Keep up the good work Hector. You are way to modest about your fiberglass skills, everything is turning out fabulous!

While we are adding our own 2 cents, I own a two post lift (a Max Jack same as Dan) but to date have not had my SL-C on it. I have not had the need to use it. So far I have utilized jack stands and a low profile jack as Howard suggested. Currently I want the car sitting on the tires at ride...

Del, Please add me to the list for Mid Tint.

Del, Yes, the steering wheel center cap is a design I drew up and 3D printed. I then hand painted the red inset and clear coated it. I also made some "flat" versions without the tabs on the back that hold it into the steering wheel center that I will use for 1) a hood ornament and 2) misc...

Ok, I switched the LEDs on my pushbuttons to red, much better in my opinion. Thank you everyone for your input. Green light on the BRAKE button means the EPB is engaged, it shows red when it is released. In the photo the LEDs show a little lighter red than what they actually are. They are...

Had a good couple of days off working in my shop. Hate to go back to work tomorrow. I am caught back up on my timeline to have the car on the road by late this summer followed by taking it apart this fall to paint and finish the interior after testing all the systems, coming up with new...

Mesa, Thank you for the compliments and your suspension experiences. Not sure I see how lowering the upper shock mount reduced your spring travel before coil bind. I am sure I am overthinking it. When I remounted mine it raised my ride height. I then had to adjust the spring perch position...

Howard, All good questions. Yes, once the car is fully assembled the only way to replace the relays, parking brake controller, and windshield wiper motor will be to remove the dash (the blower motor is inside the cockpit, I am using the stock vintage air unit). That will be possible but not...

Joel, Torque to yield fasteners are a different specification than the M12 12.9 and M14 12.9 fasteners that you have with your calipers. Follow the standard torque specifications for this grade of fastener that can be found on Fastenal's website or Holochrome, etc. Below is a generic chart...

While waiting on the wife to finish up the paint trim work in the bathroom so I can replace the flooring I have been sneaking out to my shop to work on the SL-C again. I have been fitting the dash and did not like the way the anchor lined up with the defrost ducts (it did not line up no matter...

Canton Racing Products (part number 80-203, $258 from Summit Racing) makes a combined expansion and overflow tank that fits well next to the LS engine as shown below.

Received dose number 2 of my Pfizer vaccine today. I had no major side effects from my first dose other than an extremely stiff neck that started a day later and lasted about a week. That started again today within minutes of dose #2. Hopefully no other side effects, time will tell. Our...

Hector, How is the build going? Have not heard from you in a while.

Well the bathroom remodel is taking longer than expected. In my defense, more content to the plan has been added by the DW. That, I should have anticipated. I should be done in another two to three weeks. It is turning out very nice. I also lost a weekend to another unexpected project. A...

Received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today. Our local county health department is EXTREMELY organized. Easy and smooth affair, I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and 15 of that was spent sitting waiting to see if I had a reaction. No "direct" cost to us. My wife being a teacher...

Joel, For my G96-01 transaxle slave cylinder I used an Earls part number 592053 12mm to 3AN adapter fitting. Couldn't find any photos but this piece threads directly into the G96-01 slave cylinder and then the supplied hose connects to it. Easy Peasy for my build at least.

Joel, Sorry, cannot help you on that one. I am using a Porsche G96-01 transaxle. I can say that it required an adapter to use the -3 AN clutch hose supplied with my kit. I do not have access to my BOM right now it I’d put the part number in this reply. It may or may not be the same as what you...

Love the commentary "I don't even know what the f%$k this is" Looking good Mesa!

Excellent workmanship as always Joel.

Joel, I used Dynatron seam sealer. It is made by 3M, resistant to fuel, and what I have always used with good results on car restorations and body panel replacement. It comes in a “caulking” style tube so it is easy to apply.
