Project ... 'TAKE-OVER'

[Sheck44]

Well Gents ... I'm back into the PT world
When a 'too good to be true' opportunity presents itself sometimes you just have to say F$#! it, and jump right in.

Back story ... My good buddy has been working on this car for the past 5 years, he's spent a TON of $$$ on it and a LOT of $$$ in parts. Body and paint is an absolute 10/10 (as you can see) but he's run out of steam and called me on Friday to see if I wanted to take this project over and I said "Hell yes !!". I went to see the car with my mechanic / builder yesterday and even he was shocked to see just how incredible this car is ....

So, overall objectives for this car;
Complete this car in the next 6-8 months
Possibly bring it to Detroit 2025 & Motorama Toronto
Then it will be SOLD

Build Hi-lites
Elite Show car quality build
Black on Red
LS3 / Edelbrock Cross Ram engine
DSE front and SpeedTech rear
Wilwoods front & Rear
LOTS of cool sh&!

Super excited for this journey

So lets get started with some pics ...

Can't wait to see this finished!

I'm extra excited to know what you think of the cross-ram intake. A few years ago I read (and watched) about that improving power (Edelbrock's site: "Dyno testing resulted with gains of 27 horsepower and 28 ft-lbs. of torque over a popular aftermarket manifold."). It's not "cheap" but it looks really cool and is almost guaranteed to be different than the other LS cars at the show.

No it's not cheap ... and the computer to run the dual throttle bodies is DEFINITELY NOT cheap .. don't even ask !! And Juggernaut you are spot on ... you do this to stand out from the rest, not for more power. I think simply this is going to look awesome

Nice acquisition on the Camaro. Should be fun!!

[WSSix]

Oh, man. That's a gorgeous car. The wheels are a great choice. You have to keep those so long as the hoops fill out the wells properly.

I dig the cross ram intake, too. I would change the color though. Red isn't a bad choice. I think with the subtle strip and machined wheels, a more subtle color would be best for the engine though.

Best of luck on it, Steve. I know you'll make it great no matter what you choose.

[Sheck44]

Thanks Trey !
I am choosing to do a 'almost' full red interior ... thus the red pop in the engine bay. I want to open that hood and have the cross-ram make a statement, that's the jewel of the car.
Lets see how it comes out, if it too much its an easy paint fix

Question ... did you run the dual throttle bodies by wire or cable ?? If electronically which computer setup did you run ??

Cheers
Steve

[WSSix]

That will tie together nicely then, Steve.

I haven't run the dual throttle body arrangement.

[Sheck44]

LOL .... sorry Trey, I misread dig for did !!

New seats arrived, and I have to admit that these are VERY impressive.
Very well constructed, SUPER comfortable and include lumbar support !!
Of course these will be stripped and re-upholstered in red leather ... with some very cool touches

Subscribing!

This is going to be an "Out of this WORLD" build! Looking forward to what you have planned for it.

[Sheck44]

Thank you Matt

I know its just another 1st Gen build, 'been there done that' so many times here on Lateral G and the fact that there are so many incredible builders (shops) doing extraordinary things BUT ...

I believe the true beauty of this build and my vision is the simplicity, overall focus on design and functionality, selection of components and materials that will make this car a standout both to look at and to drive.

We will see !!

Cheers
Steve

[WSSix]

I love going through Skip's thread of just car pics. You see so many variations on "pro-touring" builds. I'm reminded of the various design styles as they changed through the years. Some of those styles did not age well. The cars that I like the most are the ones that stayed true to the original designs and just tweaked and polished them. I don't think you can go wrong with that route for a build ever.

Trey, could NOT agree more .... My buddy Andrew is at Good Guys right now sending me pics, and some of it is just too much, too overdone.

I just found this thread and I hope you do the red interior. I have considered bidding on this car and I realized I don't need another car.

But it does have a bad ass "Red Interior" which you may or may not like.

Ok So .... Seems that the ONLY set of headers that will work with this setup and clear the steering linkage is the set from SpeedTech themselves, and for those that are interested I found out yesterday that Ultimate Headers build the headers for Speedtech.

Ultimate Headers are awesome company to deal with. Very customer oriented.

Ok so ... bit of an update
The patterned leather came back and I was extremely unhappy with the design so that idea is now done and gone.

Back to the drawing board and decided to go with what had been my 1st plan and that was the leather and Alcantara combo, and am I EVER glad I did !!!

Harold and the guys at New Image Interiors knocked it out of the park with the selection and details on these ...

I think for the first time ever I'm going to question a decision you've made buddy . Is there a reason you didn't do a contrasting stitch pattern ? . Aside from my question.. absolutely gorgeous sests

Ha !!! What ?? .... LOL
We took a LONG look at contrasting stitching buddy, and it would have been too busy. Tone on tone was the only way to go with the red interior.

Rear foams done, March the 2nd the car goes to the interior shop !!

Spent some time with Sebastian, he's 3D scanned both the tunnel and the dash, we will be 3D printing a custom centre dash and console ... so cool

Morning all ...
Ok so, car has been moved to the interior shop, of course New Image Interiors as Harold is the ONLY guy in town that I trust.

There are 2 main focal points on this car that I wanted to separate this 67' (1st Gen) from the sea of 1st Gens out there ... One. the engine with the Edelbrock cross ram intake, and 2nd, the interior.

I am hoping the details of this interior shine through, starting from the chosen reds of both the leather and Alcantara, all the little special design elements and Ring Brothers parts throughout ... and the centre console.

Below are the recent updates to the 3D designed / printed console that we will be test fitting by the end of next week.

Landed safely in the shop ...

I have Dapper headlights and the fog lights too and they are definitely some very nice pieces. I highly recommend to others to spend the extra coin on these. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

That does not look like the older ones I've seen, hopefully the quality isn't slipping. I know these are coated black, but the welds are nearly invisible in comparison to yours.

[Sheck44]

Jody ... have to admit I was slightly disappointed with the finish.
Even on close-up, yours have NO visible welds.

I literally waited almost 5 months for these, they are WAAAY backed up and as you have suggested looks like quality is taking a back seat to production.

I've sent a note to the guys at SpeedTech

They were made by Ultimate Headers. Still looks like their flanges and cast elbows, but maybe Speedtech is getting them made by someone else now, or in house.

The ones in my pic were bought directly from Ultimate Headers as they make them for RS, Speedtech, and Morrison chassis as well as others.

[Sheck44]

Jody, nope ... in fact I chatted with Jim at Ultimate a few times wondering where / or when they would be ready. These are definitely Ultimates ...

Btw ... Thanks Jody, after I saw yours my OCD went into overdrive and this is what I was doing all afternoon !!

Full comparison of the one side I finished and the side I am going to do tomorrow

[camcojb]

Much better!!!!! Something changed at Ultimate, but good to know that they clean up nice. I agree you shouldn't have to do that.

[WSSix]

I didn't want to say anything since it's not my money, but I was thinking the same thing in those first pics you shared, Steve. I know Ultimate is not inexpensive. I was not seeing the asking price in the delivered product.

Could it have been you ordered raw finish and they do take time to grind and remove the welds on coated versions? Just thinking out loud.

They cleaned up great which I am happy to see. Will you leave them polished or have them coated? Good work!

[Sheck44]

So ... here's where it gets a bit confusing

On the SpeedTech website cost for the headers is $1699.00

https://speedtechperformance.com/product/lsx-headers-for-speedtech-pro-touring-gm-subframe-1967-1969-f-body/

And when you reference all the headers listed on the Ultimate site, specs/price indicate that you are in the 'satin' finish pricing ... guess not

https://ultimateheaders.com/2018/01/22/gm-ls-engines-version-ii/

Again, a little disappointing but nothing that cant be fixed !!

Trey, not sure yet, may leave polished

Oh, and stay tuned, we trial the D printed center console today

Cheers
Steve

[camcojb]

Looks like the mill finish to me, which should have been a lot less money. Oh well, now you've got a project lol. :thumbsup: By the way, polished doesn't stay that way once you start driving it. They turn a real cool gold hue immediately, but then get that chalky discolored look. That's why I end up with coated headers on my builds.

[Panteracer]

We have many Panteras with SS 180s on them that
don't seem to turn colors or chalk ... maybe they don't drive them much
or they polish them all the time
I have a set on order with my new engine and will see

[Sheck44]

Ok, spent some time at the interior shop yesterday testing out the 3D printed 'mock-up' console. We have a few minor tweaks to make to the final version but we are VERY close ....

Meanwhile the interior is turning out better than I could have ever imagined ... The feedback thus far is exactly what I was hoping for, incredible detail, craftsmanship, colour and that 'less is more'.

Just my personal opinion, but today everyone is trying to 'out-do' everyone else, and by doing so typically overcomplicate, too busy, too blingy etc. With this car, I wanted the colour and simple design elements to do the talking and again so far opinions absolutely agree, and I hope you guys do too.

In front of the arm rest sloping down will be the window switches and the E-stopp electric brake button. These will be inserted into a billet / machined faceplate.

We are using the Ring brothers shifter ring .... All of the custom components used will incorporate the similar design

Ok, spent some time at the interior shop yesterday testing out the 3D printed 'mock-up' console. We have a few minor tweaks to make to the final version but we are VERY close ....

Meanwhile the interior is turning out better than I could have ever imagined ... The feedback thus far is exactly what I was hoping for, incredible detail, craftsmanship, colour and that 'less is more'.

Just my personal opinion, but today everyone is trying to 'out-do' everyone else, and by doing so typically overcomplicate, too busy, too blingy etc. With this car, I wanted the colour and simple design elements to do the talking and again so far opinions absolutely agree, and I hope you guys do too.

Looks amazing! Well done.

[camcojb]

VERY nice work!

[WSSix]

Completely agree with your vision/opinion, Steve. Glad it's coming along as you wanted.

[F'in mine]

Steve, is that Harold the head honcho working on your interior? His shop re-covered some BMW seats years ago and they did a nice job for me. He even gave me some solid advice helping to motivate me into tackling & fabricating my custom console myself.
You keep pushing the envelope on some of your builds, nice. The only problem is you're making it hard for some of us to keep up with your high standards.

Keep up the fine work!

[Sheck44]

Ha ! LOL ... Thanks Simon, very kind words.

I couldn't push the limits on creativity without the man, the myth, the Legend ... Harold. He's actually got a new guy Hector, that has been invaluable with his input on some of the design elements as well. It's all the little things that take a car from great to awesome, so I can't take all the credit for the final product.

Car will be there for another week if you have time to stop in at Harold's and take a look.

Cheers
Steve

If I had a back seat like this I can see myself grabbing a beer and kicking back at some point while viewing the fruits of my vision/ labor.
That seat needs to be mass produced and I'm sure there will be plenty of 1st gen Camaro and Firebird guys wanting one. Very nice, props to Harold and company!

[OLDFLM]

That seat with the center hump would work great in 2nd Gens too!

Probably the best rear seat idea I've seen!!

Thanks Joe, appreciate the feedback, especially from a pro.

This 3D printed console turning out to be WAY more $$ than I anticipated, but when it all comes together I think it's going to make the car.

Will know soon enough

Holy Doo Doo this car is so over the top awesome !!


We need more pictures and when and where is the car going to debut ?

[Sheck44]

Thanks Marty !!

I am hoping to have her 100% complete by end of next month.
The car might be sold already, but still to be confirmed when she's done.
The plan is to rent this space for a couple of hours for a 'thank you' reveal party and invite all those that had there hands on the car as well as those that are interested in purchasing the car ...
And stay tuned for more pics

[QUOTE=syborg tt;734994]I can’t believe how good the engine bay looks


Thanks Marty ... this was a very tough decision as for the same amount of $$ I could have purchased an LT4. Building an LS3 Crossram is VERY expensive and now I know why most people don't do it. BUT, as you know I like to build sh!t that most do not. So yes I do give up some power Vs the LT4, BUT look at all the builds these days, all you see is LT4's.

I wanted to see something very special when you open the hood, and quite honestly I think we can all agree that the 'right' amount of HP for a street car is 500 whp and I am hoping that this is what we will see on Wednesday.

Cheers
Steve

:lol: :morepower:

I jest, 500 rwhp is a lot of fun. Good luck on the dyno.

[Sheck44]

Ok ... Off to Dyno, fingers crossed

That torque curve is a lot of fun!

Also, I stand corrected. Leaving the intake red was the right choice.

Car looks great, Steve.

Was going to post this elsewhere a while back but this looks like a good time for this question.
Who has the answer to keeping that steering wheel looking like new soft leather?
I love the soft satin look, but after repeated use the leather gets harder and buffed to a shine where you hold the wheel.
Any certain product or procedure to keep it looking new?

Chris, I cannot speak for others but I use the McGuire's Leather cleaner/care and have had great results with it.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Any updates, Steve?

[Sheck44]

Morning all ...
Actually Skip, I've been waiting for today ! At 11:00 am I am officially unveiling the car to the local car enthusiasts, and a fine gentleman that is travelling from Michigan to possibly purchase the car.

Stay tuned, LOTS of pics coming ! This car turned out to be spectacular

Show was an absolute success, BIG thanks to Mike for driving 4 hours to get here and see the car, could not have been a nicer guy.
