World's 1st Manual C8 Corvette Drift Car - More Fab Work Before Paint - Ep. 22

If you love custom fabricating as much as I do, then this episode is for you!

In an effort to get the C8 sent off to paint, there's a long list of things we need to tackle throughout the entire car.

First we start off with mounting the oil cooler with a custom channel that makes installation and any servicing much easier to do.

Once that's put in, Alec made some tabs, so we can get the mount in the carbon fiber roof in place.

Next on the list was getting the exterior door handles mocked up and added to each side. These are what we use on the current C6 race car.

In order to get the windshield added, I needed to get a center brace mounted to make sure it stayed rock solid.

While I did that, Alec tackled the center console with a custom carbon fiber plate and a custom 4x4 inch box tube of carbon fiber to cover the shift cables.

Before we could get the MOMO seatbelts in, I worked on getting the custom eyelets welded to the chassis.

We wrapped up this episode with Alec trimming and adding the poly carbonate rear window, which turned out awesome!

Big thanks to everyone for following along as my team and I transform this flood damaged C8 Corvette into a full Formula Drift spec drift car!

the glass is made to keep the heat out of the cab

You guys do a great job, one thing that I think would improve the video would be better lighting, it’s hard to see the details especially on the bottom of the chassis being black or every dark

"I hate only having 3 inches." Yeah me too.

Just left the drift cave merch store. It’s my third time purchasing your merch. I love my old Falken livery hoodie. Picked up a fresh black Borla livery hoodie and a Falken pin. A lot of stuff is sold out. How do I get that throwback Heatwave trucker hat with the stripes????
