I gotcha now, That won't be applicable in any instance for which this car will be driven. For a DD or a more regularly utilized car I'd maintain the t-stat. This will be a fair weather/ weekend warrior
New Year...New Shade Of Grey. This Time It’s For Keeps

It’s coming along nicely, I love the orange pop of the fuel rails! Looks like you may be on track to be running on May 1, way to go!

It’s very possible and I cannot tell you what an accomplishment that would be. There’s hundred of hours between just 2 guys on this car
Fab day. Spent some time creating some brackets that would flush mount some twin contour electric slim fans to the 3” radiator and core suppprt. Fits like a glove. Also welded up a remote oil filter relocation bracket so I could mount the filter in my driver side wheel well
Coming along nicely. Really, really, really ****ing nicely. Haha
If your car builder doesn’t take the time and energy making sure the bottom of the car matches the perfection of the rest of the car...find a more detail oriented builder

I love it that you take the time to polish shafts, you really are quite skilled at it. It totally changed the appearance of my undercarriage. While my wife hasn't seen my polished shaft, I think she'll like it too! (admittedly, I've only ever seen photos of my undercarriage)
There’s so many puns here I don’t know where to begin lol
Hahahahahaha

It's build threads like these that make me stay on forums. I hate facebook...alot, and I hate that alot of people only post on it, cause stuff like this would get lost over time on it. I love reading through threads like these!
High honor, thank you very much. The pics are just a snapshot of the work that’s involved in building top flight cats so it means a great deal to be validated like that
I think you should leave it half way done. That way people can see the before and after...….well maybe not.
Your willingness to go the extra "miles" amazes me.

Thank you again!
speaking of.... this is the “miles” I traveled to mount the catch can in the rear of the car.
Couple reasons
1) the car will see track duty from time to time so I prefer to vent vapors BEHIND my rear tires
2) obvious benefit of hiding lines in the bay and not cluttering it with more tanks
took a tad bit of innovation but I’m super happy with it. Hiding the line in the inner rocker keeps it from bulging the carpet and uses space that otherwise serves no purpose

Not concerned one bit. A tremendous amount of race cars run their tanks in the back. We won’t be making near enough power to create positive pressure through a -10 line. Mark works on 2000+ hp race cars daily and they run -12 to the rear
Sort of off topic but how do you like the texture of that shop floor. I am starting a shop build and am starting the process of shopping for floor coatings.
I agree 100% and most don't do it that way because of the time involved, don't know, and don't see the potential issue of oil leaking and wetting the tires with oil during a pass.
For the fuel system, are you running a charcoal canister to vent the tank? What brand and model fuel lines are you using? All I've heard is Teflon lined is the only way to go for combatting deteriation and permeation of the inner liner over time. I'd hope a good synthetic elastomer like Viton could be used instead and regular AN fittings.... I'll probably call Earls and see what they recommend.

We’re actually building this car in a different garage that’s closer to Mark due to the quarantine. But the floors in the main shop are fantastic, super durable and beyond worthy of an investment
I routed a vent line from the top of the tank to a breather filter that sits next to the fuel fill behind the door. I’ll snap a pic. As for line it’s nothing crazy. Just summit PTFE alcohol tolerant line. Don’t overthink it. Unless you plan to have ethanol in your lines year round it takes more than most people think to deteriorate a lining. I plan to run 93 in fuel system before it goes into winter storage. I run pump e85 all driving season. I already have almost $5k in my fuel system. It adds up SO fast when you factor in 50+ various AN fittings.
