Body Work Continues

More body work happening. The front primed for additional sanding

Side window replaced with NACA Ducts

These will be used as the cold air intake for the engine

An inline air filter will be connected as well as a screen to keep

large pieces out. NACA Ducts were attached using 3M Panel Bonding Epoxy

Rear view also showing the exhaust cutouts and the rear wheel vents

Front side marker cutouts. This will house an LED yellow marker in the front

and a red marker in the rear

Body Work Starts

Started the body work, actually our friend Ray did.Sanding everything and fixing the join seams. There are definitely quality control problems in the molds. A few of the parts were not shaped properly and we even found a hole in the fiberglass at the front of the body that, if not fixed, would have cracked through.

We filled in the front emblem to create a smooth look.

The lower fog lights will be converted to air intake ducts for the front brakes.

The hood louvers will be filled with the ones from vraptorspeedworks as well as the front grill

The underside has been coated with Second Skin Spectrum using a undercoating gun

The same Second Skin Spectrum has been used on the entire underside of the body

Extra has been sprayed into the wheel wells for extra protection

This gives the body sound dampening as well as strength. It also has heat resistance and viscoelasticity to prevent breakage

Here is the hole in the front

The front corners are so thin that this happened

Here is the corner before being reinforced

This is the other corner after being reinforced

Work Again Continues

After taking 2.5 years off to pay back taxes, I am finally starting up on my build.
I have scrapped the 2010+ 997.2 porsche PDK Gearbox due to having no luck finding the 2 circular plugs required to wire the PDK to the PDK ECU. I have everything else but cannot find those and the harness from Porsche is about $5k and I'm not doing that.
Also I would have to get custom axles and I'm not doing that either.
I decided to go with a Mendeola S5B sequential gearbox. It will require no additional configuration and my existing Z06 axles will fit perfectly.

While I was waiting I have done much watching and searching for parts and components and have revised my build. I guess that's what happens when you wait and new technology comes out.
I am ditching the standard water pump for a remote mount water pump that is all AN fittings.
As well as ditching the standard radiator for a billet aluminum that is all AN fittings.
Also I have found a 7" Android stereo and high quality servos I am going to use to shift my Mendeola S5B gearbox so I can use the paddle shifters on the AIM-Sport GT Steering Wheel I'm getting.

I am starting to work on the body since I cannot afford my gearbox yet.
Posts to follow when I accomplish something.
