Mounting of emblems
 

Actually i am using high power magnets. These work killer and gives me the ability to move them around. Once i have a spot may resort back to good old double backed 3M tape. This works very well. If your interested in the logos go to madeindetroit.com and you can buy them on line.

That dash looks killer! Awesome job.

Do you need some rear brakes?
 

Thank you for the compliment on the dash. I checked out your build and did nt see the completed car so i must assume that it is still being worked on. I have a set of Willwood big brakes 14 in dia, 4 piston, red caliper that are brand new never used but they are for a ford 9 axle that I am trying to sell. $1400 for the complete kit, brand new they are 2k. You can see the listing on the part forum. Car looks very details:thumbsup:

Thank you. There is still quite a ways to go on the car.
I have a mongrel axle offset (by my own fault). But I already have Z51 brake set up on it now.

Thanks for the update
 

If you know anyone these are a very good deal, complete set with internal parking brake, rotors, pads calipes and ebrake cables, everything is brand new:thumbsup:

Vehicle upgrades
 

Well after driving the car at night I was not impressed with the standard headlamps. In fact it was rather sad I could barely tell if the lamps were on. I had a set of Xenon lamps but they had a convex lens which hit the RS doors so they never made it on the final build of the car. So I put them up for sale and Devil Dog picked them up and he got a good deal. I decided to install a set of HID, I looked at some of the ebay stuff lamp assembles and they seemed to be cheap so I decided to go with a tried and ture Hella lamp assemblies $70 for the pair. You need to buy the bulb separately. This allowed me to go after a H4 HID bulb assembly $40. I just got the parts this week in the mail (amazon.com) and installed them this weekend. The result was well worth the effort I went from the dark side of the moon to the blistering white light of the HID 6000k. If you’re thinking about doing this it is well worth it.:thumbsup:

Air intake upgrade
 

Well after months of looking at the air intake that I put in just to get the car running I finally made a move to redue the intake. Since I just changed out the headlamps with the HID units I took the opportunity while the car was taken apart to get this done. With some help from Guy over at SPECTRA I was able to get most of the components. But there was still one issue. If you are planning on putting a LSA in your vehicle get a radiator with the return on the passenger side. The offset intake forces the air tube to be on the driver’s side. At the time of the build this is one item we overlooked and the return of the radiator is on the driver’s side so this makes for a tight fit for the air intake tube to be routed to the motor. So with a little ingenuity I made up this mockup pc out of Styrofoam and I am going to make a carbon fiber tube that will fit around the radiator and meet up with the other components. If your building mock ups with styrofoam you need to use epoxy or white glue to glue material together, styrene based glues eat the foam! One cool feature is that I can lay-up the epoxy resin over the styrofoam and once it is cured then I can melt the foam out with lacquer thinner, similar process to investment casting. Here is a picutre on the way it was and the mockup air intake pipe. :willy:

Great info
 

Good info and i have mine set up to not blind the on comming driver. I have been running HID on by Dodge Dakota and have never had an issue from the law. So the chances for me to be ticketed are very slim, I like the pure white from the HID plus most of the cars here in So Cal have HID so to be picked out are small. I will look into the LED and see what these are all about. Thanks for info.
