Off to the blasters next and that will never happen again, stretched the roof which was the only goo part of the original shell.
![]() And into red brown. ![]() While the body was still on the rotisserie Dean and I decided to paint the interior, underneath, eng bay and boot in gloss black seeing as the next step was roll cage. At this point the car finally came off the rotisserie and back onto it's wheels, for semi assembly to allow the rollcage to be fitted. Car mocked up including race dash made earlier. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rollcage being fitted.... ![]() ![]() |

Todays installment. Making racer parts. 1st up I have turned up a fuel cap that looks like a dry break filler for fuel. 1979 was the 1 year these were a safety requirement.
![]() ![]() Here's a pic of a real one ![]() It will mount under the hole in the boot lid ![]() Next up I have had to make press on spigots for the rear axles so the wheels locate correctly. This was made necessary due to the size of the front hubs. Pics of these when I have them ![]() ![]() This pic shows me holding the finished spigot against an axle. They press fit on then have a keep screw in the centre. One the diff is assembled I'll take a pic for the whole deal. Next I have made up some washers to tidy up how the front spoiler mounts. The spoiler has 4 only to hold it on and with a speed brace take less that a minute to take off the car. ![]() ![]() More soon |

Update. More work over the weekend. Diff 1st.
![]() ![]() Set the diff Centre up, Eaton Tru Trac Locker, new version of Detroit Locker. Took some doing to get the pinion preload right and the Daytona Pinion support needed to be modified to fit the housing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Housing painted showing brackets for upper control arms, panhard mount, sway bar mount, temp sender and oil cooler line fittings. With the upper arms now added the Panhard rod is for display purposes only so the car looks original. I will be able to use either it or the upper arms, not both together. Also, started on engine block prep. Oil restricter kit fitted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, removed casting marks in the valley for the oil to flow back to the sump better and tapped out all the bolt holes ![]() ![]() The oil restrictors will sit about 5mm below the surface when finally installed. |
