Howto: Removable apron (including adjustment access for carbs)

[Chris Percival]

I am doing something very similar with mine, except that as I am using the rear end from another car, I can overlap the panels. I also don't care too much for carb access, as my engine is already tuned and will be moving to FI eventually.

I just thought, as you probobly did, if I am going to bother making a removable apron, then I might as well cut the whole lot off...

Loius,

Nice fabrication. Anyone who's every tuned a set of Webers or Dells will appreciate the windows.

How's the car running (and braking)?

Hey Lanner! long time no chat buddy,
Thanks for the good words, coming from you that mean something. The car is in montreal since last august, thats what i needed to finally get the resources to solve my problem i guess. I tried so many things and, considering the gallons of brake oil i used to bleed the freakin setup, i wasn't too keen on dismantling it, but i was suspecting something wrong with the calipers. Finally got them out and to a brake shop. Problem was a bad piston assembly, something weird the guy never saw before.
In the mean time, i had problems with the engine-fuel system, I had to dismantle everything and that prevent me to trying the brakes ok. The season passed, the car guts are again all over the floor (did i told you before about the neverending aspect of these projects? ) but spring will be nice with a fresh new cranked-up 2075


BTW, i am quite certain I will need to remove the tire to access the carb adjustment plate, but its no big deal. If you are running with dual carbs and are into that tranformation, i strongly suggest to take the extra time and make these access plate. You'll be glad you did later.
