Inner fenders?
 

Oh yes. I'm working on them now.

They'll be made from .050 aluminum (5052). Why do you ask?

Cool, I was just wondering. :D The alum wheel wells will be sweat. Hopefully after your car is all done you can give tips to guys like us ;)

Yeah, what he said! :thumbsup:

Wow! This is a thread from the dead!
 

Hi guys,

This is one old thread. :_paranoid

I do have an engine now, and the inner fender wells are done, anodized, and installed (and then tweaked), and finished.

The car runs: I drove it from the trailer back to the garage after some chassis tuning to get my FAST XFI setup running.

I pulled the tranny (new TKO-600) back out (it leaked), and checked out the clutch and driveshaft. It's all going back together and I'm worrying about things like license plate lights, radiator overflow, and front end alignment.

Watch for a preview pic in October's PHR (an awesome photo by John Ulaszek).

I'll be driving this car very soon. Can't wait.

a teaser pic of the engine will be in a two page spread in the October PHR.. and you can even see a bit of the car in the background :D

oopsies
 

And a nice chunk of text from Mr. Rupp. Sorry Steve.

Ive never seen this thread before.

Regarding the grille: Damn you JP. I was thinking about using the exact same material. Oh well, I'll list you as an "influence".

3rd time is the charm
 

DT,

Like so many of the parts I've made for this car, it was my third attempt that turned out OK. I have ss mesh in 3 different sizes in my garage from those attempts.

In fact, if you want some samples of the different sizes, let me know and I'll send you some. I couldn't wrap my mind around what the different sizes meant until I had some in my hands.

Got the mag today...yep that's HOT!!!! :thumbsup: :hail:

Do you mean the relative size of the holes in the mesh? Yeah, I don't get that either. If you could shoot me some small samples that'd be great. I appreciate it.
