supra2 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Made a mount plate for the Tilton pedal box. The holes in the plate take some weight out and allow it to be welded to the body rail under the floor to reduce flex under hard pedal presure.

BUZ440 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 This thread is turning into a daily video diary I look forward to updates and its not even looking like a car, Mate I'm a huge fan, not only for the diversity, but the hands on approach especially to attention to detail, Thats a huge thing from me, as I'm not easily phased, Top work for wanting to stand out from the crowd, and those are things i look for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks for the support Carlos. Iam glad you are finding this stuff interesting. Steering column is in and all connected up and working. Also the roll cage steel turned up. Its CDS, cold drawn seamless from Performance Metals. They now import the stuff from Germany.

supra2 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just had a big weekend on the pipe bender. Got all the bendy bits finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 That looks pretty good! Out of curiosity what sort of pipe bender did you use? something a backyarder could aquire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsta Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 awesome work mate , can't wait to see it finished :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The bender is a Speedwerks product as is the tube notcher. Any one can buy them, but not cheap unless you plan to do a lot of work. The bender will produce a almost mandel bend. 100% better than an exhaust bend. The tube notcher cuts a perfect joint to weld. Ive built a few cages now, but working out the bend and cut angles to get a nice even close fitting cage still gives me a huge headache.

snot35 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 This build log is awesome, I wish I had half your pace! At the moment I'm not sure I'm going to make my first khana at the end of April! Keep it up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks snot35. I try to do at least 1 thing every day. Even on really busy days at work, I might pick up a new nut and bolt or bracket that Ill need later in the build. Its just 1 little thing. But suddenly at the end of the month you find your 30 jobs ahead on the build. I found it progresses the build even on days that you don't feel like doing any work. Which happens a lot.
