OK, pan # 5 is completed and installed. I used some fiberglass insulation on the cat and right behind the down pipe (photo # 10) since it is so close to the trans and now enclosed. I also put a vent right under the cat to help get some heat out. I also fabbed new driveshaft safety loops since the old ones hung down to the ground. Other than that it was just a big pain in neck panel.

Next up is the differential. My brain is cooked from the heat, hopefully inspiration for that will visit me in my sleep tonight. Ha.
I plan to leave Sept. 10,catch a nights rest en route to Radium Springs for an overnight visit with the Gilkisons,then head west next morning.
I've got to make the driver's meeting the morning of the 14th,the 1st day of racing.
The gods of speed are having a hell of a laugh watching me try and get ready!
