Hey Richard
Been over a year since an update on this thread. Just wondering -- did you abandon the project or have you made progress?
Haha
Well, no, I haven't abandoned it, but I have been horrible about doing updates. A number of things (ranging from the death of my dad over a year ago to starting up the transmission repair business about a year ago) has gotten in the way. But I am back working on the car. I just need to update this thread. I also haven't updated my personal website either. I have been waiting to update it as I wanted to convert it to a new content management system. But that is no excuse for not listing updates here.
I will try to get something up in the next few weeks. I bought a newer larger media blasting cabinet awhile back for many reasons. One is to start cleaning transmissions, but I also have some other parts (such as suspension) that wouldn't fit into my older smaller cabinet. I also am about 90% done with welding in a new floor for the front truck area and just a few weeks ago welded on the replacement driver side front fender (the PO had backed his car into it and crumpled it a bit).
I also just bought a Caswell electroplating kit, so I am going to be re-plating a number of parts (including my front/rear calipers that are completely disassembled). I hope to have the platting tanks setup in the next few weeks. I probably will do some small amount of re-plating via Blue Sky Motorsports as well.
Along with getting the calipers and other misc braking parts plated and put back together, I will probably work on finishing up my 911 e-brake setup. My plan has been to use the 928 style cable pull along with the 911 e-brakes. This will require some custom cables, but will not require a bellcrank on the swing arm.
My new goal is to have all bodywork stuff addressed within the next 12 months.
