Congrats Kurt!

One item on the to do list is to see if the AIM PDM can actually control the Vintage Air Blower Motor. I wanted to ditch all the wiring and the fan speed control knob and just use one of the CAN Keypad buttons. The fan speed can be set to Auto, Off, Low, Medium, and High and the status is...

In the model train hobby, kitbashing is the practice of making a new scale model by taking pieces out of multiple kits. In this post I am kitbashing the Vintage Air heater control valve and will use it to control the defroster. Pic of the supplied HCV… I wanted to control the defroster vent...

Hector, very happy to see you complete the build. It’s always a lot of fun exchanging spy pics and kidding around about our progress or sometimes lack of!. Way to go!

Looks fantastic Mark. Congrats! Wondering how painting around the windshield went. Most builders have painted the body then installed the windshield. I’m thinking to get the car on the road in Gelcoat to pass inspection and registration then do the same thing like you and have it painted...

For the sake of completeness this post covers the routing and install the last of the main power cables. Laying all this out took a lot more time than expected. It’s always difficult to make things look neat, but very happy with the way this came out. Used 2 gauge wire to supply power to the...

Mark, Your car turned out fantastic. WGG was a great color choice.

Randy, I second Chris’s opinion. Although I’m doing an SLC and not a GT40. I have seat sliders and an adjustable pedal, but that is really to align your legs and arms to the steering column and pedals. Then put the shifter where it Is comfortable after that. At first I set the shifter where...

Venius, Here are some reference photos I saved…

I’ve seen quite a few SLC build pics that run the exhaust through the diffuser

Here is a pic, I think three were like this and 1 was the opposite… but to my earlier point, they still may mount the seat too far from center…

Kurt, I forgot the whole purpose of the seat brackets was to get them more in-board. Those steel brackets you made came out great. Alex, if you want to get the seat more in board than the stock RCR brackets take a look at Kurt’s build page. If you still want to use the RCR brackets but need...

Alex, As long as you have two outer brackets that point in the right direction you should be good. The inner brackets you can’t see,

This was Koso’s state of the art back in 2019. Fran ordered this for me. I wound up selling it to another builder since I went with the AIM Dash and PDM. Thought it looked great…

Most builders angle the seat slightly toward the center. The steering wheel may need to be angled as well. if you want it lined up with your body which I recommend.
