Great job Ron. I think we owe him a meal or something. If nobody else springs for it I will.

Can you say tight fitting over the Rack!

Thanks Adam but no need. I'm just helping out where I can.

I placed the engine as far back and as low as I could with leaving enough room to clear the rack. There is only about a 1/4 inch. I also wanted to make sure that the engine sat low enough that it would clear the stock hood if it had the engine from my Cobra in it. With the position of the engine in the Rx-Snake the hood line is about 1/2 inch closer to the engine than it is in my Cobra. I also mirrored the distance from the bell housing to the firewall to the Cobra so that the clearance between the engine and firewall was the same which was 2 1/2 inches.

Oh man those are some seriously solid mounts. So my idea for Delrin bushings went out the window. Can we change the name of the car to thumper?

Hey great work though

I had another idea for a project car; a street legal Gen II Camaro, flat black with an Ace of Spades on the side that would naturally play Motorhead on infinite loop. Maybe we could call that Thumper.

Let's finish this one first though.

Well project cars are a kind of community property until sale, where the proceeds go to the next project car. But I was thinking that at time of sale, any Motorgen user who has put some blood sweat and tears into said project car could buy it for a well below market price, but with a "gentlemen's agreement". But we'll see, that's a ways off still.

Anywho, Jim Norton (comedian) has some pretty funny stories about Lemmy. Apparently the guy lives of speed and "barely legal" poo-nanny.

I really like the second gen "F" body stuff. Great cars to work with. Strong and easy to make handle up to 1G. Can get to 1.25g with more work. So much aftermarket stuff................plus all the WS6 from the T/A.

I've built 4--2 of them for myself.
