    Let the painting games begin!!

    ...good shape so the additional $400 or so for a glass one, doesn't make sense to me. Plus, I'd have to go with the Daytona style, then the side skirts and pretty soon it's another $1000!! This is gonna fit really, really well. I'm doing a final sanding and fitting today, and will post pics...

    Rear spoilers

    ...and oranges, huh? On a road trip today I saw dozens of eighteen wheelers with multiple aero devices. Overcab wind deflectors, tractor side skirts, and even skirts on the trailers. Does anyone here disagree that these trucks are significantly slower than the speeds several of us push our...

    Aero improvement, or roadhugging weight?

    ...under the front end. But, if it works for you that is all that matters. I found the rubber/vinyl baseboard trim works really well for side skirts and front air dams. It comes in long rolls, many colors, and is pretty tough. You only have to trim off the rolled edge that is intended to...

    Side Gill Aero Q's

    As I see it, much of the air comes in under the car---it's a wedge, some going over the top, some forced down under, some into the engine bay. That creates low pressure above the car, high pressure under the car, and turbulence inside the engine bay which is open to the underneath. There is also...

    Aero improvement, or roadhugging weight?

    ...rear opening to confirm that the pan/plates didn't cause a reduction in airflow to the carb. The airflow there looked normal. The lowered side skirts/rockers survived. I put about a hundred miles on the car and they didn't break. All in all I was very happy with the car. The next item is to...

    need advice on an oil pan and seal

    I agree but lately it's difficult to know if a product was relabelled or not, and if the last step was done in the West or not. I know certain German countries do all the production in the East, then do a last step, like fastening a bolt in Germany and consequently selling it off as a full...

    Making a C3 with a clamshell C4 setup

    Since I'm going with a c4 front frame I am thinking just mount it like a c4 bumper on the front and sides. I wonder if much of the firewall bonding areas can be cut out as well and cosmetically those areas made better looking

    Side Gill Aero Q's

    AYou really don't wanna know how this got demonstrated to my dumb ass, but....:hissyfit::crylol::censored: on a shark, the air pressure exerted on a hood is all from in front of the radiator, on my car with Spals in parallel to the radiator ...so blowing down on the airflow, toward the...

    Making one-off parts?

    ...post is in reply to a PM I received regarding how I would scratch-build fender flares. I am currently buliding removable, carbon fiber side skirts for my car, and the techniques I use are similar, so I included a few construction pictures. I use stiff poster board to form the basic shape...

    Moroso A-B

    JE's recommendation is 0.004 minimum. I had .0055, so already plenty. Bores need to go .008 to get round again. If i were to use the block, i would need custom made pistons and even then there are other areas that are questionable.:surrender: The thing to remember here is, i have Oliver rods for...

    Press mould or SMC?

    it was in C3 era, I want to guess 73. I think (CRS) recall that 73 only right side inner fender skirt was SMC when sold in service at GM franchised stores i.e. dealership. Earlier model inner fender skirts over the counter were press molded fiberglass. In some ways I feel so lucky. Thirty five...

    Press mould or SMC?

    Real glass is better for spider veins, that's about it.

    Drifter or pro-touring?

    ...direction to take. I was thinking about making my car into a drifter with a bunch of carbon fiber goodies, front splitter, spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Or go the pro-touring direction with some very cool looking pro-touring seats that zipsportscars.com offers, lowering it down a...

    Steering by wire ???

    Whoa, this turned into a computer-hater-convention real fast. As for the first question, I was told the big reason with why we don't have steer by wire systems yet is due to weight, complexity and cost. For something this crucial, you need the system to be in TRIPLICATE according to federal...

    Opinions needed: my financial well being is in your hands!

    Funny you mention that Gene because that was a similiar skirt around that I was going to do that my financial adivsor recommended. The drawback to the one I would do is the current owner (if you haven't guessed by now, my Father) would continue to be the owner as I was placed on the deed, the...

    Can a piston be crooked?

    It's not a difference of 25/1000 more like 5 or 10/1000 I was just saying that the .025 feeler guage would not fit top, but it would fit bottom. What kind of indicator is that Karsten? And how does it mount? The engine ran fine, other than having a blown HG. And it put down plenty of power. The...
