Quick question, are the jack hooks on this going to be functional? (meaning that you won't risk tweaking the body when the car is lifted by the jack hooks). Just curious, I figured if any frame could support this type of load, it would be yours.

You are right, the original car tweaked the body if you picked the car up by the jack hooks. Of course, as a race car, they really didn't care. Our car "should" be able to be picked up by the jack hooks...I haven't tried yet!

Hopefully I will post more pics tonight. This week was more engineering and calculations than making parts. A big chunk of the week was spent making tooling for the body tubes.
