Fender brace and Oil filter bracket done!
winter is here and time to do some housekeeping. I decided to do some chrome and polish. Before I started, I wanted to add a couple items. First, the oil filter was mounted with just a couple spacers to hold it off the inner fender. These spacers looked very amateurish, so I decided to fabricate an aluminum mounting block. I made it out of cardboard first then cut it up to make a pattern for the aluminum stock. A buddy was kind enough to tig weld it up for me after I cut all the pieces. When it was done, we added the oil pressure gauge to dress it up. Then the inner fender support bar was made. I took a piece of steel tubing and some flat stock and fabricated this support rod. This should help re-enforce the front end. I have been working on these for a while and today I just got the fender brace back from the chrome shop. They did a great job.
This picture shows the engine bay with the support bar and the oil filter bracket.
This is a closer view of how the support bar attaches to the fender-well. and how the oil filter bracket is on the inner fender.

It is too DAMN cold here. No racing for another couple months! But this season we are coming out in the 9's. I'm narrowing the rear (bigger tires) and adding the spray!
