Cutting the roof gave us the ability to get the best cage clearance and also accessibility for welding

 

 

You can see the seat being test fitted into the car. This is the old seat, we got something new coming

Here we decided to modernize the engine bay, which we do now on a lot of show cars. Complete welding and cleanup of the engine bay so that all the panels are smooth when painted. This is a lot of effort, but to get the best show look in an engine bay, its a must. Approximately 100 holes will be closed up. These holes are from things like the factory air intake, wiring harness clips, bolt holes for various factory pieces that are removed.

 

 

The view we hope all our competitors see. Went to dual parachute for additional safety at high speeds in the 1/4 mile

What are the red and black plugs next to the rear number plate, are they for the chutes?

[nero]

Those are the old charging battery post's, that is planned to be changed when the car is redone with the new setup

Decided to use a front motor plate on the Copper Supra. Like our other cars this will make everything for engine removal easy and also make it easy to transport spare motors.

 

 

Went ahead and rebuild the whole front area of the car, before the bars tied into the shock towers but were more direct and stopped at the shock tower; this time we go over the shock towers and hug the fenders to keep the bars out of the way and looking clean. Also this keeps the bar in 1 piece going over the shock tower but still ties the shock tower into the cage.

 

 

A shot of the finished welded piece

 

 

You can see in this picture the old shock tower pad's, which have the bar removed but the pad's for the rollbar still there.

 

 

With the front and rear motor plate, this allows the tranmsission and assembly to be seperate part of the car, also helps tie the whole car together with the motor assembly.

 

 

Sticking with the air/air intercooler. You may not believe it, but you will see an air/air intercooler on the car as it has been for years.
