Wow! You did get alot done! The POR-15 stuff is great! It's coming along really good. Keep it up! :D

Awesome work Sandeep.
So you need a special primer over the POR15 before you can cover it with the Tremclad ?

Do you have a heated garage or does the POR15 cure in low temps as well ?

Thanks,

Rob.

Looks good Sandeep, your really commited you did all that work on your own? Will ET of finish, is by summer?

Good Job

You need a primer to bond to the POR 15 called Tie Coat primer made by POR 15. Other paints then bond to the tie coat primer.

I have a BBQ propane tank with a heater attachment, so the area around the pan stays at about 15C :D

All work has been done by myself. Now I just have to bolt the whole thing together :shocked:

Summer 2010 is the goal.

Sandeep

Nice work Sandeep, props on keeping the project going. My attention span is way too short for long-term ones like that, I need to be able to drive it!!

Remember I'm not far away from you, if you find yourself in a situation where you need an extra set of hands while working on it.

Looking forward to seeing the car and getting a ride in it this summer. ;)


cheers

Looks really good Sandeep! Cant wait to see this monster back on the road.
I am stuck at the "wait for bodyshop" stage, my goal is also summer 2010

Good stuff. You will love the Tilton pedals. I have installed a set in the Herbie X project. There are some problem ares you will have to work around but they will fit and work. I want to put a set in my car but have not had the time or funds to do it.

Another Saturday, some more progress :D

Sandeep, what brand are the throttle bodies? And how do the air filters get mounted on those?
Oh, and nice project going on there, I love everything about it :D

The TB's are tapered 50mm / 45mm extrudabody.com units that flow more than 48mm TWM's. All the information is on their website.

Looking fabulous Sandeep! I have faith it will be done this summer!:)
That gearbox is HUGE!

Some more progress on another major project on the pan ... the tilton pedals :D

What a pain in the A$$ to get these to fit properly. I had to "massage" the drivers side heater channel and make a base plate to bolt the pedals do as the pan material is thin.

I like the fit, now just need to run the brake / clutch slave lines.
