Progress Thread Project Copper Can

[MikeH686]

So the new piston has finally come in along with a new set of rings for it as well. Going to put it back together and sell it off. I'm also leaning towards changing the color of the car greatly. Don't worry I'm just going to do a vinyl wrap so the copper color will still be there underneath. With that I need some help here from you guys. I have picked a few colors all varying from bland to wow. Let me know what y'all think I'll put the names underneath each picture and just let me know

TIFFANY BLUE

ATOMIC TEAL

BLACK ROSE

CINDER SPARK RED

CARRIBEAN SHIMMER

GLACIER FROST

1. Tiffany blue
2. Black rose

I like both of those equally, if you want it to be different pick #1. If you don't want a drastic color swap, pick#2

Caribbean shimmer is different, i might like it a lot, but i'm not sure off of one picture.

 

[MikeH686]

@Davedacarpainter here's some more carribean shimmer

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I like it. I'm a sucker for that satin finish as well.

Not on a fox....

The teal or the rose color would be my pick.

im with Dave on the Blue and/or Rose color. Rose being #1 choice for me. If you have to change it in the first place lol. I like the copper color.

 

[MikeH686]

@A5literMan I also like the copper color I just want a change for a little bit. I'm gonna be doing this work myself and the rolls of 5'x75' is only 600 bucks so it won't be so hard in the wallet region

Have you installed wraps before? Please do take pictures as I am interested in this as well for my car. I tried the Plasti-Dip thing and it lasts for about 2 years. Looking for another plan now...

 

[MikeH686]

@stanglx2002 never done it before but my buddy just did it on their race car and he said it's not hard just gotta take your time. Here's how his turned out.

 

[MikeH686]

I guess I should update this since @A5literMan convinced me too. I've got the dart block still sitting in my living room waiting on my new zero balance rotating assembly.

So far I'm going with dart block
Lunati voodoo crank and rods
Wiesco piston kx167x125
A set of ported dart pro1 heads 190 ported to equal 210's.
Trying to figure out specing a camshaft
Still going to use my edelbrock victor jr intake with Wilson elbow.
160 Bosch injectors
And my exsisting turbo setup.

I was able to get my lift installed late last night and the car is in the air. No more laying on my back I'm so excited.

That is a badass setup! Congratulations!

 

[MikeH686]

Thanks just been waiting for what seems like ever (5) weeks for the rotating assembly

 

[RangerJoe]

Love the lift. That car is going to scream. Was there a typo in that text? Did he mean 330cfm and not 230?

Joe

 

[MikeH686]

I'm not really sure is 230 low?

 

[RangerJoe]

That's about what a set of well ported gt40's flow. I think that was a typo. I would expect that they flow near 300 or better. Either way, boost is a great equalizer.

Joe

 

[RangerJoe]

Maybe I misread his text. It's possible that he was referring to the exhaust only numbers. If so, you are in good shape!

Joe

 

[MikeH686]

Yes the 203 is on the exhaust side intake is 298

 

[TOOLOW91]

Brian Freezy is the man with the cam stuff . Nick and I both use him. Nick put me on to him .

His personal turbo car has been 7s and looks like a 12 sec streeter on welds

 

[MikeH686]

I will have to look into him for sure.

So my crank and rods from lunati have finally come in after 3 weeks.

Hopefully my wiesco pistons show up today

 

[MikeH686]

Pistons came in finally!! God why does something so beautiful have to get covered up.....
