I'm not sure about the short shifter yet.
The trans you see there is for mockup purposes. It's actually a stock AOR trans and is what will be built into the backup trans for the car once I get it out... once the new trans is ready.
But because of the main fuel cell fire wall location... close to the shifter, we will have to build a shift lever that is offset a couple inches. In doing that we will probably alter the shift linkage ratio there, rather than at the rear at the transmission.

Hey...
First off... the top of the bell housing on the transmission and the bell housing at the end of the torque tube, both have been cut down. If you look you can see the top was cut down.
This was done to lower the height of the fuel cell.
Next, the bottom of the ATL fuel cell container was cut and modified to allow the fuel cell to be lowered further again.
Yes... I could get Vision to make more of the fuel cells... but you'd have to do a lot of work to get it in. The bell housings being cut down, the chassis steet metal cut out, and some brackets welded in to support it.

GTR kit. Broadfoot has a terrible reputation but its the best package out there at that price. Crawford is crazy money.
The other Broadfoot stuff is available at Hairy Glass in Florida, Broadfoot never paid for the molds.

Hairy used to list prices and they were about the same as Broadfoot.

Oke clear. I'm anxious to see this project moving on.. Also a very neat bumper, too bad no-one provides a nice bumper for a N/A side fender!
