10mm socket in engine bay?
My setbacks have been frustrating and left me scratching my head several times. It is expected and just part of the fun of making your own car.

Looking good!

Looking good!

Thank you for the comment..

Tail light covers and license plate are installed. Just a bit more fiberglass on the nose cone and she’ll be ready to drive…

 

[Aaron H.]

It’s drive time. The rear clam closes and locks. Anyone that actually has built one of these knows that nothing is easy with this project. The nose cone goes on tomorrow evening..

Wow, you are cooking along Aaron! Looks like you are getting close to paint!

I thought about paint this winter but I’m getting pretty burnt out on the SL-C. Instead, I might just do interior work and finish the instrument panel and A-pillar covers.

I still dig the split spoiler, enough that I actually bought a replacement spoiler for my daily, the Camaro. Just looks more at home on the SLC than the Camaro. Keep up the progress when you feel up to it!

Those that have done it know how much work it really is…

In the wild..

She is looking incredible with the doors open. The side view mirrors are dope, she is going to be a stunner when she gets the final touches.

Car show this past weekend.

Radiator inlet duct in process.. Making mold…

 

[Aaron H.]

Fiberglassing tonight.

 

[Howard Jones]

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Perfect inlet ducting. My advice would be to make an exit duct in the same manner and not simply rely on the radiator exit airflow to find its way out of the nose via the exit hole in front of the windshield. On my car, a simple "ramp" didn't work. There was too much turbulence created in the nose and all it did was heat everything up nicely. The duct I made didn't require any heat insulation in the nose. That may have been because it is made from fiberglass.

You did a good job on the inlet. One more to go!
