Fit the hood hinges to the hood and glassed in aluminum plates for anchor screws. Still need to clean up the glass work and then attach the hinges and fit the hood into the front clam

Pictures

Added vertical plates in front of the door hinges to give the front clam an area to attach and also act as a seal/block in front of door. Fiber glassed plated into the front clam that will match up to the plates in front of the doors

Made cardboard patterns for the front vertical panel extensions to fill the gap up to the clam and provide a ledge for the new return flanges on the clam to bolt to. Cut 3/16 aluminum pieces from the patterns and attached them to the front vertical pieces.

Sorry I haven't post in a while. I will try and update here now. I've been working on body modifications and fitment. I decided to cut the hood into the front clam like H did. Borrowed the fiber glassing templates from H and cut the slots for thew templates into the front clam. Inserted the...

Mike--be sure to set the windshield in and make sure it seat without rocking. You may need to adjust the spider to eliminate the rocking if it rocks

I sure do. After six weeks of fighting the body fitment, I removed everything and started from scratch. Found out where my interference problems were and after rectifying that, it started to go together much better. Working on the rear clam now. You are doing the right thing by fitting your...

Great work Mike. You are moving right along.

I've been fitting the body---spider, doors, front and rear clams and windshield. Lots of fitting, changing location of a component then refitting it all again. Getting close. Once the spider is in final position and locked down, I will install the dash and gauges. Once that is done, I will...

Can you provide the manufacture and part number of the rubber pushon seal?

Welcome to the fun

Finished running the AC hoses and crimped the last two ends that connect to the compressor. Borrowed a nice crimper from a friend and did them on the car. Put the vacuum pump on and ran it for 2 hours. Closed the valves in and has not moved for 5 hours. Will check it in the morning :))...

Paul it depends on your engine and your seating position preferences. The only option that I kept was the parking brake option. IMO it is well worth the money.

Engine and Graz back in the car. Wiring complete except for lights and interior options. Firewall insulated. Electric power steering unit installed and working. I've been testing wiring and has gone well. Only an few small hiccups. Starting on exhaust. Once exhaust is complete it will be...

Welcome to the fun. I would suggest that the first thing you do is set a rough ride height and rough alignment. This will allow you to locate the body panels correctly so the tires/wheels are centered in the wheel wells of the body. This will allow you to proceed with setting the spider in...
