Kwik92GT's How NOT to build a Project Car Thread

[Kwik92GT]

Glenn's tank and rear suspension pics. Before you guys kill me on the rust and such, it is all getting painted, coated, or whatever it takes to get right. Makes me crazy even knowing it looks like this.









That should about do it for now with updates and pics. I'll be posting more soon as I get things done.

Make a simple heat shield out of some sheet metal for the m/c.

Looks wicked Greg!, as you already know that's some top notch quality work you've just posted up!



Peace

Thanks James.

[Kwik92GT]

So is that gonna make it out in 2012 Greg?

That's the plan, but of course that's been the plan the past few years. I'm working again and have weekends now to get things done so hopefully it'll happen.

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)

Looks like I'm in trouble.

That's actually the direction I think I'm heading in Jeff. I thought maybe covering the shield with some type of heat reflecting coating or something of the sort. With the headers getting ceramic coated and having a coated shield or something of the sort, I'm hoping I can keep things under control.

a starter heat blanket wrapped around it may work too. idk how it would look or if you care?

Get those stick on wheel weights off your wheels before taking that thing to the track. Those pretty much turn into bullets when they fly off during some high gear burnouts. Your pit crew will not be happy catching a few of those to the shin, lol. Car looks great Greg!!!

Will look into something like that too. Really would rather not have it look like ass, lol, but I need something that will work

Pit crew? I ain't a "baller" like you Rob, I don't have a crew. I usually duct tape over the top of the weights, never had a problem in the past doing it that way. I just haven't gotten around to it yet with these.

That is sooooooo embarrassing! How in the world could you let it look like that?

I know, right.

Minor update. Most of the stuff I'm working on right now isn't really photo worthy but I have been able to keep the ball rolling. Throwing up a couple of pics of the brake lines I bent up just to have something to post.

I've started getting the fuel system put together and I'll post progress pics of that as I get further into it.
