stony Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 I know the blowoff may not be in teh optimal position but for drag racing application should matter much since im using an auto and wont lift to the run is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Coming together mate. Quick question. I have been thinking about how I am going to do my radiator setup and was thinking about using AN fittings like you have done. One thing I was worried about is that every setup I have seen looks like if the engine mounts had much give it would stress the line. With your line it looks like you have given it a very slight arch, is that to allow a bit of give in the mounts?

stony Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Motor and trans are solid mounted from stock location, a mid plate, and tranny mount. so i have no movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Ah, thought that might have been the case. You will not have the same problem that I will face then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getoffmyinternet Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Is it just the dust or is that a custom dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Is it just the dust or is that a custom dash? Looks like a fiberglass dash. http://www.pdkfabrication.com/Dash.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks A little more progress. Nothing is fitting like it did in the black car so just about everything is needing little tweaks. pretty much have had to shorten every braided line.

getoffmyinternet Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Looks like a fiberglass dash. http://www.pdkfabrication.com/Dash.htm That's what I thought it was but I've been asking around and haven't seen those anywhere until now! "Made of fiberglass for the serious racer" LOL How do you like it Stony? I was thinking about making one down the line but was worried about how complicated it would be to get it to work with all the stock components, as this basically looks like a shell of the dash. Not cheap though. I suppose if you get rid of all the stock stuff though, it's moot. Would be pretty sexy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 its a shell will not work with any stock stuff. its kind of a biatch to get it in there. i ended up hacking it a bit. once i get it mounted will take it back out and glass over all the holes and make it fit better. maybe i should just get a stock dash. wanna trade?

You make it sound so enticing! I would consider it but at the moment I can't afford to have my car out of service, perhaps in the future. My original plan was to get a second dash and make a mold off of it for a composite one, but like I may have said I was planning on doing it in such a way that it mounts like stock. It seemed a little foreboding so I put it on hold, apparently these guys thought the same thing and just axed that part of the plan altogether.

stony Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well got my hands on a stock dash. gutted, trimmed to fit and installed gauges. now just need a dash cap and it should look pretty good. Any one recommend a decent dash cap? Are the easy to install? Anyways here are some pics. car is going to the body shop to get the 1/4s roughed in and wheel wells stretched 2 inches. hope to have pics in a month or so.
