Thanks guys. I really appreciate your help, support and council - more than you can imagine. Rarely if ever are projects like these successful without help and I have been privileged to work directly and indirectly with many talented people such as yourselves and I look forward to the time that we can relax a bit and really beat the tar out of this thing.

wow - very impressive

James,

You suck -- you've proven to me that you can take a bone stock front frame and make it look absolutely incredible.

I can't wait to see this car at Sema.

[JohnnyGMachine]

Awesome stuff! When you get it all wrapped up, I'd love to have a CD of a few pics of the build process to post up on my site with the rendering.

Thanks Marty,

I'm really pleased with the way the the suspension has come out. Thanks to Tyler and the gang you can see that it is possible to modify an original subframe to get something that looks and performs as well as any aftermarket offering out there today.

No promises on Sema at this point but we are cautiously optimistic at this point.

You got it John. I have to call you so hopefully we'll talk in the next couple days.

Some BIG BRAKE Porn...

You really don't appreciate how big the AP Racing 6-piston calipers are until you look at them from the front or back. These things are massive!
http://www.onelapcamaro.com/OLC_pics/apr%2025%2011.jpg
The braided brake line will be swapped out after we mock the HRE's up tomorrow and get all of that sorted out. The line that we used above was supplied with the brake kit and probably fits a Z06 perfectly.

Without anything for scale it is hard to appreciate the 14" rotors.
http://www.onelapcamaro.com/OLC_pics/apr%2025%2010.jpg

In order to get the brakes to fit on the ATS spindles with the 1/2 studs the bolt holes had to be ever so slightly enlarged (we used a 17/32" bit) and the backside of the stud holes had to be countersunk to clear the shoulder of the press is studs (we used a 1/2 countersink). None of that is required when using the stock 'vette wheel studs - only if you upgrade to the larger press in racing studs.
http://www.onelapcamaro.com/OLC_pics/apr%2025%209.jpg

The workmanship of the AP rotors and calipers is really impressive. They are really nice pieces; thank for the hookup Tyler!

Well, I'd say he's a great friend first, and a great client second.

I love your car. Want to do naughty things while driving it.

Tyler

[Bladerider]

Double wishbone front, remote reservoir shocks, AP's instead of bloody Wilwoods, proper steering.............all these are things I actually recognise as oposed to alot of stuff on these old school muscle cars !!!

Looks really fabulous, one to watch for sure,

Lol. Far from it. ATS's customer list is extremely impressive and deservedly so. I am just one of many.

Tyler has been a great friend and has been an awesome advisor/sounding board since the beginning of this project. Fortunately (for me) we share similar engineering and performance philosophies, which has translated into some great designs and products that meet my needs almost ideally.

I have said it before and I will say it over and over again, any project like this depends on the input and expertise from multiple sources. I have been fortunate to have been able to benefit from the experience of friends across the continent in the design and constuction of the OLC project. Forums like Lateral-G.net have really changed the way that knowledge can be shared to the benefit of us all.

Don't worry Tyler, you'll get your chance my friend... I think that 'Vegas is the obvious choice for the shakedown this summer...
