No offense to your old blue....but the new color is light years ahead of the previous one.
Outstanding!

LOVE the color that is a huge improvement. Question, what coating did you use in the wheel wells?

You should have done from the sail upwards and the roof white like the smurfs hats, then throw on white wheels like their shoes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks great!

Stuff called Raptor Liner. My fab shop guys have had good luck with it. It can be tinted to color match, but we get so much black rubber on the wheel wells we decided to keep it black.

i had considered using that for coating the floor pan of my car when we painted last year but he used something else, which IMHO didnt work out as well as Raptor. i may end up redoing the whole bottom at some point in the near future, or atleast the area under rear trunk.

I really like the 'body color' look when someone shows the underside of a car, or from the side and all...but...we need to draw a line with a race car on looks vs practicality. I am NOT one to clean wheel wells after a track weekend (or ever for that matter), so we chose black. Oddly, Huey - which is more street than race - has always had black wheel wells and underside. Not liner, just black paint, but still...

Car is looking great. Whose camber boxes are on the front? Modified Tangerine?

I have been considering picking up a set but want to keep the gasket so that I can use the stock fuel tank area as a trunk but the current Tangerine setup seems to disrupt the area.

I honestly don’t know who’s camber boxes...they were done nearly 15 years ago by the shop I was using at the time.

I'm really fond of the way the roll hoop and the A pillars are tied into the roll cage with dimple died sheet. Its nice too see the 914 dash still in there too.

Few progress pictures: these are from last Friday. Lots more was done over the weekend including work on the dash, all the oil lines, fuel lines and trans cooler pump and lines installed and tightened. But everything was a mess and I wasn’t going to clean it up to take pictures, and now it’s up on the lift with the GT3 under it and it was sleeting and freezing rain today, so it’ll have to wait until it clears up...

This picture is to illustrate the contrast from the original Olympic Blue to the current Labuan blue. We needed to fit the hood on to measure a few things with the cooler and fuel cell.

You just might, maybe almost have quite enough oil cooler capacity there....wow!
I like the burp line setup to eliminate air bubbles--ingenious....

Sure. I should be working on it tonight and this weekend and will take some current ones.
Here are a few old ones from years ago, but the set up is basically the same.

Yeah...Peter Dawe didn't like the old cooler set up we had, so.... and yes, the little air burp line is very smart. Horizontal coolers tend to only fill half way because the air gap at the top of the lines have no place to go.

Thanks for the pictures.

Is that the ERP setup? What does it use for "ball joints"?

Yes, ERP. No clue about the ball joints...but a good question.
Shocks are Fox with remote reservoirs.

Update from this weekend. Started on the electrical..We have no idea what we’re doing with that but figuring it out as we go!! Biggest change is a new Cartek electrical kill switch vs. the manual one. Very different system and we’re moving the battery (among other things) so everything electrical is different. Plus, going to have a full AiM MXL2 system so sorting that out with what sensors we need and how they run. Nadine made a new dash face out of carbon fiber, but we still need to cut holes for switches and such so its not installed yet. Plumbing is done, brakes are bled with new Carbotech brakes. Lots of little things done...not as much as we’d like but getting there...

Curious if you have any shots of the chassis tears? I have one that I need to take care of on my track car and was hoping to see how yours was repaired.
