KTL - And image, I even found time to make a baby!!! LOL We are due for August...

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

[KTL]

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........

[wax105]

LMAO! Thank you sir!

And congrats to you and the Miss... I'll be plowing away hard till then!

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

I will be getting the chassis back today! I'm not really happy with the finish in the cab, once all setup is said and done I'll wire wheel the interior to get a nice coat of paint stick properly.

Used a few hours yesterday to see how light I could get a steel door...







Managed to get more then half the weight out of it and keeping some form. Granted these things are really heavy to start... Will make some formed door cards when door bars and padding are in.

I'll post some better pics when she gets in...

[wax105]

Doug, no I havent and decided it would be part of next winter projects. I want to see how much I can move everything forward. But I know exactly the way I'll do it...

Thanks

Time for a little update as I'm waiting for the MonacoGP start...

Now with the chassis prepped I was able to start instaling all nice new shinny parts I had in stock!



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!







Installed the rebuilt steering rack and collumn. I added some spacers under the collumn mount in the cab to lower the steering a little as the seat is now much lower in the car.





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'll have to see if I can adapt the temp sensor... Either way I'll ad an oil temp/psi gauge and a batt voltage gauge. I ordered some aluminium sheet to make some dash panel to bolt all switchs and acc...

I am expecting the rear coilovers and rsr spring plates from Clint this week!
This should be nice!!

[wax105]

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.



The diff was cleaned, prepped and pre heated before welding at 200amps. Penetration is optimal and this baby isnt gong anywhere

The boys at PorscheHauss will do a once over and adjust the backlash. Always nice toys there!!!







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

[juicersr]

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?

[Joan911]

Signed

[wax105]

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.

Regards,
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

[wax105]

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

[wax105]

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

The quality and finish is above my expectations, I can not wait to try these out, spring plates should be here early next week.









Also made the rear camber box adjusters...







Now some dash panels (wont be using those bolts), 1/8 alu...







and now a floor! I used 3/16, once bolted it will be a nice surface to setup the floor mount pedal assembly.



More to come...

[Flieger]

Wow, this is a SERIOUS RACE CAR! Great Work.

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

[wax105]

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?
