Well the Mclaren sold for $125K and bidding stooped on the Muira that they took up at 2 million dollars, just shy of the reserve. Wish I had got to go but did not make it

Yes, that does look like some large amount of effort to tig weld it. I am glad to see you back at it and will be watching the thread as you progress. Keep it up. Chip

I hope the SLC turns out to be the best car around and cant wait to see how fast it is on a track. I searched the forum for mention of the wheelbase and did not find it other than it was like that of a GTP car. What is the length? thanks, Chip

The tech guy at ATL that I spoke too just frowned on the idea of all the fuel being above the exit point in the bladder. I still wanted to fill from the top like normal an I thought there must be some way of haveing a liquid tight seal bulkhead from the bottom. Maybe it was just his personal...

I guess it comes down to cost. Thats why I asked about the bladder fuel cells versus if there were any guys running home built aluminum tanks. I wanted to have the tanks equalized with a cross over with a surge tank in the middle and I did not find any bladder type cells that have a cross over...

I had thoughts on that as well. I went solid mount because I know so many guys running solid mounts on the desert race cars with the LS motors. I hope it is OK and if the vibration is the only concern in the end, I can live with it. I wonder what Fran at RCR is doing for mounts on the SLR since...

Got a little time again so made some progress. Stuffed the fuel tanks with the ATL foam they cut for me, 9x9x26 was tuff to get in the opening but with some cussing and a little blood I did it. I got the C6 Z06 6 pot calipers and 14" rotors the other day so new wheels where now needed to fit...

I had some time over the weekend to do my fuel tanks. Nothing special but should work for now. They are aluminum with a stainless cross over tube that is 1.5" diameter and about 3/4 gallon surge tank in the middle that will be the lowest point of the system. After reading all post concerning...

It will be in the auction and the race as well I think. They have several car's at pebble beach again this year, mostly Lambo Muira's. I am dying to go.....

Hey! I got one of Chris's Chassis too. This Mclaren is what got me hooked on cars from this era. Are you posting any pics of your project yet?

Stopped by a friends shop and noticed his Mclaren having some things finished up and he says he is getting it ready for the historic races and then the auction next month. All I had handy was a cell phone for pics but I got a couple that came out ok. This is one of the 17 that were made by the...

Thanks for the reply. I will finish the tanks I have started but when I am up and runnig I can always upgrade. One reason I wanted to do my own is to build in a 3rd small sump tank between the two pod tanks so they are tied together and run the return to the sump. We'll see if it works shortly.

Is it a neccessity or just a safety issue for track use. As much as I would like the full bladder type I am welding up my own pod tanks and now wondering if I am the only one who will have home made tanks. I did get the ATL foam for the inside. thanks, Chip

What an outstanding shop. Tons of inventory and cars in the works. Love the Youtube of the Black SL-C, big nasty rumble with a whole lot of rubber! What size tire is that on it?

I got some time finally to get more on the Chassis done. I finished the motor and trans mounts useing the motor mounts in front, the adapter plate and the tail end of the trans. All solid mount but I am not looking for comfort. I also got the rack that I needed from Chris at GTReproductions. It...

does $425 plus shipping tempt anyone?

just looked it up. 2006 Scotsdale auction #1328 sold for $165K plus fee's.

a few years back there was a 917 replica at the Barrett auction. I can not recall if it was a Kraftwerkz car but it went for a ton of money.

New pics, nice, SL-C....now thats a supercar. The quality of the build and design are very impressive and black really looks good on it. I am thinking of doing a vacation trip to the "Run-n-Gun" just to see one. Great product Fran!

This is a complete KEP kit for the LS series motors and a G50/52 Porsche gearbox. I had an extra for another project that got cancelled. I am not sure how many other G50 variants it will bolt to but can give you any dimensions if you need to check. Asking $550 plus shipping. Email me at...
