Good thing I'm not in public or I wouldn't be able to stand up for a while. Those are dead sexy.

How is the rest of the car coming along? Any idea when you'll get it onto a track?

There will not be any spacer. Custom front knuckles are going to be built for up front. the rears should be fine. I think anyway. I'll find out this weekend or early next week.

The wheels are Wedsports TC105N 18x10.5 +12

I never have nor will put a deadline on when the car will be done. It is moving along at it's normal pace. slow. Right now I'm missing a knuckle because it is at frontline fabrication being measured so the billet units can be modeled and made. i'm going to keep plugging away at the rear of the car while that is being done.

That's a lot of rubber Kevin and it looks great! What's the build plans for whats going under the hood to get those things turning, same 3065 setup?

I briefly remember Andrew blowing up P/S racks running that much tire, do you have something in the works so the same doesn't happen to you?

Turbo will be something like a FP HTA GT3582R or an Borg 8374EFR turbo . 2.3 or 2.4 with fairly high compression. That the plan right now anyway.

On the rack I have most of that figured out thanks to Andrew.

What tires on that rim?

[greengoblin]

Going to need a thin spacer in the rear. It just barley rubs. I can spin the tires easily by hand but it needs a bit more clearance. Oh well. I'll order those up next.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Ahhhh you got that crazy aero body kit that functions like awesome. Nice looks good!

Looks good man! Keep up the good work. What tracks are you looking at running on because I don't think thers is any road courses here in Idaho

 

[greengoblin]

With some trimming the rear suspension now can travel to full compression. This is on 315 with the rear track increased 2 inches on EACH side.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Id love me some of those.

Damn those are some nice tires.

 

[greengoblin]

So the easiest way to do this is to first scribe your initial cut line. The fastest and easiest way is to just place your hand on the edge of the tire on center at your desired distance. Then slowly roll the tire both direction slowly. This will give you a perfect copy of the tires arc right on the fender. Then I just used my angle grinder with a thin cut off wheel and cut along the line. For touch up and final shaping I used a flapper disc. Now it is time to order some metal and pull out the welder.

 

[Purple_Demon]

Love it. Keep up the good work.

This build is in a whole different league of difficult.

 

[Alex7747]

I hope this car makes it into a top level magazine for all the work that is going into this. Keep on with the awesome build.

Finally took all my old crappy bolts to be re zinc plated. Bam! Like new. These will be used in non critical areas and as spares. very happy with how they tured out. 65 bucks well spent.
