Title: 62 TYPE1 - Will soon see daylight... :-) Post by: ACSwede/DBR on May 19, 2009, 13:17:42 pm Before sharing my ongoing project I'd like to TAKE MY HAT OFF and THANK everyone contributing and making this the greatest Cal Look resource on the web - Thank you! Unfortunately, I have to confess to the fact that I'm more of lurker on here - shame on me ;D!...Nonetheless, countless threads here on the Lounge have answered many of questions and INSPIRED me! SIMPLY AWESOME!
Current/ongoing project (T1, 1962): Basic engine specs: - AS41 - DPR 82mm crank - Scat H-beam race rods 5.3" - FK8 - Cima/mahle 94mm - GB 30mm oil pump/GB cover - Heads by Jeff Denham (casting is CB's 044 CNC Ultra Wedgeports, 44x37.5) - DRLA 48s - CR 9:5 - GB sump Tranny Rancho ProComp The car is basically untouched body wise - "battlescars" from being driven by an old lady for 45 years left as is - i.e. NO show but decent GO ;D "Cock pit" is very simple/clean/stock - tach, pressure, temp, cht, GB locking shifter, repro GT wheel and Speedwell bucket seats. Will be rolling on repro BRMs. Engine mounted yesterday (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/ACSwede/VW%20General/enginemounted-1.jpg) Fuel supply via an HP125 (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/ACSwede/VW%20General/fuelpump.jpg) "Cock pit" (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/ACSwede/VW%20General/cockpit.jpg) Deck lid (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/ACSwede/VW%20General/aronsondecklid.jpg) Again - Thank you all for making the lounge the greatest place!
