That’s a great idea on the connector orientation, I’ll remember that.

Will def be making a cut out in the license plate area and playing around with what else I may do that won’t look like garbage. Diffuser goal for next phase of build.

Which light switch are you asking about ? The headlight switch is temp mounted to roll bar, would like to do a 3D printed bracket to hold it and the OBD port to the roll bar, hopefully can make that happen at some point. For now they are both zip tie secured and not going anywhere.

And thanks for the kind worlds my guys. Your support has been awesome and it’s been very fun to share the build with you all.

Looking great Jason! I wish I had the time on my hands that you have. You're moving right along. What's your target ready to run weight minus driver? What was it before?

@Capt. Obvious that looks clean - well done.

Thanks John, the car weighed 2945 with half tank and no driver last year, if it comes in below 2899 I'll be happy.

Today has been cool - @theprf and my buddy Chad came over. Aaron get the kill switch buttoned up, its really slick and he's smart. Chad took care of getting the paint to a nice, really nice place actually and helped me hang the doors and I got the 1/4 windows mounted with quick releases.

I'm very close to being done with all the work in the car and am going to try to wrap that up tonight.

Done for today. Interior is complete minus the rear view mirror which I'll be putting on after the body shop is done. I cut the Rennline track mat in half and grip taped it, the brake pedal pad has also been grip taped up. The harness bar falls at 18 inches so no cross needed per Schroth.

Wait! Rides? We get rides?!? I'm in! Although, at 220lbs I'd upset the balance, you may need to change suspension settings...

I can't wait to see the look when the suspension is dialed in. So cool...

1 down 2 more block off plates to go. Cutting carbon is about the worst job ever.



Got the outside buttons mounted, little precarious with the wiper stuff but tested routing and all clear.



Its a good day when the trailer is hooked up, we taking a trip to the body shop tomorrow
