1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

[Sieg]

I think the Mona Lisa would have looked happier if someone would have rode her once in a while.

[Flash68]

What difference does a stripe make if it's just garage art....

Going to have agree with Greg on this one Dave. I think the Mona Lisa would have looked happier if someone would have rode her once in a while.LOL

Hey this thing is making the most progress it's made in 24 months since the little 377 blew. :poke:

Hang in there with me. :popcorn2: :D

[Track Junky]

Take your time Dave. Hope to have my fiberglass doors on before I have to start dealing with you :slingshot:

[GregWeld]

You know I have to ride you like a bad pony....



I really like that rendering with the double orange stripe and bob braga's (Bushwachers) plastic fender extensions....


Just do like JCG does and bondo those bad boys on.

[Cris@JCG]

Fastest way to get the job done! :D

BTW- Thanks for saving my ass on the road rally this past weekend..

[57hemicuda]

Its progressing faster then mine. I think we all need somebody riding our behinds, keeps us moving, and it's just a plus that it makes me laugh.

I'm not going to lie, this latest group of cars being built, are going to be so wicked and stupidly fast that I can't wait to see them done, and beat on.

WELCOME --- I'd do the same for anybody! LOL



Was a fun rally -- and a fun weekend.



Your driving has improved HUGE! Good job out there.

Let's de-rail this thread more!

Thanks for the compliments on the driving! Now I can ask for the keys on the Lotus!

take it easy.. I'm looking into designing some "liberty walk" type flares for cars.
I could look around the plant though for some Bushwacker flares from a Ford F150 that might work on his Camaro. It looks like a Ford anyways.
It will probably ride like a truck also.

[Sieg]

Before GW pounces on that statement...........there's no way it will be in the same plush zip code as a new F150. :mock:

I can only hope so Tony.

[byndbad914]

You are making some good progress! Going back about 7 pages and reviewing, I like the dual orange stripes with the blue v. the single so I say go for your rendering. Definitely adds dimension to the look of the car.

As for signals, find a 3-way toggle for the dash, neutral being off, with up and down for on, sorta like a lo-hi switch. Then just mount it sideways on the dash and hold it on for left and right. I put a button on the dash of the 914 for the horn. As little as you will use it on the street, simple buttons are good enough.

That Butler seat can be reworked, or simply heated a bit and bent at those rib supports. Those containment seats are great - I wanted one in the 914 but it just simply didn't fit in that small of a car - I couldn't get in and out with it. Depending on how the Nova goes I have some padded "ears" for my Ultrashields that I can weld on. In your Camaro you should have no problem getting in and out with a removable wheel of course and having that additional head support should be great.

That is some crazy exhaust! I agree with balancing after the mufflers to try to quiet it down a little more - you should be able to fit an X-pipe in that mix as it comes across behind your seat. I can't say I have done this and personally proven to myself the validity or know the difference, but have heard that it helps. Maybe it is only good for 1 or 2 dB but sometimes that is all you need.

As for that Merc9 car, while it is cool to look at and I do think it is pretty interesting, don't do what he did. I ran 125-130 mph thru the sweeper and 165mph down the straight in the 914 with no aero, no cage or tubing, horrible 914 suspension, on the first track day after I first did the V8 conversion. Of course, I immediately disassembled the car and started a full chassis once I realized how crazy it was going to be :) Nonetheless, that car should be closer to 150mph in the sweeper with all of that work and aero, so again, don't do that :D Well, except for the sequential transmission - those are nice :whistling:

The stripe deal is one I will sit on for awhile.... I could go a lot of ways on that.

I like that idea for the turn signal. Sounds like a street car to me. :rules:

We thought about reworking the original Butler seat but I decided it was too pretty to cut up and found a buyer for it in less than a week. I then ordered one through Ron Sutton with his advice. It's nearly identical to the one Payton ordered and should be taking delivery of any day now.... Payton? :hello:

Regarding the exhaust, I think the custom big box muffler we plan on getting made for that section the seat should do a pretty decent job of quieting it down. We shall find out. :) Agreed on an X or H pipe... but just don't see the room there. No huge deal.

And Tim I love that last paragraph -- total stream of consciousness right there. :headspin: :D

[Payton King]

Still waiting on the call. Guessing it will be next week before the seats are ready.

I did get a big freakin' wing yesterday...you will have wing envy now. LOL

I just got the wing and not the mount...but you get the idea. 71 inches wide and 12 deep. This is the wing on the car it came off of when they allowed them in American Iron series.

Payton,

Your timing was perfect. Usually it's a hotbed of activity in here.


:tiptoe:

[gerno]

So when are you getting the window nets and where are you mounting the escape hatch and flaps on this "street car"

But seriously, if your going with that huge wing are you also adding a belly pan and rear defuser?

[Payton King]

Yep, lots of aero on my car. Cannot speak for Dave. Our cars are so similar that I thought about cutting off the Camaro body and putting a 70 Cuda on my frame just so we could be different, but by the time my car is finished the pro-touring fad should just about be over and it really will not make any difference.

Chad, I have been compensating all of my adult life. I am about an inch away from driving a monster truck. LOL

That wing is killer. And another "great deal" we all love to find when searching endlessly and aimlessly. :computer:

I'll run Jake's for now since I have it and like it. But now you've def got me coming down with the aforementioned case of wing envy. :twak:

Speaking of compensating.... man look at Rob. The guy is 6 foot 8, has a Torino 20 feet long and 4500 pounds and throws a 500 inch motor in it. Wow. Talk about The Master Compensator. :lol:

All this fluffer talk, and pictures of wieners, I feel like I'm back in the text train. Payton has been trying to get me to put a wing on my Mustang forever, always thought if I did, I would then be expected to be fast.LOL

Waiting to see some Camaro build pics.

Do you still believe in Santa??

[intocarss]

GOOD MORNING! :hello:

[Track Junky]

Could be my own personal opinion here but I think at 800 hp down force is going to be a necessity. If It were me Dave I would put a wing on that car. First thing that comes to mind for me is coming into a corner at high speed, letting up on the throttle will lighten the rear of the car up. In this case the wing will help keep the rear of the car down and also help as you throttle through. Just my opinion.

[fleetus macmullitz]

That Mustang is one of the cars that serves as great inspiration. I have a few pics of it saved in a folder.

Yeah I agree and feel it will happen but Brett and I agreed to keep the current to-do list as is and not add any more (time and $) to it for now. That can and likely will come later.

Now that is a cool picture, especially with that bad a$$ SB2 valve cover hanging out there. Looks like it is getting closer, those pull masters I think will be the stuff. All ball busting aside, looks like most of the major stuff is covered, how far out do you think you are?

[sik68]

It's been a few weeks, but I still get goosebumps over the exhaust layout. What a beast!

Yeah that pic got me a little excited too. Things starting to come together. No more big items left to buy. Just making all the crap I have already work.

It may look UNpossible to many but we are shooting for a shakedown in May. And an engine fire up in the car here probably next month. We shall see. As I've gotten to know Brett more and more he likes and seems to thrive with self-imposed deadlines and goals. :popcorn2:

Damn those engines take up a lot of real-estate, almost looks like a big block. I guess its those heads and that massive intake, that must be the reason they make such big power. There truly is nothing cooler then tubing on a car build, love it.

Yep. Love the tubing and plumbing (to come) on this car with all the big 16AN oil lines and such.

The intake is quite a big bigger than a standard SBC but out of the SB2.2 intakes available it is the shortest one they make and not what the BIG power SB2.2 guys all use. But I liked it for its shorter height and was told it would help with more lower end power comparatively.

Agreed. The amount of thought and energy put into this build by the owner and fabricator has this car evolving into something pretty special. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rog.. we'll see. It's a goal Brett and I discussed and hope it will be a motivator to at least getting it drivable and tunable.

Met up with Ron Sutton at Goodguys today and he has his new booth all going. Very impressive setup and stuff. He should be a force to be reckoned with soon I predict. Always great talking to you Ron.

I picked up these 40# Detroit Locker springs from Ron.

After learning from Ron about the various spring rates that are in the various lockers used by race teams and that they can vary anywhere from 25# to 125# depending on application, I decided to go with his recommended 40# for good measure and just get it right out of the box instead of just wondering what I got from Roush Yates. Thanks again Ron.

Leroy --- That video is "represent'n' (as the young kids say) of two things:


This thread....


And Todd's admission that he has "0" interest in big motor'd cars - sex - booze - life - food - and hell raisin'.... Well.... Okay -- he really just said he was no longer into cars and racing --- but we'll take that as his life took a big ass splash in muddy water. LOL

[Stovebolter]

Dave, this car along with so many others....I'm not even going to attempt to name them all. Lol. Too many. I too read up on Ron's suggestion. So can I assume these springs are color coated by spring rate?

You shouldn't give up just because you screwed up and had things backwards the first time. Take some notes from Dave and move forward. Spend the money on the good beer instead of the fancy black paint job. Oh and buy everything, including car parts at the flea market.

Is there any issue with exhaust flow in using a pipe like this or a full rectangle vs oval or round? I like the idea, especially after trying to run my exhaust this week. It's almost impossible to get that stuff tucked up.

It was nice seeing Dave this past weekend. We did the usual puch list items and went over a few things to fine tune the game plan. The Butler seat came in and that was the main reason for the visit. We spent some time together mocking up the seat, APRacing pedal assembly and the Woodward steering column to his liking. Looks like everything is going to fit with a little modification pushing the pedal assembly forward about 1/2 inch into the firewall and pushing the seat back a few inches.

After our work was done, we gave BadMotorFinger a treat and let her purr outside in the sun for a bit. A good time for some "On the ground" photos. No humans were hurt or bitten during our photo session.

Dave,

I can't tell from the pictures, but are you running a power steering rack or a manual rack? I don't see a pump, so I was curious if you plan to steer those big-assed front tires without a little assistance. :)

[57hemicuda]

Most of the time on RACECARS, they drive power steering off of the dry sump pump.

[Flash68]

Is there any issue with exhaust flow in using a pipe like this or a full rectangle vs oval or round? I like the idea, especially after trying to run my exhaust this week. It's almost impossible to get that stuff tucked up.

As far as shape with the transition from collectors (round) into a sort of "D" section, all I can find on the subject, technically, says to have the "D" section at least larger than the round section, in an ideal world of course.

My math shows this:

3.5" round = an area of 9.62 sq inches

2.25" x 5" "D" = approx 9.06 sq inches (it's not a perfect semi-circle D shape as you can see in the pics)

So, essentially, it's close enough by my estimation. :)

If anyone sees my math wrong, please share your thoughts.

[Flash68]

You need to send that baby to the east coast, I have some "Big American Bulges" in mind for that car that would be wicked. Looks awesome Dave.

Ha. Would be cool if I had 2 68's to see how a set of yours would compare to a set of mine. Wait, that doesn't sound right... :sieg:

Hey, I've got an :idea: ... you do Payton's flares and there's your battle of the bulge(s). :stirthepot:

Dave,

It's the same Ford rack that you should have, unless you changed something. Jones PS pump assembly will be going on in a bit.

Most of the time on RACECARS, they drive power steering off of the dry sump pump.

Whew. It's good thing mine is running a standard crank/water pump driven one then. I'd hate to be thrown into that RACECAR category. :sieg:

Got to sit in my new Butler seat. She's nice and snug and fits me well. Because I have been on the Payton bench press and lat pulldown program since I left North Carolina, we need to stretch out the rib tabs a bit. Otherwise it's all right where it needs to be.

We threw the head and shoulder pieces on as well while we were fitting the pedals and column, and they were much less intrusive with respect to the cage bars than we were anticipating. So that was good.

[carbuff]

Ohhh you did eh? I recall you had a steering issue but did not see you replaced it. Did it fail completely or you simply decide to upgrade/change?

I did. The original rack blew a seal for some reason while at the Fall Fort Worth GG event, and I was leaking fluid all over the place. So I replaced that with a remanufactured unit from Pep Boys. For some reason, that rack never 'felt' right to me. Sloppy, a bit too soft. So I started hunting around for different options and ended up with AGR. I ordered one of their 'stock replacement' units from Summit. They can do all sorts of customizations, with perhaps the most interesting being the internal spring that affects the feel of the rack.

I've been happy with this one. No leaks, no slop in the feel, all around works well. The original one was fine also, just sprung a leak. :\

Funny Dave, my Mustang was within 50lbs. of that, when in a similar state. Car ended up at 3160lbs. At least that is what it was before I got crazy and started installing creature comforts like side glass, wipers etc. Figure you'll end close to the same, liquids are heavy.LOL

When I got my dry sump oil pump setup it included some oil lines for it made by Brown & Miller (BMRS). Reworking any of their fittings requires a proprietary crimping machine that only they and a few shops seem to have. We dealt with this when Watson Racing was assembling and preparing to dyno my motor last fall. A Sprint Car shop in San Jose (Keating) had the machine so they helped us there. Anyway, I had bought a few more of the BMRS hoses to add to my "pile" of crap in the hopes that some of it would be useful later. Some of it proved to be, but we needed modification again. So I contacted BMRS knowing they had opened a Socal location recently and they luckily were pretty close to Brett's shop. So he took all the measurements and we used some of the my good fittings/lines to rework into the new lines. Not the cheapest route, but they pressure test everything for free so this should be a good system and hopefully all leak free.

Wow! Brown & Miller hose & ends. Fancy-smancy there Cheeseball. :thumbsup:

That is the best of the best. Wade Brown is a friend of mine and they're dedicated to having the lightest, high quality hose & fittings. Before the LA branch, they had 3 locations ... Charlotte for NASCAR ... Indy for IndyCars/CART/IRL ... and England for F1 ... because those are their 3 primary markets.

We have Good Ron and we have Bad Ron..... I am still trying to figure out which Ron you are. Don't worry, it will come to me.... :popcorn2: :D

You are right, these are spendy, and not quite practical when NEW. But much less spendy when you frugally pick up some nice sets of used lines and fittings that are reusable. I got one set of 7 lines made for pump to pan in near MINT condition for like $50 on ebay. Those fittings brand new are EACH about $40!

Overall I bet I saved several hundred bucks over what it could have been just going in there or calling and ordering up everything brand new. Plus, it's Nascar stuff and that's a big theme on this thing so I gotta do what I gotta do sometimes. :thumbsup:

Not bad, much lighter than I expected in this trim. Final weight should be under 3200lbs.

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k514/Fab50Three/Blue%2068%20Camaro/IMG_7099_zps69449573.jpg

Current weight without front fenders, fiberglass hood, radiator and core support, and the interior seats.

Front weight is 48.5% of total. After adding fuel in the rear and then installing the front sheet metal and radiator, this number will improve closer to that magical 50% goal. :relax:

Back right rear... coilover and sway bar can be adjusted to lower the 703 corner weight. And the same can be done for the left front 668 corner weight to balance out the side to side numbers.

While the cheese balls would provide a nice snack while waiting for Todd to catch up to me, I don't think it would weigh as much as my 2/3 full 4 gallon oil tank or my 21 lb battery. Those were the heaviest things to mount there and they're on the passenger side of centerline.

SO.....

[Flash68]

Ok, so the reason I cannot accept this award, I mean, nickname is because I didn't really earn it. At least not in my world.

3 or 4 years ago I had an employee who brought one of those exact same jars to the office and constantly munched on it until it was gone. Here was the beginning. We even sent him one this past Christmas after he left in October to start a competing company. I'm a good sport like that.

So as much as I'd love to, I just cannot accept this great honor as I simply did not earn it. Sorry guys. :rules: :mock:

Now, how about a little :topic:

This looks fitting enough. Brett picked these babies up the other day. XRP fitted soft fuel lines.

Hey T-Rex,

Did Sutton teach you how to change that font color? He's pretty good at that.

Were you aware of the Singer 911?? I'd never heard of it until Alex sent me a link...

I know you're an "EX" Porschephile.... so figured you might be aware of them. I was blown away and now want one!! They're truly works of art.

Frankly - I'm surprised Charley isn't driving one 'cause I know he's a Porschephile

Yes I am aware of it. The shop that used to do some work on my P-car (Sharkwerks) has at least one customer with one:

I'd like to own another P-car someday.

Since there is not a live feed (yet) inside Brett Propulsion Laboratories of BMF V2.2 taking shape, here's a re-post of a great build and track vid of a Singer in the meantime...

Nice to see this thread is finally back on track.

Yeah,....good thing, huh? lol

Any updates? :popcorn2:

[Vegas69]

I was wondering the same thing, cheeseball? :D

After seeing that red Camaro break the nasa track record with less horsepower and car, I have one thought for you, driving school. Maybe two, life insurance.
