Well, I am on a deadline now with the first kid showing up this summer but I am finally starting to make some progress. I got all my parts back from the powdercoaters and the platers (gold zinc) as well as a set of Mueller's rollerbearings and I started the transmission assembly. Check out the pics:
915 Transmission Rebuild (Thanks Hayden @ WEVO). I am also getting a one piece bearing retainer, WEVO gate-shift, and 1st gear assymetrical update:
Here are all the gold zinc plated parts:
I have been waiting for a good day to take some pictures of the powdercoated parts in the sun, but it has been overcast. The color is called steel grey metallic and has a clear coat on it:
I also installed a set of Mueller's rollerbearings. Only need a little phone support from Mike (Thanks Mike )
Here are the rear control arms with the bearings installed (don't tell the wife I had them in the oven). I also installed the mono-balls from Smart Racing and starting putting the e-brake assembly back together:
How is this for the ultimate pedal assembly? Bronze bushings, powdercoated, and zinc plated. Looks awesome:
Here is the money shot, I think the color looks awesome:
Next steps:
1. Install the suspension.
2. Plumb up the brakes.
3. Finish the turbo piping
4. Get it together!!
