SGT/SC#0471 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Which Mufflers are you running? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 The car has Borla long tube headers with an X pipe and at first I put on a set of FR500s mufflers ( M-5230-S ) but it was way loud - like 105db loud . Then I bought a Borla touring exhaust - quiet but because the mufflers sit at an angle the mid pipes were sitting just above the rear axle vents and it would hit . So now I have a stock set of mid pipes and a pair of "Bullitt" mufflers to try next ( M-55230-GTB ) Once I get the car running again ( rewiring the chassis right now ) I'll find out if they will work for the required 92 db limit that is stated in the rules and hopefully not have clearance issues .

Kevin Patten Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I like that rear quarter panel! LOL... Jer I thought that you might - just wait until you see the rest of the Shelby Performance Parts that are incorporated into the build . I was thinking on bringing it down to Vegas and get a picture of it in front of the Speedway location ( it's birth place ) before the move or for the grand opening if you want .

5 DOT 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Looking good. I really like the Jonblood wheels, there were several cars at Sonoma this past weekend running them. Kevin, Andy and I missed you on Sunday and the trunk monkey kept asking where's the guy with the pony tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I was there on Saturday - couldn't pull off the Sunday - leaving this Thursday to go run the GT500 @ PIR on Friday and then to Grabber's on Sat . Tell the trunk monkey that I'll see him on the 25th @ Laguna ( if he gets to go ) I might even bring the SGT for a break in session ( hopefully ) and I'll wear the ponytail hat . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just got back from Grabber's PNW Meet and Greet along with a track day at Portland International Raceway and I have to meet up with the glass guy this afternoon to have him put the front and rear windows back in the car . So play time is over and it's back to work on the car ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 The glass is back in and 07SGT4755 is starting to look like a whole car again ! Still a lot more to do but nice to have the outside to a point that it looks like it's back together in one piece . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckgt Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Ok I finally got to sign on to the sight, and post some pic's, glass is back in the car and I started taking the plugs apart for the rear elec. harness to go through the rear bulk head. not a hole bunch but you'll get the point.

JeffJ Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Looking absolutely fantastic! Love all the striping an lettering you have done! Congrats! So can you imagine doing this entire process in one week from delivery of complete driving road car to track ready? That is what Paul Brown's (RIP) Tiger Racing crew did when he received his first 5.0 to have ready for the first World Challenge race a few years ago. That was a feat!!

Kevin Patten Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Whew - a week ! I've had to wait for some of the parts longer than a week . It would be nice to have the manpower , parts on hand , and the cash to pull something like that off . But I'll get there with it - I'm getting close ! It will look even better when it's done - and hopefully go as good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckgt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I made some drop in plexiglass side windows for the car yesterday for the car . I'll see about getting some pics up . Well here come some pic's, been bussy inthe shop moving arround some things to make more room, finished getting the rear wiring harness to the trunk (which ment tacking all the plugs off, feeding the wires trough a 1 in hole then putting them all back together) KP has been workin on the drop in door windows ,and they came out pretty cool. Now to get them Grand fathered into the spec book......... Here are some pic's. Cheers and enjoy JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 As you can tell the side windows are just for keeping out the rain and/or the cridders while the car sits or is going for a ride on the trailer . I just didn't want to go out and sit down in the car and get a wet butt or find something worse on the seat ( if you know what I mean ) ! Since we are not allowed to have door windows on the track they just slide in / out - pretty basic . As always - THANKS JJ for posting the pics !
