Double bulkhead construction, I first modified and relocated my roll bar to the rear of the car by about 2" (post 93). I requested (from Fran and was delivered rather promptly) a new stock bulkhead (minus all holes including the rear window cut out) that I could modify to accommodate a Tornado...

I decided that I wanted to stiffen the spider by closing the "A" pillars with fiberglass and filling the space between the roof and inner panel with expanding foam similar to how Tom did his roof. I used 3 layers of cardboard to make the molds, the 1st layer is bent to shape then I added a 2nd...

Sean, BTW the lift weighs over 800 lbs so plan on how to move it when it's delivered. I actually used my engine hoist to get it off of the truck since it did not have a Tommy lift and sat it on two 4 wheel dollies and a friend and I pushed it up the driveway and into the garage. I then used a...

Sean, I routed them through the tunnel and connected them to a bulkhead pass through. When I installed my engine I thought that it was too busy at the front of the engine so I removed the heater hose pipes that I had wrapped and I will tee off of the front radiator hoses in the future. Attached...

This post is in response Sean's questions. The lines to the heater inlet and the air out from the top of the manifold go to the expansion tank. The heater inlet hose goes to the bottom of the expansion tank outlet hose barb and the air out from the manifold goes to the top inlet hose barb on...

Try pre-heating the end of the stainless tube to about 900° first.

I have only made a short drive, about 4 blocks, and it shifted perfectly. I can shift it without the car running into every gear without any problem, I could not do that with the previous shifter. I does look good but I am going to change the shift knob, just not sure to what yet.

I decided that I did not want the roll bar inside the cockpit where it is right behind my head. To move the roll bar behind the bulkhead required grinding the weld on the horizontal brace so that I could lower it about 2", care must be taken to only cut the weld and not gouge the roll bar. I...

I have a RCR40 that will be ready for paint in 2 months that you are welcome to come over to check out and kill some time. I am 15 minutes to the West of DFW airport. email gt 40 rick at yahoo (no spaces and add .com)

Thanks George, uplifting comments always help to motivate us. My next post will detail how and why I built a double bulkhead and moved the roll bar to the rear 1.5" so that it will be sandwiched between the double bulk head.

The EZ Fast is pretty straight forward to install and get running. If you need help they are pretty responsive to your phone call.

I wish I knew, hard to get anything lately, I ordered the Hartwell latches RCR makes last year when they were $495 a set now they are $695 a set, I wonder how that is going to work out.

This post is in response to Mitch's questions. I angled the oil cooler to put the cooler parallel to the rear end fiberglass (slightly past vertical). I attached a pic of the bracket as well as a pic of the drawing for it. I purchased...

Shift mecanism is standard RCR supplied cable shifter and adapter for a ZF transaxle.

Very nice work, love the color, I am using a very similar blue but with a tangerine mustache stripe. Two thumbs up, I'd give more but I only have 2 thumbs. :)

I forgot to post a picture of the shifter...

Installed the rear sway bar, I am still missing the front sway bar since October 2015, I have the other pieces for the front sway bar but not the bar. I do not think that it should take 2 years to get a sway bar but I guess that I am wrong (it must be made out of unobtainium). I had to rotate...

While both eb engines are similar they share few components and I doubt that you could get 600 hp out of the Raptor eb for very long.

The fans stood out to me as well. I like the different approach just wondering about the total weight, cfm and current draw. I have two 12" Spal fans that pull 1640 CFM each at around 15amps so 3280 cfm at 30 amps with a total weight of 10.5lbs (both fans) not counting the fiberglass shroud...
