track only car i thought long and hard about shaving it. wait until you see the intake manifold i have planned...just waiting to hear back about getting the flange laser and cnc machined

 

where do you get all this metal at?

 

2 sources, industrial metal supply and davis salvage. i use alot of remnants so its super cheap...the big aluminum tubing and DOM tubing i buy new.

 

Fantastic fab work!

Can't wait to see it done.

 

 

 

that is a triple plate clutch that you are assembling yourself right?

edit: I've never seen a triple-plate before but did you buy everything separate or did it come that way?

 

it comes that way sexy eh? i pondered selling this clutch for a long time but im glad i held on to it

 

What are your plans for the oil pan?

 

not sure yet, maybe stock maybe aftermarket hell maybe dry sump...havent gotten that far yet, if i do drysump i can reinforce the mounts more

here is a pic of the hood, took a little work to get the hole cut..just have to find a way to reinforce it

 

girly was so nice to help me clean my front subframe

 

Sand blast it! I just bought a blaster and don't know how I cleaned stuff like this without it...

 

heh ive had a sand blaster for a while now i sand blast everything..even my mexican friends

 

Nice work, i always look forward to see updates to your thread!

 

well hang on ill post some more pics for ya

 

military connector for my engine harness, these are TRUE military connectors..not those queer cheap bastard china knock offs...amphenol brand

cleaned up parts, ready to mod the steering knuckle clean up some more then powdercoat all this stuff black, put new bearings grease up and put it all back together! all i need todo is source some heim joints m14 dia, 12x1.25..and im not buying some damn ksports....$120 for 2 joints is stupid

 

oh and go ahead and punch yourself for looking at that other pic

 

I've soldered those amphenol connectors before... what a PITA! With that being said, I'm going to do more or less the same on a future build

 

let me know if you need the part numbers for the connectors, or ill help you piece together a custom plug

 

so i was scratching my head trying to figure out how to get the damn wheel bearing races out of the hubs....after some hard thinking i got them out by doing this...


using the tig welder with a balled tungsten, welded a bead (without filler rod) 360 degrees around the bearing race...afterwards i slammed it on the table upside down and the bearing races fell out ( a few i had to barely tap out with a punch, but it moved about half way so i could EASILY get a punch in there...)

pic of what i did and pic of the after math! works like a charm and i suggest it to everyone with the tools to do so....1/16 tungsten @ 130amps moving pretty fast just to spread the heat around, wear mig gloves on both hands...have the hammer and punch ready

 

keep it up man!
