Maybe so...but, the only thing about colors like this are they're faddish and after spending several thousands on a paint job, you'll be tired of looking at it in a few years. Then again, who wants to repaint a car for those reasons.

What ABS system are you using?
It is a Delphi C6 Corvette 2006-2008 with a one off race calibration. It will work stock if you put in all the sensors but is not optimized for hi-Mu brake pads.
A more user friendly (not cheaper) is the Bosch system.

Basically cut the hump off one and weld it on the other for a double line clamp.

Jackass is with my idiot friend Jason in Iowa. Along with Thrasher,Red Devil,Mayhem and the green pile.
Red Devil was one of my favorite, Mark started building this right when I initially started redoing my 68'
but I was a big fan of "X" and its simplicity, white, black, minimal chrome, where's that one now???
For some reason I had a duplicate post and when I deleted it I got to the 1st page and then found a list of where the cars are,

It was developed for a “no ice mode” SCCA race cal. It is not commercially available. I have a very few flashed controllers that I use on my builds. I think I have 2 left.
There is a BMW Conti solution I have heard of. I have never tried it but I have seen people run it.
ABS is part of the issue. Good wheel speed sensors, pluming and wiring is the rest. ABS is not a cheap date and a lot of effort.

Interesting never thought of running the fuel line inboard of the subframe like that. Seems perfect to keep it hidden and clean. I have no doubts about the way it's being run, as I trust that they know what they are doing. Interested to see how close the exhaust will be to the lines. Might have a new project to move my line in the future to hide it.

Since you've owned or driven most of Mark's creations...
Any chance you (or Mark) would ever give us a brief rundown of the evolution of these Camaros? What you learned each time that you really liked or really didn't?
I'm sure Mark could pen a million pages on the tech differences, I'm just saying seat of the pants, real world driving...what makes each one better?

Not my work, but that's aluminum and yes, a DA gives that finish. I usually use 120 of 220 depending on how much surface damage I'm trying to cover.
Jimbo1367
08-24-2023, 12:08 PM
DSE always had a nice finish like that. I always assumed it was a sander(vibration) with some fine grit or steel wool pad attachment.
Cill,
Does Matt have any other workers or is he a one man show? Does he paint the “rides” in-house or farm it out?
Thanks,
Jimbo

Also, do you happen to know the process they used to get the trim to this state of finish? I see a scuff pad and some sanding disks...
