Arts and Crafts! lets sniff glue

SUP My names Steve, I'm 14 years old and The beginning of this threads gonna suck sorry. it's all from memory.

So. I bought a clean bone stock 1993 hatch back in august of 2012. It was auto transmission that could not select any gears. That was not a problem I planned on doing a 5 speed swap anyway.

(insert pick of car coming home on trailer)

Got home checked it out more It had 0 rust because the whole under side of the car was coated in transmission and motor oil. I was happy. First thing I did was gut the car. I do not like plastic interior bullshit, carpet, roof liner or any comfort features, this was going to be my race car. I traded a couple of interior pieces for some solid subframe bushings. Next converted the car to manual windows.

pulled the subframe and installed my solid bushings. Cleaned it up then painted it silver

(insert silver subframe pic here)

Since the diff was out of the car I went ahead and sent my diff out to PBM to get welded. Probably could have found someone local to weld it just as good for less but it's all good.

Re installed subframe.
Bought a trans, flywheel and clutch used. bought all new clutch master cylinder, steel braded line, and slave cylinder.

pulled the auto transmission from under the car while it was on jacks which was a horrible idea. I didn't realize how easy it was to pull a motor at the time and my dad didn't want me pulling it in the driveway. Probably spent more time trying to remove a couple bolts than it takes to pull a whole motor. I was pissed. I also tried to replace the oil pan gasket from under the car which took longer than pulling the motor and didn't even fix the oil leak. Got more pissed.

Got PBM to mod my knuckles

Pulled the motor a month later to install the transmission. it was my first time ever pulling a motor. I was over joyed at how easy it was.

(insert pic of motor and trans out of car)

once the motor and trans where installed I tried to bleed the brakes. dust came out of the master cylinder and brake lines. Thas cool was gonna buy z32 brakes anyways
Bought z32 front and rear brakes.
drilled the rotors and hub myself at home with a drill press. turned out awesome. now the car is 5 lug front. Kept the car 4 lug rear and just drilled the rotors to 4 lug. I kept the rear 4 lug since the car has maybe 110 hp, the tires are cheaper and It will drift better like this.

Sent my lower control arms to abercrombi motorsports to get extended and boxed. (which took 9 months) So pissed.
bought Abercrombie tie rod ends.

got stock lower control arms from someone on here just to drive the car.

bought PBM in line hydraulic e brake. installed it. it sucked. pissed. bleed for 2 hours still sucked but would lock up the tires. thought maybe he pads arn't bighting the rotor hard enough so I slotted the rear rotors myself. turned out all sick like. and made the hydro work better. even though its probably my calipers fault In retrospect I would not buy a inline again. stock tiny disk and brake works better.

First time ever drifting my 350z. I used to never clutch kick so my clutch would last as long as possible which is why my entries suck.

This is when things got srs.

had every part I needed for my LS1 build in my shopping kart on enjuku totaled out to $15,345 not including a cage or transmission. decided to wait a week.

At the end of that week browsing through instagram I noticed Tom Barnhartt was wanting to sell his car a couple weeks prior. I contacted Tom Barnhartt about buying his chassis. He told me his car wasn't for sale anymore. I was sad............................... :| BUT he told me his friend Scott Neener's car was for sale. if anyone knows these two cars they are basically "sister" cars Tom's is black paint splatter and Scotts was white paint splatter. Scotts is lighter due to the less intricate and thinner wall tubing cage Built by Tom. (Tom's was built to pretty old FD ruled that mandated a thicker cage) There are obviously quite a few other differences but It doesn't matter.

In my head I'm thinking why the fuck would I spend a shit load of money just to say "yeah I built it" At that point I decided to stop taking the stairs and hopped on the Elevator.

Contacted Scott on facebook telling him I was interested in purchasing his car. Two days later loaded up a trailer (my first day off work) and I drove down with cash in hand to buy the car. Loved everything about the car it was exactly what I wanted. LS1, Big wing, swag, cage, loud pipes, and a mother fucking lambo door. didn't even haggle with price. told him to shut up and take my money. (not really)

Did my first event a month later. I Did OK. nothing I would brag about. It was my first time ever drifting a 240 or even a car with a locking rear diff. I sucked at with the e brake because I never got it heated up enough to be consistant. This car transitions really really weird because the back is so light. Scott told me it was a rear weight issue which I concurred with. The car also had a shit load of akerman built into the front spindles that I didn't like. I felt like the front was scrubbing to much speed on entry and causing the back to come around. (we will see if this was actually the issue sept 19th) The car also got hot which I did not like and I did not have the CryO2 tank filled to help cool it down. I Also didn't realize fuel temperature was going to be an issue and ended up vapor locking the car for probably the scariest 20 minuets ever. I aslo did my first tandem run ever with huff and left foot braked that same run which was really cool.

The event was a huge learning experience and I felt like I needed to change the car to better suit my driving style.

That being said. I've changed a couple things most wouldn't notice.

-Put 25mm extended s14 FLCA that Abercrombie made for me on the car as well as my PBM knuckles.

There is still a lot I am setting up for to make this car better in the future.
-Got a monster stage 3 clutch
-moved battery to rear of hatch under the floor for better weight distribution
-more intricate cage work
-color change
-more body mods
-front splitter and rear diffuser
-t74 turbo
-new hood
-50mm extended notched LCA's
-move steering rack further forward
-re do interior
-more gauges
-new driver seat

As you can see there is still a LOT that will be done to this car despite it looking like its already done.

9/19/2014 event update!

Going into this event I had no idea how the new front steering set up was going to react with all the changes I made. I changed almost everything on the front end:extended FLCA's, Moog drop ball joints, offset tension rods, PBM knucles, PBM rack spacers and Abercrombie tie rods.

The first run of the day/night I ran into realllllly bad overcentering issues when taking left turns that I needed to fix. it was super sketchy like rip the steering wheel out of my hands status. I ended up decreasing the caster to help prevent over centering and it helped.

Run number two the changes felt great no over centering when drifting to the left but when I slid the car to the right I felt a slight over centering that I needed to adjust. I ended up spinning out on this run because I transitioned to hard and then got back on the throttle to soon. noob mistake. oh well.

Third run of the night felt great, did the whole coarse had a blast. then realized my master cylinder was failing. sick.

What was going to be the fourth run of the day my car was having extremely sporadic electrical output. This ended my night and I limped home. At the time I didn't realize this was from the battery cable being completely coroaded on the positive terminal.

I'm also in the very very beginning stages of completely re doing my dash

Still need to do a lot of trimming but here's the ruff draft.

http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/AD00C633-C6D2-4244-9BF8-47BDA994D5FE_zpsw4g88k8p.png (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/AD00C633-C6D2-4244-9BF8-47BDA994D5FE_zpsw4g88k8p.png.html)


Decided to change up the interior a little bit and do something different. Cut the waterfall ish shape off the bottom of the dash to make my current set up. This makes it way easier to remove the dash and trouble shoot any possible connection or wiring issues that might ever arise. It also looks a lot cleaner and adds some more personal style to the build.

I did another event I still need to get the footage off my camera.

I tried a reverse entry for the first time and it went pretty good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlasD_wNN0g&list=UUCUDTn90GhwzNLeh6C9Ut8A&index=1 until the trunk latches broke LoL

luckily my trunk is fiberglass so I will be able to repair it. I also need another piece of lexan since mine cracked from it flexing back.

and my last attempt before ending my night. If I would have had the revs up before letting the clutch out it would have been perfect. but after this run I noticed that my car was burning a shit load of oil on start up. I came to the conclusion my 7th cylinder valve seal is messed up and letting oil poor into the combustion chamber which I do not appreciate. So that pass ended my night.

Because I have to replace the valve seals I'm going to go ahead and buy tooley dual valve springs and get this thing ready for a tick stage 2 turbo cam :D

I should have a couple up dates coming soon. I've changed a couple thing since my last post.

not sure if this was mentioned, but out of concern to keeping a sweet ride on the road you may want to relocate your fuel pump. if anything to prolong its life.

[TheRealSy90]

I don't know where to start with this thread haha...

Whoever payed 2 grand for that cage got raped with no lube, and those aren't lambo doors... Carry on! Seems like you're having fun though.

I'm well aware of this situation. I always keep the tank as full as possible to prevent any kind of pump starvation. I am going to lower it very soon as well as get a bigger fuel filter.

I do not know the actual price of the cage that was put in the car. That however around my town is what the going price of a cage that fits way shittier would go for.

Got a couple small updates and pictures from The last drift event.

Car ran great at the last event. had no mechanical issues besides my brake master cylinder dying as i pulled into the event :picardfp::picardfp::picardfp::picardfp::picardfp: :picardfp::picardfp::picardfp:

With my brake master dead i didnt feel comfortable doing tandem runs which sucked because there where some good drivers at the event.

Unfortunately when taking my friend for a drive i had an injector fail. took my whole fuel system apart and there was so much tire debree and dirt in the system i decided to deep clean everything and ordering a new injector.

so as for now i/m re doing my rear fuel system.
Lowering the pump, better fuel filter and new fuel lines to try to keep dirt out of the system as well as a new gas cap.



**Step back into the past**
At the last night event i attended my trunk latches broke during a reverse entry and ended up folding my carbon trunk back enough to almost hit my windsheild. :facepalm: heres a picture of it halfways through the specticle http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/7A35681F-B083-4E1E-B600-0B0833138CD9_zpsdzfnd7ry.png (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/7A35681F-B083-4E1E-B600-0B0833138CD9_zpsdzfnd7ry.png.html)

because of that incident I decided that i no longer want my wing connected to my trunk. I moved my wing stands to the gutter rails in the 1/4 panels.

I re drilled the wing for new mounting holes and used riv nuts and JB weld to hold the threads in place.

i like the way it looks better and i can increase the wing angle more without worrying about cracking my carbon trunk or it flying up on reverse entrys.

so im not sure if your names really Steve or not so I'm gonna just call you steve anyway lol. I saw your car first over at .net and recently at a event. If your interested in getting some photos of the car let me know i do a little photography on the side. Nothing crazy but I'm trying to get better. Will you be out at green cove on the 14th?

[a3dicbillygoat]

Got my fuel system all figured out. Lowering the pump and increasing my fuel filter surface area by about 58 square inches.

I contacted Low brain a while back and Julian sent me the pdf file to create the low brain vinyl. Had my friend who works with identity design in Jacksonville to get it cut up for me. It turned out pretty epic. The gray matches my roof perfectly and the black rainbow flake goes with my paint amazingly. Ill have to get some daytime shots of it soon tomorrow.

Also yes the car does have long tubes. sikky long tubes to 3 inch merg collectors to a 4 inch y pipe straight out of the back.

Yes i will be at the green cove drift event on the 14th it should be a good time.


If anyone wants to see the car in person I will be at Import face off in gainsville this weekend.

I want to make it clear that nothing in these next pictures is 100% done. Im still in the prosses of tinkering and fine tuning everything to my liking as well as painting.


After years of wanting a rear mount radiator i finally decided to take the plunge
I did all the fabrication myself besides the aluminum welding on the water pipes.

these fans are beast.

was going to put NACA ducts in the quarter panels but they fit like shit inside and out so fuck that.

I made two "jigs" for the new ducts i will be making out of sheet metal
i'm going to be using these two pieces of lexan to form the metal around it. that way i can reproduce these ducts exactly the same over and over incase of any future accidents. doing the ducts this way i will have WAY more air then i did with the naca ducts and it will look way better.

most of you don't know but i race dirt oval karts aswell. ive had pretty good success This past weekend at volusia speedway park they hosted the gator championchip race.
i entered two classes, the first was box stock open tire pro which was $500 to win and the box stock pro vega tire which was $1000 to win.

i qualified second in the first race and ended up coming in third and won $100
in the vega pro class i qualified on pole with around a .12 gap over second place. this was a huge feat for me as almost everyone in the top 10 where state champions. one or two of the people in the top 5 where factory drivers.
we started the race and only got 3 laps in before it got rained out. As per the rules if the race does not complete 10 laps the order of qualifying determains the winner. That being said i won the $1000 purse. taking home a total of $1100 was a great feeling.

I also got a huge promotion at work and the shop owner has been investing quite a bit of money in me. My shop owner sent me out to sikkens technical training facility in GA for the autobase plus class. I learned a lot of really cool tricks and tips on automotive painting
My shop owner also bought me a brand new Sata 5000.

Getting closer ever day but still in mock up.

[Salvarath]

It's looking great! Everyone says keep up the good work, but keep up the good work. I actually really like your car except for the open front end, it doesn't seem that strong compared to others.

[a3dicbillygoat]

Thanks for all the support guys it means a lot! I've spent a lot of time mentally and physically trying to get this car to where I want it to be.

The front end had a tube and plate welded across the bottom that the tension rod bolts to as well as capped frame rails and another "jack" bar that ties into the frame rails and is made out of the same material as the cage.

So structurally I think all the strength is there.

As for the top almost all the core support is still in tact just the center section was cut out to lean the radiator forward. It would probably all get vaporized in an accident but that's fine.

IMO the weaker the front end is up there the more the damage will localize to that area rather than spreading to the frame and strut towers. However at some point I will be welding bars from the strut towers to the frame rails which should keep the motor from getting hit and keep the front end together in case of an accident.

I've been wanting to get opinions on front and rear bash bars. I have an idea in my head but it would be cool to see some cars that have gotten wrecked and see how the S chassis reacts in certain situations when crashing.

[a3dicbillygoat]

the only thing left for the coolant to be finished is drill and tap the water pump for steam vent.

I have also wired the fans I just need to power the relays.

i am exite

[D-Clem]

This is such a sick build. I'm a local, idk how I haven't seen this car. I ran green cove last month but there wasn't a huge turnout. Hopefully I'll see this monster at the next event. Good luck man

Final mounted all the coolant lines today.

I drove the car today and all I can say is holy shit. The car has soooo much more grip now it's insane. The car has so much forward bite. I used to have to pedal third to keep from spinning now the second I get in third I can hold it flat till fourth. The amount of grip in drift is super crazy and is going to be fun getting used to it. 60mph exiting a closed intersection in drift was a awesome feeling.

All I can say is That I am super confident with the way this build is going and hopefully going to help me because a big competitor at the end of this and next year at some Florida events. The next event I want to go to will be at OSW In July. I am really exite.

P.S. I'm sorry for everything I'm about to put you through axles. Stay strong for the both of us.

[OBEEWON]

I enjoy your A/N's a lot.

[Salvarath]

Hey, for front end designs, I "designed" a front end setup for my s13 that has 2 crush zones that bolt on, so they're replaceable. One on each side for the fenders and the front bash bar is designed to rip off. Theres a main frame that the crush zones would bolt to, so you could keep your main frame intact and just smash in the crushable pieces. I've never really seen crush zones or replaceable parts built into tube front cars, I think that would be awesome to incorporate. I'm sure you could create it but if you want I could find the drawings I have.

[a3dicbillygoat]

Salvarath think you could send me pictures of it on your car and drawings? I would really appreciate it. Sounds like a cool design.

I will send you a PM of a diagram. Or if you want, post them here. I can't find my original drawings so I'll just recreate them on the computer, they'll be easier to understand than my original drawings anyway.

My first time taking the car out sliding after moving the radiator. The car feels amazing.

**both of these videos where taking on land my dad owns and operates. Street drifting is illegal and I don't condone it**

Also AUGUST 15th OSW is having a drift event. I will be trying my hardest to make it. If any of you are local you should try to make it out.

[a3dicbillygoat]

And I bout wheels from Japan. Shipping is going to take about 6 weeks and I'm counting every day lol

17x9+5 front 17x10+5 rear. They are in pretty bad shape but given my profession it will be so cheap to fix them.

Quick question,

Is that a modified extended E brake? or something he purchased from a vender?

thanks

thanks

it is a piece of metal with ruffly the same inside diameter as the e brake handle. it was on the car when i bought it and it has no locking mechanism.

[wanna240]

Absolutely an amazing build. I will be doing the same with my s14 zenki.

Dude, mounting a fuel cooler inside the car, directly behind your seat is a fucking horrible idea. How has nobody brought this up yet??

If your concern is my safety I wouldn't worry about it. This car could kill me in a million different ways. I have however also bought a new fuel cell and will be changing the position of my fuel cooler getting it closer to the radiator.

[Counteract]

Schweet thread man. Was really confused by the LB stickers so had to go back and re-read as I didn't realise many people outside of Europe/Australia knew of them! They're a local team to me and rock hard!

Well death is one thing, being horribly horribly burned and surviving is another. Next to the radiator doesn't help you if you have a line bleed or break and the entire car is filled with flames. There is a reason you don't see fuel inside the same compartment as the driver on any car built to real safety spec.

[fredmootkx]

Awesome build, thumb up!

[a3dicbillygoat]

I will be building a fire wall in the future. Just like every other pro car.

As you can see from my last post my wheels finally arrived from japn. I was super happy to finally have a nice set of wheels despite how beat up they are.
I literally couldn't have picked a better width size or offset for these thing in the front. I'm stoked.

The only thing I didn't like when I recived the wheels is the lack of lipage I got from them.

Well. VR wheels changed that. I bought a pair of 18x11+14 with 5.5 inch lips.

I also built the cradle for my fuel cell this weekend. Times like these I wish I didn't have to wait on friends to borrow their welder. Next purchase maybe?

I know it's dark as shit but here's my fuel cells resting place. If you look hard enough you can see my new fuel cooler and mounting position in the bottom right of the radiator.

I have an ATL swirl pot on the way too.

And in driving related news I'm entering my first competition December 19th which I am really exited for. Hopefully I can get used to this car fast enough to be competitive

[izzy-]

You ever though about taking the wing off, and painting it one color?

[a3dicbillygoat]

I didn't have time to take pictures so this part is all Hellan Keller sorry. Staying awake till 1-2am every morning then waking up at 6am to go to work absolutely sucked. The week before the event was total fucking hell

I was happy with the placement of all my components and started running fuel lines. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/4C3D1487-FDFE-4291-A051-330FDABD0BE9_zpsyy0salzu.png (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/4C3D1487-FDFE-4291-A051-330FDABD0BE9_zpsyy0salzu.png.html)

Everything was going smooth as shit. Then when I went to remove a fitting that was over torqued from ATL's factory on my swirl pot the nut free spun in the pot creating a leak. Literally 2 nights before the event. I called ATL and they next day air freighted me one Friday but it wouldn't make it here in time. Next I pulled out the JB weld and stopped the leaks. But now that I was stuck with the fitting that was in the swirl pot I had to run adapters and other bullshit I didn't plan on or have Friday at lunch luckily I was able to find a local shop that carried AN fittings. Primed the system for the first time at 2am on Saturday let it run for a while to double check for leaks. Nothing where good to go.

Loaded the car up at 8 am and headed to the track

EVENT UPDATE
THE GRAND DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3 at Gainsville raceway



This being my first ever competition event and my first time ever trying to actually tandem close to someone with a car I completely changed the weight bias on and drove about 8 miles total the night before the event I had no idea what to expect.


I qualified seventh. I thought that I should have been higher but that's drifting
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/AFB754FF-217C-40B6-A243-0A374EAE4448_zps29uldk7w.png (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/AFB754FF-217C-40B6-A243-0A374EAE4448_zps29uldk7w.png.html)


Me and Alex segal (LS vert)went up against each other and I knocked him out of comp. if he wouldn't have spun when I was chasing him it probably would have gone one more time. He said he could hear me getting close so he pushed it to hard. His car was putting out so much more smoke then I have ever seen chasing someone which was pretty intense going into a corner halfway blind. it made it almost impossible to see on switch backs but I kept up with him and started gettin more comfortable without full vision.

Next run was against a LS with a ms3 cam. I expected his car to be fast but that was not the case. Initiated on his ass and literally couldn't left foot brake enough to go slow enough and hang with him. Tried gas to e brake to gas to e brake over and over but still couldn't go slow enough. My lead run against him I gapped him then hucked it into the last corner and spun when my front tire hit my wheel well. I knew I lost already because my chase run but it was all good.

http://youtu.be/0UmrQhvG8pQ You can see how much faster my car was on my lead run.

Now I'm in the losers bracket. This was for third place.

I Went against a Miata that qualified first and it was a great run. I was really close to him the whole run and was starting to get the hang of this whole tandem thing. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/496A7EA4-B990-498B-870B-E5F4CDC88925_zpsa0wppb6z.png (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/496A7EA4-B990-498B-870B-E5F4CDC88925_zpsa0wppb6z.png.html)

My lead run I gapped him and then I just went to hard into the last corner again and almost spun. I held it held but went into the grass with my front tores on the next switch back so I lost that battle. The staff handed me the walkie talkie with Kelsey Rawlings (main judge) on the other end and she told me I would have won if I didn't go retard into the last corner. http://youtu.be/giRL2IDTGck

But it was an awesome event. I leaned so much and it was sweet to see my car actually preform against other cars with more power and be faster than them.

The whole car will be painted hopefully soon this new year so I'm not going to worry about changing the wing color.

[Reece]

You ever though about taking the wing off, and painting it one color?

THIS

PLEASE

This car is SO close to being really cool

[a3dicbillygoat]

Was up ladies. It's been a while and as always a couple changes have taken place.

I bought a wisefab front steering kit.
Shit took a full month to get to me it was ridiculous.

I made a firewall finally so I don't die as soon. It's pretty rad how much quieter the cabin is now. I still haven't had a chance to completely finish the wall Mounting brackets but it's in.

(Ima update this with wisefab install stuffs I know I haven't been posting enough "build" stuff in this post but I'll fix that showing pictures comparing wisefab and PBM.

I got the kit installed like the night before my next event as usual.

A couple weeks ago I went to an event hosted by The Grand Drift Championship at gainsville raceway. It was a blast.

After my first run I realized how much I had been missing with my PBM set up.

Everyone always focuses on how much lock the wisefab kit has but that's not even the best part. I never felt safe with my PBM set up honestly. Idk if it was my low ride hight, soft shocks or what but my PBM kit would bind all over the place and I never felt consistent. Wisefab on the other hand swings from lock to lock perfectly no binding no steering wheel shake no fighting the wheel. It does what it's told and don't give no lip.

The gainsville event was my first time ever going to an event with this car and coming home without anything broken. FINALLY

it felt really good to not have any issues to fix before the next event.

Bwaaaaaaap

It gave me time to do more arts and crafts

ALSO two for one special Orlando speed world after math (edit coming soon)

[rawgarage]

Legit......

Live action from Gainsville feeling out the newly acquired wisefab.

Here's everything that happened since the last post.

After the Event at gainsville I basically left the car alone and got it prepared for Orlando speed worlds aftermath event which was hosted the day after formula drift. There wasn't much still photogography which means I don't have any pictures to show I however do have a super duper shitty video of a go pro video.

(Insert stupid video)

I don't have a computer so I can't really upload any footage besides cell phone stuff

https://youtu.be/vIENCNdrqsY

The osw event was fun but I packed it up kinda early because the track had so much grip from formula drift that I couldn't pull fourth gear on the bank meaning I was literally on limiter in third the whole time. Then one run I forgot to turn my fans on and temps got up to around 240-250. After that I packed it up and got ready to head home.

A couple weeks after the event I was invited to a private track day by The Grand Drift Championship at The F.I.R.M. Me Alex schlagel and some other person I've never slid with before where basically going to do a video shoot to promote this awesome track for drifting.

Well. IT FUCKING POURED RAIN 99% of the time. Like flooded track water over the windshield when hitting puddles.

I got maybe 5 dry laps in before the rain hit but Dave Bell captured some cool pictures.

This track is seriously the most fun ever. Aerial shots look extremely boring but once you actually get on the track and drive it it is incredible.

Unfortunately I realized my cooling system was not quite up to par for doing multiple laps at such high speed.

November second they are hosting their first drift event at the F.I.R.M. I would highly suggest going if you live around the north Florida region.

Right after that event I decided this is the perfect time to take a break from driving to do a little more arts and crafts. I needed to build a fire wall and weld in some anti intrusion bars. Figured this would be the perfect time to re paint while I'm at it. Oh and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna re wire my car with racepak smart wire system.

Spent about 4-5 hours by myself to fully strip the car down to bare interior.

Remember that cooling issue I was having?
Well that will no longer be an issue.

Stage 2 Switzer gtr radiator and bleed tank coming in all clutch

We had a Switzer gtr that crashed come in for paint. Being as the radiator core was bent (but not leaking) it was deemed to be trash which is how I scooped it up for free.
It's a dual pass radiator, it's taller and it has the bleed tank remote from the radiator. It's exactly what I needed.

Fire wall stuffs

This is still in C.A.D. (Cardboard aided design) when I convert it to metal it will be smoother.

But pretty much Ima weld all that stuff around the exterior of the cage then fill in the interior part of the cage with separate panels completely blocking me from the back half of the car.

And since you guys never get to see my paint work

Super basic color but pretty non the less.
Did the front bumper and hood http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll266/rockindude45xoxo/for%20sale/67599AFD-5DF4-46F0-A258-C168AB864892_zpsosuffuq4.jpg (http://s290.photobucket.com/user/rockindude45xoxo/media/for%20sale/67599AFD-5DF4-46F0-A258-C168AB864892_zpsosuffuq4.jpg.html)

I also got a tig welder. I have absolutely zero experience with tig welding. In fact I've never even seen one in real life. But I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and here is day 2 on the machine

I'm sure it's not perfect but hey it's a start
