That Yoke is a work of art, this makes me think all the restores im working on are just no fun lol, I need to get iinto some custom builds

Thanks William, it is going a bit slow right now. I finished machining all my aluminum parts and tore the car completely apart. I will be dropping my aluminum off at an anodizer to be coated hard black. When the parts return, I will begin the final assembly. I am still waiting on my MR4-BX slipper plate to arrive so I can begin the final machining work on a slipper clutch.

My next update will be after the ano is complete and the beginning of the final product.

Sound like you need to start a new project...

It has been a while since I had an update on this one. I got my parts back from the anodizer and they turned out great. I started the final assembly on most of the car. I still have to make the slipper shaft and a few parts for the rear of the car. I hope to get this one done soon. The amount of work I have put in this car is starting to weigh me down.

I am thinking I need to dye the steering bellcranks black.. The off white just does not fit the theme of the car.

Enjoy the pics and I hope to have more updates soon.

Looking great Jake, cant wait for the slipper.

Looks killer, We will have to see some before and after pics lol

I hope to be rounding the corner on this one and should be calling it done very soon. I made a few changes to my original plan since my slipper clutch plans did not work out. I acquired a one way spur shaft from Reggie (tahnk you) which is now installed in the car. I have to make some new hubs for the front but that should be a pretty easy task. Other than that, I just need to get the new hinge pin holes drilled and get the rear arms mounted.

I rebuilt the shocks for the car. I turned down the hexes and had the shock bodies ano'd hard black.

I also got the rear wing mounted with the aluminum wing buttons and wing mounts I also machined.

Not much left to do on this one. Stay tuned for the final pics coming soon.

that's not wing wire Jake

That is all I had

well, at least you can put in the closet when you are finished driving it, and it would still be appropriate

I figured you guys would get a laugh out of that. The guy has all these fancy tools and is using a POS to wing wire. It holds the wing perfectly fine and will stay like it is

I think it adds character......maybe not

Jake

If its not a wing wire what is it then ????
