On the camera mount- Make sure its high enough to see over the rear wing (if you use one) if not, it might be better to locate it in the rear panel as high up as you can place it. I made that mistake and the only thing I could see was the wing when looking through the cam.
Kurt, we are sharing basically the same drivetrain. Do you happen to have any part numbers on the driveshafts? I’ll will be contacting the driveshaft shop tomorrow and see what they have.
Also, I have a shifter with the car and some cables, I’m unsure if they will work with my G96 or if they were actually meant for the Graz. Does yours look similar?View attachment 111028

Kurt, love the progress. Nice job on the #10 hose, nice tight bend into the radiator hole.
I see you are using the HCV from the vintage air kit, just wanted to make sure you are aware on an LS engine with a mechanical water pump it is recommended to use a HCV which always circulates water through the water pump.
Joel,
You are like the big brother I never had, always looking out for me! (I am the oldest of the four).
I installed a 1/4" crossover hose between the 5/8 and 3/4 lines right next to the water pump similar to what Cam T did on his build. (sorry for how dark the picture is)

If I have overheating problems or this crossover reduces the effectiveness of the cabin heater too much I can always switch the heater valve later when I pull the body back off for paint (I am currently planning to drive the car partially finished late next summer to debug most of the systems before final paint and interior finishing.
Thank you again for all your assistance. Once we finish our cars we will have to find a way to get together sometime and compare builds in person. I have been tossing the idea around in my head of organizing a SL-C rally/get together in the future. Maybe combine it with a large car show or gathering like the Hot Rod Power Tour. Just thinking out loud a little.
Yep, I love this shade of red (Porsche Guards Red). It is really bright in the sunlight, pictures do not do it justice. A little more German Heritage in this build to go along with the German Transaxle and German decent builder.

Back to polishing aluminum tomorrow night.
Since my family canceled our Thanksgiving get together and my wife's family reduced their get together to deserts only for a short visit I have more shop time available to me over the upcoming Holiday. One good thing to come from all of this I guess.
