69 Camaro "War"

[DFRESH]

Wait......I cannot believe D Renner, The Gran Master Funk DFRESH has posted on my thread. This is truly a great honor. Sure working with top panty models all day is great, but this.....this, I don't know what to say.

I am very sorry about that day in Pleasanton. With all the people in lawn chairs lined up to see you I thought you were Mr. Renners roady. (I was expecting someone much shorter)

And yes, I must admit I don't use panel gap spray that often, but when I do I prefer Ironworks Panel Gap Spray.

Stay thirsty my friends.

LOL--someone shorter-----like Roger.

[Nick.V70]

Jason I am :wow: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[RickM415]

[DOOM]

Jason ..... Post #50 did you use mig or tig?

[War]

It is Tig

[ironworks]

Could you say that any snotty'er. Come on.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Oh Tracy called and wanted me to tell you something





JUNK

[War]

No I tried and had to add two words. Said my post was to short.
As far as Tracy, well....a......yeah

[speedshftr]

any updates on this killer car?:hail:

[War]

Panty sales are slowing a bit so I was able to get some shop time in and get few things done.

That's good Greg, real good...... You mind if I use that.

[frojoe]

Wow all this metal fab is amazing, kindof a shame to have an MDF sub box going into it, thought of fiberglassing one? Lighter & more compact due to the form-fitting nature of it.

Either way this build is embarassingly impressive!! :D

[coolwelder62]

WOW!!! Jason look's totally amazing.AWESOME WORK.:hail: :hail: :hail: YOU DA-MAN. Really nice. Scott

[bdahlg68]

What did you use to cut those holes perfectly straight? And how did you make the mounts? Did you weld the flat to the ring all the way around?!? Your skills are clearly beyond mine. That is crazy awesome.

[nvr2fst]

Awesome detail Jason. Going to be 1 badass ride. I would expect dovetail joints or miter locks on the speaker boxes with you being a carpenter and all LOL.
So whens the chain of panty stores starting if that what your into:rofl:

Just razzing ya as always, I plan on being out there sometime in JAN

[War]

It is big.

It's not that big, pics make it look that way. It's just a 8" sub, not alot of room under he package tray.

Dave, If you knew what I had to go through just to get a table saw out.

Thanks Dave.
Let me know when you get here and I'll head down to Rodgers. Can't wait to see your car.

Just a cut off wheel and ginder. Yes,The mount is two piece and welded.

"It is funny" Should of saw that coming.

[ironworks]

Looks good jason. I think im going to use all your ideas for my product line. Including silk ruffled door panels.

[War]

Well Rodger, silk is the new leather. I'll have to send Tracy some samples and see what he can sniff out.

[tones2SS]

That looks great Jason. Nice work.:thumbsup:

[Roadbuster]

Very inspirational work Jason! Looks awesome!

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Well Rodger, silk is the new leather. I'll have to send Tracy some samples and see what he can sniff out.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Wow all this metal fab is amazing, kindof a shame to have an MDF sub box going into it, thought of fiberglassing one? Lighter & more compact due to the form-fitting nature of it.

Either way this build is embarassingly impressive!! :D

Mdf is a little warmer sounding, I now some serious sound guys that won't use anything else, They only use fiberglass if they can't get the space they need. That debate is a long and old one....on another note... DAMN NICE WORK JASON!!!

[frojoe]

Very true about MDF, has a bit more boom than the sound of fiberglass. I made that comment just because of the weight and it looked out of place next to all of this VERY IMPRESSIVE fab work :D. Then again I managed to fit a 1" MDF box for 2 sealed 12's entirely underneath the package tray of my '72 Nova... it's big & heavy and needs to go away.

EDIT: The torx-head socket screws are a very nice touch and something that people either won't see or won't notice, but goes to show the AWESOME (!!!) attention to detail that this build exemplifies. Keep up the fantastic work!

[78 type-lt]

That floor looks to good to put carpet down...

[Flash68]

Gawd that package tray is a beauty. Amazing work.

[Danp454]

Jason,
Talent or Gift whatever you want to call it man, you got it in spades!!!! When I get my project and apply my new welding talent, I hope to have 1/16 amount of skill you got! Keep it up!:bow: :bow: :bow:
-Dan

[214Chevy]

Maaaaan, I hate this build (not really). It makes me look at my car with disgust and want to go out and spend more money. C'mon...I know I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The fab work on this car is not only flawless, but it is timeless. It belongs in a museam or something. Seriously, these pics need to go into one of those "how-to" textbooks for students wanting to learn fabrication skills or something. :faint: :wow:

[64pontiac]

I will have to add my own "holy sh*t you got skills" post! Truly beautiful work. I thought my abrasives bill was bad for our shop, you must use a couple sanding discs once in a while!?! Leaps and bounds nicer fab work than the trifive you had at sema last year, and that car was NICE!

I will be showing my employees some pics, not to copy just to keep them inspired to keep getting better.

[War]

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. There are alot of very talented people on this site to draw inspiration from.

And yes Tyler, the abrasive bill get high.

[DOOM]

JASON! 10/31/10 ?:_paranoid .... We need a War fix!!!

[Hulley]

Wow!, I just read this thread start to finish and all I can say is, "That is some of the most amazing work I've seen." That has got to be very gratifying. :thumbsup:

[stevebucknor1]

This is the really amazing car. I have never seen this type of car before. This is the main dream to get this type of car having us. There are beautiful graphics and beautiful designed this car. This is the fantastic car and we can say it unbelievable and unforgettable car. There are so many functionality having it. This is really amazing.

[DFRESH]

Dude, come on--how long can you possibly keep showing off here---just bolt the thing together and finish it already----the longer you drag this piece of perfection on the worse we all feel about our crap. Just finish it already. Buy some of Ironworks "Quick Assembly" spray---it hasn't worked on Tyler's car yet, but insiders say it is now working swell.

Doug

[Northeast Rod Run]

For some reason, I never stepped into this thread before tonight, but a slow night at work will make you do funny things.

Actually Doug, Ironworks has discontinued alot of spray products after realizing that we could solve much bigger problems on a global scale. We are currently testing Food for the hungry spray, World Peace Spray, Racial Equality spray, and Obama-Polosi Spray. These products will be sprayed over large populations by crop duster.

[brans72]

The work done to back seat are nd package try rea on page 27 is ot to be one of the most sickest ones I have seen! I wouldn't mind doing something like it but I doubt I could of of my small garage. I starred at pics of it on pg.27 for like 10 mins.I must say awesome craftsmanship!!!!! :hail: WAR.

[1in1969]

Pray tell what the Obama-Pelosi spray is for! Shawn

[War]

Not much to update on. I have just been fitting window trims and trunk gutters. Not very exciting or photo worthy. I am starting the trunk lid and installing an electric latch out of a cady. The spoiler is cut down to sit tighter to the trunk lid and quarters so I can't slam it shut. I'll post some pics of that when I'm finished.

I did get some cool parts in though.

Here's the battery I'm running. This thing is about 6"x6"x7" and weighs 21lbs.

This car would really benefit from some attention to detail and jewel like finish quality....:hail:

One of the best out there and not even done yet, Show it at Columbus in bare metal

[Leadfoot1]

Ahhhh....32 pages of reading to start my day....

Now onto breakfast!

Seriously, I have not been here in awhile (Lat-G) and the quality of the build (which as just kept growing) is telling me maybe i should stay away... :bow: ....but... :willy:

I dont know if it encourages me to go further or telling me i will never make it to my liking with mine lol!! Looking at that kinda work is ALWAYS making me wish i had done this and that. Now the car is painted and almost ready to rock and all i can think about is the next one...

Where is the smiley with a gun to his head? Lol!!!

Awesome work for sure.

Got a little progress done. Finished installing the trunk latch today. Had to keep the escape latch, thought it was funny. Still have to mount the button for the release.

Sweet -- just sweet workmanship.....the pride shows.:cheers:

Looks like it is inspected and sealed and ready to go.

Way to go #9. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That safe release is funny. I'm not sure you could even close the trunk with your big ass inside if you were paid money to. Well at least if Greg, Tony and Todd all got stuck at one time one of them could stand on the others shoulders and release the trunk to get to safety. Good thinking. :D :D

[Sieg]

[killer67]

You can tell that your heart and soul are going into that masterpiece. Very nice :thumbsup:

[67ragtp]

Jason,

That thing looks outragious, got a quick question for you, I noticed what appears to be a shim, I think, between your deck lid and hinge mount. Did the deck lid sit low in the opening before installing that. The reason I ask is my deck lid sits slightly high and Im wondering if maybe a different set of hinges might give me that adjustibility or if I machine the mounting pad on the hinge to drop it down.

Thanks Rich

[Bow Tie 67]

Nice progress, gaps are a blast .......... not.........

I'm working on mine now and have a question. The trunk lid looks as though you closed the gap on the lid edge. Did you just add weld or us a rod and fill?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Jason,AMAZING!!. This car must go to head of the list for coolest PT car on Lateral-G.I really enjoy going back over this thread.Just amazing.:thumbsup: Scott.

Matt, I had to do the deck lid and the quarters. My lid had the skin installed a little off plus it was galvinized so it was a pain to weld on. Try to avoid welding on the lid and work the quarters. I use 1/8" rod and also just fill, depends on how far I have to go. This lid was the worst part I had to gap on the car so far.

So did you end up buying welding equip. and machinery to fab sheet metal to do it at your home? Or have you been just tinkering with cool trunk latches for the last year. You back to framing or still pushing panties, what ever it takes right.

Started with the Metro brand, that really pushed it up, couldn't close the lid. Ripped it out and bought the nitril from classic for a zillion bucks worked much better. Im using the metro stuff all around the doors and its seems to be very nice. I always seem to have issues with trunks for some reason. Thanks Ill let it settle for a while and see if it comes down a bit.

Nope.... The all NEW #9!

Geez, the guy buys a couple bottles of the "Gap" spray and everyone thinks he's the schizzle. Well, let's face it, you pretty much are--even with the Gap spray. Nicely executed brotha---as always--it's amazing to see the continued improvements and fab work you do---

As others have said, the pride really shows on this masterpiece. Watching the front part of the trans tunnel go toghether in your pictures was just incredible.

One question - at one point you showed a panel that closed out the tunnel to the firewall, overlapping the tunnel. In the next picture, it was one smooth piece (after welding and grinding). Did you trace out the opening from underneith, cut the patch to fit, and then butt-weld it in?

Help it "settle" using a dab of Vaseline on your finger and smooth it on the "wubba".... it helps it slide past the fresh surfaces and allows it to form. A bit of warmth from some lamps a day or two doesn't hurt either.

I love in-progress fab pictures like this. I don't think we get enough of them around here for the FNG's like me :lol:

As others have said, the pride really shows on this masterpiece. Watching the front part of the trans tunnel go toghether in your pictures was just incredible.

One question - at one point you showed a panel that closed out the tunnel to the firewall, overlapping the tunnel. In the next picture, it was one smooth piece (after welding and grinding). Did you trace out the opening from underneith, cut the patch to fit, and then butt-weld it in?



Correct only I scribed it from the top. I try to crawl under the car as little as possible. Thanks for the compliment.

Jason,

My hat's off to you, your car is a work of art.

Keep it up!

If you have to take it to your local Chevrolet dealer for repairs while its still under warranty, I believe they will be very grateful... and impressed.

[waynieZ]

Wow Very nice. That looks awesome.

[Rybar]

Exhaust and underside looks killer. :thumbsup:

[Tom.A]

Outstanding :thumbsup:

Jason, I understand if you don't to discuss cost, but I would be curious how much $$ approx in materials (no labor) for pipes, mufflers and clamps.
I am going the cheap way for now on mine just to get the car on the road
but someday I hope to do a 3" with v-bands. It seems an exhaust system can be in the price range of a set of three piece wheels :wow:

[GrabberGT]

Very impressive work but I have to say that no matter what the focus of the picture might happen to be, that transmission mount has me going back to to stare more than anything. :hail:

Maybe one point: The fabrication skills in this car are worthy of global recognition. I can't imagine one gearhead let alone anyone who can use a saw and hammer that would not thoroughly appreciate the craftmanship displayed in Jason's car.

[OOCustoms]

So this was my first time seeing this build.

Seriously if you dont just clear coat the whole thing so we can all see the work, I might hurt something!!! IF you MUST have color it better be transparent!

But seriously, astonishing work! I really believe your setting a bar of quality that very few will be able to match and you should be very proud of that!

Good luck and Ill definitely have to check back on this one in the future. In the mean time Im gonna go play with airplanes in the air force!(ship in 12 days)

thanks again for the inspiration!

Got all the exhaust welded up and smoothed out. I will never do that again.
http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo148/wartym/IMG_284944850007.jpg
Then started on the gas tank. Made a full size mock up of the tank to make sure everything fits. I have a stainless tank made with the vaporworx internals. Carl C was helpful to give me some parameters to work with.

So, what do you guys think about the location for these. Although I guess I'm committed since I just cut two big azz holes in my pan. Just thought it would be easy to adjust them in the trunk instead of under the car. Now I just need to get someone to machine me some covers.

Put a 30* bend in your tie downs -- you're never going to get a hook (twisted flat style) in there and not interfere with your fuel tank... as it looks from the pics... Maybe there's more space than the pics show. But you might want to test that before you're done mocking up.

Beautiful work as usual. When you moving to Giantsville to go full time? :D

I guess with the car up on the lift the camera angle gave a short perspective. At normal hieght the hook is about 2" lower than the tank so I hope it will be ok. I would test it but I don't own a car trailer. I'm waiting for you to buy a new one so I can buy your old one, It'll match my truck perfect. Thanks for the compliment.

Yep, I too picked the wrong parents. No chance of height in my kids future either.

Roger you Giant you stay out of this. Just because you can't fit in a normal car like the rest of the world you don't have to take it out on us short guys.

Update..Well Rodger's right I've been breaking the car down to get it back on the rotisserie to finish weld and then send the tub to get powder coated. I do have a few picks of some things I finished up.

Here's a shot of the wheels, HRE 893R's. Rodger and I had to throw it in there real quick to see how it looked. This was one of the smoothest transactions I've had on the car. Rodger got the wheels, tires, mounted, and delivered. And it only cost me several thousand dollars and dinner, thanks buddy:thumbsup:

Thanks Marty, I was in shock also. Do you think you could show me how to turn my build threads in to hour long infomercial with all the sponsored products also? That would be great also. :D :D :D

Yep - Sure can :willy: :rofl:

[pacificustoms]

Charger port looks great (along with everything else as well)! I'm honored that I provided one little influence on the build.

[camcojb]

Jason, you now have to make your own engine mounts after doing those frame pads; they make the mounts look real cheap................ :unibrow: :thumbsup:

[HWY Nova]

Jason,

Sorry to hear that you lost your job at the mall.

Rough times....... but your car project looks great. I say you slap the rear housing in, bolt the new shows to the car, and give us full car photo (don't forget the fenders and hood though)!

Oh wait Jody till you see what he is doing with his spare time in July. I believe he told me today he could not help himself....

[ErikLS2]

I mean this whole car is out of this world impressive but when I saw those engine stands the words "are you f^*%ing kidding me" actually came out of my mouth

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Clear coat the whole car and show it in bare metal. You could get a lot of work off it. I know guys that would pay you to do there's !. Bad ass workmanship there.:hail:

[DOOM]

Okay you can stop now!!!!

[Greg from Aus]

Just when you think everything that can be done to a first Gen, You step it up another notch, as the others have said, you have an unbelievable talent.
If your not making serious money for such a talent, you are wasted and really need to get out there and do it. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Jason! That thing looks killer! Everything looks clean and simple! :thumbsup:

[War]

Dude - you got issue's

This car is insane.

1 Question - is your whole life this perfect. I am betting there isn't a thing out of place at your house.

1 Answer- Yes I have issue's (so says the wife).
2 Answer- Perfect...No, Haven't you heard? Apparently I have lost my job.
3 Answer- No, I have socks on the floor, empty beer cans and potato chip bags in the sofa cushions and my schedule of the View mixed in with my uncashed welfare checks.

But Thanks

[War]

Thanks Tyler, That's how I roll. Do everything the hard way to make it clean and simple.:thumbsup:

Enough fun, but I would like to say I am proud of everyone's refrain from using one or two word complimentary cliches on the site lately. Seem's some were offended by that and will have none of that.

[LowchevyII]

Jason, I just want to tell you how incredible the car is. The craftsmanship and your fab skills are god like. I can't believe the detail on every aspect. I think this is the one car i'm most excited about seeing finished since Billy Utley's nova is done. I also think i speak for the rest of the community when i say POST MORE PICS! :D

[214Chevy]

Show it that way for awhile and watch shops line up to pay you to let them to paint it.

My favorite color,...Black. I think it's an AMG color i'm using.

That would shave a year off the build time. And no washing or waxing, just oil it down...Hmmm. Thanks Steve.

Rodger's is trying to talk me into putting it back together and take it to Pleasanton:lol: Thanks Skip

Not sure about the limiter bump stops :question: Might bend some thing if the car ever hyper extends for some resone or another ... Also what about when you change a tire :question: Other than that your work is sick :woot:

Yeah I know what you mean. Since I just got the wheels I'm going to put the rear back in with the rotors and see if it goes on ok. I have 2.25" from ride hieght till I hit the stop.

The stops are a good idea but I might make the droop stop a bolt in deal.

[coolwelder62]

I don't know. It's hard to get anything done when you get up at 9am

[clill]

I have gotten bored with Pleasanton and don't go very often but I would go to see that car up close.:hail:

[waynieZ]

Amazing work!

[DETON8R]

Boy, those custom spring hangars are a work of art. I dropped the rear in my 69 to get the g-link ready for install and I just acid dipped and stripped my hangars to get rid of the surface rust, then primed and pained the stock units. They look good, but noting like those custom units you built. Your work would make the machinists I work with jealous. They are the Pirate 4x4 types, and they build crawlers, so the stuff they build is all heavy duty, nothing as beautiful as that.

PLEASE tell us if you plan to go to Pleasanton in August or November. I really would like to take Jr to see the craftsmanship.

[OVRKILL]

Holy fabrication Batman! Wow....dude, your skillz are crazy deep. Cant wait to see this finished!

[elitecustombody]
