    Restarting my SLC project in West Texas

    Oh fuck that's easy, PAINT the CAR! Then add clear chip protection to the nose and the area that is the place where the front tire throws road crap onto the body in the front of the lower center section in the rear of the lower wheel well. Done and dusted! Be sure to use a color that is used on...

    Front Nose Modification

    Mine are completely homemade, not the RCR options. I'll find some pictures and post them. Yes, the inlet "female" cones cover the nose outlets "male" when the nose is on the car.

    Lahaina

    If I had to guess I would wait until 2026 to vacation back at my condo in Kaanapali just north of Lahaina. My guess is the burn debris will be cleaned up by the end of the year, both residential and commercial, and the commercial district rebuild will be well underway by 2026.

    Hector, I am looking forward to having you guys as neighbors. Fred, and the "old" refrigerator can get moved out to the garage to become the "shop" beer refrigerator.

    Transfering a kitcar to Hawaii

    Pretty clear to me. This is exactly what a SLC is. "Street rod replica vehicle" means a vehicle that was assembled from a manufactured kit, either as: (1) A complete kit to construct a new vehicle consisting of a prefabricated body and chassis;

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    Alex. I only know what I know. I will only use Aeroquip or Earls hose and hose ends for fuel or oil. For other AN adapters "some" and I emphasize, that some other makes have proved to be suitable. Things like a straight AN to NPT adapter seem to work fine. However, it is tube-type hose ends...

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    The choices are hoses with reusable traditional AN fittings and hard lines using aluminum tubing or stainless tubing. All have issues and or failure risks. Let's start with AN/hose systems. The one thing that in my case that favors their use is the pressures in my system are very low because I...

    SLC technical questions

    I would be happy to provide you with a complete list of parts necessary to build a car with a target horsepower and weight target. Other requirements will necessitate additional costs. This will require you to provide a proposed contract for me to review and counter. Should you do so I will...

    SLC Superlite: All In Cost Spreadsheet

    The rule of hotrods is if you get one the wife gets a new kitchen. If you do her kitchen first she will never complain about the car. Oh, and bathrooms are cheaper. Just be sure to bling it up with a makeup station and special lighting that makes her pretty when she puts it on. Includ a nice...

    Radiator Cooling Fans

    Isn't data wonderful? I had guessed that the stuff directly behind the radiator would be very near the coolant temp. Now we know.

    Intake manifold leak at the corresponding intake port. Super lean and not going bang in that cylinder.

    SLC technical questions

    6) You can't build a 1350-pound SLC............drop the mike. 1350 pounds is an early small motor Radical. A radical is a MUCH smaller car. Look at it this way. My SLC is about 2450 ish. To take 1000 pounds out of the car you would have to REDUCE EVERY PART ON THE CAR by more than 40%. Not...

    AN6 fuel Pipe Fittings PTFE Tape or Not?

    I use this stuff. It works very good on pipe threads and gasoline. I've had a 1 pt can of this for years and I'm still using it. Get the 4 oz size and it will last a long time. Tape was not allowed where I worked. Little pieces get into the small orifices and plug them up like master cylinders...
