![]() Is it still the t6 with turbo pistons or are you back to a stock 960 motor?
I have a t5 sitting at the shop but thinking of your car back at Carlsen always makes me think hard about the 6.

I still have the t6 lump, it's ostensibly destined for my 122. In 10 years. Apparently. Edit:// I have thought about making molds. I'll revisit it I guess when I'm totally done with them. I'd like to mold the rear too, but I don't know how I'd install Fiberglas parts if I ever needed to use them. Last edited by the poi; 01-03-2014 at 06:38 PM.. |

![]() On the sheetmetal work (I have this insane belief that I'll someday have fender work to do): What thickness metal did you use for the front flares? Is every teensy ass little piece fully welded? That must have been tedious. Why so many teensy pieces, vs fewer larger pieces, then shaping with a hammer/dolly? Did you leave the welding wire in place? Great job!! |

![]() I would love a set of those spindles. You should sell the design to Ben. He might actually make them.

![]() The metal is all 22ga--I ordered it from Onlinemetals--they cut it into strips for pretty cheap. The bits aren't fully welded, probably about 50%? I basically put one stitch on every other joint until it was done, so nothing ever warped. I ground down the beads on the top (for the most part) and then applied body filler on the top. Then I seam sealed all the seams on the backside, so no water intrudes under the filler. I decided to do the strips because it seemed, to be blunt, less artsy. I felt I could make the sides more symmetrical if I had something I could easily copy and mirror, and this way let me do it! Tentacle--you get those parts installed yet? I don't think I've seen it! I'm just doing a Chebby so I don't have to worry about fine-tuning. My goal is to finally just finish the damn thing so I can work on other projects. I'll be doing an E-Rod LS3, so it'll be totally smog legal, and more importantly, turn-key tuned with several thousand man-hours of engineering into it. |

![]() I've now used the stuff extensively on a few different projects and, while it's no bolt, it has worked well. As with any adhesive, surface prep is key.
One nice thing about the 116 is that, while it is a 2 part adhesive, you can apply it with a standard caulk gun (unlike many other 3M and Fusor offerings). Just be sure to buy a pack of mix tips. |

![]() Damn....great progress, love the flares, just right!
The E-Rod LS3 is an interesting and wise choice, looking at the spec sheet you just barely got in with your car being an '95 model..lucky you!
