That other guy named Ed and DVs CRII build

A comment about the door latch cutout scribe lines.
Based upon my single experience: No not trust the scribe lines without doing some confirming before cutting. I cut as marked and found out the passenger's door scribe lines were TOO LOW. Threw off lots of things. Especially the steel bracket/brace that supports the latch from the frame. The two holes were no where close to lining up properly. Had to lower the door latch striker pin ¾". If I had a "do over", I'd mount the steel bracket, transfer the location holes on the bracket for the latch to the fiberglass and work from those points of reference.
I got lucky on the driver's door side. Holes lined up just fine. What a bunch of grief!

Hey DV!

You've been kinda quite on the forum the last day or so. Everything OK?

I should be at your place tomorrow around noon, your time. I talked with my rat rod guy and the lower rear arms will not be ready till around Wednesday I'll get them to the coaters ASAP and have him overnight them to you. I know this is really holding things up.

One thing I wanted to run by you before tomorrow, is...

We should be OK sticking a C6 tranny in this thing, right? I remember when I talked to Don we had discussed a C4. Is there going to be any size problems with the tranny tunnel or the firewall with a C6?

Cheers,

Ed

I look at all these pictures, and read all these details and all I can say is Thank God I bought my car already finished!!!!!!!

All I had to do was beef up the power output and the drive train to where I wanted it to be. If I had to build the whole thing, I woulda went nutz. I have the attention span of a three year old!!!
