If you ever have an AN fitting that just will not seem to seal up. There are aluminum conical washers "seals" that are specifically made for AN fittings to aid it sealing. We use them often on hydraulic systems in aviation...

One thing to note, the front brake cooling was re-arranged to pull heat from the radiator to help cool and preheat the brakes to keep them from cracking. That was one of the solutions they came up with since they would basically shock cool almost, and be thermo cycled so much from hard brake to...

Swapped out center tunnels today. Slow and steady progress.

Sorry for the late reply, 3.500 final drive. Finally got all my brackets made up or modified for the dry sump pump mounting. Not an easy feat if you have read Petes build on putting a 4.6 dohc in thw frame. Every dry sump manufacturer besides Aviaid told me what I wanted to do was not...

Aluminum Putty 10610. Like you said welding plugs is best idea as long as you have access a MIG or TIG that has A/C capability. .

SGT/AK based chassis. Very clean welds.

Very, very slow progress at the moment. Still waiting on Quaife transmission so I can properly locate engine mounts. So pretty much no frame progress has not happened. I am at the moment making a larger tunnel. Needs to be taller since I am going to make original style hammock/web support...

Everything on mine so far has been to cut, refit, and weld back up. So nothing on mine is true to spec but fit to appear as I can. Especially up front, the radiator, condenser and intercooler take up room....but that is why I went with a space replica setup. Because I want it truly mine.

Thank you for that input Randy. I believe I will go with the front pivoting. I am going to make them per the drawings from the GT40 Uncovered book.

Some color bleeding came through that wasn't visible till i put on the white... ugh..

Charlie, You would have to ask Protolabs, they printed it, it is a resin print. The silver is a metalic flake that is in a testers model paint kit.

Yes.

Started painting the backside and rough machined out the bezel today.
