johns wedge rebuild
Discussion
That is going to look the muts nuts when done John, great colour for the wedge and will look good against the chimp.
If it were me and knowing how bas he wiring loom was on my SEAC I would go through it and check its condition or just rewire it when the rest of the car is going to look so fresh but im sure you have all ready thought of that.
What's the plans for the engine, keep standard or a few upgrades.
Im just lovin it...

Now that's looking really nice John, with a nice looking brake disk in there filling the wheel will be very nice indeed
I have coil overs on the front of the SEAC and I moded the bottom wish bone to take the shock but I'm thinking I need some thing a little stronger, would you be willing to sell a set of your lower wish bones. The SEAC has adjustable camber already due to the factory welding in a boss and using a spherical bearing to a just the bottom arm.
Cheers

John, I don't want to put a dampener on things but I just hope that paint on the inside of your coolant pipe doesn't come away and clog your heater, rad or thermostat mate.
A mate of mine had a painted RV8 engine. We stuck it in his P6. It lasted 24 miles before it seized. We should have opened it up first.... They had only gone and painted the valley before putting the valley gasket on!!!
It clogged the oil strainer with bits of paint - oil was starved - bang!
Not saying yours is like that, just a funny story, is all....
