WOUW, i'm in love  Shocked what a nice cage and panneling, Chris is a master in this.

(Tiki and Paul are doing some nice ovals (we are friends) hope to get on the line with them on the strip (in the future) with my 68 turbo fastback)

Keep up the nice work "your car is a BIG inspiration"

Greetings mycha

Many thanks Mycha

See you at the track Grin

To solve the bracing issue at the back of the car,instead of using tube,Chris has integrated the bracing into the rear firewall, using steel sheet for the outer sections of the firewall,welded to both the body and cage.The body is super rigid now Grin

Hey Michael

The valance was a lucky find on Ebay. I believe it was made by a company called Wizard of Rods,here in the UK (now out of business I think) Yes it is glass with no exhaust cut out's Cool

I will let you know if I find anything that is suitable Wink

I got my front valance from a company called Auto Craft engineering (www.autocrafteng.co.uk) ,it is top quality and the guys there are very helpful,I am sure they will supply a single skin rear valance if you ask them. Smiley

I got the front and rear valances for my Oval from Auto Craft too, they asked me at the time if I wanted the standard two exhaust cutouts or a single one in the middle, or in my case, none at all Smiley
