The roll bar is now installed. All of our roll bars are now made from 321 stainless. Chrome is extremely difficult to make look good. We gave up long ago trying to make chrome look good and just switched to a seamless, DOM stainless tubing.

The dash is now installed. You would be amazed how much easier it is to install a dash when the car is sideways. Also, you can see the windshield is installed.

Here is a close up of the rear suspension mounted on the car. Special thanks to Penske for donating the shocks! Those rear lower control arms are Sandwich's latest and greatest with all the deburr paths programmed right into the arm.

Here Sandwich is showing Utah Cobra Club member Brian Botts how to grease our latest CV joint set up. He was a great help today!

Brain is a quick learner! Here he is in the middle of the grease. He was here right at 10 to start spinning wrenches. He was willing to do anything to move the car forward.

Thomas is checking some parts back by the differential. Every time he sees something his mind is always trying to figure out how to do it better. The differential is a 3.54 ratio.

Here is a picture of Sandwich. Sandwich also donated his Saturday today to finish the car. I have a tremendous amount of respect for this man and I love him dearly. He has put in countless hours over the years with me and my crazy ideas. He has never failed to show up to whatever I cook up with a smile. He never complains and always stays to the end to make sure everything gets finished right.

Todd Hinckley from the Utah Cobra Club wrenched in the engine and transmission and then went home in his Kirkham. It was a beautiful day today.

Here is a close up of Todd--notice he has his 6 point harness on. You can never be too safe. This is a good reminder for all of us.
