Fling SLC Build Thread

[Michael Fling]

Loving that whole overhead setup. Where did you find the aviation-style eyeball vents?

So long ago... I don't recall. Online for sure.

Hi Mike! What part of Oklahoma are you in? I would love to see that beast in person if possible

Edmond.. I would be happy to have you take a look.

Nice video Michael. I will be watching it on the big screen when I get home. Hard to see all the details on my phone. Looks like a nice build with several upgrades.
Congrats !!!
Regards Brian

I’m not real sure how to post videos on this thread. So I went ahead and posted it on YouTube. I named it SLC Panther.

Michael, outstanding work. So many custom touches really set this car apart. I like your idea of using magnets to attach the interior panels. Probably will give that a try and see how it works out.

Wow. Amazing fab work. I love those the headlights.

 

[Jeff W]

Wow. Thanks for the tour of the car. Always interesting to see what people’s solutions and choices are in the build. Those headlights look great.

btw - for some reason the shared images are inaccessible. Or maybe it’s just me?

 

[Michael Fling]

Had a board made for car shows… saves me from having to explain to everyone what it is…

I just didn’t have enough knee room with the lower yellow piece at the base of the dash. So I modified it. You can see that I raised it i

n the knee area so I’ve got plenty of room now. The center console has the up-and-down lift on the left, the forward/back pedal assembly on the right and the electric emergency brake in the center. I relocated the AC controls slightly to the right. I also put drink holders in the base near the floor.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction to whoever made the headlights?

I believe those are off of a Nissan Altima. Not sure what year.

Hi Michael,
I know you've on from this project, but could I ask which exhaust manifolds you used. I am also building a side exhaust SLC.
Thanks,
Rob

My apologies for the typo. I meant "moved on".

Highly Modified SLC for Sale Complete Description

I’m selling my SLC so I can go to a track build. The complete build is on the RCR Clubhouse Website. I have 100s of photographs and several YouTube videos (Links below). Since the videos were made, I have modified the yellow strip under the dash to make room for driver's legs. Very comfortable...

I’m the caretaker of this SLC now, although I won’t have Mike’s expertise as to what was used here or there, it will get lots of miles and be responsible for many smiles… on street and track.

Would love to see your start and ownership thread on the car. Most building them are always curious what the driving experience is like and we never have enough photos of the beautiful cars.
