Grant's SL-C Build tread

[Grant S]

I just got my seats back from Larry my upholster he did a nice job seats look great and are very comfortable, console, doors and dash are next

 

[Will Campbell]

Unique, and a great look!

 

[Ken Mason]

Very tasteful look Grant.

 

[Grant S]

Thank you Gentlemen.

after listening to everyone talk about how hot it is inside these cars, I decided to do away with the Fiberglass plenum or anchor as some people call it and make something that will increase the air velocity and volume. I opened up the holes in the upper deck above the evaporator and with this new set up I will add two more vents in the center of the dash.The duct hose stretches onto the oval ports perfectly and will go directly to the vents.

Just finished up some Alum pans for each side of the engine bay to hide the exhaust and tidy things up.

Grant,

You may have just invented the first "easy-bake oven" option for the SLC!

 

[Jack]

No Doc, foresight for baking cookies in those cold Canadian winters.
A 30 minute drive and all done!

 

[Scott Rowland]

Looks good!

 

[Grant S]

its hard to tell from the pic's but they do look good in there, as for heat the exhaust isn't that bad the mufflers stay pretty cool, although I haven't had it running for more then 30 mins. The ceramic coating really helps to keep the temps down.
and besides all that who doesn't like cookies

 

[Scott Rowland]

If you put bacon in there you will have lots of people following you!

 

[Grant S]

Don't think you'll smell the bacon over the rubber or the bad odor coming from the passenger pants lol.

Thanks Ken I'll get it figured out one day lol.

 

[Michael Fling]

Sounds great Grant! I am thinking that thing is going to have some serious low end with those little wheels!

 

[Grant S]

finished up my center dash panel, mocked up my sub cover, just have to decide what to use for a rear view camera system.
Im now on my third upholsterer hard to find a good one, waiting for carpets and doors now then will paint and clear the works.

Lots of custom touches there- great work!

Particularly interesting is the way the seats flow into the console- that is surely unique in an SLC so far.

Thanks Will I have made fillers to go between the seats and doors to just haven't finished them up yet.
