Or nightmares!

 

[Rod Brace]

Finally getting it all stripped down.

 

[Terry Oxandale]

What's the plan Rod. Will 6 years be enough time?

 

[Rod Brace]

I'm hoping way less than 6 year! Engine is at the machine shop getting line honed. I ordered all my titanium for my exhaust 2 days ago and the eletric a/c compressor. I still have to buy probably 30-40k of stuff yet like paddle shift steering wheel and engine management system that will work with my trans for shifting. And shocks and springs then I have 90% of the rest of the stuff I think.

Looks Good Rod, going to be watching the rebirth of this one.

The old transaxle is a Saginaw out of a 69 corvair new one is a Holinger Holinger MFT

 

[Rod Brace]

All stripped and started the major surgery. I did also import a 12v DC little scroll a/c compressor for this project. I need to hurry up and make more money as I bought a McLaren m6 gt replica.

 

[Rod Brace]

Eletric A/C compressor

 

[Neil]

Rod, who makes that little A/C compressor?

 

[Rod Brace]

Ningbo I think. Its Chinese

 

[Neil]

Thanks, Rod.

 

[Rod Brace]

Surgery begins.

Hi, I think this is an 220volt or 11o volt compressor and you need a 12v to 110 /220 volt transformer
and you will consume on the 12v battery around 35 amps to power the unit....
