Well another season is just beginning .... I have soooooo much catching up to do... work is keeping me away all the time ... the Widow is being revamped again and almost ready to hit the road.... I am finishing the TIG welds on my ram air intake bowl pics later this week. My Mastercraft tool box finally arived friday but only had today to get all my tools into it. Here are some pics of the garage spent the winter parting out two 87 GTs and I kept a whole front end to build me a fiero tariler more on that later this summer. I have the rear lip spolier to install and the holes to cut out of the decklid for the RAM air.



Widow almost ready for the summer rides


My Mastercraft tool box finally arrived woot woot....


This garage now contains 3 Gts in parts ... the frames are crushed exept for one front end.


More fiero parts ... all screws bolts nuts are there .....


You can see in the background standing up is the front end of an 87 GT that will be transformed into a trailer.


Bought these on Ebay NOS 19$ they will need a good cleaning though

more this week with detailed work and pics done to the Widow..... but alot of catching up to do...

I have been away from home all summer giving OS X Lion Server training & IOS Integration...the Widow has NOT seen the light of day this year. I've been home for a week now so I started finishing up my 4 x 6 HID headlights. The following shows how I assembled my lights using F1F buckets. I'm not a fan of the Hella light look so I ordered F1F buckets from Synthesis to start my upgrade. Here is the HOW TO from the begining.


Got my F1F bucket ..... now to take measurements and see if I can fit 4 x 6 lamps ....



Inserted a 4 x 6 lamp woot woot it fits ....



Made a paper template so I can correctly place and trace to cut out



Ok they look centered let the cutting begin



Took over 1.5 hours to cut out and grind properly ....



Fit is excellent now for the second one .....



Side by side Before and After ......



To give the headlight housings a way to stay into the buckets I used a cardboard cutout to make the holding plates.



Now to make the template into aluminium ...



They fit like a glove .... three more to do .....



Used JB Weld to glue the bottom side.



I now glued the the top side and inserted Rivet Nuts that I also glued with JB Weld for more strength.



I ordered and received some springs that are used on an USA attack Helicopter they are the right length and compression rating.



Preassembled the headlight to check for fit and spring tension



All is fine the springs hold the lamp nice and snug.



Now for a coat of paint



and reassembly .... tommorrow continued with the bucket support cleaning and repaint

Winter is coming soon and I still did NOT get to take the Widow out .... too much work and not enough time to play .... so I only do the mods sporadically.I dontknowif I'll be able to take her out before the end of october..... but she will be ready for Frazee, Mn next summer for Tyler's Fifth Annual. I have been doing some research too see about my air intakes ... here are some pics of them ... took over 10 hours of work to TIG weld and get them straight ....


I did short stitches on the inside but complete weld on the outside....


The intakes were a little harder to TIG weld but I think they turned out alright.

I love the vent "design and function" all in one....Great job.

I'm still missing some parts for my 6 speed swap so it wont happen this year though because we will be in Frazee with The Widow ..... Anyways as you can see many goodies.... I will be installing the 1.5 inch drop knucles .....and finishing another 4 x 6 buckets for my friend Brian.


Bought these spindles for cheap because the axle threads were stripped.... sent them to my friends shop he re-threaded them and made castle nuts.... they are now ready to be put on !!! Stay tuned more goodies and info coming.....

More new stuff came in for my F40 tranny swap .....bought an 2006 G6 GTP parts car also but this swap will only happen with the new Widow SpaceFrame more on that soon.
