my first riv Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'd like to touch on something that I haven't seen mentioned yet, the welding on the chassis and body work as well as the bead rolled work and what I think is some wheeling machine work on the sheet metal looks phenomenal! I would bet that this thing will handle like it's on rails when it's finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTX-SLPR Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Been a bit both since there was an update and since I was home to repost the pictures Exhaust Update The owner as lamenting that he's going to miss Hot August Nights AND he only has 8wks till Goodguys and this is the status of the car Legendary Mark Stielow "supervising" work: A bit more work done in the interim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool57 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Looks like the trunk floor is welded to the frame(?) (I'm on my phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTX-SLPR Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It is, I asked the same thing and it's apparently how the Roadster Shop does it counting on the suspension being "free" enough to not need the isolation of body mounts. Personally, I think there is going to be a level of accepted NVH that the approach requires that is likely well worth the trade off for handling.

EmTee Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hmmm, so was this the inspiration for the license plate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIjZE4kcg_Q Or do you drive it around with 4 of the coils grounded? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
