I think this counts. Alternator problem late, ran out of juice before getting back to the garage. Boy it is a much tighter fit than I thought, especially without any rear view mirrors to help out. Link is

All buttoned up in front also. Dsuz on nostril and front clip. Don’t recall if I mentioned the windshield is done also

Some pictures. We have pins done on the rear clip. Rear lexan installed. Carbs with tea balls. And the Sarma latches done. Seats with seat belts too.

I think I am going with Dodge Destroyer Gray

Some pictures.

Yep, it is an RCR. Didn't have a VIN at least that I know of. I do have the blank RCR VIN plate. Yeah, I am in trouble now though as following the process, I will have to wait for the state to issue the blue VIN (in theory), and my insurance agent can't seem to figure out a way to insure it...

Rear Clip Hold Downs. Hard to show this in pictures, but maybe the explanation helps someone someday, and maybe I will post pictures that help out at some point. I built two braces that are at right angles that mount on the firewall, these hold the pins that will protrude through the top of...

OK, will pass along what I have learned so far. Went to the DMV yesterday to start the process. Pay them a bunch of money and I have the plates already. They spent a lot of time looking up what they had to do for a kit car, and finally found something. Seems like it will be titled with the...

Closer and Closer. Engine purring now, things coming together.

Dwight, I have the same one, I am pretty sure you have it correct. I do know / recall that you need 12V on the pos for it to work, there was some words in the documentation that initially led one to believe maybe not, but it is needed. The send goes to the gauge, and Neg is ground.

Thanks everyone for the good ideas, I have some things to try now.

Have not tried etch primer, was thinking that I might have to try some acetone and a few wipes next time, so that is good confirmation of maybe trying that.

Hello, Many searches and web advice and nothing seems to make sense. I have primed or painted this same area at least three times, with sanding and removing material in the middle of those as well as wiping down with pre-paint prep and I get the same thing happening in the same place every...

And a video of the first time the key was turned. Bad cell service at my house. Finally got it to upload.

First start today. Woo woo

Lessons Learned in Bundles of Snake Charming. So you test fit your headers a few different times over the many past months when working out clearances and lines and everything. Each time you bolt them up snug with an appropriate bolt and everything goes fine. Then you are ready to install for...

Half shafts in. Torqued to sixty foot pounds with lock washers and red loctite. Shaft angle right now is 12.1 degrees on each side

One slight change on the oil nozzles. Had not quite finished when I posted before. Decided to use oil resistant black RTV on thread instead of loctite. Can’t quite figure out if loctite is ok for nylon or not.

Ok. My situation is good now. Sent the stub axles back to RCR and got new ones (with bolts that turn into them). Fran said they are 10mm by 1.25. The Porsche end is 10mm by 1.5 as Dwight said. So now I have the right bolts for both ends and the right threads for the bolts to turn into. Maybe...
