SL-C #50 Allan's Build

[Jack]

Alex, I spoke of real world experience. The material is somewhat UV stable, but Alsa won't admit to it because the lab testing was not done at the time we tried it. Not the best result in direct sunlight, but in two years the samples we made faded slightly and became measurably harder. Still okay for auto interiors IMO. It won't mar unless you use a very rough fabric or material to clean it with, or try to scratch it with fingernails. It will resist most cleaners.

Allan - Congratulations on the new project. I'm certain the SL-C will be just as impressive as any of the previous machines you've constructed. It looks like you have done your usual masterful job with all the details and the paint is absoutely striking! Have to get over there to see it.
- Allan

So despite the hurricane that kept most of CT without power I managed to spend a lot of time in the garage with the generator running finishing up my SL-C.
Here's some pictures, tomorrow I'm bringing it up to Limerock for a massive vintage and exotic car show.

Allan, which seats are those? The SL-C is looking really sweet!
Congratulations. Expect some pics from LM

Stunning

Congratulations Allan,
The Gray Oz car from a fabrication standpoint is the best, but from a looks standpoint yours is IMO the best so far.
Great color.

 

[Dwight]

Allan are you going to trailer it to Limerock?

Looks great! Like the paint color- it really seems to pop in the sun.

Can't wait to see it in person!

 

[Ben]

LOVE the color! Congrats.

 

[Randy V]

Holy crap - is that GORGEOUS!!!!!

What blue is that???

 

[Dave]

:shocked:
Are you sure you don't have a team of builders in that garage you're not telling us about?!?!?!?!?
Car looks f'ing fantastic.

 

[Dave]

What weatherstripping did you use to seal the doors and clips?

 

[Allan]

Thanks again everyone.
The paint is Viper Blue Pearl and I used 3/4 x 1/2" adhesive back foam bulb seal on the inner door and underside of the clips.

Hopefully I'll get it registered this week.

Allan: Your car is absolutely gorgeous! Although I am a relatively late comer to the group, I like your ideas and attention to detail.
A am strongly considering an SLC (I have to dispense of some other projects first to get both the money and the garage space). Can you give me an idea of the time that you have invested in your SLC? I understand (I think) that you were building two at a time and there is some time savings to be had when you do that, but I am just curious how much time you have invested to get that level of build quality.
Thanks,
John

 

Hello Alex,
A new member to the SL-C group here. Like all the rest of the comments to your SL-C it's beautiful. No matter how long it has taken to get it to where you have it was well worth it.

That really is great looking.

Is that the deluxe interior package with all the optional panels?

 

[Allan]

Right now I'm 227 hours into the build, not much left to do except look at it and of course drive it!

I did get interior panels, but not all of the them. I didn't order the inner door panels or the kick panels.

 

[Mark]

Stunning and a beautiful color choice!

 

[Vaughn]

Allan--Doesn't get any better than that. Absolutely stunning!

 

[Jonathan Strain]

Your seats look like Factory Five GTM seats. Did you buy them off of a GTM builder or did you find the same source that Factory Five uses?

Hey Allan....I'd like to come by in the next few weeks. Have not seen you in a while and I need my fix! I am amazed at the quality and speed at which you finished the SL-C. In the end, I think after I go for a ride I will forget about the other "kit" that I wanted. The quality of the SLC from what I have seen is much better. Will call you during the week. Congrats! Is it registered yet? The paint looks amazing and I cannot believe you could do that with the system that you used! I am sold pal....and I know who my builder will be.
