HELP! Does anyone know the dimensions of the stock SLC fuel tank? I need this information to make sure the engine does not interfere with the fuel tank and it's fittings.
I ended up buying the "Z06 wheels from Paul Teutul Sr" that were on eBay, thanks Howard Jones for the link! I will go pick them up from Oregon this weekend. One step closer to a rolling chassis!
A buddy came over to check out the project and he helped me roughly place the car together. It was cool to see it with the body laid in place and a good opportunity to sit in the driver spot and make vroom vroom sounds. LOL
The previous owner had hard anodized the suspension and consequently some of the bolts no longer fit in the holes, so they had to be reamed out with a straight flute reamer.
My wife also got in to confirm pedal placement.... or to make engine noises and row the wheel back and forth a bit.
Finally was able to piece together all of the suspension and remove the full race cage (For Sale if anyone is interested!).
A shot of the rear suspension, note that there has been no consideration for Caster/Camber/Toe settings just yet. I plan on taking the whole thing apart to lube the rod ends adjust all of the lengths and then do a loc-tite re-assembly of each corner.
The beautifully built race cage (PM me if you are interested!)
I removed the welded in Fuel cell cover, because I'm converting to a standard Fuel Tank. I have the FIA certified fuel bladder which expired in 2017 if anyone is interested in it. I didn't want to deal with taking the car apart every 5 years to replace the fuel bladder.
Does the normal SLC kit come with a Fuel Tank Cover?
