I have started my project again, and I have decided on a new route.

I know this is similar to Project Getaway but I have done almost all of the work. They had some awesome ideas though!!!

Chassisworks front clip- altered the ride height so the car sits 2.5" lower
Chassisworks canted 4-bar
Custom roll cage and sheetmetal
Turnkey Engines LS3
T56 6 speed
Luxury ID wheels and Nitto INVO tires-19x12 with 345/30R19
18x8 with 225/45R18

Some of these pics are hard to see. I am not sure why some of them are clear and some are not.

The next updates will be the stretching of the rear wheel openings (not sure how much I am going yet???) and the roll cage followed by the sheetmetal

Where it started

Here is the car at ride height. The front rocker is 5" and the rear is 5.75." I will have a little room to play with the adjustability of the rear shock mounts.

Any suggestions on how much rake?

nice work...i like a 1" rake however...66-67's have funky wheel well openings so a 0- 3/4" would translate better.

I have to ask -- tell me about your frame table... I will be looking to build one at some point and just like to hear the reasoning behind how people built theirs and the pros/cons etc..

Thanks! My I-beam you can see on the frame table is 15inch. There are three, 8inch I-beam running perpindicular to the 15inch you can see in the pic. I had to build some braces to the top plate for strenght. Three pieces was not enough. Then it has a piece of 1/2" plate that covers the entire table.

The table needs to be as solid as possible where there is no deflection. The more braces in the center the better.

If i had to do it again, I would have the 15" on the bottom still, but put the 8" on top of the 15" every couple of feet. Then plate the top. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Here is a sneak peek of the pedals. I had them laser cut at a sheetmetal shop, then broke and fit them. They mount just like the original pedals. They are not finished yet. Still a few things to touch up before they are finished.

I will upload the other pics on Monday when I get my camera. All of the sheetmetal is finished and welded into place, exhaust is finished (except the tips), the clutch and brake pedals are finished, and most of the cage is mocked up. Still haven't finished the dash yet (still brainstorming on how to mount the dvd,navi). Now we are mounting the core support, radiator, and condensor. I will have pics of this in the next week or so.

As for the outside: strip the paint, prime, and paint. Media blasting is definitely an option. I have read all about it, but I have no experience with it. What type of media is best for paint and surface rust?

I us something called Damprid from walmart in the garage to absorb moisture. It comes in what looks like a gallon ice cream pail. Just remove the lid and place around the car. My car has been in bare metal for about 2 yrs and looks good.

I see your surface rust issue
When you get it removed.. im with Joe . media blasting would be great. then use Gibbs on the metal to keep it from happening if you cant paint it or dont want to right away.. Holohans hot rod shop ,Rad Rides and other pro builders use it AND SELL IT. If you contact Dan Holohan who is on this site he will sell it to you and explain it to you.. Dan is a great source of info.

Thanks everyone.

We have a lot of moisture down here. My plan is to media blast the car and prime everything when I'm finished with the metal work. Inside and out

Is anyone familiar with powder coating the entire shell? I have read a liitle about it.

Our powder coater has an epoxy primer we used on surfaces painted later. Worked without problems.

Cowl looks better when filled doesn't it. It's some work but well worth the effort. Man you have to be stoked about what showed in the box. My son Paul put a vintage air frt. drive on his ls engine in his chevy II and I think it's packaged really nice. Not cheap but what is if it's a quality part. :thumbsup: Joe

How much room did you give yourself for your exhaust? I've been thinking about doing something close to that on my falcon. I'm just concerned about the 3" exhaust getting too close to the tires. I don't need it causing issues on the big end of the strip! :lol:

The exhaust bezels are about 6" from the tires. From all of the studying we have done, the heat should never reach or affect the tires.

I have not been around for quite a few months, I have a ton of updates but only a few pics. Sorry! The 3 I have are the package tray speaker mounts, door speaker mounts, and the tweeter mounts in the dash. I recessed them so that the speaker grills I am building will be flush mounted with the interior. Since I posted last, all of the fuel/brake lines are finished and mounted securely, finished the center console, and working on the air intake/filter mount right now. The car will be ready for body work around Jan. 1. Then the fun begins.

Since I posted about 6 or 7 weeks ago, there were a few things that had to be changed. I guess that's how a project goes. Since I lowered the Chassisworks clip 2.5", I thought I had everything fit and finished! But I was wrong. I ended up having to fab new down bars from the firewall to the clip, completely redo the inner fenders, and redo all of the front brake lines and tabs. The reason for all of this was for tire size and proper clearance so the tires can turn either direction while the shock is compressed or extended. I thought I had this figured out a year ago but I obviously had not. I will post pics of the new inner fenders and down bars in a day or 2 along with the brake lines and a few other updates.

First time the car has been on the ground in over 2 years! Here is the car at ride height. The rocker height is 4 3/4" at the front and 5" at the rear. I still have some adjustability left. Don't mind the tires and wheels! And I'm not the greatest photographer either. Haha

Here are the updates I promised.

These are the new down tubes. You can also see the inner fenders in progress. I had to build them in 2 pieces to fit them (not exactly what I wanted but they turned out ok for an amateur). But I like the inner fenders and down tubes better now.

Before:

As it is now:

Inner fenders before:

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e377/jeremy99h/003-7.jpg (http://s43.photobucket.com/user/jeremy99h/media/003-7.jpg.html)

Now:

I think they look better now. The down tubes do not show anymore which gives in a cleaner look.

A couple of more:

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e377/jeremy99h/012_zpsfcbe0664.jpg (http://s43.photobucket.com/user/jeremy99h/media/012_zpsfcbe0664.jpg.html)

As for the outside: strip the paint, prime, and paint. Media blasting is definitely an option. I have read all about it, but I have no experience with it. What type of media is best for paint and surface rust?




With all that FLAT sheet metal -- I'd have it blasted with walnut shells.... otherwise you risk warping.


Sorry -- But I couldn't stand letting really nice work like that get so rusted up. It doesn't have to get like that.

It has been exactly 2 years since I have posted any updates. But I worked on the car off and on during that period.

The car is at the paint shop. I plan on having it back in 2-3 months for final assembly.

Here is just a peek of what has been done. Not many photos of the fab work though.

Tucked the front and rear bumpers. Here is the rear.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e377/jeremy99h/image1_zpshwilqmyn.jpeg (http://s43.photobucket.com/user/jeremy99h/media/image1_zpshwilqmyn.jpeg.html)

Stretched and moved the wheel openings so the 27" tires fit and look like they belong instead of them being stuffed into an opening made for a small tire. This picture would not upload for some reason to photobucket.

Blasted the entire car inside and out. Stripped everything to bare metal.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e377/jeremy99h/IMG_0213_zpsq945nua7.jpg (http://s43.photobucket.com/user/jeremy99h/media/IMG_0213_zpsq945nua7.jpg.html)

Then it was primed and assembled just enough to roll it on the trailer to get it to the paint shop to be dissassembled again.

02-20-2016, 10:24 AM
I have it narrowed down to 3 similar colors. All 3 are a steel blue metallic with a hint of green (more blue). All late model colors. One is a late model GTO color, other is around 07 GM, and other I have seen on a Chrysler 300. I know I will be powder coating the window trim satin black or a dark grey. I cannot decide if I am going to rechrome the bumpers and headlight bezels or make them the same as the window trim.

Here are some small updates. More to come soon.

The bumpers are flushed and the bolt holes are shaved.

All of the gaps on the sheetmetal are the same width. CFrom the hood, trunk, doors, and fenders have been welded to make them all identical.

The car is still ugly in the green primer but it's all straight! It's been pushed and pulled on enough and now it's time for sanding and priming.

The bodywork took much longer than expected. We hit a few bumps but now it's back on track.

This is the front bumper tucked. The front was 10 times more work than the rear! But well worth the effort.

Here a few of the body. This is about as straight as it's going to get. Its almost ready for paint.

The car is on the rotisserie right now getting everything seam-sealed, then the bottom and inside will be painted followed by the exterior.

Since the car almost has color on it, I will show the rendering. Kris Horton (Cars by Kris) did an awesome job with this. He turned my ideas into reality with his creative artwork. I highly recommend him!

Here is just a little teaser of the paint. The color turned out perfect. It looks different inside and outside according to the lighting. This was right after the clear was sprayed.

A peak of the engine. This pic is a week or so old. I changed the fuel rails and a couple of more minor details.

Even though the exhaust is stainless, I had it coated for cooling and cleaning purposes. It is almost time to fire the engine for the first time.

Greening Auto. They are really nice. The billet work is awesome. I had them powdercoated. Check out their website, they have a few different options. It really cleans up the engine without relocating the coils. My initial plan was to relocate the coils but I just didn't have enough room anywhere.

Reworked the stock dipstick that sticks up way too far. I feel this looks better being a few inches lower.

The A/C bulkhead that came with the Concept One system was really nice, but it just wouldn't fit in the tight engine compartment and the A/C lines would never look right. So after searching I found this bulkhead and shortened the lines and welded the fittings back on.

Here are a couple of pics of the mirrors, trim, and wipers after paint. It turned out nice but was more difficult than anticipated. The wheel centers match the mirrors, trim, etc...Finishing up some small details, and it will be complete minus interior this Friday. Then test drive and take it to the interior shop after the first of the year.

I am very satisfied! A person that knows these cars will have to look twice to figure out how these were made. Everyone that comes in the shop notices them after a walkaround. Thank you!

This is where we are at right now....Looks finished but we are having trouble with some engine codes and it running properly. The fuel pressure is set at 58psi. It starts rough and has some hesitation in it while on the road. Hope we can get this solved very soon.

After a total of 12 years, my 67 is 99% finished! I have to fix some minor issues and it will be 100%. I got it home right before dark last night and took this with my phone. Here is a preview of it finished. More detailed pics to come this weekend when I get a chance to take some with a good camera.
