Paul, if you don't mind me asking how forming the cowlings? A pull max, stampings,? The project looks great, you are very talented. Thanks for the pics

 

[ZTFab]

Thanks RJ. They are all hand formed in multiple pieces using various tools. Tank Rolls on my bead roller, T-dollies, sheet metal brake w/radius dies, and my slip roll. They are then all welded together and blended down.

Started building some new rear shock mounts for Mike's car today. Getting it setup for the SR1 class next season with a first shakedown run at the Elsinore GP in two weeks.

This is the start of the passenger side. Since Mike may want to use this car for dual purpose, Desert and short course, I am building adjustable coil-over mounts with a removable cross brace to access the fuel cell.

Thanks Paul, don't take this the wrong way, but I hate when you do stuff like this. (Not Really) I just keep kicking myself in the ass that we weren't able to cross paths about two years ago when this all started.
Oh well not much I can do now......except possibly have you build another one. Would love to run the ZT FAB SR1.

By the way the shock mounts are awesome can't wait to run it.

Thanks for everything you do.
