The Black Mamba

All new custom fabrication of floors begins

Floors tie in the frame with the body

Rear seat area is eliminated to enhance structural integrity

Frame arch over rear end requires special consideration

Custom firewall is mocked up

Inner engine compartment fender panels take shape

Engine bay sheet metal ties frame to the body

Wheel well fabrication assists engine compartment protection

Wheel and tire geometry must be considered for proper wheel well fabrication

Custom interior wiring is mocked up during metal fabrication to prevent future misplacement

Header design requires precise tolerances

Hood actuator support fabrication is critical

Transmission linkage must be accommodated

Side-opening hood supports and hinges present a challenge
