We are not allowed to have them in our cabins here. If you get t-boned on the passenger side and the cell splits you have fuel in cabin. Personally I think a fuel cell position further into the cabin gives it more protection, but those are the rules here. I have seen a few cars rear ended (a common accident) and break the cell and pretty much a guaranteed fire.

The fire wall for the fuel cell is no different than the firewall behind the drivers seat where the back seating area used to reside.

Today's update....
Just got blasted again (bare metal starts to rust pretty fast and it's been w/o paint for a couple of months now)... and finally at the powder coating facility. It will be finished next week.
These are the final pics of the car before being powder coated.

Vision has a shock dyno. But it won't do us any good because we don't know what the valving should be for the car since we don't know the spring rates needed nor do we know the weights at each corner.
So while we can put the Ohlins on the dyno... it won't tells us anything that we can use.
We have to run them like the are, changing spring rates until we get it close, using the compression and rebound adjustments to see which way we need to go once the spring rates are close.
That's when we'll revalve them and dyno them. We'll probably have to repeat the process a couple of times to get it where it needs to be.

The exterior will probably be red like my existing car since everyone knows me as "that guy with red 944" in racing circles.
It will mess them all up when they think it's the same car.
