He needs enough room under there to build a roll cage around the engine to protect it....

Max, did you get new "plastic buttons" made for the 968 tensioner?

Yes,
Could you confirm what size hole your tensioner has?
I have two different sizes, the button head is the same size

Very nice work as usual Max. Are you going to retain a recessed vent or will there be some leading edges that are proud of the surface?

Default Custom twin disc clutch
Patrick,
The car will be painted the 2017 Mustang GT Dark Grey, The roof will be cleared and the vents, splitter, belly pan and wing will remain in CF. We just received the chromoly tubing for the cage.
I will receive the custom Radiator/Oil Cooler next week.
I have attached some pictures of the lightened Spec twin disc clutch

Good lord Max. Glad I came back just to see this. Your car is sexy time. So many incredible builds in the past few years.
