This thing is bad. It is really cool to see a Camaro done like a modern continental series race car. Can't wait to see it finished.

Please tell me you are scrapping the TA for a traditional decoup 3 link too.

Surprised you are keeping the cowl.

Sorry to hear all the issues you had to go through on the car Payton, Looks like you are in good hands now.

Looking forward to seeing the end result with the Nascar theme that you are going with on the car. Looks like its going to be a really cool! Ill be checking back for updates.

Nice progress! You're gonna like that G-Force transmission!

[Payton King]

Thanks for all of the kind words. Will try and post more pics tomorrow.

Yes to the decoupled 3 link and yes to getting rid of the cowl.

Time to get the motor plate all sorted out. Good news, bad news. Bad news is the Hendrick motor plate I was going to use will not work. Just not enough room for the rack and the oil pump on the same side.



Good news is Jim can build another one and put the pump where it needs to go.

[Flash68]

At least you're the smart twin who put the oil pump on the correct side.

Here is something you do not see everyday. These are pulleys that Hendrick machines up for their motors. They are modular and they make them in different diameters to change the pulley ratios for different tracks and RPM ranges.
