SL-C #50 Allan's Build

[Ken Roberts]

Thought I'd bump Allan's build thread back to the top. Lots of good information within.

 

[Mark Setter]

Amazing car from the build expert! Maybe I missed it, but what seats/covering did you use?

Thanks, I have used many seats. Cipher racing seats currently in my SL-C (5'10" max. height), Bride seats, stock seats (original and current), custom seats, Tillett b-5's and yes a set of GTM seats.

For goodness sake, raise your asking price. You're killing my SLC's resale value...:shocked:

Seriously, you have a nice SLC and you can get more for it. Think about increasing the price to something with six digits in it.

I can't wait to watch your GT-R build. Will you be doing a video series again?

 

[Allan]

I know, I know. But it's already under deposit.

And yes I will be making videos start to finish on the GT-R build.

 

[Justin]

Someone is going to be very lucky to get that SLC!!!

 

[Scott Rowland]

Surprised it isn't gone yet.

 

[Allan]

Surprised it isn't gone yet.

It is under deposit.

 

[Michael]

Congratulations Allan. Someone is getting a nice car at a great price!

I'm also looking forward to following your GT-R build!

Take care, and Merry Christmas!

Mike

 

[Grant S]

Yes they are !!! Even with the Canadian dollar only at .50 cent to a USD it would have been a steal. Where were you five years ago when I bought mine lol I would have been all over that, you gave it away.

 

[Daniel G]

Congrats Allan! Looking forward to seeing your GTR build. Lucky guy who snatched up your SLC.

 

[Mark Setter]

I am happy the sale of your SLC went as you had hoped. I must tell you that you had a ton of positive vibes headed your way regarding the sale so that you would get the GT-R build underway. I am SOOO glad to hear that your are starting one. I may get my GT-R delivery in February, but you will be past me in no time. I really look forward to following your build. Thank you for all of the help you have provided all of us. Happy Holidays!

 

[Mike Giblin]

Allan, I am also looking forward to your lead!

 

[Allan]

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I am starting to have seller's remorse but the deal is done. Went for a nice long drive on Friday and got reminded what a great car the SL-C is.
That said, I am really looking forward to building the GT-R. But I have to finish up two builds first. A SL-C with a race built 880 hp LS9 and a SL-C track car with a Ford Coyote engine.
I am looking forward to working with fellow GT-R builders, would really like to have it on the road by June...

Allan, bringing up an older post, but i have a question on the dash, did you do without defroster vents on this one, or just do the drivers side?

How important are the defroster vents?

Like the others said, the Alsa soft clear looks fantastic.

The defroster vent is only open on the driver's side. I never had an issue with the windshield fogging up. I know of other builders that just put never fog on the windshield.

The Alsa soft feel paint does come out nicely. If you use it just make sure that it fully flashes before applying the second coat, otherwise it will come out glossy.

 

[Frank Clark]

I have not used any of the soft coatings, but as I remember, that one is $$$.

There are a number of alternatives in that space now that such as:

gobigbrain.com/brain-dead-soft-touch-flat-clear/

But I have no experience with any of them...

 

[John]

Thanks Allan.
Frank, good info. I'll give that a try.

 

[Frank Clark]

If it works, I'll let you spray my parts with the left overs
