Foxy Green Foxbody Build

I don't know if I mentioned it here somewhere..

I made my own fuel lines, using Vibrant fuel lines and fittings up the the regulator, then cheaped out and bought Amazon "evil energy" lines and fittings and made up the lines to the carb. Everything seems to be working great with no leaks.
 
Throwback 10 years ago in Texas when my boss let me park the turd at his house.

Altered my seat brackets to lower the seat 3/4 inch. Makes me feel better about my skull being slightly further from the paper thin top on these cars. Plus if I ever wear a helmet this will help tremendously.

I don't want race seats in it, so I just cut and welded the stock tracks20240515_141444.jpg
 
Added a fire extinguisher nearby just in case. Tomorrow is the big day

I had to cut and lower the floor pan in my car 3" just to have 3" clearance from the top of my helmet.

Do the shoulder belts mount to the floor or roll hoop?

Roll bar. But if I'm actually going to track the car id need to swap in a race seat for safety sake. Any kind of accident would kill me with the stock seat and harness

Lot's of people running fast with stock seats, need to be safe on the street too. You can slit the stock seat for the crotch strap if that's the problem.

I don't trust the shoulder straps. They have to go upward slightly to get over the seat, then back down to the roll bar.

I'm worried about the belts shifting side to side and falling off the edge of the seat in a serious accident, I need a way to keep the straps at shoulder width, so I need to weld something on the crossbar so they don't shift.

The other thing i don't like is when I tighten the shoulder straps it really compresses the foam at the shoulders. Hard to predict what would happen in a violent accident.
 
The wrap around shoulder straps sure can move around if that's what you have. Have seen some of those aluminum collars that bolt on used to keep them in place, quick and easy.

I'll look into that, thank you
 
I was looking at split collars, and they were more expensive than expected. Bought this, I'll see how it works.
