how is the 240 coming along?

 

The focus is shifting back on it. The marriage is complete and the major house reno is complete.

I pulled my wife into making composite body panels with me. I posted on my thread of some of it.

 

Good news all around, congrats on tying the knot!

 

Getting close to completion!!!

 

Looks great!

 

ALMOST!

 

 

Ha bringing it back from the dead ehhh?
Quite a bit of work has been done!
Gussets, paints, solid rear subframe bushings, solid trans and engine mounts, battery relocated to rear... I'm probably missing a few things. Here are some pictures!

 

Damn! Busy man. Its's looking like a race car!

 

All electrical issues resolved! Car starts now Back to making hood/doors. Cant wait to get it out on track!!!!

 

Starting to make doors... goddamn even a fully gutted stock door is heavy as $HIT!

 

Badass, I assume you got the weight? Looks great.

 

Make me an extra set while you're at it!

 

Slapped windshield on yesterday as well as trim! Almost ready to go. Need to find some scales to corner balance!!! Anyone in Michigan willing to help out?
Things left to do: finish doors, install aerocatch hood latches, corner balance and paint!!! Can't wait to beat the he'll out of it

 

Painted the hatch and lean. Didn't do any sanding or filling so it doesn't look fantastic but road tested it holds up great. Car is going to get repeated with paint matching the hatch so it'll look better.

 

Not perfect but got another 10lbs off the front end. That's a victory in my book.

 

that's a victory in my book too!

 

Quality is getting better with each piece. 3lbs a piece and solid as a rock. Might not need reinforcement!

 

Reinforceced hood with wrap and all comes in at 12lb... 11lbs off stock Good. Result!

 

with my mild steel hood vents my OEM hood is down to ~19lbs ... 4lbs less is the best I could do...

Do you run lexan windows? Trying to figure out how to delete the 40lbs of window motors/regulators, glass, panel and still have a hard-mounted/non-opening lexan window.
