Widebody stuff mocked up, have to do some serious cutting to mount the rear stuff on, should be working on that and finishing the wiring up over the next few days. Engine plans are progressing and will hopefully be ready to go in the car for manifold mockup in a few weeks.

951 will be out this spring if all goes well. But how many times have I said that.
The ONLY real issues are going to be the twin radiator mounting, and the custom exhaust manifold (Tim @ Speedforce Racing is doing half, then I’m going to tack the other half together and have someone local weld it up, Matt, Lee, or Joe. I havent actually talked to any of them about it though).
Did all the cutting, drilling and measuring (not in that order!) and got the fronts mounted up in a couple hours.
Moment of truth!
I was literally standing there saying “This is either the stupidest or craziest thing I’ve ever done to my car.”
Rear (just driver’s side) mocked up. Finally got to figure out what I’m going to do for rear wheels, which will be 18x12 ET 0 :lol: The front fenders were specifically mounted a touch wide to allow venting through the rear of them for both hot air from the brakes and the radiators which will be venting to the wheel wells.

Hot. Maybe get some mesh in the front fender gap so it looks intentional?

Yeah, will help keep rocks from getting kicked up into the passenger cabin too. Probably not a bad idea.
