When you're done, maybe you can remount that pedal box further back, to make it fit you better?6'2"-250#
I use the same Fram filter as a pre-filter (between the tank and pump) for fuel injected systems. Kind of acts like a surge tank / pick-up reservoir for the higher volume Bosch (FI) electric pumps. Plus keeps crud out of the pump. Works great.a huge Fram reservoir
So yeah, thought about putting it on the "suck side". Elected to go with a small high-flow, see-thru filter in line tween the tank and pump. Drove her today. Stupid fast response, was very pleased. Also, since I had the head off, I swapped in a new t-stat, with the "hole drilled" trick. Was very happy with the vehicle temps while driving hard and getting stuck at a light for a few minutes. Hoping I am back to the super reliable car I have enjoyed for so long.

That will be fine for the regular type electric pump you have. FI pumps benefit from a little larger pre-filter to help them get a good inlet supply.Elected to go with a small high-flow, see-thru filter in line in front of the pump.
I've wondered if that hole trick would help with bleeding the air out of the cooling system. Several people have difficulty getting it burped. Having a little passage may help?I swapped in a new t-stat, with the "hole drilled" trick.
The roll bar was to meet competition regs, but the only off the shelf one I know of (OMP) intrudes into the passenger compartment to the extent that a crash helmet would be mandatory to cope with hitting your head on it over every bump. This design means it can be driven on the roads without race wear. Ideally I'd drop the seat pan a couple of inches to get my six foot hieght far enough the roll bar. You can keep the standard fuel tank as well. The rear window was a case of lots of trials and plenty of errors. If I did it again I'd get the rear stays in line more with the angle of the b post to hide it moreLooks great. You might have stated this before, but looks like a rollbar behind the rear window? Have more pics of that?

Removed steering wheel, much better.
I've also seen ones that extend up past the top to give more headroom. But then you can't use the top at all.The roll bar was to meet competition regs, but the only off the shelf one I know of (OMP) intrudes into the passenger compartment

If I didn’t have the original retro plates I think it would bother me a lot moreGreat looking car. It’s a shame that some of our States require a front mounted license plate.
My dog when she was a puppy climbed over top of the car and broke them off and I just made some rubber caps so they don’t scratch the windshield until I actually put new ones onAnd I also really like your wipers!

If placed upright behind the window you have as many issues for much the same reasons - angle/shape of rear bulkhead, excessive angle of uprights, bends in uprights to avoid bodywork and find decent lower fixing points, and actually project beyond your head/helmet to do it's primary purposeI've also seen ones that extend up past the top to give more headroom. But then you can't use the top at all.
When I first saw the partial view of yours I was thinking the entire roll-bar was behind the rear window. Was that a possibility, or would it not meet the rules?
