Making templets to support the rear wing mount. You know I just like saying the names of the stuff that I am working on just because nobody else can. Like, Cold Air Intake. The Front Wing. I'm sorry but that stuff just sounds bitchen to me. Nobody else has either of those.
Excuse me and now I'll go back to the work I am about to do. The support is to tie the drip rail to the inner fender well and needs to go far enough forward to pickup the engine grill support. It's in the way of the plenum and would block some airflow. I have laid out some lines for the plenum on the fire walls and the inner fender well to see where the bottom of the plenum will set so I can see what needs to be moved. The passenger side is pretty clean but I'll have to move the breather and the crankcase vent hose on the driver's side but think it will be good with just a little plumbing. Does anyone know how much the engine rocks side to side. I believe that I need to have something flexible in the bottom of the plenum around the base of the carbs. I was thinking that it would move the most during down shifts into 2nd.  |

Re: flexible sealing around the plenum - you'll definitely want to do that. I haven't measured engine movement, but do have some pretty close clearances in a couple places. I think I have 1/4" or so clearance between my air scoop (attached to the engine in my case) and the rollbar. They never hit, so I guess that's enough.
You could probably use a rubber garage door seal to seal the airbox to the plenum. It would seal decently well and have some give to it. |

Thanks Scott, I was thinking about making up a seal but was worried about how much it would have to travel. What I am thinking of will cover more than a half an inch.

Another picture, I just finished cleaning up the base brackets and it all looks good.

With quick release pins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Rest in Peace Carl.
 I really like the Quick Release pins, sure makes it easy to get the Wing on and off. For more access I can pull the front pins and tilt it backwards and lay it down in the rain gutter when the trunk lid is off. Oh my, 18,000 Views... |

I must apologize as I have not been able to spend much time in the shop lately. Not that I am unmotivated or lazy. It's just been too Falcon hot. I can only spend a few minutes out there before I start raining sweat. So occasionally I do use the shop for small repairs that need immediate attention. It is cooling off now as it hasn't been over 95 in 3 weeks. Next summer I will have 2 shops and they both will be climate controlled.
I am currently in ecstacy as Team NARP Headquarters is in escrow. Funny, ecstacy and escrow seem to go together so well. There is going to be enough money around to finish AR off nicely. Even the Outlaws need to have a nice finish if they be representing. More work and pictures to come soon. I'm sure that the pics are more entertaining than my drivel. |

Well I really need to apologise to everyone that stoplped by in a while. It's been a long time since I have been able to spend some time with the car. The weather is cooling down and I feel that I am able to get back to work on the car. I bought a new welder and it should clean up my act as far as welding goes.
I am thinking that I would like to lose weight and improve the suspension, but for now I am going to have to learn the new welder.  Tig, Mig, Arc and a Spoolgun. |

1:30 am, I just got out of the garage and I'm drenched, it still to hot to get any real work done. Trying to setup the new welder but I got it on the cart. I want to weld up the seams and rivets ion the intake scoops and and tack the targa bar fairing caps in place.

Pictures not wanting to post.
 Need to mod the cart, I'm going to need 2 bottles of gas on here as I want be able to switch from aluminum to steel without changing bottles. I could just hook up a bottle cause the welder dose change gas automatically but then I would have a bottle just standing there unsecured. |

Picked up a pickup truck for a driver and towing the car trailer. A nice Chevy Silverado 2500HD with under 120K, of course it is a Duramax. I have been driving junk so long I was afraid to go more than 15 miles from home. Watch out I just might make a Taco Tuesday. That's on my bucket list.

Trying to make room in the garage for the GT4 and AR decided not to cooperate. Had to order a new fuel pump and it probably won't be here till Saturday. Looking at a new trailer for AR so she will have covered space.
I really want to A/X so it looks like it will be in the GT4, I think that there is one in Lake County on the 5th but not sure, I will check it out tomorrow. Twenty thousand views, I really think I need to pay more attention to the AR. |

New fuel pump came in today and I installed it but I didn't check it yet. If I get home and find that it works she is coming out of the garage.

She is blowing a circuit breaker so I'm relocating the power lead to the fuel pump. I'm going to take the power from the battery positive terminal and use an inline fuse. I believe I still will have to much current being drawn from a circuit somewhere but if it stops blowing the breaker l can look for that later.

It's not that I am not working on her it's just that I am not making any progress on what I am working on.
 I've had a loss of power to several systems and am hunting it down. May have a bad relay. Or I may not have done it correctly in the beginning. |

On to something I believe I can get some gratification on. The air cleaner is going away so I need to make up screens for the velocity stacks. I bought some sink strainers and wrapped them around the top and hammered them into shape. The hose clamp helped a lot to get the under side into shape.
 Wow, I just noticed that the screens have grain and that they are 2 sizes. |

Getting the pattern for the floor of the plenum ready to copy. I like the way it fits and there is plenty of room inside the box for the seal at the base of the air cleaner.

Cured some electrical problems today and now I think I can go forward with the work I wanted to do under the dash. Had to cut a slot in the box in order to remove the circuit board and look at the wires from the under side and I found what I was looking for. I had put too many circuits on a relay and it wasn't working. I ran 2 circuits to other supply points and I hope that takes care of the problem. Now I can look to see why the tach is not working.
