72 Restomod clubracer build

it is very difficult for me to describe how much i do like this project (exception made of the colour chosen, as i do not like green for a car, but that is only my fault)

every step means a brilliant design solution, i am envious, as i am able to do with wood you seem to be able to create solutions in steel, which i can not do unfortunately

excelent work, and beautiful car, congrats

I'm only curious because I'm contemplating turning my turkis into a track/street machine like this; amazing build

The trip to the dyno didn't go as hoped , in a nut shell the car wasn't quite ready for prime time . having car that's nut street legal makes it difficult to sort stuff out before dyno or track time , so sometimes the dyno is where bugs show up . The modified fuel rail leaked and turns out I have the wrong spark plug boots . When I converted to the euro style Coil over plug , the coils are the same as an E36 M3 , what your not told is the plug boots for the two cars are different . with out the ability to put the car under load these issue didn't show up , when loaded up on the dyno they showed their ugliness !

In the meantime while Im waiting for parts to fix the above issues I continued with nagging details . Today we basically finished the windshield install . Made some clips as per the rule book and installed them

general shape of the clip cut out , , nut serts to be installed in the body and some nice cap screws to hold the clip down

front clips polished, and installed
 
Still waiting on parts to fix the fuel rail issue , in the meantime Ive been "geeking out " on some weird details .

A few weeks back I made these head light blanks , They turned out a bit sloppy and wasn't happy with them .

I had some piece's made to cover up the crappy work

humm, fake lights
nicely done, but what is the purpose ?
you do not need lights ? ok, but why do not just fit the original headlights ?
regards

#1 lost at least 20 lbs off the front of the car
#2 make room for oil line to the oil cooler
#3 the out side driver light will eventually be the air intake for the engine

Removing the lights are a given. The decals however are genius. Have you been watching NASCAR? Good thinking!

Regretfully I will not make the mitty , Kinda ran out of steam /enthusiasm for the project for the last couple of month's . waiting to long to get the injectors and injector rail sorted out . sorry guys . I did however made some progress this AM . I think I have finally gotten the injector's sorted out. the 1st set leaked , the second set didn't fit and the 3ed set seam to work.

short video of it running again
