Hi Tim,

Car is looking awesome. It looks like you guys are going to be installing a fuel cell in the truck with the way you are closing off the rear firewall. Which cell are you guys planning to use.

Last Question - what are your plans for padding the halo bar for street use.

The C&R radiator is a trick piece it has a built in engine oil cooler and power steering cooler. Here's the link to the project page with the latest update pics. http://www.detroitspeed.com/projects...amaro-pg1.html

No plans for a fuel cell but the dry sump tank may end up there so we prepared a firewall just in case it does. I also plan on a on board fire system so I want the passenger area completely sealed. I going to use sfi approved padding for the bar.

I was thinking the same thing. However since I picked the wrong parents and I am only 5' 7" the elevated seats might help me

Matt they're Recarro seats, the same ones Kyle has in his car. I'm not sure if they make them or if they just modify them to sit lower but they have a ton of adjustabiliy front to rear, I can move the seat from my knees hitting the dash to where I can't touch the pedals or the steering wheel. I'll ask what tracks they are and let you know.

Those Recaro's are some of the nicest seats out there.

Got a Question - what is the car going to look like when it's done ?

Ya Know Color, Wheels, Hood Tall or Short Spoiler
