Thanks guys! I am really enjoying this build!
As for a meet up... I am okay with that anytime! Maybe we could plan a BBQ in the spring or summer. I know a few in the area that are on here such as Bigkensteel and a couple others that would probably want to get together. Let me know. Thomas |

I can think of 4 or 5 off the top of my head here in Cinci, a couple in Louisville and a couple more in IN. We should throw something together for Spring. |

Like what you have done!
Thanks for your pictures and posts. I would like to see which part numbers you chose for the brakes, I saw where you offered to post them but I missed it if you did already. |

This is the link http://wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperProd.as...temno=120-11578 They fit well on 911 boge struts. I also have yet to relocate the rear swing arm ears formthe rear calipers. |

QUOTE(tscrihfield @ Oct 3 2011, 01:38 PM) Anyway so to follow up the work done on Saturday, Sunday I worked on a friends pickup truck and then test fitted the new bumper, needs minor fitting to look correct but its okay for a test fit. I like the look of the foglight-less bumper, has a clean look. And then to top off everything else, Today I had a christmas moment when I arrived home! Oh I cant wait to start on this install! Hydraulic clutch kit, tandem remote resevoir master cylinder, pedals and calipers (2 more not photo'd). Looks like I'll be busy for the next few weeks eh? Let me know if anyone is interested in Wilwood P/N's for brake parts. I had to do a lot of measuring to find the ones I wanted. Just in case you want to save some time and benchmark, Im not stingy! I'll share info! Cheers! Thomas Hi Thomas, I'd like the part #s for the Calipers and the Pads. Also, if you could post details on how you are mounting the Pedals and master cylinders for the Brake and Clutch? I'm also interested in how your mounting the Slave for the clutch? have you thought of a Tilton Annular Slave Cylinder? Great work BTW. Wish I had your welding and fab skills Frank |

You gonna tow it with the Suby? Putnam is July 13th - 15th It will be a great event to attend. Especially due to a race in the same weekend. So you can watch a couple races and get a DE in. BTW you can come by anytime to check out the car. Thomas |

Wish I had your welding and fab skills Frank Frank, that is no problem. The Part number for the Calipers is 120-11572 and the pads are 150-8946K. As far as the pedals and clutch slave cylinder. I have yet to mount them, but know how I want to mount them. The slave is a pull style Slave and it will pull the existing fork just fine, it will have a bracket that mounts to the diff housing bolts on the gearbox case. As for the pedals I plan to mount them where the existing pedals mount just with a plate that mounts to the floor for a more ridgid setup. I am very close to mounting them though so do stay tune for future episodes. As for the fab skills, I have Dad and Bob Bennett to thank. They taught me everything I know. Dad started on me when I was about 5 building Go karts and anything else we wanted to make. Just was born into a lucky situation. Thanks though. It is always good to know people like what they see!

Apparently the race car weighs 1600(I have my doubts) but avoiding a Trailer should keep the wear and tear down. I still need an accu-sump though. Keep up your good work! |

Wow, I didn't know they made pull slave cylinders like that. Do you have that part # as well.
I'd like to modify my clutch in the same way but keep the Gas and brake. Seems that would be easier as the clutch peddle is at such an angle you could just cut it and mount your new peddle but replacing both would keep everything looking clean. |

The Part number is for the entire kit which is slave cyl. clutch pedal and master cylinder. It is 340-1469. |

Working in the garage the past few weekends, but unfortunately on others cars... I did get a chance to work on the teener today though.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1327979127.1.jpg) Finished the rear of the long. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1327979127.2.jpg) Started digging a little further into Hell. Funny how it feels that way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1327979127.3.jpg) Fitting.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1327979127.4.jpg) Done. Time for a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) then off to bed... |

Well, it feels like a century since my last post. Car is still here... Just not finished of course.
My objective this year was to try to get more work done than post and I'm afraid I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped for. none the less... Here's for what I've done since February. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348107611.1.jpg) Floor put together.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348107611.2.jpg) Tacked in place... Later welded.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348107611.3.jpg) Figured out how to mount my pedals.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348107612.4.jpg) Started this strange thing... What the heck is it? |

Starting to look like something... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348108026.2.jpg) Starting to look like nothing again... Hahaha (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348108026.3.jpg) Laid some full beads and sealed up... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348108026.4.jpg) Tacked forward tubes on... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i163.photobucket.com-12156-1348108026.5.jpg) Mounted! Can't wait to here how she sounds.... Maybe this weekend? Thanks for watching! I will try to get to more and other things I am working on soon. Thomas |

So my A.D.D. Has officially taken over. I have been jumping all over the place with this project. Any who this is the video of the shifter tower that I've made. I figured since I'm not going to put the tunnel back in, I could make the cable shifter now. I have to order the cables now, so itll be a few weeks before I get back to this portion of the build. Anyone know a good source for push pull cables or is Mcmaster Carr my only choice? |
