SEMA thrash 08

[PRRC]

Well just as the title said we are working on our SEMA car.
Most from here will know us as a great source for parts and our wheel lines.
But believe it or not we are a full service shop.
This project always seems to be on the back burner, But this year its time to throw are hat into the big area and see how we stand up. So we have some great people on board working with us.
Ben Hermance did the rendering and it came out looking great.
Tracey Weaver from the Recovery Room is going to handle the interior for us. If you have every had the opportunity to see Traceys work you know this one will set the car apart. He does killer work. ( Thanks to Kenny and Travis of Kenny Davis Hot Rods for hooking us up with Tracey)
Global West sent us there new B-body upper and lower control arms with there new coilover system to keep the front end in place.( Thanks to Kevin Doyle) A custom rear coilover set up will keep the Moser 9 in line.
Alan and Shiela Budnik sent us a set of Budnik Trigs to match Ben's rendering.
So take look and follow along the build.

Nice! Post lots of pics!! :yes:

[PRRC]

Thanks guys. We will be posting pic's as we go. We are working on the rear suspension right now. It should work out great to keep the big B-body planted to the ground. Just ordered the rear coilovers yesterday from varishock.
Kevin, Drop by the shop any time you like. We would be happy to have you.

Here's a little update on the 62. We have been working on the chassis to get this big boat planted to the ground. Well the rear had to be done from scratch. No one makes anything for the B -Body cars. So we just made it ourselves. With the help of our good friend Wade Sellers. We started with a Moser 9 rear housing made for the B- Body brackets, But found out this just wasn't going to work. We wanted the car to sit low with out bags. So the solution was a coil over set up. We notched the frame for the coil overs to clear .chopped the pan hard bracket did a little cutting on the global west bracket and pretty much did what ever it took to get this thing on the ground. The coil overs will ride up through the truck panel behind the rear seat. Now on to the front. Here's some picks as of today.
Ben Hermance and Tracey Weaver are working on the interior sketches.
There's a lot more to come in the next week.

No disrespect to bags, but I love the form, fit, and function of coil overs. Great work, give us more!:cheers:

I saw the car on another forum, looks great. I think the forum I saw it on mention Audison/Hertz for the audio gear?
Can't wait to see it at SEMA 2008

Well just a little update on the 62. The LS2 is is mocked up in the chassis. We had to modify the front cross member to get the motor to clear the pan and get the right drive line angle. It was just to close to the pan for us. So a couple hours later its back in. Just making up the cross member and we will drop the body on and start what little fab work we have left to the rear package tray area to finish out the roadster look. Stay tuned alot more to come. We are down to 6 weeks before iy need to be in Nebraska to the Recovery Room.
