It's finally out my 69 Camaro!

[DOOM]

Tiny update from Troy .. The firewall and trans tunnel are next on the list. We're waiting for the transmission to come in so we can start fitting all the mounts. So everything is in a hold pattern untill it arrives..:lateral:

[redfire69]

Hey Mario, first thing is you gotta love the progress. Looks great! I need to ask, can you provide any details on how you made the ZR1 brakes fit? Did you need to update the hubs, etc. Thanks again - Ron :thumbsup:

Ron ... DSE uses stock Corvette spindles. It was pretty much a bolt on for the front . I did change the bearings to a ZR-1 spec, from what I understand the ceramic rotors generate more heat than a conventional rotor.I also had to run 19's for clearance. Kore3 handled the back,again no problem. :cheers:

Mario, thank much. I plan on running 19" RBC3s. Now I just need to come up with the $$$$ for the brakes...ouch!

Everone thinks its the calipers that are the main cost of this setup. Not the case the rotors are the killer $1700.00 list a piece!!:faint: Thank god for Mr Stielow!! These were going on Red Devil at one time. He set me up with a great deal ...

Small update... We have been in a holding pattern for about seven weeks now . American Powertrain is waiting for Tremec to send them cases???? Troy needs to have the trans to raise the tunnel and finish the firewall. Not a happpy camper right now!:mad: So I had Victor Fulton draw me up a new dash while we are on hold.What do you guys think..

[garickman]

Dash looks great! Victor Fulton does some really nice work.

You might check and see if suppliers like Summit and other big retailers have the trans instock since they are big stocking dealers. I would rather pay a few bucks and get it now if possible. Summit sells the Magnum T56.

[Cris@JCG]

I buy all my Magnum T56's transmissions from D&D.. Great guys to work with...

Thanks Rick were going to change up the vents a little bit.

[DOOM]

Well guys what do you think,round vents or rectangular:question:

[syborg tt]

Well guys what do you think,round vents or rectangular:question:

Okay so I am torn. The round vents give the dash a pretty cool look. However the rectangular vents give flow with the dash.

I see round be different !!!:thumbsup:

[fleet]

Mario,

You not too hip to be squ...uh, rectangular.

ToPvXFdFKbk

[214Chevy]

Mario, to me, either way will be sick as the dash is so nicely drawn up and designed anyway. But, for me, preference wise, I like the square vents.

[Al Moreno]

No question.......... Rectangular seems to fit with the gauges and flows better.

[Rick D]

I like the round as Marty said to be different?? I don't know they both look good?? :willy:

[Vegas69]

Circular or larger square vents. Seems like to much no mans land with the current square rendering.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Round, is first choice for me. You could go with Chevy Sonic vents. I just got a set to put in a car and there not very expensive at all. Just my 2 cents. since you asked. (they look more like a factory offering) I like the whole layout of the dash, Very nice

Thanx Tracy I do think I'm going to stay with the round vents.. Todd good point also..

[RECOVERY ROOM]

There is a lot factory vents I have been looking at that are different sizes and don't cost much at all and work very well in the looks department. I bought a set of Chevy Cruze vents(chrome ring on the edge) and 2 sets of Sonic vents, (black edge and gray edge) for less than a $100 bucks at the dealer.

[onefast70elco]

Definitely round Mario.. Square ones look like they should be in a 80's elcamino! Blah!

[Matt@BOS]

Circular or larger square vents. Seems like too much no mans land with the current square rendering.

Bingo. What Todd said.

The rectangular ones might be more similar in shape to the gauge cluster, but they aren't integrated into the design as well as the round ones are, and in my opinion, really distracts the eye from more important parts of the interior. Plus, I think there are enough round shapes, i.e. switches and knobs, as well as soft edges that round works ok.

Matt

[Spiffav8]

Round gets my vote.

[DOOM]

Thanx guys. Looked at this all night and the round vents are the way to go. Victor did me proud thats for sure!:hail:

[GregWeld]

ROUND IT IS!

:thumbsup: :D

[Matt@BOS]

Glad you chose round. Now Marty doesn't have to nitpick about it being ugly :D

Glad you chose round. Now Marty doesn't have to nitpick about it being ugly :D

Easy Sparky. I like both just prefer the round. :willy:

If rectangular is good enough for own resident 1st gen physician, Dr. Mark Stielow...

On the other hand, like the saying goes... round up.

Mario,
Why do you need to stress your self out about a tranny. Call up any local Automotive recycling center (junk yard) and get a t56 out of any 1994-2002 camaro and send it to D&D performance, or finish line transmission for the Viper internal rebuild/upgrade. Buy the appropiate bell housing and clutch and you'll be all set. Once they get the core they usually turn them around fairly quickly.

PM me your mailing address and i will send it to you,, (On the house). we took all the components apart (including the alternator) and then painted eveything body color or black, at the time we purchased our system they were not available in black. i agree only "Spock" and fellow members of the Enterprise would use that top brace out of the box. dont get me wrong March's parts are really nice just not my flavor on that one part.

Sweet touch to the inner fenders. Very Nice!!:welder: :welder:

Really is good thinking. I never noticed until this mod how much it cleans up that area. Nice work guys!

Very nice Mario on the inner fenders. I can see where this may spawn off to others doing some type of inner fender work. It really cleans up that area.

[DOOM]

Oh boy! Here we go with another Riddler contender.....



:RunninDog: :G-Dub: :D :D

Greg you know better that's not happening ! I gave Troy the creative go ahead under one condition I don't want a trailer/ show queen. What started as a simple panel gapping has turned into a little more obviously. But Troy knows where were going with it and Riddler isn't in the picture but maybe entry into SMOY ???? Will see.. But if I can get some of that GW backing like Charley did for Mark maybe we can go for that Riddler.:lmao:

I have to borrow money from Charley so I can send it to Brizio...

You know its all Troy Jay. He came up with this, I had nothing to do with it. I don't know about these things until he post a update.:D

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Thats looking good

[DOOM]

Troy sent me a small update yesterday:willy: I'll be getting a lot more now that he finished two big projects at his shop! I'm taking a ride down this weekend to have a look and go over some things can't wait!

[Ron in SoCal]

Mario - inner look sweet! Troy does great work for sure.

Aren't shop trips fun?

Thanx guys! This project took a crazy turn that's for sure. All I wanted to do was get the car gapped and now this. I really don't know what Troy's intentions are for the car as far as shows go, I'm not a show guy I can care less. That's all in his hands. So will see. Right now I'm at a point where I just want to see the car finished. I can't wait to get the car back at my shop so I can start the body and paint:popcorn2:

[fleet]

Mario,

Obviously got some major scope creep goin' on there, but this car will not get confused with the 3 or 4 other '69's out there. ;)

Troy & crew's fabulous fab work also eliminates the need for resale red, huh?

No offense to you 'redheads' out there. :D

It's okay.... if that's what you're in to.




Impressive.... as in WOW!!!

[DOOM]

Thanx everyone!!! Rob the TT is not going to happen. The bottom line is I have to stop going backwards on this car. The cost of redoing everything to make the TT was getting crazy. Aside from the cost of the engine $54,000.00 I had the trans originally upgraded to 1000 hp now I would have to have that upgraded more to handle the additional hp god knows how much more than the $8000.00 I already have into it! Then the rear end that I already have then the radiator I already have! You get the picture. Steve Morris has something awesome he's going to build for me so we can keep everything we have, this way we can keep moving forward . Stay tune!!:G-Dub:

[Code510]

That engine bay is amazing. I'm trying to wrap my head around how do you even start to make something like that? It makes my head hurt and makes me want to crawl into a ball and cry :lol: :lol:

Rick, Troy has been kickin butt on the car but there is still few things that need to be done before it comes to me . We decided to have Troy start the first round of bodywork at his place so he can address any issues that might need tending to . Then its off to my shop to start the fun part!!:lostmarbles: Troy has set a date for the car to be finished so the clock is ticking!:cheers:

[tubbed69]

lets start spraying some paint Mario:poke:

[GregWeld]

lets start spraying some paint Mario:poke:




NO WAY --- There's 1000's of hours of metal work yet left to do!! Rule of law - Never spray just before attending SEMA. There's way too many changes and adds and do overs after being at that show.

Danggggg! super cool factor going on with the design. Great sheet metal skills and metal finishing is top notch. So, like 15 min each side? :confused59: ... Lol actually I don't want to know.

:thumbsup: :G-Dub: :unibrow: :D

Greg you are definitely right about leaving this quality of work in bare metal,seriosly it would be so hard to paint it.

[waynieZ]

Amazing fab work.

[syborg tt]

Wow - you hit the nail on the head there brother. I just hope I don't see something I want to buy. Kenny & I have been talking about his 62 Flat roof and I am seriously thinking about buying that so I don't change anything on my car after Sema.

[LS7 Z/28]

Metal work is top notch, nicely done

[coolwelder62]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[DOOM]

As always guys thanks for the props ! Greg is right about SEMA but Troy and I are pretty much set on the direction of the car. A trip to SEMA can make you change direction in a hurry that's for sure! Just being on this board makes me crazy. You don't know how many times I've called Troy and asked him to make changes because I saw something on here. Changes at this time really can't happen we have a plan and we are staying the course. So paint WILL start at mid to late March. Troy Is going to have all the rough body work done before it comes to me . Then I can do my thing and get it back to him for all the final assembly. TIC TOC TIC TOC!!!!

[waynieZ]

That sounds like a plan!

[DOOM]

Finishing up some details in the engine compartment and starting on the wheel wells.Then the dash!! I'm counting the days till it comes to me for paint!!

[tubbed69]

Mario that fab work is amazing,cant wait to see it painted now.:thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

really when are we going to go look at this car in person

What Marty said????

[GregWeld]

Love how it's turning out Mario --- and you know I love you buddy!


Hope like hell you can paint better than you TIG weld…



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA




What color are you going with --- I'm old and have forgotten already! Somebody donating paint to you? Gawd only knows you donated enough of it to everyone else! It's payback time!

[Matt@BOS]

Payback time? speaking of which, I think the renderings showed Payback Black. :lol:

Oh, and about materials, I think there is some guy in Chicago or roundabout that area that always helps everyone. I'll see if I can dig up his contact info. I'm sure he'd love to be involved. :lol:

[Rick D]

Hey you need paint?? Well you've got my number, I'll get you the good stuff???

[fleet]

Paint schmaint... :lol:

Let us not forget that ozone altering 'Supersize me!' BBC going in that amazing engine compartment.

:wow:

[DOOM]

As always guys thanx for the props ! Greg trust me I learned my lesson!!! I can't even donate paint to my own car as crazy as that sounds. Everything that's going on my car will be paid for by me . PPG has been a great product for me and I can't blame them for cutting me off the program. I could never produce a complete finished product for them. The last deal I wound up paying everything out of my pocket (almost $3500.00) just to save myself from looking like a azzhole !! I wound up eating everything because the shop wasn't ''comfortable'' using PPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine ! And the shop knew I had everything ready to go. I was calling them to deliver it and that's when they tell me the above comment!! I still have the silver and orange on my shelf to remind myself never to do it again . Sorry for the rant but when I hear DONATION its like my SLOWLY I TURN MOMENT! :soapbox:
Back to my car. As I said before things are picking up a lot faster so updates will be more frequent.:D

[GregWeld]

HAHAHAHAHAHA ---- I WOKE THE SLEEPING GIANT!!!



My phone was going off constantly with the Text sound -- and Gwen is like "Who's that"?…. Oh -- just my little buddy Mario…. he's going crazy on me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



The car looks so awesome! Not long now and you'll be smoking tires on the mean streets of Chicago!

[214Chevy]

I still have the silver....

Uhhhh, no need to torture yourself like that Mario. You need to get rid of that stuff. It just brings back old memories. I'd gladly take it off of your hands. :y0!: :y0!:
