Another SHOGUN in the werks

[Festevil3]

Any new pics? I am starting to get excited about some progress

Good call. Play it safe. It's going to be obvious your car is heavily modified, and thus draw extra attention.

Too bad that handbrake system won't work for you. I say you modify the hub to accept a second caliper exclusively for the parking brake. You've got the skills.

heh , I basicly wanna do this in case im getting flagged by po-po to go do a mechanical inspection. We dont have e-tests here but if a po-po sense something is fishy , he can call inspection on you.

The hand brake , im scrapping it , theres no place anymore for the caliper , Im still trying to figure out a way to have another E-brake thats not connected with the regular brakes.

I can sense your dilemma here. I drove a 47 Dodge Power Wagon years ago that had a handbrake arrangement that surrounded and acted upon the rear driveshaft. This set up was directly located under the floor of the cab. I wonder if there is some way to concoct a mechanical friction device that presses on the rear discs?
I do suspect that a lazy, non-inventive guy like me would ultimately wind up being satisfied with drum brakes at the back. This harks back to a famous line from Enzo Ferrari when he fielded complaints about inadequate brakes on his products 1/2 century ago; " I make a my cars a to go, a not to stop"

Inspirational. Very clean, precise work. I like that you have true outside air to your intake. Brilliant handbrake as well. I suppose it'll be a custom job if you break that axle shaft, but that's no problem for you I see.

Your forum handle "PhoenixSHO" is likely prophetic (Biblical proverb: rise up from the ashes to fly again). I know nobody with the time, expertise and patience (nor finances) that you have shown towards carefully crafting/fabricating/assembling of what is destined to be one of the wildest Festys ever.
"DD" classification would be the ultimate understated compliment. Montreal to Ottawa (where I live) normally takes 2 hours. See how much you can cut down on that time on your inaugural run and breakfast/lunch and supper is entirely on me (even if you happen to have to slow down). I'll even go to bat for you with QPP and/or OPP!

Thanks

Home made console , still needs works and leather. Last pic is a Davies Craig 110 LPH coolant pump to help out the stock pump.

Salut! I just wanted to join the choirs singing praise of your project... this is completely unreal. I have no idea how I have missed this thread until now. Everything about this... speechless.

Curious - I saw mentioned you may do body kits. Would you ever think of selling plans/kits for the suspension and engine/tranny subframe/cage?

Once its all done , (mid summer I think) then yes - I could sell the plans and the body parts (Since I got the molds).
