Freq, yes, I know its a big project. I've been building projects like this for 25 years, so I'm used to it.. Over the past 18 years, I had a team of guys working in my shop doing 6 of these a year. Now I'm trying to find someone with the experience and drive to finish this one. If I cant find anyone in the North East, I'll end up shipping everything to Ca. and spending a few weeks out there helping to work on it. I really don't have time for that, so that's why I'm on here asking. If you know of anyone, please chime in. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Whoa! Nice to see you got a new OEM cabin filter.
Good luck with this, would love to see the “after” pics
Well, we were working in the rain tray, welding up holes and rerouting wires, and thought " hmm... I should get a new filter, so the AC doesn't smell like wet dog."
here is another picture that didn't upload with the others Filler plates welded in place and fuse box installed flush on pass. side. All welded seams are filled with a high temp industrial grade aluminum filler which wont expand and contract due to surface temperature changes in the metal. This way the paint wont crack over time. All of the harnesses are already routed to the location they need to be in. The wiring is my specialty, so I can help finish up that part. I just don't have enough time available to do the entire build myself.
I hope there's a new valve cover in there someplace.
....and good luck. I wish I had the time and energy to tackle something like this.
I'll just blast the original cover and powder coat it. I have the facility and equipment available to easily do that. It was supposed to get done while Comptech was building the engine, but our schedule didn't line up with theirs, so I left it for last. Honestly, I wouldn't mind leaving it looking so bad when the car is finished. The reactions I would get when opening the hood would make me laugh!
Not sure if @Back S2k is still around. David rebuilt my first s after I totaled it, and brought it back to life. He did a great job with it and made me want to buy it back.
