Introducing - Project 1/2-TRAK

[Damn True]

So don't



Glad to hear the inner fenders went in easier than the deck lid did. I love uni-bits as well.

Too shiny.

[MrQuick]

Too shiny.

just scuff it up with some 80 grit. LOL

Your gonna be pretty tail lite now.

There's gonna be an LS, glass inners and a composite hood up front, a cage, fuel cell (and structure) and the 3-link out back. Should work out fine.

Shipka's car came out with about 46% on the rear and he is all steel.

I think I might be able to improve on that a bit.

[Code Red]

so are you itchy enough yet? lol thats the only bad thing about fiberglass

[Damn True]

Switched to carbon. It fits really nicely.

If anyone wants the VFN fiberglass decklid I'll sell it to them CHEAP. I just ran out of talent and motivation to get it fitted.

You can always add ballast to the rear if necessary. I say lighten it up as much as possible first. Then add back what you need to if you need to at all.

You could spray flat clear over the CF parts to make them less shiny but still show the fiber

Very nice project. I'll be following your sets when i get to painting my subframe. I think the history behind it is awesome. It reminded me of a couple other Playboy "vehicles" I remember seeing from my past. I hope this gives you a little inspiration as to where to include the "Bunny" when you get around to it. I think in the headrests would be cool.

[Damn True]

Thanks. Make sure you check the factory welds around the UCA mounts very closely. One of mine was cracked.

I don't think I'll use the actual bunny logo. It just reminds me too much of the bunny logo air fresheners. There will be a touch of pink incorporated in the car.

Where and how will remain a surprise.

[hotrdblder]

i have steel fenders, hood, etc my suspension, tq arm rear, dry sump ls, 12 point cage using 1.75x.134 tubing, car weighed 3190 on my intercomp deluxe scales, with a 52/48 weight, front weight is 6 lbs off side to side, rear is 21, and battery is on heavy side.
you will be all set true and will probably end up 51/49, do some set back and your there.

[Damn True]

Good info, thanks Jake.

I'm considering a few other weight saving measures as well. I really hope to get this thing at or below 3k

[zman1969]

really- under 3k good luck with all that how bout this logo for ya?

[mazspeed]

I love that color scheme. If I would have seen that before I painted my car, it would be that right there.

Thanks. I like your car a lot too.

You know, True, I could come over with a torch and burn it all off for you. It'd smell bad, and I'd be there forever, and your neighbors would hate you, but it'd get done. Right?

I have that removal kit from eastwood with the thermonuclear heat gun and a solvent stuff for the last residue....and I have a propane torch for the really tough stuff. I also have a nephew at SJ state who needs money.

See where I'm going with this?

Kathy and I are going out of town later this month and he'll probably house-sit for us and have a chance to earn a little extra if he gets that crap off the bottom of the car before I get home.

So True, the cover for the fan is a Factory Delate part, talk about a time savings trimming, cutting, welding. Who did you get it from?

The two panels constitute 2/3 of the factory heater delete stuff. It doesn't come with the delete plate for the dash center panel. Ordered it from Rick's 1st Gen.

Honestly, I could have just backed the panel with body adhesive and then riveted it up, or just welded the panels to the OE firewall. But I elected to fill the OE holes first to compensate for the loss in rigidity of the firewall from the heater hole.

The whole thing took less than 2hrs.

I love the look, and quick to boot.
If I would have known those were available as a reproduction, I never would have filled my heater hole in the first place. There's one weekend of my life I'll never get back.

I still filled the heater hole and the two triangular holes for the water fittings. I just didn't spend any more than maybe 10-15 min cleaning up the welds because I am covering them up with the delete plate.

Thank you very much!

Ricks is my favorite, well, was before corporate buy out!
