Re: "it" has begun.... Prototype sounds like it may be healthier. :D |

Re: "it" has begun.... "it" is gorgeous. I'm in love with that yellow and looks like you have two of them in it! |
Re: "it" has begun.... Cleaned up a bit, a header checkvalve was broken and had leaked exhaust carbon all over. Everything was covered in black nasty stuff. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...f2a0c69bbe.jpg Engine coming out https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...d84736ee9d.jpg Bath time https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...978a860e43.jpg Cleaned and Painted https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...c911100491.jpg Details https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...d1f3270619.jpg Steering box out and cleaned up Cleaned up, painted and semi detailed. The black over spray looking stuff is factory undercoating from when it was applied in the wheelwells. Not sure how it got there but i have seen it on almost all the cars I've seen https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...5a328ac5ff.jpg Working on caliper/rotor fitment incase I had to make the caliper bracket and rotor hub/bell. These parts are from a 4thgen F-body kit.I lucked out and found an original set of Brembos for the 3rdgens that SLP made https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...ce99ee8f34.jpg A picture of the panel bond before the cleanup/detail.. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...154babb5d6.jpg |
Re: "it" has begun.... That is a good looking caliper. I also like the body colored inserts in the wheels. I have always wanted to paint my Ronals like the Firehawks |
Re: "it" has begun.... Sweet. Is that a full floating rear axle? |

Re: "it" has begun.... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...ed2499daef.jpg T5 vs F-body ZF trans bellhousing and TTA trans crossmember. <br/>I didn't have a corvette bellhousing at the time to compare. |
Re: "it" has begun.... I assume you sourced a consol for this and was the throttle bracket for manual different, I've seen the auto but not the manual one. |

Re: "it" has begun.... Looking forward to seeing it (& you again) in Norwalk. |
Re: "it" has begun.... Pic from a few yrs ago, sold off 2 of them. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...1d8d60dff8.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...04b9101c0a.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...796f3e608a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...358389de24.jpg Test run with wrong font. Bought some repops so i don't have to screw up the 1991 original centercaps.] https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...cb11c75f14.jpg |
Re: "it" has begun.... |
Re: "it" has begun.... That one is going to take some cash to build, down the road engine! |

Re: "it" has begun.... Damn hoarders, lol. I would potentially be interested in some of those cap "jewels" if you have more made, or want to part with those. I got some last run R15s and the center caps just say "Ronal", very boring. |
Re: "it" has begun.... I wish i had the energy to put into my car like you do for yours. Looks like a great build already. Future COTM right there lol |
