Way to go BIG, Frankie! :cheers:

[tmadden]

Those wheels are sweet!

[frankv11]

Thanks for the complements fellas.

Now the tire question , I'm planning I using this 90% street use and most likely never on the rain. looking at new toyo r888's any thoughts on why not and any other options

[Rybar]

You will love the toyo's they are awesome I use them on my car same as what you plan to. I even got caught in heavy rain and there were no issues with the tires. They actually hook extremely well in my opinion.

[Justin@EntropyRad]

That Radiator looks Sexy in there!!

Tires: The R888 are really sticky, but the continental DWS are also very good...last a little longer as well

Got a bunch of other stuff done , wiring has been more work than I ever thought . Running out if room for all these different control modules. Installing guard dog IKEY RS set up and vaporworks control module. Battery ( odyssey 1500) going on soon , just debating a few wiring issues. Got ilumin8 LED turn signals / daytime running lights.
Toyos look good but do to the fronts being 10" I'm going to have to raise car a bit more than I wanted to for clearance , 14" wilwoods fit perfect in there. Still making changes on the dash and under the hood as needed.
Hope to crank this thing up soon

Dayum Frank the stance is siiiiiiiick!!! Love it

[tubbed69]

great progress Frank,stance is perfect:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Frank, The wheels and tires look sick on there, Nice choice. Did you make the close out for the air intake or buy it? I'll be needing one for my car.

[Ron in SoCal]

Frank :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Let me know when you're ready to light the fire!

[Swain]

Frank,

Where are those LED'S from?

The car looks mean just sitting there.

[frankv11]

Tx fellas
Wayne . Yes I made everything from the throttle body to air filter.. Thinking of making a few complete sets ( all HPS clamps, silicones, air stack ,hardware, gaskets etcc ) ready to bolt on. It will only need to weld two tabs and drill a 1/4 hole on fender as seen on pic. Just waiting to actually try it with MAF in that location, will be using air straightner at the stack in hopes it will enough to get accurate air readings.
Also made a matching passenger side , using to clamp the hoses and hide the AC dryer.
Jay info for lights , it's just LEDs with bracket I supply the socket because needed clearance, stock was hitting heat exchanger http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zpsbd94fbcd.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zpsbd94fbcd.jpg.html)http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6295_zpsd7b31305.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6295_zpsd7b31305.jpg.html)http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps84850db5.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps84850db5.jpg.html)http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6297_zps509fee3c.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6297_zps509fee3c.jpg.html)

[QUOTE=Ron in SoCal;535290]Way to go Frank. That dash looks like a lotta work!

quite a bit of work. what made it most difficult was the horizontal radius and the dash face is slanted in about 15* so I had to make a separate bezel for every gauge (except bottom row) to bring them back to 90*. left a bit of space on left side for pushbutton start. so yeah its been fun but that is exactly the look I was going for. i wanted the dash to have some dept. not a fan of the flat. very happy with the outcome thus far.

I actually went through photo bucket using iphone( copy and paste as usual )not directly from iPhone but I was not able to do it either way in the past.
pictures of where I'm at now.

[DKz Garage]

Really nice build! Love all the detail work and craftsmanship. Quick question on your battery wiring.... I too, put the battery in the trunk and ran the positive cable to a bulkhead in the firewall. It would appear that you have grounded the battery to the trunk floor, did you run a negative cable to the front of the vehicle as well??

Thanks, Dave

Maybe a dumb question.... I see the mega fuse on the 6 gauge, what protects the larger battery cable? and what does the 6 gauge wire go to?? I ran heavy welding cable from the positive side of battery to a bulkhead in the firewall, then to starter, etc... I know some new cars run the positive cable inside the car. Is there a fuse large enough to protect the large cable??

[frankv11]

#6 goes to fuse box , big gauge positive does not have a mega fuse but will be looking into a large enough fuselink on the ground side to protect it.

I started this build 5 + years ago, with the intent on not getting out hand, and well you know the story. I figured no kids , not much responsibility. I need a hobby to keep me out of trouble.
Now 2 kids, 5 years later and going on 41 My out out look has most definitely changed but it's to late to quit. My oldest turned four today and he is going to be helping me on final build. So I think it's worked out for the better.
The following Pictures of reason why it's takjng for ever ( to many smalls )but I will be happy when it's done and if not no one else to blame but my self.http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps159bbb24.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps159bbb24.jpg.html)http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps3e869fc0.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps3e869fc0.jpg.html)http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps9a16df05.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps9a16df05.jpg.html)

[frankv11]

so my NOT MUCH http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=51749 breather is finished and installed.
phase 1 is complete all liquids are in ,wiring , weather stripping etc complete car all done . I wanted to build it completely down to every molding , weather stripping etc to make sure it all fits as it suppose to . so i have a few adjustments on the list already.
cranked it up ( let it idle for a while ) a few days ago sounds great ,clutch engagement is dead on , no leaks after heat up cycle . all lights work properly. everything looked good until 2 days later when it would just turn on for a second or so and died . so after getting on the phone with PSI found out its not getting +12v at MAF . fuse that feeds it good so its loosing signal somewhere in between. well figure it out hopefully without major surgery .
My plan is to drive it the Long Beach High Performance Swapmeet on 01/31/16

2 kids later and still going at it , had to add space to pull wagon .
i went with guard dog everything is hooked up but its isolated( not in service ) ran a regular ignition switch in parallel for start up purposes , just to eliminate any other variables . once I'm happy with how everything is running , ill post up a review on it.

Thanks guys
See if video post works , thanks to Gary at PSI we figured out the problem and its up and running , runs pretty decent considering it still needs tune .

Still finding things that need some massaging . Like DSE boaster /break pedal returning too slow. lower driver windshield molding fits like poop, weather stripping , amongst other things , so I'm still glad I have taken this route of complete build and drive before final disassembly and paint

[JDODDS187]

What is your rear end length, And your wheel back spacing in the rear?

[frankv11]

What is your rear end length, And your wheel back spacing in the rear?

Sorry but it's been a while and don't know , but it's the DSE rear end for they're mini tub kit , and wheel is 18x12 w 5.5"
Would like to say 55.5" or rear end


I'll look it up when I get a chance

[JDODDS187]

ok thanks, I wasn't sure what lengths guys were running. I may have a line on a full floater but its 57", But I would like to have a deep offset on the rear wheels, so I'm curious to see what the offsets actually look like on the car. Do you by chance know how narrow you can get away with with the DSE deep tubs?

[Ron in SoCal]

JD every car is different, so measure for sure. I could not fit 55.5" and 12" wide / 5.5 BS wheels on the rear. 54.5" was the ticket for me. I know others have gone a skootch wider.

Cheers,

[Ron in SoCal]

Frank! Congrats on lighting the fire!! That is such a great time in a build :cheers:

Agree with Ron . Measure , measure
Now I'm curious cause I can not find my notes on that. It's only been 5 years or so.:)
Yes it is Ron . Got to get brakes figured out, a few break in miles and get some good shake down runs..

[JDODDS187]

Yah thanks, I was curious, mine is also a 69 camaro and I figured I would ask because that deep offset in you wheels is about what looking for. I still haven't put together the back half of mine as of yet, still a few more things to do before I even hang the rear quarters. I will be scavenging most of my parts and would like to know what has worked for other cars.

JD . If you call DSE they would give info, they are very helpful, also next time I'm under there I will make sure to measure it

[frankv11]

Well it's up and running , still got some adjustments that need to be done but it runs and drives like a dream. Today was the first time that I actually enjoyed the drive ( punched it a few times ). It's very responsive all around . I actually expected a more rigid ride considering it's bare bones metal shell on solid body mounts. The only interior on it is the door panels.
Need to change coil over springs from 450s to 550s
Run a vent for rear end , it's spilling a bit of gear oil
Got to figure out the pwm out puts for cooling fans, from ecu they're always grounded and on. I'm pretty sure it's a programming issue.

All systems are up ( minus AC ). Including guard dog Ikey RS ( works great ).

I eliminated AC Pullys initially because I'm not comfortable with the bearings and compressor is sitting on my hand built bracket. Don't know how the belt is going to react yet in the high rpms. So that's next on the list . After that ,drive heck out of it . Brake all down again for final stage .
AC bracket in question http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3172_zps7lagator.jpg (http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3172_zps7lagator.jpg.html)

[frankv11]

You are absolutely correct but I have a trick up my sleeve for that:D
That was something else that I thought about but if I run bracket on exhaust and another on body w 3/8" bolt to hold grommet together. It will not give it room to grow. I'm trying to guide the expansion by way of hangers so it will not compromise the close tolorances to body at certain places.. I have the whole system tucked in there pretty tight. For now it's just theory I'll see how it behaves once I put some heat to it..
Good eye

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff363/frankv11/photo3-8.jpg

Nice job on the exhaust. I don't want to be the bad news guy but those hangers won't work that way.

You have the absolute right idea by keeping all the rods parallel so they can slide back forth as the exhaust grows, but those grommets will not stay in place. I know they "snap" together but they are actually designed to work with a through bolt that holds them together.

If you swap out the grommets and the brackets for a different style hanger, like the ones pypes sells or the universal parts store ones you will be fine.

So simple, it only took me a few years to figure it out. Safety wire the sucker together :/

So I have been playing with it when time permits . Built these hood pieces " wanted to put 200dx to work". Not my cup of tea , they're doing too much but it was fun building them .
Been chasing some idle voltage issues .
Got dash board , center console and interior quarter panels powder coated , dash got some leather. The bare metal reflection was not good for driving.
In the process of finalizing kick panels. Made them out perforated aluminum .
AC is blowing cold, no known issues w idler pulleys and home made bracket.
Trying to put any and all trim / pieces make sure it fits .
Still cutting and welding on a few spots as it comes up.

Drove it to Pomona swap meet . It pulls and drives very nice all around.
Maybe flaring front fenders about an inch at most to get the perfect stance

Oh yeah need to pick a color too. My gray w very fine yellow pearl is out the door. Some type of off White with crimson interior " old news now ". Now I'm leaning more towards a nice silver w black interior or just go back to old school. Red and black.

Another I'm contemplating is a nice old school jag green exterior . Something like B57jtr
Thanks marti

Neglected thread , did not know photobucket was back on. Any how a few pics of the project and some fun stuff coming up . Making a few of these real cold air intakes for 1967-1969 camaro LS swaps .

Stopped updating since photobucket incident, what photo host site works best ?

hostmyjunk from the pro-touring site is what I've been using.

Stopped updating since photobucket incident, what photo host site works best ?

I sucked it up and started paying for SMUG MUG. Personally I think it's worth the $25 a year. I can upload pics via the app on my phone, iPad or computer. No adds, but B.S. 100% worth it... as was every penny I paid for this intake. Thanks again for caving and making them. :bump:

I got to check that out , so I can post some pictures on here just to prove that the project is still moving 10 years and counting :)

[frankv11]
