It almost reminds me of the Infiniti Iridium Blue that they use on the new Q50 and Q60's. I planned on using that blue on my Cafe Racer.

 

[bonvo]

[bonvo]

had some time today and finished fabbing the fuel tank firewalls debating on starting to do video updates from now on

Welcome back!

 

 

Have you thought of bead rolling those sheets to make them stiffer? Less likely to resonate like a drum.

Its really that 80s "Ultra" emblem that ruins it for me. It goes against the whole aesthetic they established with the fabric.

I agree, but all the cool kids now are embracing the 80s aesthetic, so...   😄

Hey Bonvo, great to see more work on the 610. I love 610s, especially coupes.

 

You're coilover change made me think of this video that Brendan Reeves put out last year when he was building his 510 rally car. It's got coilovers too...

 

 

The reason I mention it is because of what someone mentioned to me a while back. That being swapping coilovers straight in without any other mods can cause issues. The trailing arms around the shock mount on the 510 are boxed in (See 10:30, it's called the "Safari" mod.) It stops the shock mount on the arm from bending. I'm also told the upper shock mount isn't really designed to have a the whole weight of the back of the car on it. You can see his upper shock mounts are all seam welded and the mounts are built into the cage and braced together (See 10:04). 

 

Anyhow, I know you're not building a rally car, but I thought you might like to see this. 🙂
