Ordered the adapter plate and headers 3 months ago. They both arrived on my doorstep on the same day!

My son and I lifted the rear clam up and over the car to get it mounted on a frame and on the lift in preparation for laying some glass…if it ever warms up in the Midwest. I can tell you already, even without the new front closeouts mount, the clam feels 100% more rigid!

Buyer beware with cheap tow hooks. I think it was Grassroots Motorsports that tested some of the cheap tuner Amazon tow hooks. To make a long story short…for looks only. ZL1addons makes some good ones. I think I could hang my 66 from the ceiling with this setup.

Things are getting a little itchy!

I had originally planned on using a pin on each side of the clam to help secure it down, along with the lower latches. I’m going to have to re-engineer my closeouts to accommodate for that if I want to continue down that road. I could also just use one centrally located pin. This would be...

1/8" sanded plywood had crossed my mind, but I'm not worried about saving a pound here and there, I'm more concerned with the panels being flat and rigid. Also, what little inner structure-wheel well that is bonded to the clam at AP is 1/4" as well...so the seam will match up well with the...

Right now, even without the inner structure, I can open and close the rear clam (with it hitting the locating pins) by myself. The bottom of the clam is set and latches are in place. A preliminary fit of body panels was done prior to finalizing the pin locations. My idea is that when the inner...

That's what I needed...Thanks you! Would you happen to have a side view of the car that shows ride height of the front clam as compared to the rockers? My clam hinges haven't been finalized yet and I need to know ground clearance of the front clam at the front of the wheel well...if this makes...

Do you have a line drawing of the side profile of the body with out any inner structure included? I'm trying to figure out the ground clearance height at the front of the wheel arch of the front clam as it relates to the bottom of the front of the rocker. I'm working on positioning the ground...

From what I have seen in reference photos, there is a slight arc where the clam and spider meet. I’ll attach some photos of my body.

Next step is to pull the coil over spring and see what kind of clearance is needed for the addition to the inner wheel tub under full compression. The way AP attached their part of the close out is unacceptably. I’ll grind out the corner and apply a faring, before layering in some more 1708.

What are the chances that the sides are symmetrical and I can just flip the template around for the driver’s side? I’m liking how things are looking.

With my AP build, the top of the rear clam has an arc to it, while the roof of the spider where it would meet the clam is flat. I suspect the spider flattened out because it is rather flimsy in that area.

Did original MK1's have a subtle arc to the roof where the spider meets the rear clam...or was this area flat?

Motor should be in a truck and on its was today. No rush, since I’m still waiting on the trans adapter plate and headers…along with a few thousand other things that will vaporize my credit card. Working on getting more body projects squared away with the goal of having the body straighten out...

Reason I ask is because the tanks on my AP build are designed to be linked as well, but I only have 1 bung in each tank. What fuel pump did you go with?

Why are you using 2 lines?

Neighbors are gonna hate me a little.

Right on schedule...finalized order on 12/31/24.
