    Storing Paperwork & Tools

    This works well for paperwork: FFWD to 1:25: https://www.amazon.com/MCARCAR-KIT-Universal-Organizer-Flexible/dp/B073VQNR1J/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=mcarcar+kit+trunk+organizer+rear+back+seat&qid=1561058251&s=gateway&sr=8-3 I put a couple strips of PPF on the tub then attached some adhesive backed...

    Mating an LS to a Graziano, where have I seen this before?

    A fun episode just because most of us have or are going through this very process. It’s a lot easier to shove this combo into an SLC or GTR than it is a Lamborghini!

    FS: 2014 RCR Superlite Coupe Pearl White $82k ***SOLD***

    Car was sold, however I believe the new owner's interests have shifted and he's interested in selling. His name is Young Le and he can be found either through Facebook or @itsmey0ung on Instagram.

    Fire Extinguisher Mounting

    This gentleman lost his GTR due to putting a hole through his block; I believe something impacted a fuel line and either fuel, oil, or both fed the ensuing fire. This car had an onboard fire suppression system - I don't think anything would have saved this car other than the fire trucks that...

    Fire Extinguisher Mounting

    Unless you've got closeouts your engine bay is fully exposed along the lower back half of the car and with the race tail you've got even more airflow coming at the engine. If there's a raging fire then a hand held won't do jack, I think we can all agree to that. If you've got a small fire...

    Fire Extinguisher Mounting

    You can see my extinguisher mount in a few of the photos here: https://socalslc.com/2018/09/16/49-working-from-the-inside-out/ A couple of bolts through the floor pan, no biggie. I have a H3R 2.5lb bottle, fits fine and doesn't get in the way...

    CamT's build thread

    Hey Kelly, Check out post 16 from my blog for those details. Sorry, easier to refer you to the link than type it out ;) https://socalslc.com/2017/11/15/16-time-to-give-the-beast-some-legs-and-other-stuff/ I’m not sure what the part number is on my alternator. I’ll see if I can find the...

    Dan's Build

    It would be great if you could throw up a photo side by side of the two fans, noting any dimensional differences and any massaging you had to do with your fabricated shroud to make it all work. Good luck!

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    The California DMV provided me with (2) 1-day permits so I could drive my SLC for inspection. I got hard eyeballed by a couple of officers but didn't get pulled over while driving. At the time my car didn't have any plates and was primer gray. You're supposed to sign and date the permits on...

    Scandinavian SL-C build

    Good idea! Maybe a few dowels to connect the two templates to keep them aligned. I tried to do something similar with some insulation foam I purchased from the home improvement store - a bad idea! During cutting/melting the fumes were really bad (even with a good respirator). Then when I...

    Scandinavian SL-C build

    Very very cool, thanks for showing your technique! Be sure to keep in mind where your lap belts will anchor and that you will need to be able to accommodate them - both their location and any turning if they're to be mounted to an eye bolt. You can see the large cut-out I made for the...

    Scandinavian SL-C build

    Hah, we must have had the same pair of guys working on our spiders! My right side was a lot worse than the left. I cut everything out from below, preserving my gel coat and repaired the underside. I ended up having to fill in a good gap between my spider and ceiling panel but I think you were...

    Bellcrank reinforcement plate ideas.

    Looks good! I think I was being overly cautious by going with the plate design that I made. I wasn’t sure how much bellcrank articulation I would need so I designed it to allow the crank to rotate past the reinforced area.

    Anyone got $420k laying around?

    (Mouth breathing ENGAGE) I guesstimate the average “street” spec car Allan builds is in the neighborhood of 100-120k. Throw in the big motor, upgraded interior, electronics, tuning, suspension, brakes, and fuzzy dice. I’m still hard pressed to see where that extra 300k went. That’s not to...

    CamT's build thread

    Went to the local cars and coffee this past weekend and it was a total bust - rain in the forecast so no one showed up. I pulled over to text my father-in-law not to come by then this happened ... :cool:

    Has anyone done the first start and go kart in the same night?

    Congrats AJ, a huge milestone! It’s hard to stay off the throttle, isn’t it? ;)
