Looks fantastic Mark. Congrats! Wondering how painting around the windshield went. Most builders have painted the body then installed the windshield. I’m thinking to get the car on the road in Gelcoat to pass inspection and registration then do the same thing like you and have it painted...

For the sake of completeness this post covers the routing and install the last of the main power cables. Laying all this out took a lot more time than expected. It’s always difficult to make things look neat, but very happy with the way this came out. Used 2 gauge wire to supply power to the...

Mark, Your car turned out fantastic. WGG was a great color choice.

Randy, I second Chris’s opinion. Although I’m doing an SLC and not a GT40. I have seat sliders and an adjustable pedal, but that is really to align your legs and arms to the steering column and pedals. Then put the shifter where it Is comfortable after that. At first I set the shifter where...

Venius, Here are some reference photos I saved…

I’ve seen quite a few SLC build pics that run the exhaust through the diffuser

Here is a pic, I think three were like this and 1 was the opposite… but to my earlier point, they still may mount the seat too far from center…

Kurt, I forgot the whole purpose of the seat brackets was to get them more in-board. Those steel brackets you made came out great. Alex, if you want to get the seat more in board than the stock RCR brackets take a look at Kurt’s build page. If you still want to use the RCR brackets but need...

Alex, As long as you have two outer brackets that point in the right direction you should be good. The inner brackets you can’t see,

This was Koso’s state of the art back in 2019. Fran ordered this for me. I wound up selling it to another builder since I went with the AIM Dash and PDM. Thought it looked great…

Most builders angle the seat slightly toward the center. The steering wheel may need to be angled as well. if you want it lined up with your body which I recommend.

Thanks Hector!

Wondering what other builders are doing to seal up this area? Was thinking of fabricating some close out panels in this area, but maybe there is a simpler solution…

Mark, Thanks for posting this. Glad to hear the battery fired the engine right up. I also went with an Antigravity battery after Dusty and a couple other Ultima builders recommended them.

I would remove the battery case from its mounting bracket. The fuse block would stay in place. I reversed the top two screws to keep the fuse block bracket in place and have something to hang the battery case on when reinstalling…

Finally at the point of installing the electrical components. This thread shows the approach taken to install the battery cables, fuse blocks, and grounding cables. Here is a video on the process… Superlite SL-C Build 111 - Master Fuse and Power Cable Install The battery is installed on the...

I would try John B at HCF Autosports. He can source the Tansaxle, drop gears, and high performance clutch.

Post #277 shows my hard lines which were mounted external… https://www.gt40s.com/threads/joels-sl-c-build-thread.52098/page-14 Attached are some thumbnails of other builders front lines that I saved for reference…

The SLC is a cool ride and I hope the AC system will blow “Cold As Ice” with a leak free system… This post covers crimping the AC Hoses. I debated bringing the hoses to an AC shop, but was concerned they would not be clocked properly so purchased a hydraulic crimping tool from Amazon. This...

I think the advantage of mounting the lines inside is that the flexible brake line goes right to the bulkhead fitting and is at a 90 degree angle which works well. The disadvantage is that you have to get in the footwell to plumb it. Not bad when you have access holes during the build process...
