Hey guys,
I thought this may be a useful thread for others early in the build phase. It seems difficult early on to know what modifications/additions one might like to do until doing a near full assembly of the car. Unless doing a dry fit of everything first, this means the frame is already coated and modifications/welding are less ideal at that point (but not impossible of course).
I've been reading through some of the build threads and collecting a list of these for myself to consider before I take the coating step.
I understand some of these may have been early DF options and some may even be standard on every frame built now. I definitely don't have all the info on the few options I have found so far. Not to say I'm planning on adding all or any of these myself, but I was hoping to start a conversation with others further along and more experienced with the whole process that have additional ideas/inputs they're willing to share on this topic including items on the list I have started. I've added links and names for what I can remember or manage to find again.
So far the list I have:
-"oh $h!t" handle on the passenger side
-Left foot rest on drivers side (JeffsGoblin)
-Permanent mounting bracket for fuse box
-Additional floor support (Karter2026)
-Weld in nuts for assembly of tunnel cover (maybe others)(Karter2026)
-Additional tabs for panels
-Additional tabs on sides for 'internal' side panels (DCMoney)

-Brackets/tabs for license plate (already standard?)
-Common grounding lug(s) (already standard?)
-Modifications for after market seats?
-Additional bar/s for connecting 5 point harness (had to do with proper angle of the straps)

I can try to come back and update this from time to time, but I've found it hard to take time digging through pages and pages of build threads lately. Hopefully this can serve as a localized spot for weld-in add-ons.
