    Panel gapping body filler technique?

    I found this photo, but can't find any discussion about this, appears to be a technique to get the panel gaps exactly where you want them. 1. Is body filler strong enough to become the new edge of a body panel? Or is this not filler, something like 3M™ Marine High Strength Repair Filler? Looks...

    Who here has made a 'tool roll' for their build, something that is kept in the car like old Ferrari, Porsche, etc?

    I am wanting to make a tool roll for one of my builds (Lotus Esprit). I've seen some nice leather tool rolls on Etsy, but they all just have slots for screwdrivers and wrenches. They don't seem to be made for car use.. I'm wanting to incorporate sockets as well, probably in a zippered or velcro...

    6 hole Momo pattern steering wheel hub adapter to 3/4"dd shaft?

    I'm looking for a steering wheel hub adapter for a mild steel 3/4" double d steering shaft. Ideally 6 hole Momo pattern. I've seen some 3 hole Grant pattern adapters, will go with that with a 3 to 6 hole adapter if I can't find a Momo pattern hub. Anyone aware of one? Thanks! Dave

    Hard to believe they are so close. Especially with the devaluation of the USD.

    Is it OK to mount a/c service ports horizontally?

    It would save me a lot of headaches if I can mount my a/c high pressure (and possibly low pressure as well) ports so that the lay horizontally, rather than vertical. Will this cause any problems? I found a photo in a MotorTrend article about retrofitting a/c into an old muscle car, it looks like...

    Affordable 12v electric a/c compressor options?

    Looks like most electric cars are running high-voltage a/c compressor pumps... Are there any reasonably priced 12v electric a/c compressors available? Is that even an option? Any oem options in the junkyards? Would simplify a mid-engined arrangement... Thanks! Dave

    What car is this? Nurbugring spinout video.

    I'm sure many of you know what this car is, I really like the styling. Seems like a pretty short wheelbase which probably didn't help keep it from spinning backwards into the wall. Could someone identify it for me? Thanks! Dave This photo is the rear after it backed into the wall, probably...

    Junkyard electric vacuum pump for brake booster?

    What is everyone using for a stand-alone vacuum pump for a power brake booster? Do any of the oem vehicles have a 12v vacuum pump that functions stand-alone? Or any affordable aftermarket pumps? Just a street car, not going to be tracked or driven (too) aggressively! Thanks! Dave

    Mounting a Cayman S gearbox?

    I have an inverted Porsche g96 gearbox in a mid engine kit car. For my newest project, I picked up a 2006 Cayman S gearbox for a mid engine project. The 911 gearboxes mount at the end opposite the bellhousing. This Cayman S box has wing type mounts just aft of the CV flanges. The gearbox also...

    Is the SL-C radiator outlet at an efficient location?

    Quick introduction: 1st post, but I've browsed this forum for years! Have built a Cobra replica and am currently building a (very modified chassis) mid-engined 'kit car' out of Massachusetts. I actually bought that kit from Fran, someone had traded it in for an SL-C kit. The SL-C bug is really...
