Looking forward to seeing you guys at Stoneleigh Chris, Ive been in awe of your work since you started! I'm going to give you guys a call after I've finished the 40 in a few years :)

Hi Guys Looking to get a set of tanks made and debating whether to get them foam filled or not? What is the general consensus on this would you bother? They would only be part filled as I am planning on having 4 compartments in the tanks separated by a trap door or baffles. The tank plan is...

Well done, all that hard work has paid off! Looks great too!

Just about done with panelling for the time being so heading back to the front of the car to do the brakes, finish fitting the panelling and mount the radiator (Should be here tomorrow). Just looking to find the ideal position for my brake servos. What do you all think of these ideas, I'm...

Hi all Still busy progressing with the car weather permitting :(. I've got the front suspension fitted now and half the front panels are riveted in place, I've also just about finished all the rear panels near the engine bay and these will be sent off to the powder coaters over the next few...

Thanks for the offer Bob, If I'm your way soon I will take you up on that! That tool from earls is nice, quite pricey for a one off job though :( Keith Couldnt find that tool when I last went to B&Q think its discontinued :(, you can occasionally pick one up on ebay though, think its...

Thats the thing. The a Nostalgic kit for $749.99 comes with the compressor and condensor, I believe to add these to the CBS kit would be another £300 plus vat. Even with todays exchange rate as long as the shipping is reasonable its cheaper to get from Nostalgic

The kit from these guys looks good and includes compressor etc. Price is really good in the states unfortunately for us in blighty they want $1000 to deliver :( , I may try and contact them to get a revised shipping quote as that is ridiculous :(. Southern Air Heating and Cooling Kits and Units

Does anyone know of a company in the Bristol area UK where I can get some beads on some ali pipes which I'm going to use for my cooling? Thanks in advance

Hi all I need to cut my ali cooling pipes to length so i can get them beaded. I dont have my engine yet (going to be a 302 sbf) so im not sure how far they need to protrude into the engine bay. Anyone got any ideas on how much i should have them protrude in? Thanks in advance. PS Found...

Thanks mate. I'm thinking of using some of that stone chip film in the wheel arches. Something like this E-Tech Transparent Car Bodywork Stone Chip, Scratch & Scruff Protection Film | eBay

Bit of work this weekend. Managed to rivet a few of the passenger side wheel arch panels on to the car. Need to add my sound proofing to the panels on the other side then fit them.

I'm sorry to hear she has suffered these disabilities Frank. Your post here and your article in the enthusiasts magazine has convinced me. I shall be removing the cage from my car.

This sad thread has just about made up my mind about the roll cage in my car. My head seems perilously close to it so I think I shall be removing it before I install the spider. Did the poor girl ever recover Frank?

Cheers Renato. Yeah I was really pleased with the powder coating, my brothers company sends alot of work down to this paint shop and I got 37 panels coated for a good price! I know what you mean about the pipes, I'm not too sure about Darrens way of going high over the rack with the pipes...

A few more

Hi all Been back working on the car havent done a great deal since last post as Ive been distracted by getting married and everything associated with that! Ive got all my front panels done now apart from the internal bulkhead which I'm going to do when I'm happy with the coling pipe run. All...

Fantastic Panelling job Paul, looks brilliant! Thanks for posting those engine bay pics, I was wondering how I was going to panel that area!

Hi Darrin I got the following from Rally Design at the Stoneleigh Kit show last week, I think its from a escort? Professional Motorsport Parts, Spares & Rally Equipment from Rally Design

Ive been doing my last few panels by hand, Ive been roughly cutting out the shape with a jigsaw. For long straight edges on 1.2mm ali I have been leaving between 5 - 10mm then scoring the line with a sharp stanley knife then folding over in vice. Once cleaned up with file looks pretty good.
