Koen, the car looks fantastic :thumbs:. The website seems hard to navigate though

Well, the front end is all bolted up. Thanks to a tip by Locost V8, I went to sears and bought a digital level (with zero reset). I made camber measurement very easy. I've already realized my upper aarm design pretty much sucks for adjustment. It has to be taken off and adjusted. I do have a better design in mind, but it'll have to wait until after 7/7/7 Wiring and dash tomorrow, and maybe I can take her for a spin Sunday or Monday.

Who has one here? What brand/feature/price? Anything I should look for or avoid?

it took my friend to come over and keep pumping the brakes. There may still be a little more left in there, but they're in decent shape now. I'll be putting all the final bolt hardware on tonight. It will all have to come apart again for cosmetic cleanup, etc... but after my test drive. I did drive her up and down the driveway today. :thumbs:

Serious

:rofl: I wonder how many beers it took to draw that one up. There is ALWAYS somebody faster.

Wile7, welcome to our little corner. Look forward to more pics

Welcome aboard :seeya:

Well, another day of falling short of my goals :nonod: Plan for tonight was to completely finish the brakes (after tracking down all the right adaptors all week). Everything is in place, but the damn thing won't bleed all the air out. I think the master drained too low, and needs to be bled, or there are trapped bubbles somewhere. I will get a vacuum bleeder tomorrow and try with that. I will also be getting the right springs, and some nuts and bolts to get this thing tight and ready for a test drive. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1878635734_CIMG1524.JPG

Sounds like a good excuse for a nice drive Enjoy :cheers:

beautiful :thumbs:

I saw that on one of the Discovery channels. Pretty amazing stuff. If he knew what had happened, he would've crashed for sure :lol:

well, I'm sort of in that process :jester:

Some days are just frustrating. Apparently I ordered left hand thread bolts from McMaster instead of right hand thread :banghead: Speedshop got the right brake hose :hurray: but forgot to order the adaptor piece I needed to go with it. I think I worked on the car about 2 hours today, and got NOTHING done.

I'm going to lock this one up, to avoid parallel threads... Here's Jeffs: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=888 :cheers:

My upper aarms... http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2124918922_CIMG1521.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1094231330_CIMG1522.JPG

Looks like the local speedshop has what I need. I'm waiting for the parts to come in today. While waiting on that, I decided to wrap up the wiring and fired up the computer. All the wiring is routed, and 90% of it is in loom. Just have final clean up left. I fired up my new (to me) LCD. I think I'm going to be very happy with this one, although it is heavy. Unlike my old one, you can easily read this in direct sunlight (pointed directly at the sun, high noon). Notice the brightness even with the drop light right near it. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1779066783_CIMG1520.JPG

Cool Andrew. As soon as my final bolt hardware comes in, I'm going to take an initial crack at the setup. The high caster idea seems to make alot of sense.

:hurray: roll a 7 is back

Doug great to meet you and the rest of the gang. See you on 7/7

Perhaps there was a trade of some type involved.

That thought did cross my mind... not a big deal if I have to do it.

You can have my braided one... I'm sure aeroquip is somewhere, but don't know where. I do know where Grainger is, so will be stopping there today.

Is the stud for the main battery connection at the back of the alternator? Perhaps that's the problem.
