Is that bushing/bearing at the firewall a separate piece that's still available? TonyG |

Plus it seems that there is some sort of bearing/bushing at the firewall that seems to have a lot of slop. I can't compare that to my current red car because it's all put together.

TonyG It goes through this piece behind the pedal cluster, through firewall. http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMAG0155-1.jpg And this bearing is pressed over the steering rod /shaft. Need the bearing. I think there is some rubber or plastic spacer/collar in between this piece and the one above that deteriorates. But I don't have that anymore, I think It fell apart and out the first time I removed the steering shaft. http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMAG0154-1.jpg |
Exactly. I don't think my red car has play in it, but I can't tell because it's all together. But the yellow car had a lot of play right there. I figured I'd start looking now for a replacement just in case.

Do you mean these guys Tony? Cuz I'm having the same problem. Right at the firewall.

Hey Tony, I saw your shell over at Ajax's a week or so ago. Had no idea it was yours. Woulda left a six pack or something in it for you for all the help you've been...

Ajax Sandblasting in Van Nuys, around 7/11 or so. Sure looked like your pics.
|
Actually, Ajax didn't have any of those other cars that I see in the background of your pics, maybe there's another yellow race 944 in the works.
|
That's odd in light of the fact that my tub is actually at a sand blast shop... just a different shop.
These pics are from today. TonyG http://www.tonygarcia.org/vision.951....blaster.1.jpg http://www.tonygarcia.org/vision.951....blaster.2.jpg |
Awesome project! Congrats on getting Landjet's car.
|
Ya, now that I think about it I think the tub I saw still had the rear fenders attached. I was in a hurry. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your build!
|
Looking forward to seeing this come together!

All I can say is that i hope that they are bead blasting, soda blasting or dry ice blasting. Sand blasting is difficult to control the removal of substrate. I restored two 1970 trans am's, one we used bead blasting, the other we baked off the exiting paint and sealers then dipped in e coat. I do have considerable experience in all three applications. In my business we regularly soda and dry ice blast.
good luck |
You are clearly going to do the car Justice Tony. What color are you going to paint it? Mine should be getting paint in the next day or two. Regular 'Ole white for the interior. Should be done by the end of the week.

good luck This tub is very bare. and with the fact that it's a semi-tube frame, and the fact that all the floor pan is cut out and flattened... there's really not much of a place for sand to hide. Always something.... TonyG |

The car is getting sand blasted. It will be out on Wednesday. Then Thursday we are going to modify the side Nascar style door portion of the cage (it's too big to get out with a Hans...). And I'm going to install a couple of chromo bars behind the driver left to right to keep the gas tank from being planted into my back if I park the car at 100mph into a wall..... Then Friday it's going to get completely powder coated (everything top to bottom to interior except the exterior roof skin). Gun metal metallic grey! The powder coater has the matching paint to give the paint shop so they can match the interior portion of the fiber glass doors. Plus... they even have matching paint in a spray can so I can do touch ups as necessary :-) So the car will be metallic gun metal grey on the interior, the engine compartment, the bottom of the chassis and the rear tube frame portion of the chassis. The exterior will be a red.. darker than Guards red. More of a blood red with white graphics. TonyG |
