    Today I finished mounting the windshield and also the Willwood aluminum brake pedal/dual master cylinders.

    Yet to be determined, but it sure won't be light enough lol!
    SB NOS minimum weight for drag radial is now 2300 lbs w/driver, and there is NO WAY I'll be close to that. It weighed about 2815 lbs with me in it before, and I'm really not sure how much it weighs now. I didn't get nearly as serious as Johnny Quick did with his old coupe, but I'm hoping it sits around 2450-2500 lbs race ready. It has no carbon other than the new wing, and my SBF is chunky with the 200 lb Dart iron block, 30+ lb CHI cast intake, dry sump oiling, etc. I'm really just giving what I had a makeover.

    Speaking of, HOLEY SEAT!
    I got carried away with the Greenlee knockout punch set and a 12 pack of Bud Light, but lost over 3.25 lbs from the Kirkey seat. It's still plenty solid when mounted in the cage. There's more in it, but I think I'll stop before I go too far. It will still have a cover snapped over it.

    LOL! Sheesh Denny, it took a couple days over a weekend to finish off the seat (and the beer). Not just today! 😁

    But, I did pick up the quarter windows and get them installed. Jason at JJ's window tinting in Tecumseh did an awesome job tinting the glass quarters to match the Optic Armor rear and door windows. I dropped them off to him so he wouldn't have to climb inside the rollcage. Also, Mustang guys know how hard it is to avoid the white tint area around the "dots" at the perimeter of these windows, no problems here. Thanks Jason!

    I got some work done on the brake lines. The line lock mounted inside the firewall near the master cylinders, with the proportioning valve inline and pointed downwards so it can be reached below the dash. There is a bulkhead fitting through the firewall to each front brake flex hose. The rear brake line will run along the driver's sill plate area, then through a bulkhead fitting in the rear floor. I ran out of fittings, so I'll have to order a few more and find something else to do today.
