Man that thing is looking sweet. Nice progress.
I am curious about this lip on the spider where it mounts to the firewall. Ive seen several mention it mounts to the front of the firewall, but this seems to push the spider too far forward on the chassis to achieve the 35mm sugested from the spare tire well by RCR. If i put it behind the firewall, I would have to reshape the aluminum firewall for it to sit all the way down on the chassis.
Does anyone have some insight on this?

With the 351 it's tight but the alternator should fit. I notched out the chassis for some extra room but really wasn't necessary.
One thing has always bothered me about a rear suspension design like that shown in the last photo. If you crash heavily backwards or if another car rear ends you, that longitudinal upper suspension tube would be a spear pointed at your back.
