I couldn't find a rack that would fit my application so I just ordered a custom one. Like MikeP said, I think bump steer is the real thing to worry about. I used a laser to create a plane that intersected the attachment points of the upper and lower control arms (pivot points). Then estimated...

Quick pic of the finished internal roll cage. We tried to keep it as simple as possible because we are inexperienced with bending and was afraid of getting things uneven. Haven't got much else done because I'm still waiting for parts from Superlite. Rebuilding the engine and swapping cams...

Heads came in...so can start rebuilding the engine. Advanced Induction high compression heads. They weld up and reshape the combustion chamber

Bought some parts...Maybe I'll be able to get back to working on this thing. Steering rack will probably be...months. O well.

Basically was able to just push through most of these voids with my fingers. How typical would you say this is of Superlites body work?

Really wish I could have had all the dimensions on the SLC steering rack first. I got it this week however the Ball center to Ball center measurement of the inner control arm is 35". Depending on the height placement of the steering rack in the Apex, the alignment of the upper and lower...

For your pearl coats did you use 1/2 gloss topcoat 1/2 matte clear pds?

Here's what we came up with to mount the steering rack to the tube frame. Will attach to the larger plate on the back.

My rack got delayed a little bit but I wanted to get started on the mounting bracket. If anyone has their rack laying around can you tell me the center to center measurement of the bolt holes on each mounting tab, and the center to center measurement of the bolt holes from tab to tab. And...

Leave the holes and stick some exhaust in them. lol

Just working on odds and ends as I'm waiting on parts from Superlite to start on the steering rack / suspension. The Apex was designed to drop the engine and transmission as one with a cradle. However the transmission sticks out the back of the rear subframe, with the engine fully forward...

Cleaned up the front end and put down some primer. And put the front suspension on...now if I could get parts from Fran. Castor is completely to the back right now and looks to be about 5.

Yay or Nay on something like this on the rear fenders? I always thought the rear end looked like it extended out forever past the rear wheel...this kinda breaks it up. Don't laugh at my 20 second photoshop attempt. lol. As drawn that piece may be too small/weak.

I was considering these intakes for my LS1 build but I had some concerns about them. I'd say with a Katech LS3 and cross-ram intake with dual throttle bodies, these filter/intakes will be limiting your airflow at high RPM. That 350 hp is for turbo engines. 250 hp NA. If you took advantage of a...

Can someone tell me the manufacturer and model number of the steering rack used in the SLC? We are using it in the Apex.

Really only to avoid heating my fuel. I'm running a surge tank fed by a LP pump and I just saw the fuel continually circling along the stainless coolant tubes. Not sure in practice how hot it would get but at a distance of over 4 feet side by side, I thought it could be an issue/affect...

Quick question about running fuel lines in a somewhat unusual manner. I want to avoid placing my fuel lines (and electrical) in the center tunnel along with my coolant pipes. I'm considering using the tunnels under the door jams on both sides of the car. My plan is to run conduit or similar...

I think it's just the stigma of a "kit car". As soon as you say that word, it is perceived as cheap (by those not knowing - which is like 98% of the public). Now say Instead hand built race car or something of the like and see how that perception changes. I'll be honest, I don't expect this...
