The only reasons I can think as to why my rear wheels are not centered is two fold: 1) I am keeping my controls arms centered as much as possible on there mounts. My rod ends are extended equally on each side. 2) I set my clam as far forward as possible to line the wheel wells up with the...

There are always ways to take your young children along with you. Back when our daughter was four this is how we got around. She was the queen of every poker run we went on. Everyone fell in love with her. Not sure you can fit a sidehack on the Hyabusa though.

Side tracked on another project again. Sometimes I hate being handy, I get asked to help with so many things outside of my own. I am painting grill surround off of my nephews truck (Santa brought him a fancier front end) that my brother is building into a stereo cabinet to hang on his living...

A little something for the EV crowd: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/koenigseggs-tiny-electric-motor-makes-335-hp-and-443-lb-ft-of-torque/ar-AATkvIH?li=BBnb7Kz

Since I have not posted recently: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I hope Santa brought you everything your project needs. I am getting shop time again in my life, that makes for a much happier me. Recently I applied two layers of fiberglass matt and polyester resin to the...

On to tonight's progress. I decided that since the rear clam is now installed I wanted to install my rear window vents to see how that is going to look. I have the fiberglass vents (not the carbon versions) and plan to graft them into the rear clam so they appear to be a part of the original...

Some more rear clam pictures: rear wheels are too far rearward, tires are perfectly centered in front clam I plan to make mounting brackets to move the control arm pivots points 5/8" forward on the chassis to remedy this.

Wow, where has the time gone? Last time I worked on my SL-C to any significant degree was back in June this past summer. From that point the summer got very busy for us and I did not spend any time out in my shop. In August my wife after substitute teaching for the past 15 years accepted a...

Looks beautiful Joel. It is such a shame that all your craftmanship will be hidden from view by the body. At least you have it documented well here for all to enjoy!

Can do, files attached.

Damnit Joel, now I want to upgrade to Tillett seats!! I thought I had put that extra expenditure to bed long ago. No, seriously, nice work as always, keep it up!! Good, solid install. I may have just missed it in your video but did you add large fender washers or steel plates on the...

OK, took free time today (that has been in very limited supply lately) to at least drool over my SLC a little and take some measurements. I will hopefully be back to working on it in a much smaller schedule that before starting later next month. I will follow up to everyone on here with a...

Adrian, As soon as I have a free moment I will get out to my shop and get you the requested measurements. I have been very busy lately so it may take a few days to a week to get back with you (I have not touched my SL-C since June).

Looking good Joel.

if your body is painted black under the window and you are not using any foam weather-stripping I think you could get away with no frit. In my close up picture above you can see the blue masking tape showing thru that I was using to temporarily hold the window in place. Any foam weatherstrip...

One word: WOW!

Thank you Del, Fran, and everyone at RCR for making this purchase happen. Here is how they look on an unfinished car. I was curious as to how the tint compared to the front windshield. I think they compliment each other well (I pulled the protective film back on the upper corner in the one...

Mine are scheduled to be delivered today. Now I just need time to work on my car. Summer has been very busy with other things, my timeline is out the window. It needs a serious re-baselining.

Nice work Joel. Your results are making me feel much better about the similar adjustments that I need to make once I get back out into my shop.

Del, Thank you for the update. Wonder why they are phasing out tinted lexan? Are they having issues with it, forming it perhaps?
