    Southern GT #70

    So turns out drilling the dash harder than it seems, the larger tach and speedo holes are a touch too big in the US sizes. If you are a fraction off it shows. Running hole saw backwards is the key but it can still jump. Thought the key and fuel switch placement was total shite, especially as I...

    Southern GT #70

    Added 1/2” angle and 1 1/2” angle to add support for the rear glass and frame sourced from Llama Bite. Amazing how many times you can misdrill a hole, tap, weld up, redrill, retap! 3 friggin times. The welded holes demolished drill bits, I was down to my last one and finally got it. I was...

    Southern GT #70

So I cut the seam again and with help of a heat gun and the sun, 106F degree day, I was able to pull up the top, level, then the underside...

    Southern GT #70

    Finally getting back on my project with a simple mod on the chassis to notch for my coolant tubes to have clearance and not to be in a bind. Ordered a second Revotec Comex fan and dumping the oil cooler up front, will place in the rear. I have decided that more fan forced cooling the better.

    Air Gap Between header and body

    Is there a good rule about what the airgap should be between the exhaust headers and body work. I need to create space to get my body to fit around my SGT headers that are wide. I tried a set of headers from a real GT40 however because of the UN1 transmission my engine sit up an inch higher...

    Homemade CFRP mid engine sports car

    Have you decided on a drive train yet? Still voting for a wicked turbo diesel that wisks you along and gets 40mpg.
