Sweet! Everybody loves e-brake slides. Your sunbeam will be starring in the next Fast & the Furiouster movie.

I can not believe how great this car is turning out! Frizzle you have done one amazing job so far!

propanemudtruck · 10-28-2011, 03:49 AM

You might wanna think about taking the keys outta that thing at night... I wouldn't want to have it be that easy when I come to pick it up...

hgs_notes · 10-28-2011, 07:48 AM

The way the tranny tunnel is notched right there is like it was built exactly for it. Looks outstanding.

dammitmitchell · 10-28-2011, 02:36 PM

I'd have to add the requisite body kit, wing, and big exposed intercooler

Well, it's turned sideways in the shop such that it won't simply roll out. You'd have to do a million point turn or put a floor jack under the rear. I wish the keys were a security concern...

Glad you noticed. That wasn't by accident

"first" after family (they have put up with it for three years...).

fryer1979 · 11-04-2011, 03:49 AM

Man, this this is just plain crazy. I love looking through the updates, and can't wait to see it finished.

that's a given! i'd figure the "owners" are entitled to the first "joy" rides

better watch out, the wife may enjoy it a little too much.

as for the rear sway, does the stock F-body go backwards too? or did you do that for clearance and room? are you going to do the standard bushings on a bolt for the end link? i got a set of nice blue poly bushings and links for my father in law's ranger front from rock auto. it was $20 for the set i think and really nice.

ERASER5 · 11-04-2011, 12:07 PM

Frizz, I am going to need your address so I can send the ADOPTION papers. After all, "first" after family " should include adoptees right?

Frizzle Fry · 11-04-2011, 03:57 AM

Little bit more on the ebrake-

Cable bracket mount pad:

This is the stock Honda coupler. It is to be crimped over the cables. Will crimp on final install:

Extended rod in stainless and added a Z-bend (RC airplane technology). I'll likely make a cover for the rod so it's not visible from the rear seat:

Since one of the cable holes went through two layers of sheetmetal (only half the hole) I added half of the appropriately sized washer and a full washer on the lower hole to even it out:

The uniform surface is required for a good seal with the orings:

...and made the caliper bracket spacers permanent.

Frizzle Fry · 11-04-2011, 04:10 AM

On to the rear sway bar (a must-have with such a stout front bar)

I cut up a 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird rear bar I had in the parts bin. Shortened by 1.5" and reclocked the diff clearance/ends. Note: all length removed from driver's side due to the offset diff D44:

Burned in and smoothed out:

Tube-stock begets bracket (focus fail, I know)

x2:

Chillin at the bar:

and tacked in (end-links next)

propanemudtruck · 11-04-2011, 06:03 AM

That's so awesome!

thor · 11-04-2011, 12:37 PM

The brackets that attach the sway bar to the axle are really clean!

dammitmitchell · 11-04-2011, 01:22 PM

If i owned a restoration shop i would pay you very well... just .. just to even touch a projet id be excited.. like a teenage girl at a RnB concert....

im so jealous..

jmedero · 11-21-2011, 11:56 PM

OMG!! Nice work man.

What about flying home from 1/2 way around the globe makes you think there could be any updates...?

Just my poor attempt at humour. I'm glad you made it home ok.

I'll just go sit in the corner and be quiet for a while.
