Why are you guys in fantasy land? Taking care of the details means work.. Only the few have walked the SL-C path..

Peanut butter and Jelly.. Been there.. Done!!

Extremely picky and buying an SL-C are words that don’t mesh..

A build manual... You really are joking....

I'm continuing efforts on the main body.. I need to button that up so that I can move on to various items that require the body be on the chassis. My new axles will arrive soon as well. Thank you Driveshaft Shop..

Marcus... You must be joking...

This past weekend I created a debris screen to protect my A/C condenser and radiator. I also continued filler work on the main body and center console.

Sanding away!!! There must be 15-20 hours of sanding and filler work just on the main spider. I sanded for at least 8 hours this weekend.

It’s all better now.. Nothing that 5-10 hours of labor won’t cure..

I plan to post photos tomorrow.

I’m making spacers for the rear C7 hubs. I plan to have the C7 hubs installed this weekend..

Yes, it can be depending on how much machining you want to do to the upright as well as adding a shoulder to the spacer / adaptor. Ron: This is exactly why I'm not forthcoming with my comments on this site. It's because everyone has to chime in with their $0.02. It's like Facebook for...

Tonight I started the conversion to C7 hubs for the rear of my SL-C. It’s more work / cost than the front hub swap for sure. This is what I found thus far: I purchased the 33 spline to Porsche 930 CV joint stub axles from the driveshaft shop. These arrived with the securing nuts and also...

A simpler tank such as the one used in my build works and is lower cost and easier to fabricate.

Something like this....

You choose the bung size / locations and the cap that you want. Do you want a sight tube in the side as well?
