Murci G28 build "Chaos"

[SchulzeA]

Were you having issues with both the front and rear tires/wheels not fitting?  I see people putting 20's on the real car and wondered how well they fit and if it rubs anything.

Where have you been Texas?! Haven't seen you on the forum lately

Tell John that I would also be interested in a set of caliper covers, maybe if enough of us want them he will make them.
Those are the same ones that I got and I think they still look pretty good and the satin black will look awesome!  Don’t let the wheels hold you up just keep working away, there seems to be plenty to do to your car yet

[usmc_butler]

Good idea, I'll shoot John a PM and see if he is interested in doing something like that for us

Yes they are the older Murci Speedline wheels. They will work until I can update to the newer style when they come down for $6-8,000 a set. These will be fantastic after having the 20's that I couldn't get anything on the body to fit right with. Kinda sucks, I'm at a stand still on the car until I get the wheels in. I need to get my body where it sits correctly before I can continue with my chassis. Guess I will start framing the door next until they come in

Since you have 13” brakes you should have no problem with the clearance, did you find any caliper covers?  I know you where looking for some.  I spoke to john last week and he has a set of real calipers, maybe we can ask him to make us some covers since the Murcielago caliper is 12” long and the biggest fake Brembo covers I was able to find are only 10” long.  Are those the Speedline wheels, really can’t tell by the picture?

[usmc_butler]

Cant tell much from the picture but these are the wheels I am getting... They will be powder coated Satin black 

[usmc_butler]

Sold my wheels over the weekend and getting a OEM Murci set from a member on this site hope they clear my big brakes



Here is what they went on... Funny how the Challengers make the 20's look so small. He needs to lower it a bit or get a little bit bigger tires. But still looks bad a$$ in my opinion

[usmc_butler]

Got my fuel filler cover in from John in last week! I plan on switching sides from the passenger to driver side with my filler. I think it will be more convent plus I don't want to have to walk around the car to fill up

[usmc_butler]

Sweet, thank you Bull. I probably ought to invest in lots of this stuff since I plan on splitting the front and rear bumpers, hatches, etc

Also started on trimming the body to fit the LP640 Tail lights but cant go any further until I get some rear grills...

Make sure to line the outside diameter of the lights with a black sponge weatherstripping to help seal the gap between the light and the body.  This gives a really nice finished appearance and provides a little friction protection between the parts (less squeaks and wear).  There are different types of sponge weatherstripping and I personally like the denser version that resembles rubber more than a sponge.

Started my radiator support brackets that will bolt to the rears chassis...

[usmc_butler]

Lights are the best thing on the build .... everything else is just work and more money


I NEED SOME  GRILLS so I can finnish mocking up everything in the rear  ...
