Convette Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) welp I'm really shooting for it. I have to go to SF before vegas to get my things out of my apt that I still have there. Yeah I'm only 5'10 and still its tight with a helmate on in the car. The seat is as far forward as it can be, and as low as possible... Its really comfortable though. Ergonomically everything is where it should be. I'm going to have it running and hopefully put a good 500 miles on it before the trip. Its not going to be fully complete, but done enough to drive till the end of the summer. and its gonna be in a lot mags...

rosengrant826 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 damn john this thing truly is a piece of art, now you say 500 miles before your journey to cali, does that 500 miles count as miles back to your moms house to show her and your dad the car and then to my house to show me ?

Convette Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 thanks for the invite. If I make it there I'll hit you up. Got a little bit done last night, cut out for the switches, ebrake and shifter. I modified the stock ebrake to work with the old clutch master cylinder. Its pretty cool. lol http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1170.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1172.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 LOL... nice ebrake, kinda looks like you push down on it. So, looks like I'm third in line for a ride... BUT first in line for driving... LOL!! -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 welp.... hate to call it but I'm not going to make it to Vegas. It just got crazy at work (OT till the end of the year), and I'm really not going to have enough time to make it all work. Sorry to dissapoint you guys. I won't be making the trip till the spring when things settle down a bit. I'm still pushing to get it done for this season, and I might be making the trip to Pa instead. Sucks but can't turn down work. OT = Car parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drwojo Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Love that money! Keep up the paper. Bills are parts and more (if at all possible) mods. Bummer on the Vegas trip though. How hard was it to mod the master cylinder to the e brake? Or did you use the old slave cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you use the old slave cylinder? its really not bad at all, I just need a welder to weld up a bracket for it. I'd show you if weren't so busy all the time... j/k lol I go the rad hoses last night, after about an hour of searching through the auto parts stores. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1182.jpgalso got my rad support built.http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1181.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think carbon and suede....mmmm I also got a butt load of parts in the mail today..
