Getting there....

[nakagusukumike]

rough plan from here:

 

put the floors in.

get a rear member and mock it up. check fit.

fab up a rear frame.

fab up front frame, cut out frame rails in the engine bay.

Connect front frame to rear frame via square frame stock.

weld in roll cage welded to the frame and tabbed to the chassis like a mad man from strut tower to strut tower front to back.

Throw the roof on.

primer the whole thing.

 

Mechanical build.

Install the motor, fuel, driveline, brakes, suspension (all non-running and without anything electrical)

 

Pull all the mechanical **** out.

 

Prime again.

Paint. inside and under.

Put all the mechanical **** back in.

 

Wiring nightmare.

 

Car now runs, is painted inside and bottom.

 

Paint removable body parts insides (doors, hood, hatch, fenders)

 

Install removable body parts.

 

Paint exterior.

 

Put the car in my garage with no JCI. Cover it with a car cover and never look at it again or drive it for the rest of my life.

the fuel cell is a good option, but I have read that if your going to do it, opt for a nice aluminum unit with a bladder and foam on the inside.. which can go up to $1,000!!? a lot of guys wish they kept their factory tank and welded on a sump.
