Nice build car looks awesome!
looks great man bet it well pin you back in the seat
Hows the build coming?
Still coming along, Jason is finishing up the last of the major fab work that I needed done and then its a lot of finish work from there. Don't think I can get it finished before winter with all I have going on but we'll see. Worse case it'll be ready early next spring.
look sweet.
Thanks for all the positive comments, appreciate it. :bigthumb
Nice!!! Cant wait to see this thing on the bumper lol
Thought I'd throw a quick pic up with it sitting on all 4 wheels. Finally off the jack stands and on its own suspension. :bigthumb Actual progress pics will follow fairly soon. Sorry about it not being a pic in the sun but it's all I have right now. :rolleyes:

That thing looks fantastic, congrats Greg.
It looks intimidating just sitting there.
Wow, that looks awesome Greg!!!!!
Damn that looks mean!
That's bad ass!
Very Nice! :bigthumb
Such an awesome stance. What wheel/tire combo do you have out back?
Looks great!!!
Looks killer bud!
Thanks for the compliments everyone. :bigthumb Very much appreciated. Really helps in the motivation department. :rockon:
One of my goals is to have people who don't typically like Fox GTs, actually like this one. :lol:
Thanks. They are 15x12 MT ET Drag wheels with 7.5 backspace, and 325/50 MT drag radials. The 12" rim really stretches that tire.Quote:

Im not a big gt fan either and I think it looks killer. Makes me wanna mini tub my car
That thing would look better under a tarp in the back yard. I will compliment you at a later date, just not feeling it today.
Killer looking car and an awesome build! :bigthumb
car looks awesome Greg
The car looks absolutely freakin' killer Greg!! :bigthumb
Peace :cool2:

Thanks for the compliments. Should have some more progress pics up in a few weeks. :)
Looks great Greg, I saw it at Jason's and it was looking better each time I saw it. He got it straightened out and looking killer. Any updates lately?
Thanks Mike, no big updates right now, had to make some room in the garage first. Should have some real updates in 3-4 weeks.Quote:

Well, got the holidays out of the way and my garage back in order so I'm finally getting some work done again. Going to start this phase by getting the brakes done and then who knows from there.
A few of the pieces I have going in:
Racecraft manual conversion

Skinny Kid brake line kit
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...d%20GT/049.jpg
Maximum Motorsports manual brake pedal kit
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...MBAK-11_LG.jpg
Ran into a potential problem when putting the master cylinder in. I bought the Racecraft kit because they make the smallest adapter that I know of and the master cylinder sits REAL close to the header. Need to figure out something about it, I'm not liking how close it is. I have a different master cylinder that gives me almost 1/2" more clearance but I really want to use the Strange master. Even with the 1/2" more clearance it's still too close IMO. Nothing is ever easy with these things.
:bangwall: :drunk:

That will self clearance.
Figure I'll throw up a few before and afters of the rear hatch area etc.:

So is that gonna make it out in 2012 Greg?
Brake fluid is subjected to very high temperatures, especially in the wheel cylinders of drum brakes and disk brake calipers. It must have a high boiling point to avoid vaporizing in the lines. This vaporization is a problem because vapor is compressible and negates hydraulic fluid transfer of braking force.
Quality standards refer to a brake fluid's "dry" and "wet" boiling points. Wet boiling point, which is usually much lower (although above most normal service temperatures), refers to the fluid's boiling point after absorbing a certain amount of moisture. This is several (single digit) percent, varying from formulation to formulation. Glycol-ether/dot three/dot four/dot five point one brake fluids are hygroscopic (water absorbing), which means they absorb moisture from the atmosphere under normal humidity levels. Non-hygroscopic fluids (e.g. silicone/DOT 5-based formulations), are hydrophobic, and can maintain an acceptable boiling point over the fluid's service life, although at the cost of potential phase separation/water pooling and freezing/boiling in the system over time - the main reason single phase hygroscopic fluids are used.
Boiling points for common braking fluids [1]
..........Dry boiling point ... Wet boiling point
DOT 3 .. 205 °C (401 °F) ... 140 °C (284 °F)
DOT 4 .. 230 °C (446 °F) ... 155 °C (311 °F)
DOT 5 .. 260 °C (500 °F) ... 180 °C (356 °F)
DOT 5.1 .. 270 °C (518 °F) ... 190 °C (374 °F)
