69 Camaro Project - Dead Pool

[Rick D]

Don't feel that bad Ron, when I was out there Jim and I couldn't get Rick out of his lair for a beer. In all fairness it must have been at least 7pm on a work night. :willy:

OUCH!!! :D

Hey what's up with the size of your motor changing to 496 from 505 :_paranoid

Hey what's up with the size of your motor changing to 496 from 505 :_paranoid

Careful the bowtie police now know you've been reading Ford stats.:_paranoid

When I first bought my crank and rods and block we were going to go bigger bore. My block was a second hand piece but the bores looked usable at std so we didn't go as big on the bore. When DG and I were talking I realized I had never changed my sig to the actual displacement.

I spotted Ron at SEMA and OUSCI and while I wouldn't want to start any rumors, I highly suspect this project is currently being parted out and Ron is stocking up on all the new goodies he found in Vegas. Ah, who am I kidding? He already has two of everything - he's probably got Brett onto car #2 already! (I know, I know.... pot....kettle....black.....).

I hear good progress is being made and that the local boys had better be getting their own cars back together for the big throw-down. I know Matt is scared and is working feverishly as we speak NOT to have Ron's car finished before his is back on the road :-)

[snappytravis]

Rumors are true. Always.

I have proof.

I was asked to go pick this new gem up and replace the LS427. With all the talk about FE and SBC2 motors, I think Ron was feeling left out.

So, this is what I've been upto with Dead Pool.

Cheers.

That's strange the first thing I thought of was Snoop Dogg, I saw him at sema, maybe that is his new lowrider engine,

Ron, you're one lucky bastard. Your car is getting top notch, royal treatment. Just so you know, I'm stealing all of you and Brett's tricks, like the little bracket-holder-thingy on the gas tank. Dead Pool is looking real nice right about now.:hail: :hail:

[Matt@BOS]

Now that you're writing about fuel tanks, this is perfect time for me to say that my Fab 53 VaporWorx tank is great. I tested it last week and it worked just as it was supposed to, no leaks, etc. The workmanship on it isn't half bad either. :lol:

Thanks Brett!

[intocarss]

A quick little stainless steel stand-off bracket was made to help support the fuel line with the sensor unit on it. I added a few little bling holes.... well because that's what I like to do.

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k514/Fab50Three/Dead%20Pool%2069%20Camaro/IMG_4345.jpg

Nice fabrication work Brett. I like your standoff bracket and the initial feed line. I can't express how important it is to exercise proper fuel outlet strain relief, especially on the CTS-V fuel module. I've had two customers break the outlet, one of them twice. I managed to fix them, but it's not inexpensive or quickly done.

Thanks for the feedback on the wiring harnesses. The VaporWorx harnesses are quite a bit different than others out there. They are more expensive, but have features such as a two-piece design, fully wrapped, Delphi interconnecting plug, integrated fuel level sensor wiring, etc. They are pretty close to being plug-and-play (pun intended.)

[fleetus macmullitz]

There's gotta be some software that automatically enables your build posts to become part of a sticky. :unibrow:

I thought maybe it would have been easier to make one big new piece instead of welding in 6 seperate pieces. It is easier to make them in smaller parts though. Just my thoughts.

I don't know but it looks like weight and negates the reason for removable bars. I do think it fits the theme of the car. I think you should focus on a nice cruiser as you are building the wrong car for being a world beater.

Not hating, just being honest. It's a really superbly built car that shouldn't fall off the deep end of chasing every .1 of a second. I've discussed it with Ron.

I'm not building anything. I certainly wouldn't build the same car as before and go out and beat the snot out of it. I can tell you that. It was the wrong car for my ideals at the end of the game.

Understood, and true that about the game changing. Our desires and need change. It would be nice to have a few of each and have the best of both worlds... ZL1 street bruiser for cruising, an amazing custom built track car, Big Fing truck to pull what ever you wanted.

No - just my way of egging Ron on and keep him moving in the one direction. I know he wants to make RTTC4 and we (collectively in SoCal) do to. Seems 2012 has seen a bunch of us tearing our cars down for one reason or another and I think RTTC4 is a collective goal. Call it cheering from the cheap-seats lol. Now, if he doesn't make it because he didn't like the sound system or he had nowhere to hang his helmet in back..... then there's gonna be some ass kickin'. I'm just sayin' :-)

Keep up the great work bud.

[chr2002ca]

I'm diggin' your updates Ron. Congrats on the continued progress. I was noticing all the stereo stuff you're putting in the back. I went down that road also when I first built my car. Given that you're sinking a lot of money into a lot of top tier racing parts, and having my own experience with my own car, I'd seriously suggest making all of that stuff easily removable. That way you can have your cake and eat it too. When you want to get really serious about lap times on the track, make it so that you can pop that stuff out(which it looks like you are/were already thinking about with the easily removable cage bars). I ended up doing that with my stuff also with quick disconnect harnesses, easily accessible mount points, and even a little velcro on some panels. Also went back and rebuilt all of my trunk panels last month out of lighter weight materials and shaved another 15lbs off of those. You've probably already thought about all of that and I'm just pissing into the wind here. :lol:

I'm thinking my rebuild will be done about late March, early April, so it'll be interesting to see who finishes first. :) I hope you do and I hope to see you and this gorgeous ride of yours at RTTC. :thumbsup:

As you know, in certain 'they shall remain nameless' threads, even a new gas cap install turns into a 3K page view/good time event....so it's likely what you're doing is 'post worthy' ...IMO.

Amit, you are building a killer car and becoming a regular on Lat-G. If I may offer one tidbit...make firiends here (it's easy if you're a good dude and I'm sure you are), show up and add value in other's thread where you can, and limit the commercial endorsements/stock photos and just share (again...easy, right?).

I hope to post an update soon :cheers:

I agree with Ron. (in response to Amit's statement)

Many of us have been around awhile --- and many of us are personal friends -- made here -- met at some show or whatever... so then there tends to be a "connection" and we pay more attention to each others stuff --- which is to be "expected" as friends would do.

When you post in other peoples threads -- then they respond or whatever - and you start to build a rapport with them -- and they in kind -- look to see what you're doing etc. That's how I was drawn to your thread "finally".

It takes some time -- takes some effort -- but it's so worth it. :cheers:

Hey Donnie. It's a 2.5 from Peterson and it is tight! They actually have a part number that starts (ends?) with 'ATS'. Tyler's fingerprints all over this car. And yep, modified LG Spindles, custom fabbed steering arm. Drops the car about 3/4" and adds 1/2 deg neg camber.

Ya know ron when I was typing my post I was thinking that you were gonna have a nice smart azz comment like this lol. I know I've been MIA for almost a year and it's nice being back. The last 2 years have been really chaotic. Been going thru a 2 year long divorce/custody battle which has been more than draining but I was awarded custody of my son :woot: :woot: and I met a great gal and I just had a little girl (Savannah Rose) a month ago. To top it all off the county forced me to move my shop from home to a commercial location. Which with all going on having to spend another $2k/mo for spot has been tough but honestly is paying off with getting more local exposure and enabled us to become more diverse in our offerings. Thanks for the warm welcome back buddy and just so you know I'm back in full force.

Hey Sorry to hear, but looks like things are on the up for you now. Good luck and congrats on the baby girl.

x2 Luke!

So a tiny update and (sorry) no pics. I've been really swamped w work lately and so has Brett but he's making progress. I stopped by on Friday and the car looks great. I bought the same travel Ridetech trips as Brett and it did set my car up about an inch. We think we can get at least half that back with interior, fuel and exhaust weight and there's about a half inch of adjustment left in the front. The rears may require a size smaller spring which would still keep the shock in the sweet spot for the little drop I'd need. I would describe it as about the same height as Stacey Tucker's 69 currently.

All the plumbing is laid out, and a few mounting brackets need to be fabbed for some of the reservoirs and then it's onto final connections. XRP fittings and hoses throughout. Brett did a good job economizing the runs with his layout.

Most all the wiring is stubbed out to final locations, and we think we have entire design locked down. With a little persuasion on the lower valence, Brett mounted the Marquez driving lights and they look F'n sick. I could visualize the DSE bright driver lights above them and they're a pretty good match.

I have a small shopping list for the cold air intake and some fluids (!) I'll pick up in the next week or so and then it's on! :action-smiley-027:

[randy]

as far as the rear coilover go can you tell me if these are shorter or longer than the supplied dse quadralink coilovers? I pretty much have my rear coilovers bottomed out and i need shorter ones.

[Ron in SoCal]

as far as the rear coilover go can you tell me if these are shorter or longer than the supplied dse quadralink coilovers? I pretty much have my rear coilovers bottomed out and i need shorter ones.

Not sure I get exactly what you're asking, so here goes. DSE supplies an AFCO 5" shock, somewhere in the 13.5" ride height range. Looking at it, it provides about 1.5" in compression travel before you reach the bumpstop. On their Quadralink set up it is dialed in and works really well and my guess is it is made for ride height similar to Stacey's 69.

I had mismatched shocks between those in the rear and Strange in the front. The right decision for me, not everyone would agree, was to get RdieTech triples all around. Their shock body is monotube compared to AFCO's twin and a bit longer so the 5" stroke is about an inch taller at ride height. Not the direction I was hoping to go, but had to make the sacrafice to get the travel I wanted and may need to do something about it (i.e. relocate upper mounts or get a slightly shorter spring to buy myself 1/2" or so).

Last comment Randy, get ALL your weight in the car before deciding on any mods. You might be in for a plesant surprise.

[randy]

well ive lowered the coilover very very far down trying to simulate weight in the car. I am almost touching the bump stop at the ride height that i like.

Imagine the > is the body of the shock and the ---- is the rod.

>>>>>>>>--]


>>>>>>------]


Notice both are the same overall length but the first pic you can bairly see the rod. What i need is a shorter body. Either that or lower my mounting point. Seems like going to a shorter body shock would be better, easier, and cheaper.

I wonder if i cut off half of the bump stop if it would create a issue? I really only need another 1/2"

[Ron in SoCal]

I hear ya. I came to a similar conclusion all around.

Nice artwork btw :D

Modifying the DSE lower mount is a big project IMO. Upper would be much easier. Shorter shock would be easiest but limits your performance.

I don't think you'll be happy driving the car with the shock near the bumpstop. Cutting the bumpstop would not be my route. I just don't know if the removed material would be enough to prevent damage or bottoming out and give you the ride height you're looking for.

Shock compression travel and rebound capability are the keys to driving performance, next to tire contact patch. If you wanted a low car and didn't care about performance there are other, easier ways to accomplish this.

[randy]

:thankyou: I guess I will just have to come to reality that in all aspects of life i come up a 1/2" to short ........




Thats what she said, lol :smiley_smack:

[Matt@BOS]

I hate to derail Ron's thread, but I am really curious, Randy, how low are you trying to get your car?

James F. took this picture of my car over the weekend and with me in it (175lbs), it sits pretty low. Car is using the half height bushings up front. I'm not really having any issues except that the rear axle occasionally hits the exhaust, and maybe bump stop, it is hard to tell under hard corner exit. If this is about the ride height you want, you might want to consider driving it before you start cutting stuff up. Careful exhaust placement, or dumps, etc. might get you to where you want to be without issue. Pictured is a 315/30/18 which is about 25.6" tall.

69 wheel opening makes your car look lower. I'm about a 1/2" from where I want to be. Fronts are 275/35/18 and rears are 315/30/18. Zero rubbing issues. I like this look more than the 335/30/18

If you're talking about the C5/C6 spindles, they are billet aluminum. They came just like that. I have a set and I had mine clear powdercoated. They are sold here in Dallas where I live. Well a suburb about 15 miles right outside of Dallas anyway. They come with a special ball joint that doesn't contain any grease. It's sort of like a heim joint, so to speak. So, I asked about that when I bought mine and they said that I could leave it in there when powdercoating and that the heat wouldn't bother it.

I re-read my post..then added "control Arms" they look like they might be powder coated with a cool Grey.

Thx XLT. The spindles are cleared and the arms are pcoated silver. And we did remove the lower BJs prior to color.

I'll have to look on an old computer for some trans tunnel pics. Basically raised 1.5 - 2" and modded at the toe board/firewall seam for bell housing clearance. Jake has done this many times and will nail it I'm sure...

Who do I have to marry? :D JK Sir! I'm honored. :thankyou: :hail:

I really must say though, be careful (!), you're in danger of ruining your reputation! :lol:

Wow, looks great Ron. That is a garage full of parts, no doubt.
The natives are getting restless.

I'm happy that things are all coming together.... it's great to see that pile of parts and know that in just a little while longer she'll be a running drivin' machine!

She'll come together...
