HR #353....2 years on.

[Barrel]

I took delivery of #353 on Christmas eve 2011 and until now I have not posted any pics of my build. But I retired four months ago and things have progressed well since then. I hope to install the engine and trans in January and will post again when that has been done. Until then these pics will have to do!
Cheers and a Merry Christmas to you all.
Neil

Awesome, what type tires are those ? I like! BF Goodrich

[Tom Veale]

Those QA1 Shocks and Springs look nice up front. Keep us posted on your progress. I got close to the 10K mile mark on my '33 this year, but weather closed in and now it's hibernating until our Spring here in Wisconsin.

Happy Retirement, too!

This shot shows the right hand drive rack and pinion and how it has been installed as well as the steering shafts. You can also see the required gusseted chassis crossmember under the footboxes.http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q498/NeilHussey/DSC00065_zps7f052bca.jpg (http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/NeilHussey/media/DSC00065_zps7f052bca.jpg.html)
First pic of the coyote engine in place. The standard coyote headers have been modified but it all fits! Trans is a Tremec 6 speed (TR-6060 )
Cheers,
Neil

Looking good mate, I like the chassis colour and wheel combo. Your steering rack is a different set up to mine which is mounted using vertical bolts through additional tabs welded to the plate, do you have a part number for it ? Im away with work so cant post any pics. The pedal box mount is also different.

[maczter]

Really nice looking build!

[Barrel]

The steering rack is a custom build by Unisteer and so it doesn't have a part number. It was built to the dimensions supplied by me.

Some photos of custom exhaust system.

This pic shows the ceramic coated Coyote headers that with some modifications I have used in my build. The exhaust system has been coated inside and out.

I also ceramic coated the Magnaflows (outside only). This shot also shows how RHD affords plenty of space for the clutch pedal to clear the trans. cover.

Looks Good Neil !!! Have you tried the seal I sent you yet. Other parts on the way soon.

Very nice
That shot also shows how much room there is for the bigger mufflers in the stock location.
They should offer the gusset for those of us that want to push their chassis to it's limit
Great job on the pictures, keep em coming.

Thanks Tim and yes the bearing seals are just fine. I will slide them onto the shafts and fit them up to the billet covers and post a shot of them next time. They look cool too.
Cheers mate,
Neil.

[Tim Whittaker]

Thanks Neil. I'll get the other stuff to you as soon as I can. Right now, my real job is getting in the way of my production in the shop.

Here are some recent shots of HR 353's wiring. I'm not running A/C or P/S and won't be installing a sound system. I went with the Honda alternator as you can see. My auto electrician, Chris Fahey, has done a great job keeping the area between the radiator and the engine very "clean" by returning the engine control harness back through the firewall where the PCM is mounted. I have also used the Breeze lower radiator hose and pipe kit which looks very neat.
