Hey Rich. Looks amazing as commented earlier. Could you please put some picks up of how you mounted your seat please. I have just bought a new seat and was planning on buying one of topcat's weld in seat rail kits, but im interested to see how you did yours.
Cheers

This is gonna be a seriously quality car. You need to aim faster than 13.5 though. Hop it goes aswell as it looks

I seriously doubt it!

There's 2 tubular seat rails welded in from side to side of the main cage and then I made a couple of threaded boss's to weld in worked a treat and adds strength across the floor.

Cheers guys :) Can't wait to see how much quicker it is, I've still not had a good run with the limiter set to 8500. I could only rev it to 7400 at Avon
Must get it built!!!
