So a couple of weeks ago I signed up for a local car show, I sent a message to the organizer, a couple of hours later he contacted me and said he looked online to see what an SLC looked like and asked me if I was serious and I had one. And whether he could advertise about it :cool: So I made...

Thanks, and thanks for your help. I will stop by this summer

Thanks Joel

WOW Joel pretty cool stuff you have done , impressive , keep up the good work , I am glad I am done with all that so I am not tempted by your amazing mods.

finally the II much fuel vent can was attached using a cool bracket that I found, then the vent hose after the can goes to the outside on the floor in a protected area , I will take more detailed picture of the plumbing later . AAND is ready to hit the road, I will post tomorrow about my first...

Installing the seats and set belts required a lot of extra work, in order to meet the Schroth seat belt installation requirements I needed to grind a gap between the adjusting mechanism and the seat, then had to take the entire seat to the vise to bend the seat belt mounting bracket, because...

the filling fuel hose was no easy task either , needed two 90 degree bends , I used a plastic that is fuel safe, I attempted to use what was supposed to be flexible fuel hose but it was way too stiff for this use , I only used a little piece to connect to the tank. I also did not know that you...

I used aluminum plates to make a closeout panel of the hole between the spider and the floor,

while installing the front portion of the rear wheel covers, I realized that it rubbed against the fuel pressure gauge, luckily moving the gauge forward was super easy, just a couple of holes and a new mount location. I also attached the liner to the frame , which adds additional support to the...

I thought I caught a break on the rear wheel liners, I did not need to do a close out panel to access the rear tail lights , there is enough room underneath to access the mounting screws, and they fit perfectly upside down. however fine tuning and cutting the middle section took a while. there...

While trying to install the front wheel covers I realized that the pigtails for the headlights were sticking quite far and preventing the wheel covers form going in further which resulted a rubbing problem when the springs are compressed and with turning. So as Joel called it, I had to perform...

I added the ducts on the front splitter using peanut butter since there were huge gaps between the duct flanges and the splitter surface. I also used peanut butter to close the honeycomb voids on the splitter and create a smooth transition surface between the duct and the splitter , sorry I did...

After trying 100 different adjustments I figured out the the parking brake that came with the kit DOES NOT WORK, it will not hold the car on the slightest slope. So that was $1295 for the kit, $600 for the E-stopp and all my time down the drain. Cam warned me and I did not listen, I thought I...

I believe the bell crank mod is a must to prevent the bolt form shearing off . I came up with my own design a bit different than everyone else, I could not live with my welds cosmetically speaking , so a little bondo and paint, and much happier with the end product

since I did the hoop bending modification to fit closer to the spider and decrease the thickness of the A Pilars , the A pilar covers had to be heavily modified, I also did not like the overlap with the roof, so I created a nice fit . very happy with the end result I absolutely hate the super...

since my color scheme is black and gold, I decided to powder coat the gated shifter, I tried etching and painting the aluminum but that did not hold up well at all, it was only $20 at a local shop, love it!!

A couple of fun posts, this was the fall , I got to visit my son Miguel at MIT , and I did sit on a lecture, so I can say that I went to school at MIT :cool: . the place is awesome, some of the highlights, a night picture of the dome, a hydrogen powered motorcycle and my son is a member of the...

While installing the a/c compressor a weird thing happened I used an aftermarket kit that provided better contact between the a/c pulley and the belt , but when I was attaching the belt I noticed that the tensioner rubbed against a bolt and the belt was riding on the edge of the tensioner...

Chasing an A/C leak So I decided to go ahead and connect the a/c compressor and charge the unit , but before charging I checked if the system was able to hold vacuum and it was not . Howard suggested adding positive pressure , since the system was not charged ye, and I did , voila, the leak was...

While doing the final fitting details, I had to add some wedges between the aluminum frame and the spider to create a nice gap between the front clam and the spider Of note is that the wedges were thicker at the front, it took a lot of grinding and sending to get them perfect, then epoxied to...
