Your attention to detail and execution of mods never ceases to amaze me, Mike. My jaw is on the ground.

No one wants to see this bad boy on the ground more than I do!

thank you thank you

Some updates from this weekend.

I Placed the roll bar back in the car, and got a quick preview of the Gears lip...





My passenger seat arrived on thursday So I spent the rest of the day fabricating the seat mounts and notching the seat to fit the tunnel. I ordered a size Large for this side to not have to notch the tunnel. It turns out I could have fit in this seat okay, though I am more comfortable in the XL.



HT on...



I am going to lean the passenger side back one notch as well to have it sit lower and match the driver a bit better.


Sunday was on to the business of painting the suspension arms and Gears lip...

Here they are after the wire wheel acid and parts cleaner wash...




Each bushing bore was masked to keep the ID the same dimension allowing for a smoother bushing install.


I laid 2 coats of primer then 3 coats of single stage black




Next was the lip. I laid primer then the silver...


then of course clear...




then let it all sit and wait to dry...


Looking good this morning




Oil pan baffle is getting welded today and I will start work on pressing the bushing in this week.

getting closer and closer to assembly!

I'm not fancy enough for that...





So after quite a lengthy delay from trackforged I got my oil pan baffle in.


I had SHG EasyE over and he laid some beads

Did you start with a brand new pan?

SHG_Mike

Nope, thoroughly cleaned with solvent and then torched for 10-15 mins. Have used this method on 2-3 race cars with zero issues.
