Kuda progress

[Beck]

Hey Scott,
I used a Lokar handle and cables.

Slowly coming together...



Had to make room for the overkill headers. I found TIG welding alloy to be a lot trickier than steel!
It didn't turn out too bad though.

I'm planning for it to be quite a bit lower than this though.

Do you have drop spindles?  If not, you will probably find that the lower control arm is bottomed out before getting it as low as you like.

Spindles look to be the Magnumforce dropped spindles?

Hi Aaron

Your tear down and progress is looking amazing buddy.............

Your engine looks like a sculpture and is displayed as art Very nice, i will be watching this build buddy.

Not much happening lately, been waiting on parts and been overseas.


Did up the garage so I can finish the car there. Weta is too busy with orcs and robots to fit the car in.


Been working on getting the motor ready for first run/break-in. Made an exhaust system so I don't void the warranty on the muy caro TTI headers.
The engine is complete now, just needs final assembly of the valve train and intake.

[hemiken]

Tidy little work space you have there Aaron, nice

Engine looks like it is ready to take off on its own with the exhaust looking the way it does

[William H Meister]

Nice work ...When you get to the rear window channel corners I would like to see how you fix them. I'm sure they are rusty like mine. I have been stalled on this for a while.

Thanks
Bill

Here's some of the latest work:


Mocking up the steering column, steering wheel, pedals, seats etc to work out the seat brackets and steering quickener.


Figuring out the mount for the quickener.


Once I'd worked out the design I plasma cut it out of 3mm steel.


Here's the finished result.


Bolted in place with the 1.5:1 steering quickener.




Fabricated an alloy shroud for the fans, and just starting the wiring for the run stand.
