I love your engine bay and additional frame bracing off the strut towers. Definitely don't see many people add more bracing for hp builds. Awsome work. What are you planning on for the paint/wrap on the exterior?

Thanks for the kind words..


Well I plan to wrap my car. Bouncing around three colors now.. First choice to wrap her Brushed Black Metallic, Second Choice is a Satin White Pearl or last choice is just wrap her a nice bright white..


Your thoughts?

rustyschopshop

all 3 colors would be nice, any white colors will help hide any imperfections.

You are thinking about leaving the white eh? I am a huge fan of the Brushed Metalic Black idea

So from your comment it sounds like you like White better.. but your okay with the Brushed Metallic if I decide to go with it..

Man I am really on the Fence with this cause I love white but want a change.. I think it will look really mean with a all black look but I love the contrast of the black wheels and white body..

You and me see this eye to eye. I think a clean white car with all the right black pieces and wheels is sexy as ***!

Okay guys finally some update. I finally was able to finish my brake lines, with family life, work it was hard to get to the car. I just ordered parts every week until I had everything to smash it out in pretty much one day.



Before we get started I decided to showcase this Cognac instead of beer. (since I have not had a decent beer in month). Anyways, my mother In-law picked up this Hennessy Pure-White when she went on a cruise. They don't sale these state side so it was a treat. This is probably the smoothest Hennessy I have ever tried..



Okay, so I got a little OCD with the brake lines. I made bulk head fittings for the firewall and the rear wheel wells. This way if I need to do anything it well be quick and easy and over all its just a cleaner look.









Going to be running -3an lines and fittings..



Okay lets getting started, have to have my guilty pleasure





Started my installing the new -3an fittings on the BMC





added a little 90 degree bend right here so it would not hit my filter on my heads.



Added to bulkhead fittings here. One goes to the rear and the other goes to the passenger side.





This is the view behind the firewall to run to the passenger side.





And out the other side, did not want a lot of clutter in the bay..




Ran two Banjo fittings for the fronts..





Fronts are done..






To do the rears I had to make a tube straighter for the hard lines that go to the rear. Did not want to buy a $200 tool so made my own.. Came out good..



Started from the firewall and heading to the rear.



And yep found me some black hardline.. Just had to do it..





Coming up on the tee.. yeah I need to clean the car.. once everything is done interior will be cleaned



Here you will see both the tees for my MBC and my Hydro E-Brake





Had both sides running the the bulkheads in the wheel well..





Close up





And the other side of the wheel well






And rears done..


Now just have to bleed them and get ready to head to a alignment shop.. But before I go I will swap out my Clutch Master Cylinder for the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder that Sikky sales. Reason for this is the OEM Cylinder can't handle the T56 clutch..

Tell next time guys..

Do you ever fire it up and rev it a few times just to remotivate yourself?

Royal_T

Hahaha its funny you say that, cause I just started her the other day. The neighborhood kid was riding his bike around the culdesac when I started it, the car was so loud the kid just stopped and starred at me like "WTF!!" What was too funny..


But yeah from time to time I do start her up, but since the brakes are done now, I might be able to drive her around the block. But have to swap out the Clutch master cylinder first.

So, after the master cylinder and an alignment, you should be good to go minus some body work right?

Royal_T

iTrader: (9)

So yeah after the Master cylinder and alignment, then its dyno time. Once I am done with that.. I will plan for a test and tune session (kill all tires)


I also just recently sat down with the people that are going to be doing my wrap. We should be planning on doing a cool Timelapse video of that and other goodies.. So stoked for that..

Classy

iTrader: (7)

Awesome! Will we get to see you out this year or will it be 2016? I looked into the wraps, that is a lot more expensive than I expected

Royal_T

iTrader: (9)

Hoping I get to test and tune this year. I'll rent out the track with a couple of other friends.. Shoot I might do that before the wrap. But I will def keep you guys posted on that.



And yeah getting the car wrapped proper by someone can be expensive. If you do it your self you can save a ton. To buy the wrap is like $500 and that will wrap your car like 3 times.

Where would you test at? Not such a bad thing to have extra wrap, especially on a drift car

Royal_T

iTrader: (9)

I will most likely test a Mineral Wells.. (nothing to hit..LOL), As I know with the whole new setup I will be spin city out there.. But having a blast relearning my car.
