LOL @ the new sig image.

so i might have a core support for you soon? but i has some holes cut in it for intercooler pipes by the headlights (not by me, the previous owner wanted to retain the a/c).

[Keito]

Since the hood is damaged are you just waiting to put a cowl
hood on there?

[Turbodave]

Jaren, just a reminder that there is a full core support in my barn if you need one. Also have hood, fenders etc.

ive got something worked out w/ Andy right now for this weekend, how ever Dave if that doesnt work out, ill be in touch w/ u on that stuff, i am going to need a set of head light doors and a grill....

and we may be discussing turbos here shortly....

]...but each 16V L-body I see, I dont mind my big heavy Daytona so much

[Irocelectric93]

LOL... I vote 2.2L here. An L-body makes your Sebring's engine compartment look roomy! Dont get me wrong, it will fit, but each 16V L-body I see, I dont mind my big heavy Daytona so much

Im no 2.4 dude but i love my heavy Daytona

oh i love my g bod as well...no doubt!!! esp for a street car

UPDATE!!!



ok so i been working on the front end, getting her all straight, and decided to do a bolt on core support.....check other thread....

well in the mix of making this all work, i decided hmmmm maybe i should do a i piece removable clip.....after pondering for a bit...this is what i came up w/...












i did notice i do have to now reinforce the cross member.... im still going to bolt the bracket on the bottom up and the bumper plate will the the cs to the frame...and the 4 fender bolts on top and i think just "hidden" bolt....

i have a set of glh side skirts but im undecided if i want to run them w/ the 1 piece, as id have to cut the to have the first 8 inches come off w/ the fender...so i may run w/o them, mabye pop a mold off em....or just say f'it and upset the purest's.....

but i like it its different, deff will be efficient, esp if i replace most the bolt w/ Dzus clips....

[turbokid]

thats an awesome idea. good work. Will make certain jobs a breeze when you can just remove the entire front clip!

[22shelby]

havent updated in a while.... havent done much... i did however start my wire harness project, im planning on running the SBEC i got inside the car, so so extending and cutting are necessary....














i also did the 5 lug swap on the car....

using 85 GLH stuff...











^^^ pizza time!!!!!






im going to continue on the wire here.... and will be mounting the computer shortly...then start wiring up the car....

and like i stated on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...ed#!/2.2Shelby)

this will be a street car!!!! working street legal stuff on the car....

If the only difference between the drums was 4lug vs 5lug, you can do the swap just by changing out the hub and the drum and leave all the backing plate and hardware stuff alone. I swapped my 85 new yorker to 5lug this way.

[22shelby]

DOH!!!!!!!!!!! i was wondering that myself.... i pulled the backing plates and spindles, as the GLH shoes and hardware were new....

however thanks for the tip, i will remember this on the next one...

[OmniLuvr]

how bout the new rear bumper?

[22shelby]

i thought about a rear bpr, but im going to keep this a light weight...

im not 100% but i think they had the 200mm drums on the back, when the 5 lug conversion will get ya 220 rears

[22shelby]

ill have to get out my trusty metric to standard measuring tape and check both... never looked twice at em, just took the whole thing...

[OmniLuvr]

it looked like you had something mocked up in the pizza picture is why i asked...
