Project "Racelook"

[Racelook]

Hahaha here is some more.

It's time for another update:

Today worked 13 hours at my car.. so it will be ready hopefully ever .

At first an pic of the last time. All the holes are drilled for welding the underplate to the chassishead.


This morning first brushed clean the places where the welds will come.

Then the fuellines "covered" with some gardenhose to avoid "making noise".

[Racelook]

And finally the plate is ON!!!!

The holes are welded with an open hole between every two welds. These "open" holes will be welded with some heavier welder.

Some grinding.

The restmaterial after replacing the napoleonhut and the underplate.


Final result viewed from the top. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/23636.jpg

Because I had to cut something of the floorpans to replace the napoleonhut, I maked them to the right size today.


The chassis would be ready today for the "doorlassen" and after that painting, wasn't it that I cut out another piece of ****. This piece of $hit was some welded in plate that I did my first time I ever welded. Totally ugly, so I cut it out again and make it soon nice.

Hi Wiebrand,

I went through your post and found it very interresting. I was wondering about the side scoop installation:
From your pics, i do not understand how you made the recessed part arround the shape on the body before putting the scoop on. Do you have more pics of that procedure?
Also, i was wondering how that the scoop interfere with the interior sides (pics?).
Finally, how does it connects with the engine compartment? (pics also?)

From your experience with these scoop, how complicated a job is it to install? Is the remmele kit comes complete, with the proper mounting instructions?

Thank you for your answers and keep on with the good work.

Hey Louis..

Here is the proces to make them fit in the car..

At first an mold is maked from wood for the "Remelle" air-intake.


The mold. So the gabs for the intake are the same size and on the same hight on both sides.

From the mold drawed on the body.

I maked it with an "verzettang". (I don't know the word of it in English)
Just like the left thing on this pic

It works like this.

The last corner of the sidepanels have to be "cut" out. You can see in the above link 1 picture of the place were the scoop will be in the inside. On the inside the scoop goes an bit to the backside. So an gab have to be cut out of the sidepanels. Sorry no other pics of that, because I'm not that far right now.

It will be connected to the enginebay with an hose of aluminium or RVS of 70/80mm in diameter. At the engine bay I wil mount at each side one plate (with an cut out hole) with an "tube" welded on that plate. This completed plate will be screwed to the firewall (were also is drilled two large holes). And also sorry to say, but no pics yet. But when the chassis comes more to the end I will be going further on the body. I will post pics as soon as I can.

At first I want to say that I don't have an Remmele set but an Remmele-look-a-like set bought by www.kevertuning.nl. You buy them without any instructions! But if you have questions you always can call Frank (verry nice guy who always want to help you).

Till now the installation is not quite complicated or so. Rustrepair is more complicated than this

Thanks Louis!!!

[Racelook]

So yesterday worked an couple of hours on the bug. I had bad luck with the heater so I had to work in the cold .. but hell yeah. 8-[

Yesterday I cut out an earlier reparation. I was to bad welded in (one of my first weldings ever).

He's out.


Then "knocked" some sheet metal, welded it in and grinded it smooth. Just like of factory Smile


The side will be welded of soon (with an heavier welder).

After that I brushed all the weldings clear so I can seam weld them soon.
