You don't have to tell her.

Just ask her, she knows.

 

BigAl.... any photo updates. Can't wait to see this thing run at the track.

 

stuff has been happening at quite a fever pitch lately.

here's what it looked like after cleaning and prep




















Paint is next!!!

BigAl...

 

Gorgeous!

 

Awesome build!

 

A little paint can be amazing

This is just the primer

 

Here is the finished product.














white is so purdy

big things are happening with this project, stay tuned for more soon.

BigAl...

 

Here you can see a couple of things, first you can see where I modified the light covers, they now serve as the inlets for the cooling ducts that cool the front brakes. You can also see the lights are mounted (these things are cool) and of course you can see the grills I made, I'm very happy with the finished product, these damn grills took forever to make, tigging each wire was ridiculous. Even the rotor you see there wasn't easy.






only two grills installed in these pics




it was tough to get the radius' just right, I did my best, they fit pretty nicely.

BigAl...

 

Love the grilles. Love everything. What material did you use?

 

Very very nice.. LOT of work in that bad boy..
Its the details like the grill that suck and take such a large volume of time... Everyone thinks.. drop in an engine and you are good! Its the little stuff to prep the car, and finish thnigs that takes tons of time.

Gorgeous car.

 

The grills are teriffic. I love the effect. Mind sharing how you mounted them?

 

Wow, this is gonna be awesome... Already is!

I would love more info on the lights and grill.

I used 3/16 stainless round stock for the frames and stainless mesh

I don't have a pic but I simply welded four tabs to the frame and then just drilled four holes in the opening of the bumper

here they are:

thanks for the kind words guys!

BigAl...

 

Looks like you are getting really close. Any guess on when she'll be ready to rock and roll?

 

Ahh, the million dollar question, I hope sooner than later but either way I'm having a great time building it. I've given up guesstimating!

BigAl...

 

I've read every page, this thing is amazing, I can't wait to see it finished.

 

I worked on some brake cooling, I'd like to thank Damian for posting pics of his brake cooling setup https://www.rx7club.com/race-car-tech-103/brake-setup-my-race-car-723283/ I did mine a little different but basically the same.


the first step





before adding the tube





viola





here you can see the caliper bracket also





more to come...

 

>>I'd like to thank Damian for posting pics of his brake cooling setup

Ur welcome :-)

That is looking very nice!!!

 

I finished the headlight lenses, I'm very happy with the results (big thanks to my buddy Nory for his help).







I also finished the windshield braces








BigAl...

 

Headlights look mean.

 

This thread makes me horny... :/

 

I also really like how you did the grills on the nose openings. I am taking notes :-)

 

easy trigger!

 

Love it, lots of hard work and dedication. Keep it up!

 

Very well done BigAl
