Slantnose Project
Some pics of my beloved slantnose project. Just got most of the parts back from paint!! Can't wait to assemble!! Full steel body. Does anyone know where to get the vent slates that go in the rear fenders? I need one.

|
|
Looking nice!!!
What headlight operating system are you going to use? John |
Awesome!
|
The motors are mazda rx7 generation one units. The pivoting fixture I believe are custom by who ever manufactured these steel fenders back in the day.
|
Nice wheels!!!

Where in CT are you? That pic on the flatbed w/ the Berlin turnpike sign brings back memories. I'm from Meriden...rt. 5, 15, 91 and the turnpike are all right there! Nice pics. Car looks like its coming along nicely!

Is it just me or are your rear wheels hanging about an inch outside the guards?
Regardless the car looks super cool :-) |
Yes rims are out past the well. If you notice in the other pictures the C2 turbo rims were on the car. They are much narrower. I need to have new custom spacers made up to accommodate the OZ Mito 18x11 rears.
|
Looking very nice!!
What body shop did you use for the paint work? |
|
Cool.....Nice slanty.
|
you can get the slats from NR auto. i got my steel rear fender vents and slats and box rockers from them.
|
Don't do it!! The unboxed rockers and open vents look so cool!

Nothing better than a slant
If your not raving. Headlights require A new amount of patience most Have yet to achieve . Just keep tellin the car I'm gonna win so you might as well Just do it A slant nose Is like a business It needs to be managed . |
I think there were at least four different after-market slantnose kits each with slightly different sized brake cooling vents. First check and see if your vent slats are metal (factory) or fiberglass. If fiberglass, I would trace the outline of one of them and fax it to some place like Better Bodies Motorsport who could identify which kit you have. It can be kind of a pain sourcing one of the after-market parts since most of them haven't been made for several years.
|
my kit had instructions for making them fit. you have to put wax paper over the curved section of the vent where the fins touch. then test fit them to make sure no material needs removed from the fins. then you put a thick coat of body filler on the part that touches the vent and screw it down. after the filler sets then you remove the slat, and clean it up and paint it and the curves will match perfectly.

Look at the arborvitae trees in the background of these before and after pics...
That's how long this car has been sitting..... lol http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1304362823.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1304362847.jpg |
