but what type of alternator and mounting hardware? Thanks,

The ALT is off a can-am something... I have no good photos of the mounts. They are really simple. I will take some when they come back from powder coat. I have my fingers crossed that it will have enough juice to power my car. I stole the PN off this prototype at the shop and it seems to work fine for him.

I made a dump tube, drilled the wategate bolts, and tacked the nuts to the clamps for easy install.
