We'll have to see how things work out between GM and Mongoose. Personally, I think GM should be proud of them because they are they are so dedicated to building good cars at affordable prices. Unlike some of the others building these cars, I have yet to find anyone with anything bad to say about...
The car saw the sun for the first time since January today. I drove it around to the front of the shop for a picture:
We still have to get the ECU and the cam/crank sensors coordinated properly, but we'll get that finished up Tuesday, so hopefully, it'll be heading to the house next weekend.
We've made a lot more progress on the car since my last post. The article I'm doing is pretty much up to date with the work we completed last weekend. My Dad was a sport
We finished the rear jacking post today, and we're almost finished with a billet thermostat housing we're making on the CNC...
There will be many more updates to the article, as I finish the final details on the car prior to driving it. We'll make a jig for the LS headers/sidepipes so they'll be available to anyone interested in a set for a Mongoose car.
As most of you know, you can tweak or "refine" cars forever and...
Gary and Steve from Mongoose Motorsports delivered my car Wednesday night.....and nothing's been the same since!
I've added some of the arrival pictures to my article: My Dad was a sport
Now we'll begin doing the engine wiring, the fuel system and the header/side-pipes for the car. I'll add...
It's strange that Mecom (or GM) didn't allow Delmo to drive one of the cars at Nassau, if he was the one shaking it down for them.
The only conversations i ever had with Delmo were in the pits between races. He was the original "man in black".
My Father asked Delmo how safe the car was and he...
I have just updated my article on the car Mongoose has been building for me. The car should arrive here on the 7th of january if our schedules remain as-is.
My Dad is 93 years old and suffering from dememtia. He's been unaware of my GS project. Thrusday, he was particularly depressed, so I...
Hi John,
I have admired you car in pictures for years. I think it's the nicest Grand Sport replica I have ever seen. In fact, it's "look" what really sold me on the notion of doing a replica from the get-go.
Once I get mine, there are a number of things that I will be...
All of us at Endyn are just back from the PRI show in Orlando. Gary and the crew at Mongoose have been busy this last week as can be seen in the latest additions to the article on my GS build: My Dad was a sport
It's looking really good to me.
Larry
Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. I hope I can become a positive contributor to the site.
I received some more pictures late yesterday and I added several to the tail of the article on the car. These pics show the chassis before and after painting, the doors, the front of the car...
I'm working on the instrument cluster right now. I bought some block ABS material, and the finish look very much like the OE combination.
Gary (at Mongoose) needs the dash by next Monday, so I have to hustle on this end.
They have fitted the carpet to the interior and they will begin assembling...
