Getting Closer - With Day six upon us, we now attach the support bars from the 'cage to the front and rear clip. We mount the firewall support struts as well as the shock bungs in the front of the car. Then, we begin the process of checking clearances for the interior sheetmetal.
 We're getting a lot closer...  We're getting a lot closer to being able to pull the car off the jig. Today we run the support bars from the 'cage to the front and rear clips. |  This strengthens the area...  This strengthens the area around the fuel cell. |  Before we can weld it up,...
