Nice! Did you just cut a flat sheet yourself, or is someone supplying pre-cut rear windows for our cars? It doesn't seem like there's any real curve in it.

Also, another random question: anyone tried running our cars without power steering? I've been reading about doing this to (other models of) track cars, seems like it's a nice way to shave more weight and complexity, and it's only annoying at parking-lot speeds. The basic idea being to remove the PS pump and reservoir (and electronics and cooler and tubing, etc), and just loop the fluid lines down at the steering gear box (filled with... grease instead of PS fluid?). The pulley system would then be down to just crank + alternator, not even sure how you'd route the belt at that point.

It's a flat sheet from Home Depot. Being the rear its no big deal IMO. The front I will order custom for sure.

The power steering mod I'd keep. Even at high speed its more responsive.

How bout that. What's the status of the car?

SPOHN · 12-17-2013, 02:33 PM

Motor and tranny going back in Saturday. If I get lucky it might be started up Sunday or Monday. Hopefully the weeken after full roll cage will be complete.

SPOHN · 12-17-2013, 08:13 PM
