Crazy Californians I reached a point where I didn’t know what to do next. None of the body panels had been bolted down because I wasn’t sure where to start. I needed to fit the spider, rockers, doors, rear clamshell, front clip, and rear bobtail. I mentioned my dilemma to H and my desire to...

Front Clip Trunk Cutout I was skeptic at first but after seeing Rufus’s car and the easy access to the front area, it just made sense to liberate the trunk lid from the front clip. Rufus sent me the templates that H had fabricated for his own car and gave me a set of hinges. I followed the...

Strengthened the rear bumper attachment my adding a bracket on each side from the bumper/bobtail to the support frame.

The original front wheel well forward flair sticks out way to far. Like many others, I cut down the flair, bonded a flat piece of fiberglass and added more fiberglass to the inside. Looks so much better!

Comet NEOWISE Took a few photos to document its appearance. It'll be back in 6766 years!

I had a chance to update the wiring schematics with the following changes: 1. Added door latch actuators and switches. I'm using the parking lights function on the Infinity Box key fob to enable the relays to unlatch the doors. 2. Added a battery cutoff relay to cutoff power to prevent...

It's been awhile since I posted so: Like others, I changed out the rear wheel studs. Even though I had a little over ½” of thread engagement, and the rule of thumb is to have a thread engagement that is at least as long as the diameter of the stud (12mm), I feel better with the longer studs. I...

Fantastic craftsmanship as usual. Looks amazing!

Hi Larry, it felt great! My first drive was on Father's day. The car is simply amazing. Checkout my First Drive video on YouTube. As you can see I still have a long way to go but driving the car felt great!

Many members have reviewed my electrical schematics and I sincerely hope they have provided help with their builds. Over the past few months I have made a few wiring changes therefore I revised the schematics. Please note that I have not finished installing the interior lighting, side mirrors...

Hi Larry, I like the Infinity System (see post #160). It’s an easy and clean looking installation and is great for troubleshooting your wiring. I have the Universal Infinity Wiring system so it did not come with premade harnesses like for an SLC. I prefer to make my own harnesses so this was the...

Hi Larry, That's the seat belt harness bar that has been powder coated red (see photo prior to powder coating). Rufus came up with the design. The switches are from Brian at Racewire Solutions at https://racewiresolutions.mysimplestore.com. He has a lot of high quality switches and wiring...

Your right Larry! Before I can drive it, I have a few issues: 1. I sent the VTC (Valve Timing Controller) back to FAST. It wasn't communicating with the other controllers. 2. I purchased new seats and harnesses but they won't be shipped till August due to COVID-19. I'll install the original...

Hi Joel, The male trinary or binary switch will thread directly into the supplied drier. Note: after that post I changed the trinary switch to a binary switch (P/N Vintage Air 11079-VUS). My FAST ECU's will turn on the fans when the AC is turned on therefore I only need the binary function...

Fuel Filler Neck and Tubing The front clip will be bolted down since I’m cutting out the center section. Therefore, instead of using the supplied fuel filler support, I installed the filler neck on the front clip, passenger side like Rufus, Larry and others. I built up the filler neck location...

Hi Larry, The GPS speedometer was part of the Speedhut kit that came with the car. The speedometer has a built-in display and has the following menu items: odometer, trip odometer, clock, elevation, direction, 0-60 mph timer and a 1/4 mile timer.
