"Something through Timu's seat, up in the ass of Timu" is all I could think about when Tim was talking about not weakening the floor of the car. ruclips.net/video/zKJJop740vw/видео.html (context).

With the fisting motion 😅
Apparently they ran over a steel post that got kicked up and stabbed through the floor and seat and poked him just hard enough to bruise, fortunately stopping short of a more severe injury.

This is the best one yet. My 71 Dodge Demon is what I'm looking into building. This car is the closest equivalent I've seen yet.

Look at Mike Hurst's Ford Capri

Tim O'Neil's ARA rally car these days is a 69 AMC AMX, also pretty close

@@SvenDansk7 that's probably a very good car to look at. I plan to stick with my 318 V8, sit somewhere around 300hp (it's probably close to that now). Interesting to hear that he has Subaru front suspension on it in another video. The Mopar cars from that era all have torsion bar front suspension so it will be very interesting to see what I can work out there. There are a lot of TB rate options, but I suspect damper choices will be my limit.
