I thought I'd start a thread about the firewall I plan to build for the "Z". Time to put the sheet metal tools to work. So far I'm just in the ''ideas" stage.

Before I start the firewall I wanted to get the English Wheel built. Ran into a little snag though. I made up the bottom anvil assembly last night. Cut the frame parts out today. Got a couple pcs. clamped together to weld.......and then stripped the threads out of the torch head on the TIG. and it's saturday.
There goes the weekend. ...............

Figured I would ask my questions here since this is the most recent thread...
Is that intercooler Water to air? I noticed the smaller set of bungs.
How are you setting up the steering column? Im going to take a wild guess that you are building in a crush point...but any ideas on that?
I also noticed youre going to be running a Turbo 400 with a transbrake (at least thats what it looks like...feel free to correct me)
A procharged 540 would move that car pretty good, might have a slight hesitation at idle though
Oh, wait, that would be the cam. 
Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
