Sorry I should have also read it a little closer. For some reason the space above my already positioned turn signals was smaller than I hoped and found this set of glass lensed fog lights that look like they will work perfectly for me off Amazon...

Search for Lucas L488 lamps. I got my pair off of Ebay.

Well they may be true, but unfortunately that’s not what I had the opportunity to start with…just some pieces of splash molds taken off of an unknown car. For me it was better than nothing but requiring more work and an opportunity to “make” my own spider to match my clams, windshield & doors...

I knew from my windy west Texas experience that the doors need to be as robust as possible when the 35+mph winds catch them unexpectedly to avoid future damage. I may be “over engineering” many things for a mostly street “race car” but IMO I hate to go back and redo things that should have been...

Started working the door hinges using rod ends, bronze bushings, removable hinge pin, and steel reinforcement plates. Next will be tacking the adjustable mount plate. Also have started the refinement of the windshield mounting channel. I decided to source and use a 1/4” thick rubber as the...

More fiberglass work…be gentle, this is some of my first attempts at free form molding and layup. I know there are a few voids due to air pockets in the shaped expanding foam. It was ok to shape and found the grinder made quick work and a smooth surface and followed up with 80 grit sandpaper...

Work continues on the scratch spider. Inner skin bonded, insulated (albeit some voids), A-pillar weather seal flange installed. Some lessons for those challenged with part or all of these steps. 1) bonding mix of the epoxy resin with the silica powder with various ratios seems to be working...

Bob, thanks for getting the dimensions. Unfortunately the backspacing and pin pattern won’t work for my build.

I don’t recognize the numbering as anything relating to the PCD (pin center diameter) or the backspacing (as measured from the back of the pin face to the back edge of the rim). There are good videos on YouTube if you need help finding these. Other potential buyers will need to know these to...

I know some of your pain on the spider construction Agostino. Excellent work!

I may be interested, Any info about pin spacing and backspacing for each wheel? Location?

Max are these 17” and have you taken any pics since mounting?

Heck of a deal…wish I were closer

Lots of work done to make it fit and look the part. Lots more work to perfect it. It has really stiffened up with the bonding and am happy that it will be more structurally sound than an all fiberglass spider. Even though I don’t plan on anyone using the roof/A-pillar to support someone...

Harrison, Just my 2 cents having 8yrs of experience in installing 4 post lifts (and other Shop equipment) and working around the 2 post Rotary lift guys as well. I like your ingenuity but haven’t seen that technique of leveling & anchoring before. The primary way to level the posts is usually...
