Lets see. Quite a few small things that make me happy. Here's a short list off the top of my head, in no particular order.
1. Screens on the front wheel wells kinda like those pictured above. That really helps keep the foot boxes cool.
2. Welded in a drive shaft safety loop.
3. Made a polished billit alum hosing for a gauge warning light and shift light LED under the mirror
4. Trying to keep the
oil at the proper temp has been a challange. On a cold day on the highway, it was tough to get it above 140* or so. But I need the cooler on the track. So I tapped directly into the pan and installed a seperate electric pump. When the
oil's hot I flip the switch and it cools off. On the street I leave, and it gets to normal operating temp regardless of air temp.
Here you can see the pump on the left frame rail
5. I used red powdercoat on polished aluminum to make "red chrome". Looks good on a lot of trim and enigine parts.
6. I have an 8 stack EFI system - 4 seperate throttle bodies. Like Webers, getting the throttle bodies balanced is a very delicate procedure. It has to be exactly right at all throttle levels, or it just doesn't feel right. I'v been struggeling with this issue for a while. At the moment, I'm completly re-engineering the linkage and throttle cable connections for greater accuracy. Not overly difficult, but tedious and time consuming.
7. I made a left foot rest out of angle iron, muffler clamp, and some rubber padding.
8. Fed my valve cover breathers through an air/
oil seprater, and down to a single tank. I had to make the connections for the valve covers, and make a bracket for the seperater tank.
9. Modified Cobra Earls dropped trunk kit to fit with IRS and a sway bar from VPM. That was actually pretty easy.
10. Remote mounted the oil pressure sender so it would be insulated from engine viobrations.
12. Built a diffuser plate for the hood scoop opening. That was actually worth about 6-8 mph on the top end.
13. Use SS mesh and plywood edge trim to make a screen cover for the radiater.
14. Made the brake and clutch pedals easily adjustable for height. I used an adjustable brake push rod, and made adjustable return stops for both.
That's about all I can think of at the moment.
