Unreal. That's a 2 day job for me . :)

or a hail storm, had a couple of bad ones recently , hammered two of my cars , old ones thankfully .

unfortunately there were too many places where I modified the body and there was bondo and primer, no sense trying to match weathered gelcoat , and I like what Cam has done, he already changed the color 3 times , and it looks very nice , not ghetto at all , and super cheap. but once all the...

yeah, that's the direction I am going , and used a standard BMW color with very little flakes and I am planing to use the clear bra thing in a few places . The paint job is taking forever , I think the guy is inexperienced and got over his head , but at the end, is cheap and much better than...

Just when you thought I will have no updates for a while. As I was leaving cars and coffee I saw a guy with a paint shop T shirt , I asked him if he was a painter, he told me he just started his own paint shop here in town, that since he is building ip his business he will work with me super...

is this a duplicate thread???

Great idea, and Fred will be happier :-)

so funny, how Howard is right about all these nuances of garage projects. A big remodel is in my near future. Entire house, not only kitchen LOL. Got to keep the wife happy !!! Howard, wife will start remodeling the New Braunfels house , will be heading your way in the next year or two .

agree with the above. now if you want to take it to the next level, the lotus seven based Donkervoort F22 checks all the boxes. 1654 lbs , 492 hp turbo Audi engine. insane power to weight ratio, 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Truly amazing car performance wise because it is so light...

Oh man, I totally forgot about those , plus the ones that did not work like you thought and you have to re do . Great point.

To be honest, I rather not add up all the receipts , it will be depressing. so many unknowns and unforeseen expenses on this project depending on how detailed you want to get, heck, the paint job alone can cost you several grand. I agree that a $50k cushion is safe bet, for real ,(additionally...

I tried that without success, I also had the e stopp setup. I also tried repositioning the calipers for maximum grab on the rotor, the setup will work on a tiny slope but not on a significant slope. the Tesla calipers are night and day 100% better. I think my experience is quite common ...

Ben: My son and I went to the factory V build school at Motts college in Michigan and build a factory V cobra over a weekend class, he was 11 then, I told him that if he enjoyed the experience we would buy a kit, (not a Cobra which I don't like that much) . After much research we settled on the...

A little update and some helpful tips for future builders: It has been in the mid 100s in West Texas and have been driving quite a bit lately, I don't have oil coolers and my water temps are peaking at 206 with the A/C full blast and sitting in traffic, very happy about that . My advice is...

Kurt I was going through your posts and read about backing up. do you have a backup camera mounted close to the license plate? I have the main rear view camera on top of the roof and the side mirrors, both don't help at all judging distances and backing up, but my backup camera (right above...

Never had manual brakes before. I am slowly getting used to them . It certainly takes a lot more force , but feels to me you have a lot more control, but I have only been driving for a week. the manual steering can be tough on parking lots you just have to muscle through it , I don't see it as a...

Keith: Hang in there and never loose faith. I have had stage 4 cancer twice and I am fully recovered . There are crazy innovative therapies such as immunotherapy that are game changers. Wish you the best. And good luck with the sale of your beautiful car. Hector

So a couple of funny stories, I am slowly backing up of the garage and my wife is screaming the the car is smoking and smells really bad. It turned out the clutch was not releasing and the clutch pedal went to the floor. I decided to take a look and noticed a small leak on the hose fitting, took...

Agree wholeheartedly about the people, truly amazing bunch. you were the very first SLC owner I visited, it helped seeing what a finished SLC looked like. especially one well sorted out and track ready. I certainly got a bunch of great ideas from you that I implemented. You are always welcome...

Yes sensei , thanks for all your help !!! Hope to see you soon .
