Shoeless GTM #501 Here we go!!!

[Shoeless]

Yeah....that really sucks on your back. Very sorry to hear that you continue to have issues and pain. Not fun stuff. I got really lucky on my back and avoided surgery and was fortunate that some anti-inflammatories and time got me back to "normal".

Looking forward to getting started on your GTM......hopefully I can match the quality you've already put into this thing!

I have all the confidence we're going to have a killer end product when done!!!

Its bitter sweet that my time of working on the GTM has come to an end, at least temporarily , after the last 6 years. She should be delivered to Shane this morning and I can't wait to see the end product.

Its been an absolute pleasure learning from those still active on the forum and I thank you for your input, it really has helped me make a better product. Here's a few pics prepping and sending her off. For those curious I used GTR Transport who I came across on one of the FF Facebook pages. Reasonably priced and great couple that do this as their retirement project. This was their first GTM.

Glad you have some security there, Sean will sleep better at night knowing no one is going to mess with his car!

I'm hoping that the steel silhouette targets in the back yard might also discourage any potential criminal activity......

Sean I love your build! I just finished reading the entire thread. Your build pics are extremely helpful to me, as I got my car as a mostly finished go kart, so now I better understand the order of how things go together and what might be around certain parts.

I love your wiring tags. Are they just printed paper with clear heat shrink over it? And do you have info on the gold heat material?

Also, looking at your body mounted with no diffuser, I think with the diffuser removed I would be able to easily access my battery where I was proposing to mount it in my other post. Thoughts?

Thank you Sir!!! I'm glad its helpful. I remember when I was researching building a GTM I loved being able to see detailed posts from everyone so I decided to document mine as best as possible.

The yellow wiring tags is actually yellow heat shrink tubing that I bought a Dymo Rhino 5200 to be able to print out and the clear tubing is a Raychem product.

You might be able to access your battery that way, but to me it would be a huge PITA. Not saying it can't be done, but for me it would just be too much of a headache. Even where my battery is is a hassle to access. I've had to take it out once for some reason and it sucked. I can't imagine if it was in the rear.

Let me ask, what's the desire to put it back there? Something different, the starting issues you may have come across, or ....?

Well two reasons for mounting it in the rear of the vehicle. Reason one is that it looks like a total pain in the *** to remove it mounted anywhere up front. And reason two is it seems redundant to have it all the way up front. Having it in the rear of the vehicle makes it closer to where any heavy battery cables and power sources need to be.

Also, where are you getting the heat shrink you're using with the 5200?
