Just wanted to add the finished trans. trap. Used some pieces of 1/8 stock and cut some small pieces that I welded to the cutout. Drilled some hole and tacked a nut. The plate is bolted from the bottom.

Thanks all

Ah, I see you're a glutton for punishment just like me? I have #2 on the way in November (#1 is not even 1 yr. old yet- April 22). Congrats my friend!

Keep up the good work and get moving. Baby will cut into your free time pretty good. Keep those gloves handy for changing projectile poo diapers........ :D

LMAO! Thank you sir!

Carl,
Nice job - will keep an eye out for updates here.
Have you started in on moving the engine / trans forward?

Started with the A-arms and RebelRacing bushing set. All I have to say is these are spectacular! Actuation is flawless, I had to shim about 5mm in the front to get good alignment. The proper spherical washers are ordered and on their way. This should ad some anti-drive in the geometry. They are as precise and stiff as you would expect from a 935 spherical front end!

Budget being the limiting factor here, the RacePak dash and data setup will have to wait. But I have the next best thing! I decided to run some test and see if I could use my kart tach/lap timer working in the car. All seem good, tach works and I have the tripod for tracks that dont have the imbedded timing marker.

I bought a 74' Mag case stock 915 that came out of a running 100k car. It is stock with the 7/31 r&p that have some wear. The ring is not broken thru the hardfacing but the pinion doesnt look very good. So this is a TEST, please do not adjust your computer screen this is a TEST!!

I am not sure what the final desired tranny setup will be for this car... Maybe 915, maybe G50, maybe Mendeola... lol Who knows

So in the interest of science and my personal satisfaction, also some advice from people I trust. I will start with the box as is, adding a CaliforniaMotorsport side cover and poor man spool... The objective is 10-15 track days this summer. I have my money on this working fine if driven within the physical limits of this box. Once the car is shaken down and some quick laps I'll be in a better position to know what I want.

Slowly but surely its all coming together! Starting to get very anxious, was at the track helping some of my friends this week... :mad: I want to play :D :D :D

Just curious on how long it took u to get the rear flares to point they were primerable?

Good job BTW, very thorough. What size and type wheels will u be running?

Signed

juicersr,

I had the bodyshop sand and primer the quarters for me while they were doing the tub. They were pretty bad when I brought them and was actually very surprised how they turned out. They are not perfect but definently good enought. The gelcoat was really bad so I guess he had to sand quite a bit.

I am not really in to looks, this will be All go, No show this summer. I plan on basterdizing this thing and running the wide 993 f/g front fenders I have. The plan is to get a full GT2 kit from JohnSimone next year. All I need for now is a 993 front buimper and rsr rear, I'll make up some side skirts for ground affects and to tie both the diff front and back together.

I dont think she'll be worthy of parading beside the beautiful FunfGruppen cars this year. ;)
But she should fly!!!

As for wheels I will be running 18'', something between 9.5 - 10.5 f / 11 - 12 r. Havent decided what wheels yet, probably what comes along at that point... I would like BBS E88s, E26s, I think CCW offers a good custom option at a good price!?! I am lucky enought to have access to Ferrari Challenge and some Cup cars for tires. So I will have plenty of sets with a few heat cycles to burn for not much... When you have 2 much money, its always the cars fault for being slow... lol
Its OK boys, keep on changing those tires. This motivated my choice for 18'', should be a good combination. The Challenge 360s run 235/680/18 , 295/ ?!? /18 Pirelli P3 if I remember correctly.

Carl

Nice work and nice project....

I am guessing your in quebec somewhere? the flat bed truck with french writing was one clue.

Did you bend all the roll cage tubing with that small bender you built? Are you tig or mig welding it?

Thanks

Thanks Herman,

Yes I did bend everything with that tool. Its actualy pretty massive and way too overbuilt for the application. Wasnt that much bending involved, alot more notching... I MIG welded and you are correct, I am in Quebec!

Go Habs Go

Received my my rear shocks from RebelRacing this week!!! They look absolutaly amazing, I am impressed... Thanks Clint

Clint said he enjoys doing business with you and your car of such high calibur.

Well done, you will love these when setup time arrives :)

Thanks Chris! I had a little help in the design... ;)

Are you going to come run the car up North this summer?!?

I think you improved upon the "originals" nicely.


How far north are we talking 'bout?

Tremblant?

I'll have to see if I can sell the Canadian experience to my wife :)

That should be easy, women love Montreal, your angle is food and shopping!!
Let me know if she goes for it...:D

Spring plates came in this week! These are an actual work of art, again Clint has outdone himself... Setup should be very accurate and quick.

I am amazed by the range of adjustment these cars have, even in the late 60s.

Great thread. I am interested to see the end result. I am thinking about going the same route. Looks great so far.

So work is progressing, time for a small update. Its been more parts sourcing few weeks then actual fabrication but everything is falling in line.

The rear is all set just missing the sway bar!

I modded the rear 964 calipers by reaming the original mounting holes and turning some alu. dowels and press fit before redrilling. I'm now milling off 1mm extra on the ears to better center the disc. Pics when I finish...

Got the oil tank mounted, I finaly installed it in the cab, hopping to improve MOI. Will fab a sheet metal case for it when the final touchess go in. Its a Patterson 5 gallon, got a really deal on Ebay and couldnt pass it up. A little more oil can hurt just give it a little more time to cool off before going back in the motor. I ordered a weld in -AN bung to add an extra vent fitting as it only has 1. There is a drain at the bottom that I will plug with a 90deg fitting then drill a hole in the floor to drop the oil.

It even has an Oberg filter!

I sent you a PM too

Work and parts gathering has continued at a steady pace...

Received front floating front rotor hats, I'll be using Wilwood rotors at the front and 930s at the back. Very nice machining and finish! The caliper adapters will not work with the 964 calipers as they are for 993s. Will make others when calipers are mounted...

Next is setting up the electrical system, all hd switches with resettable breakers and running off relays. The generic fuse panel will distribute the system. I found that I could not easily reach the dash once properly seated, had to stretch, so I'm making a aux. control panel. It will also have the brake bias nob, fire system switch and plenty of room for expansion. At this point the system is quite simple...

Good news on the tranny front, I've been waiting on that for a few months now... She looks great, apart from the r/p that I allready knew about all that is needed is a reseal and setup. As I said before, the tranny is a test for know, I have no idea what gearing I will need for the different tracks I will regularly run at. Hopefuly the combo I have now will last long enought to make a proper assement of where I need to be, maybe I'll hate the 915 and decide to go G50... They are waiting for the CaliforniaMotorsport side cover and it will be back together. So I started finalising the work and parts needed to mate the motor and tranny.

I am keeping the 964 engine mount and the plan at this point is to mod the tranny carrier to move everything as much forward as possible. I'll clearence whatever I need in the torsion tube. Being on a tight budget I need to work on any aspect that comes cheap like balance and weight loss... Power is out of reach for now.

I have to go buy a hydraulic lift cart this weekend, it will make all the test fitting and engine install painless.

Nice work on the dimple dies for the attachment tabs. I need to do the same for my rollbar for the A-pillars - anymore details on this? Not wild about purchasing a full set of dies for probably 3 holes on each side.
