I am starting this thread "in medias res" with the car as it is today.
Then I will post a confusing mix of past and present, showing the project updates and process. Promise to nerd out on the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) .  |

The GT oil system is of course a challenge.
 These are 3 vital components that are really difficult to come by/expensive Luckily this is old school technology and possible to reverse engineer and replicate. At least the thermostate and oil pressure relief valve. Casting the oil filter bracket is a bit trickier, and most of them are magnesium also..  Thermostate housing 3D-model  OPR-valve 3D model (cast part)  3D-model of opr-assembly  Plugs (is it called that..?) for sand casting (I have a guy who is going to do the metal casting). Work in progress, very exciting |
