Ironworks is building a 1962 Bel-Air with a Blown LSX-376 and Ironworks Chassis

[coolwelder62]

Good Lookin car.Perfect for Big and Tall guy's.:willy:

[GregWeld]

I've been "conversing" with The Rajha about these pics... because they're just plain weird to me.. and I'm 100% positive it's the camera angles used. So maybe he'll post up some pics and have Brycen take them so we get a normal view. :faint:

I'm not building a low rider hopper... and if I am... it stops today. :lol:

[kennyd]

that sits perfect for a 61-64 .


and everyone kiss my ass on my intros ! lol

[GregWeld]

Dude.... we're going to add a panel paint job and then with the Intros it'll be perfectly suited to cruising Ark Kansazz.

[fleet]

That wouldn't be my opinion -- but I'm hoping it's the camera angles... I'm reserving judgement til I see it next week... but right now... I'm a bit "stressed" to say the least.

Speaking of 'intros'... lol... appears that Bakertuckey is

YOohAwZOSGo



:lol:

[pokey64]

Thats one cool looking shortbed Elcamino! Is Greg getting a hot tub put in the back!

It's an extended cab to boot!

Greg,
I think it's just a combo of the low camera angle, standing close with a wide angle lens, and not having the glass in.

[waynieZ]

I think its the back glass being out , you don't realize how far back that back glass comes. I think it looks good..

[96z28ss]

We all like to throw some ribs at Gregs stuff. Seriously this car will be bad azz!
Its not a low as a low rider and not on dayton wire wheels.
look at these pics they look bad azz

[syborg tt]

Car looks nice - it appears to have a little bit of the Alloway rake.

Yes once the rear glass is in and you get a shorter guy to take a picture it will look normal and these wheels have timeless look no reason to buy some trendy wheels that will date the car in a year or two after it's finished.

This is the angle that tells me the proper stance is obtainable:

That wouldn't be my opinion -- but I'm hoping it's the camera angles... I'm reserving judgement til I see it next week... but right now... I'm a bit "stressed" to say the least.

I agree with everyone above Greg, The glass will make a huge difference. And like Marty said the wheels in my opinion are timeless, but you have to like it more than everyone else.:)

[64pontiac]

I think that the body line that drops to the rear is throwing off the stance too.... seems that the back needs to come up just a hair over "level rockers"?

+1 on the rear glass.

As far as wheels, I like them but if you did a mixed finish on them with some darker color in there it might make it look less 90's street rod. there is alot of cool components to that wheel and a ton of different ways you could do a two tone finish on that wheel!

[GregWeld]

I absolutely think it's too low... but that is totally adjustable -- and we are trying to see how low the Ironworks frame can go... Obviously -- Pretty low!

Rodger took the pics I've been whining about - while laying on the floor - with a FISHEYE lens... that distorts the view from being on the ground AND a fisheye stretches things in a funny way.

Trust me guys -- WE know a stance... so no need to break out the panel paint and lace yet!

:rofl:


Now where'd I put those hydraulic fittings.... :_paranoid

I just ordered a chain steering wheel for you also. Don't worry we can have it dipped in Gold for you.

You guys still using that cheap Gold - here in Chicago we use Platinum, Scandium and even that Carbon fiber stuff.

Gold it out man to much shinny bling

[56pickup]

Greg,

I think the stance looks great but I think the car could be raised up an inch or so. I also think that when the front bumper is put on you would be able to tell how low it really is. I really like this build and cant wait to see it when its done! :thumbsup:

[Musclerodz]

its not any lower than a new corvette, just twice as long as one.

[WSSix]

I wouldn't raise it a bit. I love how long and low it is. Yeah, I like a lot of tastefully done low riders too. In the end, its your car though. Raising it a touch won't hurt the looks either. The car is going to be awesome that much is a given.

[GRob]

This could be epic but right now it looks too low. But the concept is brilliant. Really looking forward to this one. Check out Porsche for some metalLic browns.

Stop!! Stop!! You guys are killing me.:rofl: :rofl: For real, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Back in the late 80's when I was in high school, guys had the triple gold wire wheels in a 13" or 14" sticking out 2"-3" past the fender. That was cool as hell back in the day, but boy was it silly. And you are right Sieg, your car had to be brown if you had triple gold wire wheels. And, Dayton's were too expensive, so everyone had either McLean's or the one's picture here with the Eagle on the centercap.

[E.rodz]

Nice progress guys.is the frame in the car ? or are you guys just playing with the ride height for the new chassis to follow suit? the way the cad drawings looked this is going to be a unibody car? or is the chassis going to bolt on? keep up the great work. ps. you might want to add more length to the pedal travel so gregs legs can reach the pedals.:lol:

The Final prototype Chassis is FINALLY under the car. That is as low as the ride height can go on our chassis.

The Car has adjustable electric Brake and Gas pedals from a modern car. That should make it more comfortable for everyone.

[syborg tt]

I am hoping this chassis looks half as nice as the one under your black Truck.

PS. I am not sure Greg could afford the three girls maybe just the painting of them. Of course that might get him in trouble also.

[preston]

I don't understand you guys -

"The car looks too low".

You can tell me the car is functionally too low and will hit driveway ramps or speed bumps. But this crap about "the car looks too low" , that is not possible.

Okay the idea of a 1" rake back to front would look good though.

[syborg tt]

I agree - I love the stance and if this is a completly Bolt-On Chassis that is pretty Awesome.

It's like I said to Rodger.... there's only one guys opinion that counts... and that's the guy that is paying the bill. :cheers: :woot:

However... everyone needs to remember that Ironworks is also developing the chassis for these cars ('58 to '64 X frame cars) and this was/is the basis for this car being built in the first place. So if you like LOW... then this is the chassis to look for because obviously it get's 'er done!

I'm really looking forward to seeing this car at finished stance and in paint.........even if you don't go with the wire wheels. :unibrow:

Greg,

Really looking forward to what you and Rodger/IWK end up with since you're starting with a clean sheet of paper.

At the end of this colorful saga, I suggest a set of Intro wheels be given to the loyal, enduring thread subscriber (human or automated) that correctly guesses how many paint samples you'll end up having looked at.


:lateral: :woot:

[syborg tt]

Uhm, Doubt it - see Rodger borrowed them from Kenny 62 that is at his shop waiting for a Chassis to be completed. So unless Rodger coughs up the Money to pay for them, then they need to go back to Kenny.

Today was a fun day, We rented a scanner in Orange County this weekend and Bob Braga brought it up to the shop to scan many elements of the 62 Bubbletop. We are working on designing the grille, headlight bezels, gauge pod for the dash, taillight bezels and side trim. We got a lot of details hammered out and look forward to progressing on with the project.

[tones2SS]

Man, this car is getting some special treatment. Good stuff.:thumbsup:

I think we're starting to get hooked on the technology. Carefull - you'll wanna buy one of those rigs for your shop !! :yes:

Jim

[96z28ss]

I don't know of any shop that could justify the need for a piece of equipment like that. That romer arm with perceptron laser scanner and tripod is over $150k.
Renting the scanner and designer who can run the software is much cheaper and cost effective.

Bob spent all day scanning the stuff we (Rodger) wanted him to get done. Then I took him to Bakertucky International Airport. Not sure if he got a flight home or not since there were no aero planes in sight! LOL

I'm still here -- and will start hauling the broken '32 home in the morning. It's been an epic trip!

Weld...the car is amazing. Such a bummer that it's been a pain to get it done right. Sure, cars like that will have a small issue or to during shake down, but it's been a bit much. Especially for what you've paid for it. Sorry to hear it's still not 100%.

Lord only knows.... I have some parts that are pretty well abused!

:woot:

[GregWeld]

So I'll get hammered on this -- but on Monday we worked on a few details -- seat position - dash - and pedals etc - as well as the stance.

Brycen had to take the dash out of the car and cut it all apart to make the changes I asked for. Pretty amazing that he was able to do this while we worked on some other stuff! The dash is going to be moved "out" about 3 INCHES so I can reach the switches and the stereo etc. We also SUNK the gauges into the dash - and angled them... Of course these are just mock up pieces as they'll be tapered and much more detailed than these cups are.

Put a jack under the rear end and put a little boost into it... this is up about an inch...

I'm not going to make any derogatory comments about changing the dash to fit you. After all, AMG plucks homeless Germans of various heights/weights off the streets to make sure customers of all sizes fit their cars. You're proof of that. :thumbsup:

Two things stand out in these pics.

1- That's a nice Nova in the background.

B- Raising the rear 1" shows off the Intros better. :yes:

You have to click on the "green thingy" that looks like "film" and then copy just the YouTube part of the address AFTER the = sign.

The problem is when you try to paste it in between the [ YOUTUBE ] [ /YOUTUBE ] it cuts the right side "[" and you have to add that back in... try it and you'll see what I mean. When you paste it cuts out this "["--------->[/YOUTUBE] so then won't work.

[Sieg]

I click the share link below the video on youtube and copy that link

Then paste it into my post and it looks like this:

Then you need to delete everything left of and including the hash mark like this:

Then I highlight that portion and click on the green video icon in the menu and that wraps the tags around it.

I didn't want to hurt Greg's feelings but now that he's out hopefully the new owner will go with something other than Intros. That was the only thing holding the build back. :rofl:

[GregWeld]

My first set of "Intros"..... a Sears 3 speed -- I chipped in $17.00 and if I remember right it was $49.95. It was my 10th (so this would have been taken August 30th, 1963) birthday present.



That's my Dads '62 in the background....

Nice story and pic Greg.

I sharpened your pic up a little....on a PC.

:lol:

[FETorino]

Cool pic and nice story.

Are you sure you don't want to finish the 62. Seems like there's some history with model you may regret abandoning.

[Rick D]

Greg how come you are not going to finish this build? Just to many others or just not feelin it any more? Cool picture and story, but that bike does look a little big for you:lol:

[GregWeld]

It would take a lot of typing to give a DETAILED reason -- but summing it up as just not feeling it -- is exactly it. As the build moved on -- I found myself asking "why am I building this" more and more.

Now that my little '32 drives great... I'm loving driving it. I'm loving driving the track car ('65 Mustang)... I haven't driven my Nomad for a year (loaned it to my sister and brother in law) and haven't missed it. I still have a '37 Ford that either needs to be "done" or I need to decide that it just needs to go away.

The '62 is like the bike -- it just felt HUGE to me -- and I like the "fit" of my cute little '32... My S63 feels the same way -- huge... but there is a REASON for it (4 buddies and golf bags). I feel more comfortable wheeling our R8 around...

There's really nothing complicated about the decision. I just wasn't falling in love with the car other than the rendering which is super kool... but super kool for someone else. :cheers:

Theres a joke in there begging to get out.

Give those guys at Ironworks a real challenge. Chop, channel and section away till the car is roughly a 20% smaller scale version of itself.

[61ragtop]

Love the car Guys :thumbsup: , Sorry to hear you are not happy with it but as you say the only one who's opinion that matters is the owner and if its not your thing it is better to get out before it gets too deep.

Unfortunately in the time you have had with this car you have made me want to tear my car apart and start all over!! (Although I would still keep my intro's on it) Wish I had the tools, time and cash to do it but until then it will roll as is with little upgrades here and there.

I Look foreword to the completion of this project and am sure the new owner will be more than happy with it.

[Sieg]

.....but there is a REASON for it (4 buddies and golf bags).
.......I imagine robbing $125,000 from the build budget for your new putter didn't help.

[waynieZ]

You have to do whats right for you. I've changed directions on my build on a smaller scale many times so anyone building a car should be able to understand this. Enjoy the 32 and if it goes someone will get a sweet project to complete.

[syborg tt]

Well the problem I see here is the bike is way to bike for you. Was you Dad hoping you were going to get taller.

Here are some parts we had in motion before Greg decided to put the 62 project on hold.

The taillight showed up last week. SWEET

They just need sanded to fit the lotus taillights that last little bit.

Looks like what was Greg's chassis will either be the new owners chassis or Kenny's. Don't get your hopes up buddy. :D :D :D :D

I need to get a frame done for Columbus for the New Product Awards so we can try for Back to Back awards this summer

ABANDONED is a rather strong word... I SUSPENDED building until further notice -- I didn't ABANDON the project. Bills are paid. No balance due.... and I still own the project. So right now - those are my lights.

Just to be perfectly clear.

Can't wait to see them on the car. It should change the look out back, really updating the look.

It's funny how people keep pinging me about "WHY" I put this project on hold... everyone is looking for some ulterior reason... you know - like Rodger is screwing me - or the work isn't what I wanted or some other BS!

I'll say this one more time -- so everyone gets it. Rodger and I talk daily - as friends FIRST and FOREMOST. The project has always been just "something to do" for me... and was never really the dream car of my lifetime. Kool? Hell yes! But these builds are time consuming - lots of decisions to make - details, details, details. So with that -- you go to bed thinking about it - the what ifs - the maybes - the color combo... all that.

Now -- I'm also working on this trailer/toter order... and traveling -- and have track car and show car dates etc.... and I just didn't want to be distracted... and have to "think" about the '62 for a couple months. That's as simple as it gets folks...

In the meantime -- a guy stops by Rodgers shop and asks about the build and may be interested in taking it over. To which I said "I'm okay with that" at the right price. If not - We'll finish the car and cruise the crap out of it etc.

So to everyone with their panties in a wad. Get over it - there's no wreck to look at... no dead bodies...

And with that -- I'm off to Monte Carlo to watch a Grand Prix. Yeah - it sucks to be me. :unibrow:

Nope ---That would be "Octopus" -- owned by Paul Allen that you're referencing. Octopus is 414' and the yacht in this picture is only around 300'. I'm using the M/V Laurel just outside this picture to judge against. The Laurel is 240' and was built up in my neck of the woods by Delta Marine.

Well I'm pretty excited that this project is finally back under way. Greg Heinrich who owns the 70 Chevelle and 55 Chevy, referred us to a close friend of his that was looking to have a custom car built, but could never get anything that fit him and was comfortable to drive. Cliff is 6"8" tall and wanted a car that would fit him well unlike most everything you can purchase new. Greg told his car building buddy was also a Giant and could get that handled. The discussion was that 1962 Bubbletop is one of the few cars that has a tall roof line and looks awesome in a mostly stock form. So all we had to do was reverse everything from the Short guy who owned it before to the Super tall that owns it now.

The Plan is to have the Ironworks Impala Chassis under the car with a Twin Turbo LS engine with a paddle shifted 4L80E trans. We plan to have this car completed for early 2016. Its time to be hammer down on this project.

Thanks but we are doing the Holley Dominator system to have the ECU and TCU in one unit. We are leaning toward more of a Sequential trans shifter from a CTS-V.

I knew by the look on your face after we had done all the work with the electric pedals and long travel Mercedes seats to get you to fit in the car, that when you could not reach across the open the other door, it was over. It just took you 2 weeks after that to tell me, you were done.

It is ironic that the deal breaker for you was the selling point for this guy. I just take the seats and slide them the other way and adjust the brake and gas pedal brackets the other way. And Whammo a guy bigger then me feels normal in the car.

Same thing happened to me with the 94-96 Impala SS. I love the looks of those cars. Took many years before I got the chance to drive one. When I finally got the chance, I was so let down because the car is too big. Even an 6 foot tall, I'm too narrow to fit the car correctly as a driver. I can't even put my elbows on both arm rests at the same time comfortably. I fit in an F250 Super Duty more comfortably than I do the Impala SS. I still like the looks but I'll never own one. No sense in owning something you're uncomfortable in.

94-96 Impala SS.

Gotta admit though, those were some sweet cars for that time frame. Honestly, I still want one in my collection. A buddy of mine has one that he bought brand, spankin new in 1995. He's upgraded it with an LS3 and a 6-speed automatic, big brakes, 3-piece 20" wheels and a host of other goodies. It is one bad car.

Here is a sneak peak of the Twin Turbo engine getting the basic layout for the exhaust plumbing. We are working with Kurt Urban Performance and Eric Turner for a bitchin twin throttle body water to air intercooled cross ram for the engine. The stock plastic manifold has to go.

We are starting the basic interior layout for the dash and front seats. We are going to use the Dakota Digital VHX cluster and just machine our own housing for the cluster to get the desired exterior look with their internal guts.

Marcus, I hear ya! Bill Goldberg used to be a neighbor of mine, and he had one at the time that would absolutely move! That car was quick.
Of course he's a big dude, and he fit the car pretty well, so I see what Trey is talking about also.

They are sweet cars...we blew up or old streetfighter racing an ls1/t56/vortech blown 95 Impala SS in Huntsville.

Worst part, was we drove the car there, instead of towing it...waited 6 hours for the truck/trailer:waveflag:

We have had quite a bit or progress on this project lately.

The headers and exhaust are getting built.

IF -- this project was still mine... I'd ditch that big fat ass front bumper and do something really small and discreet... The way it is now it looks like it's got a big fat wad of chew in the lower lip.

Enough about the front bumper! I already gave him a hard time about the bumper and he was saying it wasn't quite done....wait that was the 55.

Im thinking the front bumper on these cars is harder to change then the front bumper on a 69 Camaro. Nothing is ever an improvement. You do realize a big fat ass car needs a big fat ass bumper.

Otherwise it will look like a girl with big butt and no boobs.

[Sieg]

Possibly thin the bumper 1"+, move it inward .5"+, make a lower valance with a minimal splitter that compliments the dominant body lines. :headscratch:

Did you look at Neil's IG? He narrowed it a couple inches today and moved it back about that. No need to tin it as it will look thinner when chromed and not make the car look any higher then it should be.

Progress on the bubble top has been good. She is pretty much in 2nd prime awaiting to address some small issues to get it ready to coat the chassis and put it back together on the chassis. We want to final block the car on the chassis where it will sit till the end of days. These cars move around alot.
We are fitting the dash to the interior and getting the seating position dialed. We have a few more parts to build under the hood to finish the intake. But we are very close.

Man this might be the deepest question I have ever had on a message board.

The car is really the same concept that is was in the beginning. The road became more defined as the journey continued on. But if you go back to the original dash concept to the big chunk of billet sitting there it is still the same concept. I think if you around the custom car world you can look at a car and tell who built it. Their style stands out as much or more then then actual car styling from the manufacturer of car originally.

These are some original sketches we did of the dash concept

Good ideas never go out of style but the way you pull them off will change as you learn new methods to do things. We are doing more and more in Solidworks as it allows us to think deeper and get more detail then you could afford to in making some parts by hand.

[crestronwizard]

Since this one is ready for delivery to the custom and we have all the engine and tuning issued dialed. I figure I will close out this build thread. This car has to be one of the quietest custom cars I have ever ridden in. The turbos really kill any noise going down the highway. Its might even be boring. Being a big old boat it sure rides good. We might even just drive the car to the owners house instead of delivering it in the trailer. You can check our website for a ton more build pics.
