The final disassembly stages, the car is almost completely apart. The parts are all being labeled for rebuilding. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
the body is ready for final paint striping and then it will be blasted with reclaimed glass and then with crushed walnuts. The walnuts will remove the paint in the tight spots without damaging the body. While our body man works on the body, the mechanical systems will be rebuilt. Image Unavailable, Please Login
That is going to look magnificent once done. I really like this thread. thank you for posting your progress
This car may be a candidate for our big brake set-up big brakes for a 308, six piston front and four piston rear 12.25 diameter rotors front and rear 1.25 thick floating rotor in front 0.81 thick floating rotor in rear Image Unavailable, Please Login
Your correct Bernie but these brakes can come off any time and there is no mods to be made to the car. they are three times the braking force of the originals and weigh less than the stock units. They will not fit under the 14 inch wheels
Do they work off the std mastercylinder ? Or are you going to fit a dual with brake bias adjustment ? If so what about the booster ? Brake kit looks superb Lots of us are enjoying this , thanks Rock
Great thread. Its always a treat to see the progress of these cars comming back to life, cant wait to see the reassembly pics.
Dave, the brakes have been tested with the stock master and booster set up for steet/ track use, and we also set them up with duals masters and no booster with a manual bake balance bar for a full track. The stock booster system weighs more but cost less to set up. red knob on the dash is for the brake balance Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Its like climbing a mountain, when you reach the top and start to desend. We are still climbing, when the car is painted and all the systems are rebuilt then we start to reassemble then we are in the descend mode.
The updates are coming, we have five big projects on the go so they all seem to be moving along slowly.
No month holiday, a picture tells a thousand words. Were are extremely busy. Updates on the euro gtb will be posted once I sort through the photos. Image Unavailable, Please Login
your right a regular picture tells a thousand words - but a pic with 4 daytonas tells a few million words
well some time has past since the last update, the body was stripped to bare metal and the panels were metal finished Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
some additional photos of a near perfect body, the paint was removed with chemical stripper and then the body is metal finished with 80 grit paper not 40 grit. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
