Finally, an update!
Looking good. Love the molded in hood louvers. Good to hear from you, hope things are going well. |
Thanks Dallas. Car should be here by the 27th. Very excited
|
The car has finally arrived! It was picked up from Mr. Bruce's house Oct 14 and delivered Nov 2. I have a lot of work ahead of me. More of a journey.
Here it is sitting comfortably in my garage while I inventory everything. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psb65b585f.jpg Until I get my motor mounts which are needed to install my plastic engine to mockup my exhaust system, I began removing unneeded pieces on the frame from FFR. These include roll bar stubs, remnants from pieces removed by Bruce, and the 4" round front cross member |
I was tired after a full day of grinding and sanding so decided to play with some red tape I had laying about

Finished making the trunk templates. Time to buy a HF sheet metal brake and make some aluminum panels
Update: I made my own sheetmetal brake 37" wide and began making my aluminum panels. Nothing from FFR is usable. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psd1387e5b.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psc0dc3085.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psf01213c9.jpg |
Looks good Bill.

Coming along nicely :)

Thanks 1985 CCX. Trying to source original style hood hinges and mounts since none came from Bruce. This has me backed against the wall as I have no idea what to do
|
Have you tried the Kirkhams? They seem to have a line on such things for their own cars. In my experience, they have been helpful to non-Kirkham owners.
|
Thanks Ron
|
I ordered sheets of .060 aluminum to start making the panels. Should keep me busy for awhile
|
Talked to Bruce and he is making me hinges. There was a miscommunication and he thought I was going to use the FFR hinges. His are much nicer and more original. Now just have to wait till they show up
