QUOTE(echocanyons @ May 19 2020, 08:06 AM)  A huge thanks to Eric and Sam and the team at PMB for making this happen. Thanks also for all of the kind words about the car! As far as the question with the fiberglass hood and stock latch mechanism. I drove it at high speeds through heavy winds and had zero issues, of course the fitment on this is everything, I can imagine if the hood did not fit well it could catch some air and have an issue. It’s was a great adventure to drive this thing 1500 miles across the Southwest. I highly recommend a long drive in these cars. Wow! Beautiful Car! If that first picture was a poster, I would definitely buy one! |

The Getty lids I have - which are fantastic - can be seen visibly flexing on the track at-speed. Other drivers have even commented about it.

QUOTE(JmuRiz @ May 18 2020, 07:47 PM) QUOTE(gereed75 @ May 17 2020, 06:26 AM) Very nice Eric! I also think that this front oil cooler ducting is absolutely the most elegant, best looking, best executed and functional method out there. Very “factory” looking (assuming you have no desire to replicate the quick and dirty factory GT race car method) Bravo! Gonna do a kit? 100% agree, I was going to do a rear cooler in my conversion but I'd do this one in a flash if it were a kit at a reasonable price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) We do have a kit for the GT hood prop. Those are $379.00 We will not have a kit for McMarks oil cooler setup. This unit has gone through some changes over the years and, is "extremely" expensive to build out properly. It is a true work of art and a key defining feature of this build. I still get goosebumps when I peel back that trunk board. It originally had a small Setrab cooler installed that was being taxed by the 3.2 twin plug motor. It also had four fans in the exits which actually impeded the hot air escape a little. Our latest rendition tried to stay true to Marks masterpiece while adding a larger cooler and improving the flow. Please don't do a rear cooler. Thanks for all of the comments. Kelly, those pictures are epic 914 gold! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
