Good things come to those who wait

Any updates?

I have a question. Say you were to use a dry sump and were able to mount the engine lower would this allow you to not have to make the gearbox tunnel so big? Or does it have to be in that position so you don't end up with an angle on the tail shaft?

[Simon89]

What motor mounts did you use?

Update: October 31, 2013

 

Well I haven't been on here in a while, of course I've been busy. The car is of course still in paint, It's going on almost 2 years now. The latest update is that they had it in the paint booth and notice that the sheetmetal had warped from the car being turn on the rotisserie, so they took it off and put it on a frame cart, and are basically re-doing a majority of the body work. We did have the suspension parts powder coated and got the hubs painted and put back together with spherical bearings to replace all the old rubber crap. It's going to ride like a race car but it will not have the mushiness that it used to.

top notch!

Looking very nice.  Where did you source the spherical bearings for the rear control arms from?

[electron_si]

All the suspension parts came from Ermish racing.

Back from the dead. We are currently trying to get the car out of paint after almost 3 years. The body shop,pushed it back into a corner and stopped working on it. We were busy and didnt have time to constantly put pressure on the owner to finish it. The car now just needs paint, its sitting in final primer waiting for the booth. Here are some pics from the body shop and before it went in.

I forgot about this thread.  Was excited when I remembered what it was.  Hopefully it won't be another three years till you get it on the road!  :thumbup:
