Budget is often a consideration for me with tools * depending on what it is, it's not always better to try and save money but I've been happy with everything from Grizzly so far. I'd say they are on the more affordable side (not U.S. made) but my direct experience is their customer service set...

This...If bracket's for mounting parts is what you plan to use this for, I'm afraid you might be disappointed. You won't do much better then sheet metal thicknesses with this. Unless your gusseting your brackets they won't be very strong. To bend heavier steel/aluminum you'd need a more...

Here's the brackets we made for the steering rack. Probably a little more heavy duty then is needed but it was easier this way. Also started making the fuel cell cage out of 1" square tubing. This is just sitting in there (and backwards). But I hope I can squeeze in the fill hose etc...

Haven't worked on the car in over two months because of these two!! but I squeezed in two hours today. Very happy with the fitment of the custom steering rack I ordered from Maval and the fuel cell from fuel safe...Like a glove!! I'll take some better pics once I start on the brackets for...

I was also going to mention the fender washers for the shoulder harness. I think those are fine for sub straps but not the lap and shoulder mounts. As example I think FIA requires the backing plate to be 3mm (so good with 1/8) and have 40 sq cm of area with a captive nut. I realize you might...

Is that the factory seat and recommended shoulder harness attachment point? Harness manufacturers are all a little different in what they recommend but 10'-20' angle is pretty standard for shoulder harness. Could just be the perspective of the shot, but it looks more like 45'. If your...

Crossing my fingers that I've measured everything correctly for the steering rack...however there were three options for the steering ratio on this custom rack. 3.8 turns lock to lock (slowest), 3 1/8 turns lock to lock, and 2.7 turns lock to lock (fastest). I choose the fastest (1.8...

The results of the machined parts I posted previously. This method of mounting the shoulder harness to the firewall along with a schroth 2 bar bracket should be the most compact method of mounting them (I only have about 4 inches).

Wow...looks great. I could see how you could sell alot of these at that price range. I don't think there's much out there on an equal playing field given the quality/price ratio and considering you don't have to put in time to get it driving. I guess it all depends on the market for non...

I had enough parts that I was going to need to machine that I bought a small metal lathe from Grizzly. First two parts made...bushings for the suspension and a tube that I"m using to wrap the harness around for the shoulder strap.

One thing I wanted to add. That harbor Freight 36" bending brake was unable to bend that 3003 H22 aluminum tread plate at .1". I had to score the backside to make the bend. The material width was about 22".

I like it, and best of all it doesn't really look like a copy of anything. A clean and unique looking design. Great job.

Debated what material I wanted to use for the false floor. Also considered smooth metal and using grip tape but I went with Aluminum tread. At .1" the piece is pretty light. I'm not a fan of the shinny finish, this will be getting a flat bedliner or something similar as the interior is going...

I haven't worked on the car for awhile so no updates there, but I did put a rough drawing together of how I might plan to adapt my DBW sensor to my pedals. There's some open questions I have on compatibility. I've gotten mixed answers on whether the LS1 DBW throttle body is compatible with the...

Nope just sharing the pic. I believe this may be Craig's car. I don't have details.

Passenger side hole's much smaller Another shot of the completed driver side. Just some primer to keep from rusting until we get to painting. The seat rail supports which are 1/8 steel 90' bends., won't be welded in rather bolted to not weaken the sheet metal. another shot of the...

I think this fits the bill of a creative solution (maybe just not practical)

Kind of hard to see with these pics but this is the mounting platform we made for the tilton pedals. Underfoot is the only thing that would fit in this car. Gonna have to get a cheapy bending brake to make the false floor.

Not really sure what you have but sounds like you can't use a bulkhead fitting with an NPT connection in the tank? Are you looking for something like this? Fuel Tank Pickup Tube
