This is from 6 months ago... Enough Said.

Good gravy, that is a BIG # for 60s aero.

Another phemoninal build. What brand of LED strip are you using and is it plug and play or do you have to make a harness for them?

Mark, what or how did you do the brake cooling duct from the frame to the rotor? Hope it's not top secret.

Ebay...



They are wired when you power the turn signal the white LEDs go out. Not like a new car they flash between yellow and white with the turn signal on. On a OE car the white driving lights go off when the turn signals are on. We ran all the wires to the dash so we can do it that way later if I want to build the circuit.

Thanks Mark. Sled posted Amazon as a source on FB, but I couldn't find them without the details above. Ron

Mark, the level of detail that goes into your cars is truly staggering.
Each time you build one i think it's going to be as far as you can go and then you outdo yourself on the next one.
The general population won't realise it as much because your builds are so clean and look so OEM but people here who built cars understand the amount of work and focus it takes to get a car to this level.
Congrats, truly in awe.

Keith,

Thanks for the post. Yes, unless you have attempted to build a car like this you can't apprciate the effort and the hours involved in doing a project. I can no longer do it alone. There are a ton of folks that help me.

Stopped by Lingenfelter's yesterday to do a quick check on the as installed engine calibration. With a conservative cal we are making more power then Mayhem. Also with repeated pulls the engine and charge air cooler temps were rock solid. Driving the car home it feels strong. Light tire spin with 4th gear roll on on the highway.

Dropped the car back of at Sled Alley to wrap up a few interior and trim details.

Still on track to make Waterford track event Sunday.

Mark thanks for the reply. I have been looking for something for my car. This is a great help.

Your TEAM is Top Notch.

OUSCI competitors are already throwing in the towel after reading your latest news.

I like how he said "light tire spin in fourth."
