That engine is freaking sweeeeeeeeeeet. Should haul some major ass for sure!!! I'd like to possibly do some sort of EFI system.

Question for yah. I notice you have the main hoop for a rollbar inside your car. Are you caging the whole thing? I've been playing with the idea of caging mine. Just curious as to what you did.

Mark Stielow built that 4 point roll bar when he built the car; I'm leaving it as-is.

Does your painter guy shoot other peoples cars? I'd be willing to drive it 30 mins down to him for results like that. PM info if you could.

camcojb · Feb 29, 2008

pm sent.

Looks great!!! I can't wait to see it in person on PT this year.

What paint did you use on the firewall area. Looks good

Also the car is begging for the 10 spokes from the other thread.

if you look at the pics you can see where he cut and sectioned the area around the tire, moving it in a couple inches or so, then boxed all the areas in. He had to re-locate the body mount area to line up with the factory mount on the body. The body mount on the body is stock location (I think), he just moved it on the frame to match after sectioning.

Looks like the lower control arms were also moved inward...

I was debating just a notch and maybe filling it in with thicker guage material...

I love everything about the car :thumbsup:

Jody, did you have to run spacers to clear the front calipers? I had to use 1/2" thick ones with a similar set up.

It took a 1/8" spacer with the b-car spindle, but the ATS spindle clears with identical calipers.

working on the glass and ElectricLife windows this weekend. Took a bit of time to get the stuff figured out as the car has been apart for a long time, and I completely gutted the glass and mechanisms.

Started by using B-Quiet on the inside of the door skins. What a huge difference in the sound of the metal when tapping on it now. Sounds like a late-model car compared to a tin can.

Then I took a couple shots of the side view of the car as it progresses. The vent windows and rear glass is in on both sides, heading out to install the final two door windows now. The color and wheels are really growing on me, may not need to spend a bunch of cash on modern wheels!

got it from Frank at GP Superstore, he's a forum vendor here on the site. It is factory tint, slightly green. I thought I ordered smoked, but this looks fine.

looked like a black stripe back there at first glance.
