Hey Blunt, I will send you an email when I get home for more bits...

Can I get an idea on how much Dynamat you used to cover your floor etc? I'm about to put an order in...

Any other tips? Do I need a roller?

i didnt use dynamat but rather this stuff called "EDEAD"

http://stores.ebay.com/Elemental-Designs theres the ebay store.

i have 120 sq ft of that stuff and it comes with a roller. i have 2 and 3 layers of the stuff. it goes down nice and is rated well. i also have small amounts of fatmat and dynamat in there that i had left and edead is equally nice to work with as the other products.

gotta love it when your Pa comes over to help out.

my dad is 80 and still loves to tinker.

Thanks for that info Blunt!

When I get my real computer back, I will send you an email to order some more bits....

man blunt.. once I get on my buddies comp w/dsl i'm totally going to check this out. On the dialup its painful!!!

[BLUNT]

thanks z, its been 2 weeks since i touched it except for some small stuff i can do at the kitchen table. just too busy. my struts and trailing arms will be done this week so i can really get going once its on the ground on wheels and tires

DUDE!!

I just cleaned up the clutch that came w/your engine. Man its totally cherry!!! I don't think its ever been used. The PO must have put it in right before you guys pulled the engine or something.

It looks like one of those sach's aftermarket racer type clutches .. heavy dudy and the pad is -- well .. its either a virgin or has only played around on first base a few times

bonus!! I totally thought i'd have to buy a new kit but no!

[BLUNT]

nice, the clutch is much like i was in high school. i hope the rest of the motor is as good.

beatiful car Blunt....good job

[BLUNT]

i got the big brakes on the front less the dust caps. these things are really made nicely. overkill for my needs but they look badass thru the panasports. i would have thought the venting would be running the other way but they are marked left and right.

i got the rear trailing arms in also but dont have the disks on the rear yet. this is the first day ive worked on it in 3 weeks. feels good

Mine look so small now......... I'm guessing those wouldn't fit under 13's.

im compensating john. they wont fit under 13's in fact i doubt theyd fit under 14's. they fill the 15's up nicely

Could you happen to get a measurement from the center of the hub to the highest point on the caliper? I have a old set of wheels at the shop I want to see if they will fit with no or little saving to the caliper or no need for a spacer. Thanks!

[TMK-001]

Thats what I like to see... now do you want to pull them to bits and make an FAQ about how to put them together :-P

Cant wait to get mine! Just need to get some rims and I will be laughing.

Great to see you are back into it, that has to be a good sign for you dad as well... keep us posted.
