American Rally 86 UPDATE

Yeah, I looked at yours and said, "Hey! I can do that!" lol

I had wanted to do it, but wasnt sure how to execute it. Then I saw your build, and liked how you made yours.

[mc68]

hehehe, yours is much neater though

just dont roll it like i did mine

[dazed_driver]

Yeah.... It'll happen eventually though... or I'm not going fast enough

Dude, are you going to throw the car from a cliff while you're in it?

That roll cage has more steel in it than the whole car chassis!

Although that's the safe way to go, I guess!

How it will connect to the dashbar...





Seat mount "frame" bars IN

Seat mount's figured out (corollas suck for race seats...)

Dash acquired and cut to fit, one bracket fabbed, need a few more

Front Pin mounts done

Rear pin mounts have the hole drilled, and thats it

Dash bar located and welded.

Steering column attachment fabricated. Half attached. Kind of.

A pillar gussets fabricated and installed

Fuel cell cage IN

Trunk floor patched around cell cage

I'm sure im missing something, but there is the gist of things

[dazed_driver]

Forgot one....

WOW, what a great job here.

Congrats

And a bit more progress...

My Dad has been feverishly working on the brake pedal while I've been working on all sorts of other stuff... He's gotten the balance bar adapter in and welded, and tacked the frame up for me to weld. I'll get some more pics of the assembly when its right prior to paint, and after.

Here is the pedal, ready for paint and finishing, but i was checking clearance for the steering column. Everything was good!



And the reinforcement plate for the firewall, well, at least part of it... I may be running a small tube to the strut tower depending on flex.


Here is the bracket I fabbed for the steering column



Its finally living in it's little home...

I'll get some more pics soon.

Well, got the dead pedal fabbed and installed today.


Dead pedal

Inside... sprayed with weld thru primer to help keep rust down. I forgot to do this to the steering column bracket. Oops

Tig welded top. Kinda tall welds... too much rod

checkin out its home

gotta check the angles out

Its moved in!

Solid foundation

Strong attachment up top

That's pretty much all I did today. I moved a bunch of stuff around so I can finish building the rotissorie to finish the underside of my car. Overkill? probably, but hey, the metal was free.
