Starting my CR build!

lizardskin might be a good product to look at to spray the underside of the car.

I’ve been doing some research into heat shielding products. I fabricated a shield for the front of the passenger toe box. It’s aluminum with air space and heat shielding material inside. I’m going with Heatshield Products Lava mat for the rest of the under car shielding. I looked at Lizard skin. It looks like good stuff. By the time I bought the gun to shoot it and the product, it was somewhat pricey. The Lava Mat is not cheap either but, it’s peel and stick. Easy. I got the headers and pipes wrapped. Just waiting on the mat.

I was trying to decide what to do with the firewall. Do I paint it, leave it in the gel coat? I looked around and finally decided on aluminum cladding. I just really like the look. I’m not going with the hood popper thing, so that’s not going to be an issue. Have to finish a few more things but it’s coming along.

I like the clean look of the firewall! Will consider for my CR as well.

Haven’t posted in a bit. Finished the brakes, clutch cable, steering, throttle cable and pedals. Took it for a spin around the yard in the “go cart” form. That was fun! I put the body on just to mock up the seats and roll bars and check fitment of everything else. Going to try to finish the roll bars tomorrow. They are just sitting in there now. They will need to come up a bit and be made to meet the frame behind the seats. I’ll post pics when they’re done.
