Damn, getting cold, I really need to kick this in the ass to get it painted.. getting closer!! I've been taking a lot of vitamins lately, which might explain all the extra energy I've had!? Today I filled some trim holes on both fenders, cut rusty metal out of both fenders, and both sides of the dog legs and patched one fender with new sheet metal. The dog legs and other fender will be patched tomorrow. Still need to fabricate seat mounts, and patch the tear in the floor where the seat was mounted before. I've come to the realization that this shell is far from perfect, and I need to just take a step back and go with a 10 foot rule. If it looks good at 10 feet, I'm happy. lol. Goal is to get it painted, and drive it once.. lol, then maybe this winter I will build an aluminum dash, like the one Myron built.

OMG.. DO WANT.. DO WANT.. That is a truly awesome sound. I love how quickly that engine revs.

Fabrication, electrical skills, painting, engine building and ELECTROPLATING! These guys do it all! Anyone ever got into electroplating before? It looks simple enough..

It amazes me to see how much some people will risk to try to save a few seconds instead of slowing down. Take the guy for all he's worth.. which must be a lot considering how little time he has.

LS1S30Z, I think this guy is a member on here also. Very nice build. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3072535

I'd be interested in seeing a separate thread with these photos. It's been very hard for me to start on my cage because I'm always worried about getting the cage doubler pads to cover as much area as possible, and in the right places. PM me when you start the thread.

These guys are based in Wisconsin. They have some molds for the 240z, like hood, fenders, light buckets and the front fascia. No doubt they could make doors. I hope you have a lot of money. http://www.prototypecomposites.com/default.asp

Late term abortion.

Very powerful speech. Can't be afraid to put in a good days work.. How many people have listened to their Grandpa's stories about working back in the early days?

First time seeing that also, looks like they have a lot of stuff..

The only complaint so far I have about my iPhone is that you can't get insurance on it, so if you drop it while you're flying in a private airplane, you're screwed.

Yay, congrats.

If you want to remove all the rust/paint/undercoating/foul it is the only way to go. Just don't let them sit around and rust for two years like I did.

No.

Great info. I'd been planning on putting an electric water pump on to simplify the situation, and then I'd only have to run a belt to the alternator. I'll contact you "benitoz" when I figure something out. Great info Braap.

Well, not as much progress as I'd like.. The story is as it has always been, work, work and more work. So... slowly for sure. I guess these fit..

Correct, I just have it up there with a snap clamp. When the bolt holes line up it's correct. Well, the plan is to still build the "track car" with the totally bare chassis. The LQ9 6.0L/T56, 12 pt cage, 15x12's with slicks, and all the other misc stuff I have will go on that one. The newest one in the pics I had originally planned just to repaint. That turned into getting it blasted and repainting it, and now I'm thinking I might as well hold on to it now that I have this much work into it. Going to do it up kind of like an auto-x car. Nothing too crazy, but I think I'll put a lexan rear hatch window in it. Maybe some other simple chassis stiffening.

I didnt die... but I do need to kick this in the but before winter. 1 - 23.5x13-15 hoosier slick to test fitment. 3 more on the way.

In a drink or soda can.

In the dish of the wheel, or under the tire?

Wheelies.

Sounds like compressor surge to me, check your vacuum lines and stuff to be safe. Weird how it could clean itself up after a few miles?

No LSX motor.

From what I remember. Signal wire, and a ground. Hopefully your gauge will work with the resistance the sending unit puts out. I know my fuel cell had too short of a sending unit, so it would read funny measurements.

Where are you going to mount the sway bar?
