Body shop jail of a different kind. Final fitment and gapping of the interior close out panels for the 66 fastback to accommodate the mini tubs. I used photos of a $400,000 GT350R that sold on Bring a Trailer. Factory gaps were terrible! It was good practice using the West System epoxy and...

Do you have a picture of what your air cleaner area is going to look like when the car is done and you are looking through the rear clam glass? I keep going back and forth between a MPFI 8-stack and a MPFI/carb set up. Your air cleaner may be the answer to the "WOW" factor needed.

Which transaxle are you using?

This is what Chris shipped with the car. Functional, but not quite up to the standards for what my build will be. Thanks for the input!

Are there any alternatives out there for Hartwell (reproduction) latches? I;m having a hard time convincing myself that a set of four is worth $1000. My Active Performance project came with s set of McMaster Carr latches, but they look a little cheap.

Is hard-mounting these coolers directly to the chassis a good idea?

Everything you need to know right here. I learned how to TIG with an Eastwood unit in order to build the front spoiler on my 69 Firebird. Sold that a few years ago and decided to buy a Prime Tig unit from Jodie's site at xmas time. I'll use it to do my bundle of snakes...

What are you using to bond your panels back together?

Perfect! I'm hoping that some that are able to attend the GT40 Reunion will take lots of pictures as well to be used as reference for those of us that can't attend and have projects that need lots of help!

I wish, but probably not in the cards for me. Hopefully there are a few owners that document the whole thing with lots of reference photos.

If my car was done, I would load it up and head that way....but that wont be for a couple of years!

Anyone from Iowa on here? I'm located on Iowa's east coast (Quad Cities) and have been chipping away at a Active Performance project for a year now.

I have a FI Prestige 363 in my 66 fastback. It was dynoed at the shop prior to shipment. After I got it installed, we ran into a few problems initially that traced back to the throttle body. Recently, I started having problems with what we thought was the O2 sensor. Prestige helped me out with...

I had heard that the new owners were going to tweak the chassis a little. This is my 3rd car project, with my previous builds being frame-off street/track builds (1969 Firebird and a 1966 Mustang FB). I was so frustrated with this thing a few months ago that I actually put it up for sale! A...

I bought mine 18 months ago from Chris (the original owner). He had mine done in 6 months.

I am finding there are lots of things with the AP body that need to be re engineered!

Refitting the rockers…the underside of the lip will need to be worked down a little since it is now fatter than shipped due to the extra epoxy and 1708 layer. The alignment pins now sit below the top of the rocker. The receiver on the clam now dictates the panel gap. I came up with a simple way...

Rear curves in about 3/8”…front appears straight.

Correct, at least this side curves in at the rear tire end (I'll have to check the front tire end). I noticed this when I was trying to mark it to cut off the excess epoxy. I realized that the area over the frame will need to be straight, but the outside top of the rocker isn't.

Final trim isn’t done yet, but much better than before….since it will be visible when the rear clam is lifted.
