Time for an update.
The firewall is finished. If you are late to the game the reason for the new firewall was that I am allowed to move the motor back 51mm behind the original firewall under the WTAC rules. The original firewall was cut out, the engine was mounted in its permanent position, cardboard templates where made with the engine in place and then a new firewall was made based on those templates. I used a plug weld technique to attach the new sheet metal basically mimicking the original construction. It was a lot of drilling around all of the perimeters. I used a weld-through primer on the back side before doing the plug welds with my MIG. After welding there was a lot of grinding with a flap disc to give a smooth finish but I think it came up really good. The whole lot has been primed now to prevent any surface rust while the build continues. Here is a video of the inside and out https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cjw7d..._web_copy_link With the firewall finished I am moving on with the front pushrod suspension. I have purchased all the rod ends and bearings for the bellcranks and pushrods. A friend at work has been putting my bellcrank design into Fusion360 so we can first 3D print the bellcranks for testing and mounting and then later have them CNC machined from aluminium.

A little streamlining of the wheel well exits to help the air evacuate. After doing all that sheet metal work on the firewall I figured now was the perfect time to finish this job.
Both sides came out really nice. |

I have been working on the front pushrod suspension. The design I made for the bellcranks have been transferred into CAD software and then 3D printed by my friend at work. This allows me to fabricate shock mounts and bellcrank mounts on the main frame rail and also the pushrod mounts on the lower control arms.
Some revisions will be made and this is the beauty of 3D printing them first but eventually they will be CNC machined from aluminium alloy. |

Thank you ^^^
Here is a little video of the pushrod suspension CAD, 3D printing and mock up on the car. https://www.instagram.com/reel/ClZ79..._web_copy_link |

I salute you for maintaining a forum thread with a sick build in 2022 on NASIOC. The torch burns on. Cant wait to see this thing setting lap records on tarmac. nice.
<- I'm actually amused but wanted to put an unamused emoji for old times sake. |

Some of you may know I broke my leg and haven't been able to do much of anything let alone work on this car.
I've just put together the first of a series of videos, please check it out https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqfRh..._web_copy_link |

Another video on my channel. This one is basically what's required to finish the project and some of the thoughts behind my decisions moving forward with the build.

Measure a million times, cut once for each of the one thousand prototypes, I say.
All joking aside, I really enjoy reading your progress. I'm enjoy learning, even though it's something I'll never invest in. Passion projects are always fascinating! Thanks for the updates! |

Hey guys, it has been a while!
I have 2 new videos for you. It's explained in the videos but basically I built a big trolley so I can keep the car lifted up high so it's easier to work on and can be pushed back in the corner at the end of the day. Part 1. Part 2. |

I will have a full video soon detailing the whole fabrication process of the passenger side front pushrod suspension.
Here is a YouTube short for now. https://youtube.com/shorts/KkeOEYFil...cPOYmM9x1wmiTq |
