Re: Beretta Z28

Some people might not see it...... But I call this making progress. The rear suspension is now free to travel with out interruptions from that pesky body. One step closer to actually driving this beast. 60389084_10213889725779045_281465995934040064_n.jpg 60525841_10213889726019051_695197644347146240...

Re: Beretta Z28

Had to ditch the factory coolant overflow due to tire clearance issues. Was able to retro fit the factory recovery hoses and tube and plumb it into this aftermarket tank and relocate it under the header in front of the core support 56500727_10213590231131866_7961911713631043584_n.jpg 56618741_102135...

Re: Beretta Z28

Also got this 90° 4 inch to 3.5 inch elbow for the K&N cold air intake to kick it away from the tire at lock. I literally think i have clearanced every thing possible. Up front that would prevent max steering angle 55627739_10213590409496325_6523464025886425088_n.jpg 55744477_10213590409816333_3...

Re: Beretta Z28

Installed a set of shorter upper arms on the 4th gen beretta Z28 and can now achieve some much needed negative camber. Should be able to dial it in around -8 camber and hoping to achieve +8 caster. Gotta tweak it a lil more and then need to head to an alignment shop to finalize it. also switched to ...

Re: Beretta Z28

Definitely my best attempt yet. "White carbon fiber" anyone who knows about this build knows I've been obsessing with trying to make these one off parts for the beretta one step better by making an exposed white weave. As much as I am improving my process and my results I'm pretty convince...

Re: Beretta Z28

I ran another small section of test material to try and get a white carbon fiber look for the beretta parts. Pretty disappointed with the end result as the white cloth became very translucent when soaked with resin. However I was able to improve my vac bagging technique and feel I made improvements ...

Re: Beretta Z28

Lots of progress on the beretta lately. Drive shaft installed. Trans fluid filled. Shifter installed. 160 degree thermostat installed. And eliminated some more un used emissions stuff and plugged it off.
