I know its been a few weeks since I've put up an update, but we've been slowly working away. The car went to SpringFest on a trailer and thanks...
Picked up the custom front brakes from CNC this morning. 13" rotors, 6 piston calipers with 1.5" pistons. The spindle was modified and the ABS...
Thanks guys its really starting to come together now. Hope to start it in about 4 weeks.
Picked up some parts today. The engine aluminum is all polished. Custom CNC brakes are almost finished. Should be able to pick them up next...
Awesome news Fredrick! If all goes according to plan, I'll have a new toy there that you can take for a spin. :)
Status...well, plugging along. Fuel tank is finished and mounted, ABS pump is mounted, fuel lines are almost done, transmission plumbing is done,...
After a few set-backs, we got the motor mounts fabricated yesterday and the engine and transmission are finally both in place. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Got the March pulley set-up mocked up too. Looks like it will meet all of our needs for this project, but it does move all of the accessories...
Finally got some more parts so we could back to work on the 33. The rear-sump oil pan fits great, allows the power steering motor to mount in...
No, its the OEM hoist fixture. The main bolts are in the valley, the front one just helps control the tilt.
I wish. It's Ralph's (MOL). His family has been in racing for many years, so they had the hoist added when the house was built. It has pulled...
Got a little more work done on the car today. Went over to CNC brakes and talked with the owner about making our big brake kit and a dual master...
The steering is normally manual, the electric motor is a power assist. This car needs a tiny steering rack so its too short to run a traditional...
Busy first day. We started the build today. We're mocking everything up, then we're going to tear it all down for finishing (paint, powder coat,...
Got the motor, transmission, and starter mounted up today. Chassis, body, and lots of boxes show up tomorrow...then the real work begins. [IMG]
The reason you don't find many (any?) aftermarket shorty headers for the SRT8s is because they come with shorties from the factory, and those OEM...
Thanks Crock! Should be delivered tomorrow or Saturday. :)
You also should think about the capacity of your 727 and rear. For the 33 I'm doing, I built the 518 trans and rear to take 600 ft-lbs of torque....
Hmmmm...maybe we'll build a rumble seat into the fiberglass body. I'm sure you'd feel safe riding on the outside of the frame at 100+ mph. :)
With custom wheels, you don't need to. :) Actually, the suspension pick-up points are based on the OEM bushings and OEM shock bracket, so...
