I love that you're building everything you can for the car yourself. I would love to become more handy with custom things like this. This car is going to be awesome.

Thanks!

we;re lucky our team has a good amount of hands on experience and access to some decent equipment.

turned out pretty decent for a first go. might be a little thin but we have a lightweight bracing idea from the cage so it should work.

As a life long weight weinie it's hard to add the weight - but for a hillclimb car it's worth it. Per pikes peak rules we could have used 1.5" going to a 1.75" for the main tubes was a minimal gain and an added piece of mind.

Very observant

Since we had time before the motor was in the car I told them it could be bumped behind others as needed. The motor should be going in next week so it's just in time!

My buddy has been waiting months for his CBRD 7163 kit also, guess theres been issues with vendors for the turbo in general.

I ordered a radiator last summer, after 3 months of waiting I asked Chad for a refund, which he graciously provided. Ended up leaving the OEM CSF rad in place as it works just fine.

I love the parts they make but being a small shop sure has its downsides when you do everything yourself. Gotta start farming out work at some point.
