it's back on the ground and has been driven
yahoo
as you can see, there is some assembly left to do
the sway bar doesn't hit - this is a temp job to make sure it's right - if it is, I'll build a UHMW bushing to keep them apart, and probably do heim joints as soon as I have a spare moment.... for some reason I just want to get this thing painted and get back on the Spider. I can do the fiddly things later (stereo, interior finish, etc)
oh, and the temp gauge now works

the nose was too high, so I cut another 1/2 coil off and got the car to where I want it
also have plenty of room before the bump stops engage
I finished wiring the fans, and sanded on the car for awhile... and fixed on the diesel... good day, though it was pretty warm for awhile there - 90 degreesDoing it all wrong since 1966

agreed, but Cobra style, not dico style.....4" black tubes would look bad freakin' ass.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

Does he also offer gold chains, toupees, and artificial chest hair? How about first aid kits or scar cream for calf burn?
too easy a target... and I can't count how many girls I know with scars from this or motorcycle pipes. I wouldn't let them ride my junk without long pants, but I missed out on a lot of "stuff" as a result I guess. Hmmmm.
Re: area v. velocity v. shape - This isn't the header exit, it's quite a bit back from there. Hasn't it slowed way the hell down by then?Last edited by Beagle; August 6, 2012, 06:54 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

yes, and cooled (meaning it takes less space).... but don't tell them in the tech section
I got the car back today from alignment - then took it for a..ummm... spirited ride on "my" road - this car is an awful lot of fun
As for the pipe/leg singing, my wife has told me in no uncertain terms that she will "not ride in that ugly car".... should I tell her the reason guys like the shape of Corvettes, Camaros, and Mustangs is they are modeled after the shape of a shapely woman?
if anyone needs to take those triangle tabs off the car - 11/16 5 point socket is your friend
time to start the painting process - my goal (ambitious) is paint Sunday.... let's see, sand car, fix fiberglass, pull apart, build paint booth.... oh yeah ambitious

Jesus, you're like a colony of ants: blink twice, and a shit-ton of work has been done. I've only now just got around to bending the wheelwell away from rubbing the rear tire...Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!
