Hi Dave, Good to see you are making progress. I have lots of respect for all you guys scratch building a car. There is so much work in every detail on the car and unless you done it you can't even start to imagine. Keep on the great work! Regards, Renato

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking about. Great write up for a "Sticky" in the appropriate sub forum. I guess, it all takes time and we are all short of it these days. Renato

Did anybody ever suggest having sticky's for certain tasks. I noticed different forums have all kind of task specific sticky's. Not sure if something like that would be helpful on a building forum. As an (bad) example: How to properly rivet a panel to the chassis. Or maybe how to solder or...

Hi David, Very nice setup. Are you inputting two analog signals from sensors in to the processor and averaging the output signal to the dial? Renato

Thanks to all for great information. I like the idea of one fuel sender, simplifies the electric. My guess is the only way to meter two thanks is to have a switch or two gauges (or a double needle gauge like the ones used in aviation). My fuel system is return-less EFI and plan to use...

Hi Dimi, Something like that really puts a dent in to the project that you love and enjoy. Did you pay with a credit card? If you did, try calling CC company and telling them the story. Sometimes they can help. Doesn't matter that you are not local, VISA is local everywhere. Regards, Renato

Steering Fabricated an adapter for Grant steering wheel to NRG quick release. Not sure why the NRG didn't have 5 bolt pattern, maybe I ordered the wrong one. The adapter actually makes a nice transition. NRG was suggested by few members on the forum and it is a well made product. I...

Is anyone connecting fuel tanks with an pipe to equalize level? What would be disadvantage or advantage of doing that? Any first hand experience out there? Regards, Renato

Neville, Thanks so much for the kind words. I was afraid that the responses are going to be like yours. I'm going to see how much is an AC system costs and even if I don't make a decision now I'll prep things so it can be installed at any time. One thing is sure, there is no way to avoid...

Randy, Nice work on the ducts. My first thought was to use mid NACA inlet for fresh air, but if I understood you correctly there is no room between body and chassis to make a water trap? Your chassis is a bit different under the front clip but there is a good chance I can't make it work on mine...

Hi Randy, That is a good point about defogging the windshield. Since I don't have an AC system to ring out the moisture my best bet is to take outside air and heat it. Is the mid NACA inlet the on you used? Do you have a switch/lever to switch between outside or recirculated air...

HVAC Well, its actually HV. I'm not planing to install an AC system (for now). I might regret it later, reading other posts, but I'm trying to stay in budget. Fabricated two brackets and mounted the unit. I didn't plan out the routing of hoses or tubing for now. Is there a need for fresh...

Suspension Fabricated caliper mounting bracket. Waiting on brake pads to position the final two holes. I'm using stock 2012 Mustang parts and EBC Yellowstuff pads for now. My plan for the car is primary street use with occasional track day. This setup will allow me an easy upgrade in...

Steering While waiting on aluminum sheets to arrive I started get the ball rolling in few other departments. Fabricated the front and rear brackets for the steering column from 4130 alloy steel 1/8 thick. I had to cut both original welded brackets because they didn't fit my installation...

Hi Jayson, My pedal box (master cylinders) was hitting the rack mount and the only way was to push the whole assembly forward. I'm tall and needed every inch of leg room so I opted for different pedal box. After some research the Wilwood 950-340-11295 seemed like a good fit. The assembly...

Hi Jayson, I agree with the guys, you shouldn't be going through drill bits that fast. I'm on my fifth drill bit and they were all still usable. I wasn't using bar C to connect the panels together because the bar goes inward. Maybe the picture of paper templates will help. If you need more...

Good point Randy, my firewall is (will be) riveted to roll cage so if I bolt my spider to firewall effectively it will be connected to the roll cage. Renato

Hi David, Where did you buy steering universal joints? One connecting to the rack. Also, how happy are you with the radiator quality and fit? Regards, Renato

Hi Jayson, Laser is the way to go. I cut mine with power shears (look back at my posts), jig saw with aluminum blade or sheet metal notcher. Notcher leaves very clean cut and requires minimum finishing. Shears leave a small mark on top side, so if you cut with good side down, you're OK...

Hi Randy and Chris, Thanks for the advice. Both of you are suggesting similar and good solutions. So, bonding it is! Not sure which way to go yet. I still have some work to do till it's time to bond the spider. Regards, Renato
