Weekend Twenty-five
Ahhh. Camber plates. What a great ruby red color. We'll see what kind of suspension upgrade this really brings.
Now on to the rocker panels. McLean is wiping them down and preparing them for paint. We are going to make an end cap set for the steel rocker panels so you can easily have steel flared rocker panels. The front bumper has been bolted up with a new front top seal.
We had the front and rear bumpers re-chromed. The far right photo shows our fuel compartment
Here's one of our meetings. Now that the car has an engine people are coming out of the woodwork to assist. Every one chips in and offers suggesions and helps with the pick list before the next session of work begins. You can even see Dr. 914 in action making a list of suggestions before washing his hands of the car again for that session.
McClean does some more work on our steel rocker panels made from our reproduction steel rocker panels and paints the fuel pump hat. Remember there were never any original steel flared rocker panels, they were all fiberglass even on the M471 package 914.
The four cylinder headers were added by Eric along with a Supertrapp muffler. McLean took on the gas tank with our Repair kit.
McLean also cut our rear GT valence for the muffler. A quick release oil drain was added and then some relay board connections.
More tuning on the new Extreme Fuel Injection kit. Even Dr. 914 got into the act, though ultmately denying he was ever there.
McLean paints the fuel tank and prepares for installation.
Rocker panels are painted and Sean completes some suspension needs.
Sean also decided to adjust the clutch tube. Another last minute adjustment!!
I hate to see cutting and welding this late in the game.
Front GT Valance work by McLean.
New tank hardware and sending unit.
Since we used the GT front valance with the oil cooler cut out, we had to cover the cutout which we did with GT grill material.
Here Sean works on our floorboard subwoofer kit. The new improvements are great.
