951 winter progress

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.

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.
