And it begins..."The Flash" Build Thread

[Erik W. Treves]

yup that's what I did...you can seethe shock sitting on the ground in the picture.

[RM1SepEx]

Erik, what are you running for alignment specs?

[Erik W. Treves]

1/16 front and rear toe, 1.5 camber and 3.5 caster front. Rear toe 1/16, 0.75 rear camber

[RM1SepEx]

I've went back through your thread and a couple questions came up

Where did you get the latch that you use for the hood? post # 521

Do you have a photo somewhere showing the hood hinge pins in the front of the hood and how you installed the pivots into the sides?

I can't find a clear photo of your exhaust... did you use any CAT or muffler?

[Erik W. Treves]

Dan. The latch is a mini bear claw. Bought it off Amazon and never used them. I do not have a cat installed, just a muffler I got through Wayne.

Well I set the cross weights...I was wondering what all my mods cost me in weight.. F/R Hinges, ABS, Stereo, Wiper and fluid (1/2 full), Full Carpet, Bonded rear deck, custom AWIC with twin heat exchangers, paint...on and on...

here it is before I sat in it (Full sweats and after breakfast ) and did the cross weights with 8 gallons of gas



here it is with me in it and cross weight set





still on the list

1) Spray bed liner in all the wheel wells...and coat the exposed fiber glass.
2) install door panels - getting covered
3) Get registered - in process

I can't view the pictures any more, is it only me?
If it's not just me, it is possible to post again? Or write down the numbers.

tnx

Erik, did you manage to sell the car?

[Erik W. Treves]

yep!

[coloskydiver]

Erik, did you manage to sell the car?

What car did you sell? Not your 818 I hope.

[thestigwins]

Yes he sold the 818.

[Erik W. Treves]

I sold the 818 and am selling the cobra also....getting ready for the next build!

[Erik W. Treves]

Well, the new owner finally arrived to come check his new ride....hopefully he will comment on his own...he looked pretty happy to me. For sure he is great guy and I could not think of a better home for the car to go to....you can imagine his smile in the video...the video is a little long, but it was cool to look at it through the rear view mirror...we went out for lunch and then home....great day.

[Frank818]

I must admit, the car looks really impressive. Both cars, but obviously been on the 818 forum and currently building one I prefer to talk more about the 818.

[R.Spec]

How did you do the wiper!? excuse my post i haven't had a chance to read through your whole build if it is in there.

[Erik W. Treves]

it's in the thread....I just made it. I hacked up the stock one a then re-welded it back together...works great!

[bbjones121]

FFR is working on wiper kit. Haven't heard any status in a while though.

[bbjones121]

Hey Erik, Do you have any low rear end photos showing off the tire width?

[Erik W. Treves]

This is the only one I have...I adjusted the pic so you can make out the tires

[bbjones121]

Awesome. Thanks Erik.

[Flamshackle]

Awesome. Thanks Erik.

Sorry to resurrect this but What a pain all the images have gone from this thread. Is there any way to restore them?

[Bob_n_Cincy]

I can still see them
Make sure you are logged onto the forum.

[Frank818]

Yes me too, I do see them. They seem to be hosted on this forum, not an outside link.
