Fantastic Rufus. Congratulations!

Hi Jim & Paul, I live in Palmdale (north of LA). You're both welcome to visit my build and see the car firsthand. The Type 65 Daytona coupe is a beautiful car. I have been to the Factory Five gatherings at Huntington Beach and the cars are really nice. The build difference is the FF...

Fantastic work Mike. Beautiful job!

Thanks Larry, I used a multi-purpose cutting bit with the Dremel router attachment (it's what I have). I would use the Dremel #650 1/8" straight router bit if I was going to do it again. I cut 50% into the panel thickness and took it slow. Kurtiss

Hi Joel, My decision was based on Ford Performance’s oil flow requirement. In 2015, Ford Performance changed their engine oil line size recommendation on the Coyote engines from a -10 to -12. As you know, a -12 (3/4”) oil line is BIG. Dean’s engine seized after a dyno run and Ford said it was...

Hi Larry (I sent you a PM) The bumper is available (hope it still is) from Kirk at AmeriSport Industries. You can contact him through the website https://www.amerisportindustries.com/contact. I purchased mine last November.

Thank you Larry! Yes, I posted the schematics so others can see what I'm doing and to use on their own build. Attached is a list of electrical components and hardware I used. Instead of Weatherpack connectors, I used Deutsch connectors throughout due to their small size and ease of assembly...

The GT-R is a little different than the SL-C so I’ve asked Jay Lewis of Infinity Box to make a few programming changes for the fog lights and power requirements for the FAST engine controllers. Wire assignments are attached. Changes are as follows: FOG LIGHTS to be controlled by dash mounted...

I received the Infinity Box electrical system from RCR in December, Yay! My Infinity Box system is the 20-Circuit universal wiring system and preprogrammed for the Superlite SL-C. The system came with the inLINK RF Control Module pre-installed, two remote controls and an installation guide. I...

I contacted Ron McCall and installed one of his rear bumpers. It’s a quality fiberglass piece and compliments the diffuser, exhaust outlets and rear wing supports. I bonded a couple of angle pieces to the bumper and installed the same on the rear clip. The plate in-between is slotted at the...

This is exciting! I’ve been working on a prototype shifter with Jim Cunningham, owner of Brandwood Cars LLC, who builds the Cable-SHiFT shifters supplied as original equipment with the GT-R and SLC. Jim has made a huge improvement by redesigning the shifter to lower the overall height by 1-1/2”...

I have been working on my car but haven’t posted any photos for a long time. It’s been a busy holiday season so I’ll begin posting over the next couple of weeks. I'll also be posting info and photos for the shifter, exhaust, dash defrost ducting, wiper motor, and electrical. I installed the...

Had a great time with my family at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. This is our sixth year working for Race Management on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My other hobby is photography and the photo ops at the race are plentiful. In 2011 I took photos lots of photos including the American Lemans...

Hi Larry, I'm months away from starting the car. I have an exhaust system to build, an electrical system to install, brakes and clutch to fill and bleed, etc. I have a lot to do and that's what makes this challenging and fun. The fuel sending unit and gauges came from RCR but they do not...

Larry, my post #49 shows a Process & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) of my fuel system components and layout. As you know, there are multiple ways to supply fuel to the engine that is efficient, continuous and quiet. H Craft Customs modified his fuel tank for an in-tank fuel system that is...

Ken and Ian, I appreciate your input. Your right, it's not an efficient way to obtain flow through the heater core and mounting the nipples at an angle would provide better flow. I live in the southwest and I'm not as concerned about heating the interior as I am cooling. In the future, if the...

My good friend, Rufus Mathews, mentioned that my brake Residual Pressure valves may be installed backwards. The arrows normally point in the direction of flow but the arrows stamped on my valves were opposite of those of other valves of the same design. I replaced the Superlite supplied Residual...

I installed a Stroud 5lb FE-36 fire suppression system. I located the bottle behind the passenger seat and routed one line to the dash and the other to the engine compartment. I do not plan to race the car - just wanted a little extra insurance. I will also mount a portable fire extinguisher...

To simplify the heater hose routing, I decided to weld 5/8” nipples to the radiator lines at the front of the car and install the Vintage Air electronically controlled heater control valve. This leaves more room at the engine compartment for other items. I’ll install a heater bypass hose to keep...

I installed a set of Hella side marker lights (P/N 008138821) at the front and rear of the car. The marker lights come with a template for cutting a hole in the body panel. I then used a router attachment on my Dremel to cut a recess into the body to provide a professional look.
