You my friend have a warped sense of fun! Hauled it to my place on a flat bed trailer and the plan was to lift it off the trailer with my two post lift, pull the trailer out, then sit it down. Easy, right...............wrong! The trailer I borrowed was 2" two wide to fit between my two post...

That is a similar product to the PPG DX Roadguard that I have used. Nice find. Good luck on the go-kart session. I am envious of your progress, I am dying to get back in my shop to work on mine. Have not touched it in a month.

Two words: New toy!! Head is rotated 90 degrees so to allow me to back in into my shop on a trailer. Can't wait to get this setup and operational. The key now will be to refrain from remaking all the brackets I made manually that I can now make absolutely perfect.

Aaron, Nice work and great idea to protect these areas. I may do the same. On my GTO restoration I used a PPG product called DX Roadguard on the undercarriage and the wheel wells. It is holding up well and I may use it on my SLC now that I see what you are doing. Are you spraying color over the...

Jeff, Here is a link to my build. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/kurt-h-hoffkm-sl-c-build-thread.53671/ Let me know if you have any questions. Always ready to help a fellow builder as many have helped me.

Jeff, When it comes to what mods to do and not do a lot is dependent on your plan for your build. The options you chose from the factory and modifications you plan out will be very different based on if you are doing a street or a track car. Personal preference also plays in. This is my...

Joel, Thank you. I am super relieved that the windshield is in. Can't believe that had me so worked up. As far as the door opening, I plan to bolt my side windows in with extra fasteners and if the doors appear to be too flimsy I will reinforce them on the inside with carbon fiber.

I've been anxious about the windshield installation so I tackled it this evening. I ordered some 5/16 3M Window Weld Ribbon Sealer to do the job. I used this on the GTO windshield when I replaced it and it worked very well so I stuck with what I know. The main benefit is there is no mess in...

I'll send you a PM with the files.

Placed and paid for my order today. Thank you Del for setting this up.

p.s. Your SLC is amongst good company I see. Are the Porsche and Camaro your dailys? So much easier to have nice cars when you do not have to deal with snow!

I have not seen a drop gear setup for the G96 but Albins makes a replacement ring gear in a 3.00 ratio that looks very appealing. Below is a chart I put together of the stock ratio and the 3.00 setup. Theoretical top speed goes from 190 at 7,000 RPM to 220! On my test drive I also found...

Congratulations Kyle. It is such a rush driving her for the first time. I was giddy for weeks after my first drive. I have two Holley Sniper systems and I was able to tune both of them myself. I am nearing the conclusion that my Holley Terminator on the SLC will require professional tuning. My...

Well I finished my tasks around the house (opening the pool and getting our RV ready to go camping next weekend) and went back to the SLC. I figured out my windshield problem. I recently mounted the interior roof panel and the weight of it was pulling down the front edge of the spider where...

Working on the SL-C in short bursts between other projects today and cut away the filler strips I added on the a-pillars. Windshield now sits as it should on the a-pillars but I have a new problem. I have about a 3/16" gap at the top of the windshield, WTH! Any suggestions are appreciated...

Del, one piece, side windows only

Joel, I have read many comments from previous builders on how to best fit the windshield. The primary theme focused on how wide you trim the flange on the spider so I carefully followed all recommendations. Trial fitment was successful with no gaps. After that I glued in a trim strip to hide...

Every time I hear or read "Maserati" I get Ted Nugent-Wango Tango stuck in my head. That sounds like an awesome build William, welcome and look forward to following along and will offer any assistance I can.

I was so proud of how my hose routings looked, then you had to go and one up me Joel! Now I’m depressed. Oh well, no one will ever see them. All kidding aside, nice work. Those brackets were an excellent idea and turned out very nice. Your catching up. I’ve hit a snag with my windshield...
