  1. So that is 9" back and 1.5" down from the scarab position? How much did you have to cut the firewall to make that work?
  2. gasp... awesome! How far back did you set the motor? I noticed the fire wall is cut out a bit for the distributor.
  3. building any sort of structure to replicate the seats is certainly not going to save you any weight
  4. When you seam weld up a chassis do you hit both sides of the seam? IE top seam and bottom seam? Or do you just weld one, or drill and plug weld? What is the proper technique?
  5. I have had pretty good luck with the aircraft remover brand paint remover, I think its made my Klean-Strip. Sandblasting always works but makes one hell of a mess.

    bay area huh? what range are you going to?
  7. any pics of the intercooler set up? What size inlet and outlet?
  8. got a leaf blower? http://videos.streetfire.net/video/ab544e3b-5dff-416d-9cfd-a1ad23ca9564.htm
  9. Oh! There is a Z behind that huge intercooler! I didn't see it there.

  11. Warning, several years ago I bought one from HF and had it fail. Shooting the spring out but luckily doing no harm. Be careful with cheapo tools.
  12. Expensive littler bugger that one is. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0879385790/ref=sr_1_olp_1/104-9471156-9846337?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187752325&sr=8-1 Must be a pretty good book if you are hunting it down. Maybe I will have to pick up a copy.
  13. Dom they do actually dip coat some cars. Its really expensive. I called the guy today and he said its $800 to dip the shell and $800 to prime it. He then tells me that seam sealer, tar, excessive rust or paint will cost more. I talked to some locals who have used him before and they said he is not a real good guy to work with. Looks like I will be using good old aircraft remover. My dad owns an industrial paint shop so I will just bring the shell down there, load up a pressure pot with paint remover and have some fun
  14. I have not seen that rate of failure form the people who are using them. SSautochrome often sells their junk as if it were master power but it is not. turbomustangs.com has some good threads on master power reliability
  15. There is a place in Windso Ca called NorCal metal stripping (http://www.norcalstripping.com/) Their web pages says minimum charge for a body shell is $250. Not too bad, I am going to call then and get an actual price for the Z. How fast do you need to get primer over the metal once it is bare? Pretty quick I would imagine.
  16. you can get a master power t70 for ~$500. It is a great option for a single turbo and probably what i am going to go with. Check out http://www.turbomustangs.com
  17. I am thinking about dipping my chassis. I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with chem dipping and how it was for them. I am a little scared I will only have 2lbs of metal left after the rust is gone:mrgreen: I am also worried about sealing the hard to reach places like in the rockers. I know eastwood sells a kit for this and I would probably purchase it. What do my fellow hybridzers think about dipping?
  18. Just think those guys are behind the wheel on the same roads we are. Now that is scary.
  19. He is thinking "Well... Pull it out already!"
  20. lol I love the cross drilled brake lines.
