step away from the holesaw. It's for your own good
just kidding...supafly, as always
it's all how you design it. If all the latch is designed to do is hold it in from swinging out it would be fine. small spring clips hold radiators in on millions of cars. they work b/c they are not holding the radiator up...just keeping it from rocking backwards.
If you designed it where it would pull the qtr in and forward it would do the job. And I'm talking about one of the cam type the ones kind of like a chain boomer.
how heavy is this thing gonna be?... looks like it is adding up

Went over to Ryan's last night and happened to have my camera with me. He's been working on all sorts of things lately. floor sheetmetal, finishing up tcase mounts, exhaust, and header building. Here are some pics.
Here's a couple pictures of the Driver's side header.
Here's a few of the rear of the exhaust system

Time again for an update. Ryan has been doing a lot of welding as usual. There is a lot of stuff that is tough to get pictures of, but I try. These pics still don't do justice to the way the thing looks in person.
Here's a couple of his power steering reservoir:
Here's the thermostat housing "waterlog" partially finished:
Here it is with the fittings on it:
This is a shot of the passenger side header. Tough to get a picture of, but it looks slick. That's the turbo downpipe poking out above the header in the photo:

He's been working on the interior sheetmetal some more and building the dash. This thing is developing more personality as he goes.
Here's the dash so far:
