klawrence 65 Daytona Build thread/link

[klawrence]

Not much for describing each step but if you have questions feel free to ask. Gen 3 kit, gen 3 coyote with gen2 cover. T56 and IRS. Will also be installing the Formacars window kit.

Here is the link to the Gen3 Daytona (https://photos.app.goo.gl/3CVWCiAMp8tcCnUD9)

Thanks for everyone on the forum and your build threads as they have really helped.

Before I took on this project, here are some links to my previous builds

Will be interesting to see how the Formacars window kit installs. Looks like a real nice piece.

Some great looking builds there! That Army truck is crazy cool you are ready for the zombie invasion or WW3.

Awesome pics. I'm using them as another reference for my build ;)

[David Hodgkins]

Impressive skills! The Type65 should be a fun build for you.

I've extended full rights to you, so you can add an avatar, update your profile and signature, etc.

Best of luck with the build!

Can you tell us the part number of the rear wheel spacers that you used in your build ?

I got that idea/part from Paul's build

[klawrence]

Added a few more pics, with the window temporarily mounted and remote locks working. I did change how the door poopers are wired, I used a remote/wireless SPST switch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089GK1JDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)to disable the door popper, essentially a door lock. My battery is low, I hope the speed of the window increases with a few more volts (this is noted in the suggestions)

Few things to note.

The good - The kit is extremely well engineered and thought out, very impressed.
The bad - instructions are unclear in a few steps, also instructions reference illustrations that do not exist. Sent emails and left voicemails, no recent response.

Last update for a few days. Hope to have the drivers side wrapped up next week.

added more pics and videos of the power window and remote lock/poppers

[klawrence]

That's part of the power window kit from Forma Cars I believe.

[klawrence]

First time I'm seeing those Forma Car windows....mind blown :cool: . Does that rear quarter window take up the area where the window "scoops" would normally mount? ie can you still mount the window scoops over that rear quarter window? I love the look of the scoops on this car. My ideal would be have the Forma windows, quarter window scoops mounted, but be able to remove the forma quarter window on nice days and have that area open. Well poop, I don't even have my kit yet but just got a lot of ideas from your photoset @klawrence. Thanks so much!

[klawrence]

You may be able to make the quarter windows removable(they screw in), I am not planning to remove mine. I do not have any experience with the scoops for the quarter window so not sure if they would work with the forma car quarter windows. Chris from formacars is a sponsor on the site, he may be able to answer that exact question.

KL,
Since your PCM and PDB are mounted so close to one another, I’m curious what you did with the excess harness to the PDB? Tucked away or shortened? I’m starting to map out the wiring now.

[klawrence]

It is in a loop on top of the trans in the trans tunnel, that is a lot to screw up by depinning all those wires. I did have to unwrap a god bit then re wrap in order for the loop to work correctly.

To add (I am sure plenty already know this) if you are wrapping wires/looms highly recommend Scotch 883 electrical tape for looms and a fabric loom tape for the ends/transition to wires, well that's how I do it if I can not use shrink at the transition.

[Indy Shu]

Thanks for the info. Btw, your paint job is looking great! It must feel good to have completion in sight.
