I purchased 69myway's Killer II project back in March '10. Throughout the summer, progress was slow but now the project has started gaining more momentum so I figured I would share.

The basics of the project are:
'69 Corvette Convertible
L88 Flares and Hood
L18 496 Big Block
FI, AC, Cruise
Richmond 6sp
VB&P Suspension

Some background on what was completed by 69myway: McSpeed.com (http://www.McSpeed.com)

The L18 is a big block with LSx DNA so I decided I would make the L18 look similar to an LSx by smoothing the aluminum intake and wrinkle coating black. Once I get my new garage going, I will fabricate some FRC's to fit the massive valve covers.

The body work has begun! Tim Bragg of D&D Classic Restoration
(http://www.ddclassic.com/) is my body man. He has been making quite a bit of progress since November. The car has been painted at least 4 times taht we can tell. 3 times red and once silver. This time around, it will be black :cool:

I've have been wondering the same thing. I would like to do something different than the original car but I can't seem to find the right set. Any suggestions? Sizes should be in the neighborhood of 295/18 front and 335/18 rear but there are not many brands to choose from.

Oh MAN! That all over primer looks sweeeeet!

I'm jealous. I really hope I get to go for a spin in the Modern Rat once it has a windshield and all in....

I miss that project...but I do have a finished basement to show for having giving it up! LOL

At least the whole family can pile in the basement and hang out while it is -5 degrees outside.

We'll get that a/c system together once the slick stuff is on and together!

Man this is just pushing me more towards wanting to do a C3 project. I never got into body work when I was repairing/modifying these cars but I've wanted to. I love the chrome bumper cars but think a late c3 can look amazing when done right. There are so many late c3s that need body work done for a cheap price. This just might push me over the edge, lol.

Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming.

Thanks for the comments guys! I should be able to get some more pics this weekend, hopefully. Ill make sure I keep the thread up to date.

Chris- You know you'll get a ride! I can't wait to drive the hell out of this thing. You know I'm not much into garage queens... On a side note, do you remember if the metal vents on the deck lid where in the boxes? I didnt run across them when I was looking for painted parts. If I have to pick up some used ones, are they any different from coupe to convertable? I can't find any listed in the paragon or eckler's catalogue.

69MyWay
01-28-2011, 03:16 PM
Brad I just don't remember about the vents. I seem to have a memory of seeing and handling them - but it is foggy.

Coupe/Vert - a/c, or non - the vent should all be the same.

They are actually a cast metal part and very heavy.

A little update for anyone who is following. The car is now all in urethane primer. It will be blocked one more time and ready for color. The doors and cover are do for one more blocking and they will be ready. Before color though, the engine bay and firewall will be finished and smoothed to a point. I want some original detail but most of the holes, bolts, and studs will go along with the AC access panel. It will all get finished in satin black.

Thanks for the comments guys! Its coming to togther pretty smooth so far. We're shooting for beginning of April for completion.

As far as wheels are concerned, I feel that the wheel ca make or break the car. I have been struggling a little in that department as I can be pretty indecisive sometimes. I am certainly open to suggestions! I want something diffrent than Killer I but it has to be clean and smooth yet aggressive...

Yes, Vintage Wheel Works V48. They will be 17's all around. I considered a staggered 17 & 18 combo but I like a little more sidewall in the back for looks plus Michigan roads equals 17's in this case. I want to take some final measurements before I order the wheels but they shouldn't take long to come in. The tech guy for VWW told me they should ship in 48 hours. The headers and exhaust are at Aesthetic Finishers.

Tires will be mounted tomorrow, at the local Ferrari dealership of all places...Ill get some more pics once it rolls on new rubber. Next step it to wire the car, slow and painful!

What did you come up with for wheel size/offset?

Man...I can't wait for the shoes on the ground shots.

By the way, you know you can lower and raise the vehicle with the jam nuts on the end of the springs front and rear to get the right stance.

Roll it around a bit and let it settle before you take those pics...LOW AND MEAN baby!

Here is a shot of my old 69 on some of the most recent modification work to it - notice how low it is.....

No I am not Kaos, that is my buddy Rob that bought the car. The other car was originally called Killer - as it was seen and known on the magazine articles, advertisements, etc. I had originally built it and he took it over in 2008. He is now adding his own touches to it - and it is truly KAOS with a whole new identity- really making it his own and taking it to that next level. The subtle changes and details they are doing with a fellow named Josh at the Custom Image shop are just amazing.

Chris, the sizes are:
Front - 17x9.5 5"offset
Rear - 17x11 5" offset
I didnt have time to roll it around tonight and Ill play with the stance later. I wanted to get these on before dark tonight and make sure everything fit. The rears ended up perfect! I was kind of conservative in the front but I know it wont rub or have any issues. Let me know what you think. I cant wait to get some chrome on the car, especially the roll bar. It should really bring the car together at that point.

I got some goodies in the mail. My keyless system from AdvancedKeys.com is pretty slick. You carry an active proxcard in your wallet. When you approach the car it will unlock itself and allow the ignition to be armed. Push the botton to start, system will crank the engine for you, another push and its off. Walk away and the car will lock itself. You never have to use a key and its more secure than a modern OEM system. If you notice, the door locks have been shaved in anticipation of this feature.

The other package was the new VHX gauge system from Dakota Digital. A completely modern look with integrated gauges, turn signal & high beam indicators, digital readout, and a central gauge input module with info being relayed to the gauges via eithernet cable to minimize wiring and complexity.

Hey Werks/Killer II

That is looking AWESOME!!!

I really like the deep redish color interior contrast against the black paint.

Those gauges came out great. What are the plans for the center console where the other guages use to be?

Kaos is coming to life. It is back here in Miami as of last week where I am finishing up a few last items here & there with hopes by the end of August it will be officially done except for some new wheels which will be ready in about a month's time.

Keep up the great work. I keep telling myself it will be all worth the wait in the end.

Nothing is there right now, Im planning on a nav/stereo unit there with a few coordinating carbon fiber pieces to match the gauges. I also need to mount my lexus push to start button on the center console. Lots of work left to go! but its coming along.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing it on Woodward...what day(s) you going?

I'll be cruising Friday night and and Saturday afternoon. I am tentatively scheduled to go to the flint cruise tomorrow but Im not sure if I'll take the vette or not. I have an alignment scheduled for tomorrow morning so hopefully that will go well. If I dont go to Flint or get back early enough, Ill make a few runs down Woodward Thursday night.

Looks great!!! What's remaining? Any more pics of the interior?

I just realized you have the chrome trim around the windshield painted black!!! :thumbsup: Hmm...give me something to seriously consider on the original Killer/Kaos as it is all blacked out now and I think this would look great having the trim black around the windshield.

Can you get some close ups pics of the trim painted black around the sides & top of the windshield?

I need to finish up the interior by installing the AC, door panels and top. It needs to be detailed too. Its gotten quite dusty. I have a nice solution for cleaning up the engine bay as well.

Painting the trim black isn't a bad idea! I havent installed mine yet which is why it looks black. I still have the standard stainless. Powder coat perhaps?

I have a few finishing touches that are yet to come as well. I need to finish a side project first and then ill be back on this one.

Cool. I am going go for it painting or powder coating the windshield trim black. It will give it a quiet different look.

Keep up the great progress!!

I should have the black trim completed by mid March. I need a new windshield (got a nasty long crack) so since the trim needs to come off anyways might as well get this mod done. I really like the look of your car without the chrome around the windshield.

I got it done finally. I had the trim powder coated all shinny black. It looks so much better having black around the windshield. I snapped off a couple pics in the garage and car is dirty from doing a Vintage Air Gen IV swap from Gen II evaporator but I got some pics to share with you. I am flying this evening but will try to post pics tomorrow. I think you will like this also having the black trim around the windshield & I also did the door trim too.

What was once chrome or polished aluminum is now all powder coated shinny black to blend in with the theme of my ride. Thanks Killer II for the idea. Also had the trim along the top door edge and little stayfast caps on the top powder coated black.

Chris, the sizes are:
Front - 17x9.5 5"offset
Rear - 17x11 5" offset
I didnt have time to roll it around tonight and Ill play with the stance later. I wanted to get these on before dark tonight and make sure everything fit. The rears ended up perfect! I was kind of conservative in the front but I know it wont rub or have any issues. Let me know what you think. I cant wait to get some chrome on the car, especially the roll bar. It should really bring the car together at that point.
