Looking good! I have had all of 30 min in the last 3 weeks to work on mine. Sold my bucket seats and ordered the ones like yours.... mid July before they come in..
What kind of tires are those? I havnt seen them before.

Bracket goes inside of fiberglass... have to push fasteners with great force. I put my hood on this morning and thought something was wrong but some elbow grease will get it done.

Take a pair of pliers and squeeze down the springy things. It’ll help a lot when locking them in.

If I remember right, I put the hood on and mounted the bolt/nuts by the cab. Then i mounted the bracket and locked in the fasteners up front. I wiggled the hood and centered it, then marked my holes, drilled and rivet.

They are predrilled now and allen heads. I'm going to try and bend the springs down and see if that helps. I need to add a foam strip to the radiator to avoid hitting the grill at the bottom but should be ok.

You will need to adjust the spring tension by compressing it with plies or moving it back up with a flat blade screwdriver until it locks without slop and too much force.
Also, make sure the tabs are angled as far up as you can easily bend them.

Alright so I have not updated in a min. Seats and floors in. I now know why we start with the floor pans first as i had to take the seats out more than enough times.

Installed floor mats. Simple cut to fit off amazon.
Installed front grille.
Wrapped side panels and hood and installed both. Had to jam a screwdriver in between the rad mount and the spring to push it apart to get the DZUS to seat and grab.
Installed the NRG quick disconnect steering wheel and hub
Had some snow in between ?

Next to do is button up the small things.

Nice. I like the black 'Lotus' nose ring, looks really sharp with your body panel color. :D
