Impressive, your efforts are humbling. Looking forward to the "fun" part, the finished paint. I just had to thoroughly clean my engine bay, and do some minor touch up paint, mostly around my brake reservoir. Came out really nice though.
I'm currently 3 seconds off the pace of the National level CAM-T drivers. new build will be around -400lbs lighter , closer to 50/50 split, 3x the power, more aero, better tires ex ex. I'm hoping this new build gets me that time.
@@EvolutionAutocrosser I'll have to see how the build goes. Luckily I race with a bunch of national level winners, so it's a good way to benchmark my times. getting REAL tired of getting gaped by Bill Zerr's 370z lol
EXACTLY what I was looking for with the clutch master cylinder hole! I’ve got 4th Gen pedals with the “C” shaped brace for the clutch pedal so that’ll take a little of the measuring work out of drilling cutting. In hindsight, was grinding down that plug necessary? Doesn’t look like it would’ve got in the way of the MC. I ask cuz unfortunately I did things backwards; I’ve already painted my engine bay. Grinding and repainting would be a pain 🤦🏻♂️
Looks really good cant wait for the final results
Good job! I like the dimples

Very impressive. Just subbed and 👍.
Lots of work going on! Great video and can’t wait to see the end result

@@3rdGenGuy impressive. I think the new build will put you in the running! More Power and grippier tires being the biggest helpers.

VERY GOOD WORK. NICE!!!
Great vid. im surprised you went all the way down to the metal everywhere. Hopefully I start sanding mines down this week.
the old paint was just so torn up.
I figured i'd do it once and never worry about it again
@@3rdGenGuy I'm on the same boat with my 92z28. Will probably end up doing the same.
Just bought a Tick MC....they owe you a commission....thanks!
Good job

i'm not 100% sure if I needed to do that or not.
But i was already there so
Did you use 4th gen pedals or third gen? Mine has the mechanical/zbar clutch and I'd really like to switch to hydraulic
I went with 3rd gen pedals, I haven't modified them for the clutch pedal rod though
Can you take some measurements I’m in the middle of doing a manual swap as well
that will be covered, but much later on.
@@3rdGenGuy okay thanks bud!
Which carbide bit are you using? Mine seem to wear out really fast on thick metal like firewall.
some cheap china bit. it's 1/4 diameter at the head.
What kind of disc was used to remove the paint?
wire wheel or a harbor freight paint strip disk.
Where did your manual brake bracket come from?
manualbrakes .com
Couldn't you used aircraft paint stripper?
I couldn't find any when I did this engine bay.
they re-released a new stripper, so there was a gap in supply.
@@3rdGenGuy It would be a lot less work.
Yes, I'm the first to make a comment. Great video.
Narrator tip- Don't speak in a sing song/up and down with your voice. It isn't natural. Otherwise doing a great job.
Wrong. His voice sounds just fine.
