SS/Comp Style Cobalt build

[SSDiv6]

What class are you planning to run?
The reason why I ask is in Super Stock Modified and Comp Super Modified, dry sump oiling systems are prohibited.

I plan to bracket race and run one of the super classes for now. If I did venture into S/S I would need a whole different engine setup. It would still require at least an external pump as the Jesel belt drive eliminates any internal pump.

Coly, great job. Hang with the updates

I know from experience with posting the Super 10 project the more details and the more photos the better. Us gear heads like the tech items and "how I did this" items.

I kinda got a late start with the documentation of the build.

I apologize for the lack of updates, I lost several weeks due to my welding partner backing out. But I am glad to say that I have found someone else and couldn't be happier that actual progress is taking place. I also did a little two steps back one step forward as I have decided to run Super Stock Modified, not just build a legal car to bracket race with. That means the dry sump equipment was sold and replaced with a trick custom Moroso pan.
.
I also found that the GM heads I planned to use were not in the classification guide so.....that had to be corrected too.
Back to the progress on the chassis......
The 4 rocker panel reinforcement plates have been welded
.
Moving onto the floor structure.
The main frame rails are spliced into the SPS front frame and connect to the 4 link crossmember. With everything squared, leveled, measured, and checked half a dozen times the rocker bars and forward bars are added. The crossmember in the center will locate the center X bars and a tans case was set in place to ensure the crossmember is not offset too far from the front bars. In the picture below the driver side is done with the exception of seat mounts and pedals. The pass side should be done this week and then it all gets welded up!
