A walk-around tour of my SuperLite Coupe (SLC).

I published my SLC Build journal in a Amazon Kindle book. The journal is meant to assist and entertain builders of the SuperLite Coupe kit car. It includes detailed instructions, recommendations and over 600 detailed photo of the construction process. The Appendix is a wealth of information on parts you will need, a Porsche transaxle spotters guide, machining process needed for the Porsche transaxle to fit the SLC, maintenance guide, etc. You can find it on Amazon by searching on "car builder journal"

[@DelCalloway]

Fantastic car, congrats on finishing it. One of the cleanest SLC builds I've come across!

[@allywilkeforsenate]

Good to know a car has room for bodies in the trunk.

[@jzmun]

you have an awesome car dude, enjoy in good health

[@mastersteve63]

Hi Bill, I’m building my superlite now. Can I get a copy of your build journal? I don’t have kindle. Is it available on any other format? Thanks!

[@bbkkssv]

Looks great..how was the build compared to your 33? I just finished a 33 myself and looking for an SLC as my next project as well

[@ThePandaBeat]

AAA 5 stars! Looks as if it was made by a big company. Well done!

[@davidlawson7786]

I want one

[@b-manz]

Book not there ... doh

[@BillPhillips4]

I just searched Amazon.com using "car builder journal" and it did find the correct book. Please try it again.

[@waelcartech]

hehehehhehehe good for kidnaping no one would suspect such car to be used for that :)

[@63grandsport11]

So thats how their getting across the border.

[@BillPhillips4]

Yes, the SLC Build Journal is also available in hard copy. Its over 200 pages of details, part numbers, guidance, transaxle selection guide, etc.. It also includes about 400 photos and illustrations. The cost is $75. Send me an email at [e-mail].

[@joelbundesen]

what was total build cost?

[@Venom2U]

LMAO why is it husbands are always jamming their wives into trunks? LOL Years ago I Jammed mine into a Fiero GT's trunk. LOL it started off innocently enough with "hey...... I bet I could jam you in there." to which she replied " No you cant. I wouldn't fit!" OH YEAH?!?!? Challenge accepted! "Here; hold my beer!" It was funny as hell. She couldn't stop laughing. Neither could I for that matter! Wound up taking a photo for proof, which disappeared over the years. ;-( But yeah a 5'4 medium build woman with a big ass WILL fit into the trunk of a Fiero!! But you have to fold them up like origami to do it LOL

[@SuperMechguy]

The Way Of MGTOW this is gold lol

[@johndyson1974]

I thought you was joking about the wife in the trunk. His wife is small. I would never entertain the thought of puting a person in the trunk. This builder sounds like an engineer. This is one of the better builds I've seen on KZbin. Would love to have one of these with a twin turbo LS engine.

[@jacquelinephillips4587]

You're a genius! Love the ending :-)

[@georgef1176]

Best put together slc Ive seen yet. I just hate the hippo ear mirrors. But what a well done car. I’m building a twin turbo one. I wish I had room to do the trunk mod.

[@stomybugsy12]

this is the nicest SLC I've seen so far. you did a really great job on the interior. and then you don't put ladies in the trunk in a review. you could fit in there.

[@armandobetancourt8488]

I think is the best SLC build I have seen so far. I don't understand how this video had only 300 like

[@muzikunit7148]

Good work man is a beautiful car how much it cost to build one of those to buy the kit and get it built look like a very good project I'm interested this can be something me and my brother can do on the weekend and our days off

[@eeepeeep5206]

People are asking what is the total build cost ! Over and over. Could you please answer them !

[@chrispapa1587]

Best looking spec of all SLC. Practicality is also probably the best out of the lot.

[@jamesaron1967]

Nicest SLC interior thus far from the videos I've seen, looks nearly production. Also, the trunk is fantastic; I thought there was the potential for a lot of space in there and you confirmed it!

[@kingmiura8138]

Nice car. I would like to see someone try to put a Lamborghini Miura body on a SuperLite chassis. It would be expensive and difficult but you could have a better Miura than the original for less money than a good original.

[@odurandina]

Congratulations.... THE ALL TIME WALKAROUND NO DRIVE car. Everyone talks up this yada modification/s and that yada tweak. Ok, yahoo. Now SLC OWNERS stop talking and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD START Driving these cars and post the damn videos. So we can tell you how great you are and you EARNED even more praise. Once again awesome car.

[@BillPhillips4]

I absolutely agree and I have other videos of this SLC in action. Unfortunately, KZbin makes it difficult to link to other videos. Use KZbin Search to find these videos on this car (KZbin won't let me include URLs): - A Cruise in my SLC - The SL C's Hit the Road

[@ryanr3071]

Well, I’m sold. That’s one way to have the wife ride with me

[@CORZER0]

Speeding ticket yellow. Perfect!

[@gr8finplnr]

Love the luggage conversion. How did the weight balance shift with moving the radiator and plumbing/coolant weight aft?

[@Shadowband72]

+Michael Troxler A radiator doesn't weigh as much as a passenger , and you can corner balance it to fix any weight imbalances .

[@thomasbrasse3145]

So you are saying it is a 3-seater....

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

Great job refining the car to make it more high end and less kit carish. The interior is the best I've seen on one of these and I really like how you made it look like it should on the interior. the gauges and controls have that high end factory look.

[@twissted1277]

Beautiful Car! I do like the Ford GT-R that Superlite has much better though. It has a more organic look to it with classic looks also

[@Carlitosway211]

You could totally go grocery shopping with that trunk! Not for a family of 5 or anything, but as a single guy, that's all I need.

[@waelcartech]

great looks , goood job man , I want to build a kit rags buggy any advices

[@bernardthefourth]

Great build. I'm contemplating building one primarily to race it into the ground. Yours looks way too nice for that!

[@amoretennis7072]

Do you build for other folks? If, so I am in ATL and interested in getting 1 build. How do I get in touch with you?

[@Hopper157]

Incredible work! I'm blown away

[@GeorgeGraves]

The all black top looks kinda cool - it almost makes it looks like it's some sort of "pod" - BTW - nice job on the trunk.

[@Ginajockey]

The best one.

[@kiwihame]

Very tasteful and practical mods Bill. Super well done. (Especially the wife-holder) = )

[@BillPhillips4]

No, the side windows are fixed because there is no space in the door for them to roll down into.

[@20spray1]

Very well built. I love the interior but I would have done a few things differently to the exterior to suit my personal tastes

[@sticrzy123]

I swear I seen this exact car today in Mooresville NC

[@Sunedosa]

The car looks fantastic, inside and out. Good job Bill :-)

[@Kee-Von]

good to know you can stuff a body in the trunk...ya know just in case you had to

[@jeremyplc2380]

best slc i've ever seen

[@kiwihame]

And good on you for writing your build journal. Looking forward to using it one day!

[@vkrishna0612]

can they be customized to have roll down windows?

[@jeanjean5570]

That's the best SuperLite Coupe (SLC). work done great! the inside and out 1A ! with the interior you can see no screws! it has to be like this !!!! is for Sale ???

[@BillPhillips4]

Yes I am considering selling it. Its a great reliable fun car, but I've moved on to my next car project and don't drive the SLC much anymore.

[@BillPhillips4]

Yes, that was me in Mooresville today...

[@michigammo9327]

Hi Bill. I am extremely interested in purchasing your book! Question about it though. Once downloaded, is it possible to print it so i can i can put it in a 3-ring and leave it in the garage instead of having to keep my ipad on me?

[@BillPhillips4]

The reason I made the SLC Build Journal a Kindle book is that it is a HUGE document (300+ pages) and is very expensive to print ($150+). There is very little fluff in the SLC Build Journal. It contains hundreds of detailed photos, lots of part numbers, detailed guidance, etc.

[@cupra79]

HI Bill could you record the dash turned on and maybe a startup of the car or drive around. I have seen many slc videos and your car in on my top 3. Really love the job you have done. Keep it up but please post more videos. Best Regards.

[@BillPhillips4]

I posted another video with the startup sequence and cruising around Charlotte. Here it is -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y37SpIxurLd8ldE

[@chondominguez6995]

Great job brother. Interior is very nice as well.

[@marios3590]

Bill, do you still have your Superlite?

[@davidgaddy4328]

That is the best looking one I've ever seen great interior

[@cristian.bobotan]

It looks amazing. Great job!

[@tynannicholas984]

Fantastic build. Question, was the closing of the body behind the front wheels a factory build option or something you took upon yourself. Probably my favorite thing about the build, gives it a VERY clean look.

[@BillPhillips4]

The space behind the front wheel is open so they can release the body from the mold. I fabricated the block off panel out of fiberglass and blended it in. On a SLC painted in a dark color, that area is not as noticeable. But on a bright yellow car, it really makes a difference in giving the car look finished.

[@tynannicholas984]

BillPhillips4 it absolutely completes the car. It’s something subtle, and to most, minor, but it gives it a more finished factory finish. Nice job.

[@512SolidSnake]

Classic video, great build!

[@juniorj4b]

Now u can cross the border...

[@512SolidSnake]

What size radiator did you use?

[@emiliomurillo20]

looks like the next corvette. cool

[@GETLifestyle]

damn this is proper....you really did this thing up. I would like to see this with some black 5 star centerlocks and some sloted rotors.. ha! nice build though

[@BillPhillips4]

Thanks, Funny you should mention center lock wheels. I'm working on fitting a set of center locks as I write this reply. You are right, they are sexy! FYI, I upgraded to slotted/drilled rotors after I made this video.

[@GETLifestyle]

Awesome

[@emedvallejo377]

Beautiful SLC. Can you build me one just like it? How many miles have you put on it so far? Has it been reliable? I would want it as a daily commuter. I currently drive a Mercedes SL550. Hope to hear back soon. Thanks.

[@SquirrelsForAll]

Nicely done! WOW!

[@KaboCo2]

beautiful built

[@jaxxbrat2634]

Dang human smuggling

[@srenbomadsen9663]

black wheels please

[@elicash315]

fantastic job!!

[@PawanKumar-nx1eu]

masterpiece

[@cooksey187]

niiiicccceee..

[@Thedetailcartel]

no option to print this off amazon?

[@BillPhillips4]

That is correct. The reason I made the SLC Build Journal a Kindle book is that it is a HUGE document and is very expensive to print ($150+). There is very little fluff in the SLC Build Journal. It contains hundreds of detailed photos, part numbers, detailed guidance, etc.

[@ballerblocks]

She is going to kill you. Lol 🤣

[@thediddlefiddler5569]

How does the interior 'feel'? I'm curious as to whether or not the OCD builder has an honest chance at makeing the interior 'tight'; not BMW tight but marginaly devoid of annoying creaks, sqwaks, whistles, rattles and drones. Good lookin car brother. Still saving for my kit. Don't worry, I'll buy your book. Great job.

[@BillPhillips4]

Once you are seated, there is a surprizing amount of room. It does get a bit tighter with 2 people, as you tent to elbow them when you shift. Also, the driver's side is actually wider than the passenger side. Like any new car build, it takes a while to get all the annoying creaks, sqwaks, whistles, rattles out. You just attack each one until there are none left.

[@viasevenvai]

I would suggest dynamat to weigh things down for harmonic resistance. A $30,000 car will rattle at some point, a kit car will rattle for sure. Keeping that in mind during the build can at least minimize it, but it won't feel like a luxury car. If you want quiet you might as well buy a Porsche. A $50,000 used 911 would be amazing. And that's what this kit costs with no options.
