Mali2ude final build for Power Tour 08

[camcojb]

I'll keep this thread updated as I put the car back together for (hopefully) Power Tour this year. Just picked up the car Sunday. Paint looks great, went with a darker color than originally planned; it's a BMW color called sparkling graphite. We aren't going to color sand and buff the car for a couple months to let the paint cure some.

Jim Ramirez (my friend who did the body and paint on the car) came over today and shot the bottom with a bedliner product. I was going to do it myself, but since he offered (I ain't no fool! :unibrow: ). Looks great, and should last forever.

The chassis was taken apart and re-detailed Sunday/Monday. I had totally wrapped the freshly powdercoated frame and suspension in saran wrap for the trip to Jims for paint and bodywork. That worked great, no overspray, just lots of dust to hose off. I also added my new ATS spindles and new Touring Classic front brakes with Baer Eradispeed rotors while I had the chassis out; what nice stuff, thanks to them for a great product.

Anyway, I lowered the body back on the chassis tonight and will be going full-speed to get this thing back together. Here's a few pics.

You are the man :hail: I dident think it was possible to make that car any better than it was. I was wrong. It's beautiful... Cant wait to see the final assembly pics!
Marcus

[Project_Gotham]

Now that i think about it, just drive it to the power tour with out the front end on. Show off that masterpiece of a motor. :lol:

[dhondagod]

MAN that car is pretty!! (Wish I still had mine :( )

[mazspeed]

That looks so bad ass Jody. I think that is the perfect color. Looks awesome. :thumbsup:

[Ricochet]

Kick ass Jody!! Looks killer. Love the color. I'm glad Jim was able to get everything done and you're happy with his work. He is a great guy. Hopefully he is getting warmed up cause mine is going there in 3 weeks!! Think he has any left over paint?? :rofl:

Once again - killer Jody!! Power Tour - here you come!!

[7TSS]

That looks sweet. Now excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.:hail: :thumbsup:
Did you get any pics of the underneath? And what product did you end up using?
Can't wait to see more pics.

I was going to say something more positive, like Jody finally going to go Power Tour in his own car. What happened to the Maverick by the way?

But Charley, you know Jody better so we'll see.

Work on Jody and you'll benefit the joy of riding in it on the Power Tour. You have to make it this time:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Jody,

Looks great. The new color came out terrific. As the proud new owner of a 64 twin turbo Malibu I can truly appreciate how bad ass your car is. :bow:

Take care,

Awesome, just awesome.:hail:

[chrismoe]

Jody,

As much as I like my Malibu your car is (more than a few) notches up. Thanks for the compliments though.

After seeing your pics I went out in the garage, peeled back the cover and just stared. Took a quick garage shot so I can stare from inside the house.

[jeff hanson]

Looks great Jody! That frickin motor is sick man, definately one of my favorites! I'm actually sitting down for once. My car's back at the body shop for a couple touch up's and final wetsand and rub before Autorama. I'm very glad to be finished with what you are just starting! Have fun, don't work to hard!:lol:

[Rybar]

Jody the car looks fantastic! Love the motor and color :thumbsup:

Chrismoe, nice score on that TT Chevelle. :yes:

[NovaBlue71]

Looking great Jody, I'm loving the new color choice! Keep on task and you'll do fine getting it done.:thumbsup: take care Joe.

:rofl: Thanks Vince, and everyone, much appreciated. Putting the side windows in now, what fun! :wow:

[Jims78elky]

Jody,

Like all of your projects before..its looking incredible.

The paint is so right on that body style..very bad ass!

I thought for some reason that your serp trac drive system
was powder coated black? OK well just maybe the old age
has finally caught up with me on this one though..lol: :rofl:

The pictures are great..can't wait until you fire up that dude!

And don't be scratching up that new finish! Drop cloths are friends!

:lol:


All the best!


:thumbsup:

[Ummgawa]

:hail: Jody. Awesome.

[camcojb]

working on the glass and ElectricLife windows this weekend. Took a bit of time to get the stuff figured out as the car has been apart for a long time, and I completely gutted the glass and mechanisms.

Started by using B-Quiet on the inside of the door skins. What a huge difference in the sound of the metal when tapping on it now. Sounds like a late-model car compared to a tin can.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20271.jpg

Then I took a couple shots of the side view of the car as it progresses. The vent windows and rear glass is in on both sides, heading out to install the final two door windows now. The color and wheels are really growing on me, may not need to spend a bunch of cash on modern wheels!

Who's doing the windshields?

BTW, the color looks great and the wheels are working!! Didn't you say you were having clearance issues with them though?

[camcojb]

no clearance issues. The fronts needed an 1/8" spacer with the old spindles, but the AFX spindles cured that.

Jody

[Datsbad]

Jody , just a helpful hint.
Make sure that mat in the doors is good and tight. We have had many cars come back in the summer time with window assemblies stuck .
The heat lets the glue backing come loose and start to droop inside the doors and ends up jamming up the window assemblies.

CAR LOOKS GREAT !

[ohcbird]

I agree on the wheels- those are perfect for that car. Don't change 'em!

[syborg tt]

Car looks really great. I enjoy watching your build

Way to keep it simple, Jody. No bling on that car, huh?







lol... Just kidding. Looks awesome.

[Tom.A]

Jody,

I think I read in a prior post you were using an ATS pan? If so where are you mounting the remote oil filter? I know on the Camaro's they mount on inside frame horn, but on my Chevelle (69) there is not enough room as the core support and steering box will be in the way. I am a newbie and maybe it is nothing to worry about, but I was concerned if it was mounted higher that the oil would not flow uphill as well.

Thanks,

[camcojb]

I have not got that far, but uphill isn't an issue as far as I've seen. I've numerous remote filters up on the fenderwells and firewalls without issue. I would guess you could use a filter that has the one way flapper so it would stay full of oil to help even more.

[camcojb]

been working on the exhaust until my glass shows up. Fortunately I can re-use everything Mark and Stainless Works built other than the down-pipe from the turbos. I wanted to get the exhaust on so I can find someone to fab my downpipes before I put the front sheetmetal on the car. Here's a few pics, I'll get better ones later. It's a snug fit around the upper control arms and coil springs.

Next up is the stainless tank and plumbing the engine.

well, get to work! :D Actually, I was lazy the past few months and am paying for it now. I had all the time the car was in the paint shop to get all these parts cleaned, decide what was fine and what needed to be replaced, order the parts to be replaced, etc. But no, I didn't feel like it........... :lol: So now, it's really slowing me down getting this thing back together.

Jody

[awr68]

I hear ya! I'm heading out to paint the final pieces of the rear suspension now!! Got to get it all assembled this weekend!!

It looks great Jody,

What a craftmanship there is on that car. All those supernice brackets and welds all over the exhaustsystem is art in it self. :hail:

It must be fun to get a car like that and make it even more perfect.

You will soon go for a testdrive I am sure.:thumbsup:


Jan

[dave96dcm]

Is that a 3" exhaust? It looks great and fits good. You are doing a great job. I wish that I could install parts that fast :D

Yes, it is an advantage to buy a car that Mark Stielow originally built. You know the engineering is all sorted out, and quality is top notch. Then you can put your personal touches to it.

yes, 3" stainless. I have my fast days and others that nothing gets done even though I'm working on it all day. Need a few more fast days to get this done on time.

Looks awesome Jody. Glad to see it coming together! Thanks for the exhaust pics. Like the brackets that were made. Very simple - yet stylish.

Jody the car is great but what's really making me insanely jealous is that hoist you have in your garage. I would KILL to have one of those at my disposal.

[camcojb]

I totally understand that. I would not want to go back to not having a lift, it just makes everything so much easier when working on cars.

Jody

[awr68]

Jody what's your ceiling height of the shop? If I remember correctly I have 11.5'. I'm thinking that would be enough for my camaro...and I'm a little more height challenged than yourself! Man I want a lift!

Good point Jason, have you noticed any differences between brands ?

[camcojb]

Jody what's your ceiling height of the shop? If I remember correctly I have 11.5'. I'm thinking that would be enough for my camaro...and I'm a little more height challenged than yourself! Man I want a lift!

My smaller shop is that height, and some day may put a second lift in there. The bigger shop has almost 13' ceiling height, so it's a non-issue. I think 11.5' is enough, especially if you aren't 6'5" tall........... :D

Jody

[awr68]

Thanks for the info Jody! If nothing else I could use it for car storage in the off months...probably not a bad idea with a 3 year old running around! :_paranoid

[camcojb]

ok, windows are in, many thanks to Frank and Lisa at GP Superstore for the great pricing and service.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20307.jpg

I order a classic update wiring harness from American Autowire (again through Frank!) which will be here Friday. It will be much easier to start from scratch than try to splice all my new systems into the other harness that's currently in the car. So in the mean time, I mounted my BigStuff 3 ecu in the glove box along with the trans controller (switching trans controllers in a couple weeks, but I'll fill you in on that when it happens).

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20298.jpg

I ran the BS3 harness through the firewall and have cut to length and terminated all the sensors. Am in the process now of trying to hide the wiring as much as is reasonably possible for a clean look.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20309.jpg

I also ditched the dual Bosch fuel pumps. I love the idea of them, running one all the time with the second coming on with boost, but there's just no way to neatly plumb them in the limited room under the car. No matter how I tried there were too many loops, etc. in the system to fit in the required width I had to work with. So I had a new Aeromotive pump, regulator, and pump controller in my shop, and decided to go this way. I regulate the fuel at the back of the car to keep the hot fuel from being bypassed to the tank. Running the fuel through the rails before being bypassed to the tank has caused many issues on long drives like Power Tour, and being that this car is going this year I do not want any issues. And their pump controller slows the pump down during idle and cruise areas, so that further keeps the fuel temps down, and increases the pump life.

[67ragtp]

Jody,

The car looks awesome!!! The wrap you used around the fuel supply line on the outboard side of the regulator, is it a heat shield and who's is it? Almost looks like huge shrink tubing in the pic, if its heat resistant I could use some, my fuel line runs kind of close to the tail pipe as well. Amazing car- Rich

[zbugger]

Looks great Jody. Do you think you'll be done in time? It looks like it's already pretty close.

It's Earls, flame guard is what they call it. Slides over the hose, and pretty much burn-proof.

I know there is an awesome thread on this fuel set up your doing.

Can you please add details to this thread.

re: regulator at the tank instead of at the motor.

[awr68]

Will you run a FP gauge on the fuel rail or in the the dash? Or just install a temp one for initial start up?

[camcojb]

I know there is an awesome thread on this fuel set up your doing.

Can you please add details to this thread.

re: regulator at the tank instead of at the motor.

I've been running the regulator at the tank for several years. Not my idea, actually GM has been doing it for years on cars like the Vette.

The main reason(s) I like it is because it simplifies the fuel lines, only one to run up into the engine compartment. Secondly, it stops the heated fuel from the engine compartment and rails from going back to the tank. Not an issue in around-town driving, but you get out on the road for 200-300 miles and you would be amazed how hot the fuel in the tank gets. The gas is very hot coming back and the fuel level in the tank is dropping, making it even worse. This then causes the pump to cavitate, and eventually you're stuck on the side of the road waiting for stuff to cool off. Ask me how I know............ ;)

Power Tour 05 saw many cars have this issue.

Jody

[XcYZ]

Marty, I'm doing the same with my fuel system. I can't tell you how many times I discussed it with Jody. lol

[camcojb]

Will you run a FP gauge on the fuel rail or in the the dash? Or just install a temp one for initial start up?

I have a fuel pressure gauge in my dash. It will likely have the sender up in the "Y" from the main fuel feed line to the two fuel rails.

I'm thinking I should do this too! Everything sounds like it will work better and half the plumbing to the engine bay would be nice! I have a gauge in my dash as well. I like the idea of using a Y and feeding the rails seperate. Yep I like this a lot! :thumbsup:

We set my truck up to go both way's. After reading all of the discussions. I decided that we had to do it. But Dave ( Comp Fab ) said let's at least plan for a regulator up front just in case.

But I am sold on this way.

ps - does anyone have the link to the thread

[Steve Chryssos]

Jody,
Your computer is ready to ship today. :thumbsup:

[camcojb]

Jody,
Your computer is ready to ship today. :thumbsup:

that's awesome Steve. Here's another example of a great vendor (Twist Machine) helping out beyond what was needed. I have a TCI trans computer in the car, and wanted a new harness for it as I'm re-wiring the car. TCI didn't have any, they've gone to a new controller and harness. Since I'm running one of Steve's paddle shifters I decided to call him to see if he could locate one. Steve offered me his Powertrain Control (PCS) unit at a price I couldn't refuse, and I ordered a new harness from them. The PCS unit has some unique tuning features, and you all know how much I like that! :thumbsup:

Thanks again Steve, much appreciated.

Jody,

Can you post a link to this fuel system thread for a goober like me ??
Sounds like a cool way to set things up. I'm also assuming your running a vaccum line from the motor back to the regulator or is there some other way to do that ??

Thanks for any input on this, I appreciate it :hail:

Not an issue in around-town driving, but you get out on the road for 200-300 miles and you would be amazed how hot the fuel in the tank gets. The gas is very hot coming back and the fuel level in the tank is dropping, making it even worse. This then causes the pump to cavitate, and eventually you're stuck on the side of the road waiting for stuff to cool off. Ask me how I know............ ;)

Power Tour 05 saw many cars have this issue.

Jody

We have been doing this for years and have had no problems it seems to correct most of them. The car is coming along great and will be a blast to drive with that set up.

[syborg tt]

Jody,

Can you post a link to this fuel system thread for a goober like me ??
Sounds like a cool way to set things up. I'm also assuming your running a vaccum line from the motor back to the regulator or is there some other way to do that ??

Thanks for any input on this, I appreciate it :hail:

It doesn't take long to get to 40 hours of buff time on a big car. I got 10 hours just in the shell of this '57 HT I am doing and will need a couple hours more to finish it. Still have every other body panel to go.

Nice thing about your color is if you used a dark primer and sealer, chips should not be easily seen.

Im glad to see these results!! its perfect. I never started wetsanding with 600 grit,I read this in this months issue of HOT ROD and it makes sense. I always get that heavy wavey look with my base clear finishes,always wondering how these hi end finishes are so flat. I could never get a straight answer. I always start with 1500 and go up to 2500 but it always had that wavey finish no matter how much I blocked the car . So from what I understand now the 600 grit is cutting down the orange peel, not rounding the orange peel is this correct???

the 600 cuts the orangepeel faster, and gets the clearcoat much flatter than starting at 1200+. As you've noticed, if you start too high you'll never get it as flat; it will look flat looking straight at it, but wavy/bumpy from other angles and lights. The key though, you need to have enough clear on the car to pull it off.

well, when I looked into it the controller wouldn't work with the paddle shifter. Also, although built in it takes an extra $500 to have it activated.

I've got the Popular HotRodding issue where Mark narrowed the frame. I'll have to scan it in some time for all to see.

I know Jody get's asked about it a lot. ;)

It was made by Carbon Components, same people that do the covers. If he still does them then our sponsor http://www.carbonfibervalvecovers.com/carbonvc.htm should be able to get them.

[camcojb]

As some of you know, I'm selling my Hogan setup and bought the new PMC intake http://www.precision-metalcraft.com/. First thought, absolutely beautiful work. Very unique look. Many will wonder why change as the Hogan's is a great manifold also. I have a few reasons.

I originally ordered a manifold from a pic on their website; they don't use part number per se, so I told him what I was looking for. I wanted a rounded top, but when it arrived it was the standard flat top with bolt on plate. Looked great so it wasn't a big issue.

I also set it up for hidden fuel rails, which meant you needed to use the ultra short LS7 injectors. The largest you can get that I'm aware of is 65#, and that will limit my engine, need a larger injector.

So when Kevin showed the pics of this new manifold I was in love........ :yes: Gives me the rounded top I wanted, larger injectors, uses standard GM throttle body, and uses stock o-ring factory gaskets. I can't say how cool this manifold looks, and at $2250 retail it's several hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives. It also incorporates some extended runners and stacks inside the plenum which should make great torque. Here's the pics:

no, just a billet piece they put on there to bolt the throttle body too; however, it would work as a spacer.

I had some carbon fiber stuff done from Wabbits

They did some custom inserts for my console. The consoles are originally chrome plated, and mine had been powdercoated silver like the header coating.

I can attest to the Carbon Components valve covers and Carbon fiber valve covers.com. I had a set on the Red Witch that had bubbled for some reason.

[camcojb]

Is it ready yet???

you're a funny guy!!!!!!!!!! Just finished plumbing the engine, other than one final line from the filter to the engine. I want to wait and see exactly where the turbo downpipes end up first.

All the in-car and rear of car wiring is done, and everything works. Motor is completely wired along with the trans and paddle shifter. Got a couple friends coming over this weekend to do the downpipes and wastegate pipes, then the front clip can go back on and I can wire the front end. Took a while to figure out how I was going to get to the fuel rails; wanted it clean and there's very little room between the engine and firewall with the engine setback like it is.

Here's how I plumbed the bottom of the Precision Machine intake. Intake air temp sensor is on the left, then a #6 line for power brakes, #4 for wastegates and boost gauge, and then the map sensor.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20376.jpg

This is the 1/2" stainless hard line I fabbed up to "y" the main line into the rear of the rails. Stainless looks great, but is a pain to work with, next time I'd likely opt for aluminum. It looks crooked in the second pic, but that's the camera angle, it's actually parallel to the back of the manifold. Very close fit.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20386.jpg

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude%20390.jpg

The last couple pics are the engine plumbed and my new Fast throttle body. Very nice piece.

well, finished up the turbo water and oil lines. Need the front clip on to finish the oil filter and trans lines, so I hung a fender tonight. Started by undercoating the fender with some Wurth coating. Has a great texture.
