Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
You certainly managed to find a good clean car for your project. The steel in the floors looks like the day it was built. Must have never been driven in winter. Do they salt the roads there in winter ?

No salt on our roads where I live. It was owned by an "old lady" according the the guy I bought it from. He kept it pretty much garaged and minty. Then I came along |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Update Well, between the 6x12 schedule and having family in town on my one week off, I managed to sneak out to the shop for a few... Continued on the exhaust (yes, that is a home-made macebell on the right). Resonating-Wave-Termination-Tuned-Pulsificator-Assemblage The collector is 2.5" and the termination chamber's outlet is 3" (will neck back down to 2.5" You may have noticed the the trans supported by a jack. Yes, I had to hack half of the trans x-member off to do this, but I have a plan Plates are electro-polished stainless: The guy that does all my work for me Bottom welded up: Internal stand-offs to support the flats: I need to close up those two gaps, neck it back down from 3" to 2.5" with a collector flange, and install the O2 sensor bung. But here's how it sits right now: |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
i'm glad you posted an update! looks good FF. what's the "macebell"? is that the dumbbell by the garage door? what's that for? i'm always intrigued by the tools you use .
sure beats me bumping the thread talking about sand blasting and powder coating.

Woah that looks like an intense workout. I think you could do that with a sledge hammer.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
i think the most simple way to deaden the chaimber is to drill a few holes through and through at irregulair intervals and weld some rods in to connect the top and bottom

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks all. Good timing Jv-
Still workin 6x12 weeks (last one!)... But I managed to get a little more done on the exhaust. The clearance to the spare tire well was too tight here so I broke out the sand bag and panel beater: Here you can also see the turn-down: View from inside. Spare tire mount will be removed and a Miata-size Optima mounted in the well: Tail-pipe hanger tacked up: Mid section mocked up: Up/Over rear: View from front: |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
looking good! you're almost to the point of *GASP* wiring! lol you're looking for a smaller battery? you ever see the braille ones? i think they have a CF one, but even the standard ones are supposed to be pretty light.

The exaust looks better than factory. Nice work as always. BTW, I don't envy your work schedule, had my share of that along time ago. I hope they compensate you well brother.

I feel your pain. I had to work 12's seven days a week for six months straight. It wears you down pretty quickly, especially if you have any kind of commute. What sucked the most was that I was on salary and didn't take home any more money for it. That is a quick way to burn out your people. I hope you can get back to a normal work week soon.

one thing to consider is using a light powersource when powering up the first time , 12v high amp carbattery tends to melt wires when theres a short , sumtin like a small 6 volt battery and a smal 6 volt light in series (when theres 100% power flowing through the system the lightbulb will burn bright its normal some parts use a little power like the clock and the radio ) like ones you find in big handlights gives you a chance to measure and find the fault before smoke apears
