Title: It's Finally done! Post by: Chris W on May 21, 2011, 17:03:43 pm Finished my pan this weekend. A few small details left, but it's close enough to call done.
Started like this- (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/S1e1OQe6GKI/AAAAAAAAJVo/dziL6ZOwpYA/s640/P1120531.JPG) (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdffuDCROCI/AAAAAAAANDM/WT5Bb1wOqi0/s640/IMG_9688.JPG) (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdffuoWIySI/AAAAAAAANDU/dwG0s-mewZ4/s640/IMG_9679.JPG) (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdffvFArRTI/AAAAAAAANDY/7dp5tOs0Tdw/s640/IMG_9678.JPG) (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/Tdffv1HDx0I/AAAAAAAANDg/QnG7Ct10dKk/s640/IMG_9671.JPG) (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdffwRmUPiI/AAAAAAAANDs/iQuq-uUFhco/s640/IMG_9668.JPG) (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdfftaGxavI/AAAAAAAANDE/sy8Ak0jG6g4/s640/IMG_9698.JPG) (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/Tdffw39smWI/AAAAAAAANDw/1WLIewnGOnE/s640/IMG_9665.JPG) (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/TdffxET4g5I/AAAAAAAAND0/RvyQpChHTss/s640/IMG_9663.jpg) Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Torben Alstrup on May 21, 2011, 17:09:34 pm Nice finish :)
One Q though: It looks like youre planning on more than 50 hp in the rear. Why then rely on mediocre shocks ??? T Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Lanny Hussey on May 21, 2011, 17:30:08 pm Nice job Chris. Those rears appear to be GR 2's which are fine unless you are taking the car to the strip often. I did dozens of 1.6-1.7 60 fts with stock Boge's. ;) I would put proper bolts on the wheel cylinders though. Whats the plan for the shell?
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Chris W on May 21, 2011, 17:51:20 pm I had the GR2's so I used them. It's a street car 100% not much interest in going racing so I think they will be fine. After I figure out ride hight I may do a set of Koni's.
The shell is staying the same as the time you saw it in Canada. I need to get Gary to finish out the interior and then call it done. It's going to be my summer daily driver. Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Torben Alstrup on May 21, 2011, 18:16:14 pm Fair enough.
- Red Koni´s are superior on a street car. T Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: jonathan on May 21, 2011, 19:58:16 pm Nice work!
I've always thought this car looked perfect,nothing too out of the ordinary but just sooo right. Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: danny gabbard on May 21, 2011, 20:18:49 pm Very ! Nice progress, Ya should be proud !
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Stephen schmidt on May 21, 2011, 20:41:08 pm Great Job Chris!
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Pas on May 21, 2011, 21:27:47 pm That looks Killer Chris, good job.
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Black Sheep on May 22, 2011, 01:13:59 am Clean and very cool 8) nice work 8)
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Geoff P DVKK on May 22, 2011, 01:15:26 am That looks great! Any chance you'll be up for the great Canadian show again?
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Chris W on May 22, 2011, 02:48:05 am Thanks for the complements guys,
Geoff, no GCVWS this year for me just not in the cards. I would like to get the car dialed and drive up there late September, we will see. Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: qubek on May 22, 2011, 11:59:46 am Fair enough. - Red Koni´s are superior on a street car. T Could you please elaborate your opinion? I actually use both types, on two cars, but as their configuration is different, it's hard for me to compare them. Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Zach Gomulka on May 22, 2011, 15:09:53 pm Switching from GR-2's to Koni's in the front of my car made a world of difference. I now run them all the way round, I love how they feel compared to a gas shock.
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Rennsurfer on May 22, 2011, 19:47:15 pm Not a big fan of Gasburners... but yours are the rare exception. They look perfect on your car, Chris. That's the best looking finish for those, methinks.
Congrats on your car... it's really nice. Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: speedwell on May 22, 2011, 19:59:08 pm Not a big fan of Gasburners... but yours are the rare exception.

Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: dyno don on May 24, 2011, 20:00:11 pm >>>OUTSTANDING....!!!!
Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Diederick/DVK on May 25, 2011, 11:57:18 am awesome, my cup of tea all the way!
is that a bus master cylinder you're using? and how did you fab the tunnel inspection plate? did you open it up for a smaller cavity and then tap for the allen bolts? Title: Re: It's Finally done! Post by: Chris W on May 25, 2011, 17:15:19 pm It is a bus master cylinder and you are right about the cover.
