Jackass w/ LS9: original build and new Jackass 2.0 updates!

[Stielow]

This is Charlie's new car that is being built in Detroit. It will have an LS9 engine and typical Pro-Touring treatment. Attached are some photos of the car at Autorama last year in bare metal. Reiter's Metal Craft in Mt. Clemens, MI did the metal and body work. It was awesome to see the car in 100% raw metal. I've used Reiter for 4 projects and I've always been happy with their work.

Joe Borschk did the cage and exhaust work at Katech. Joe is back in business for himself at Stenod Performance after being at Katech for awhile.

Over all, the car is turning out great. I'm managing the project for Charlie while I'm also working on my '69 Camaro.

[DOOM]

Are those the new ZR-1 BREMBO calipers?? What color is it going to be?
Mario

[Stielow]

Yes the brakes are Brembo ZR-1. They are very cool and work very well.

We are painting out some samples to sort out the color. The plan is to be in color by Jan 1.

Attached are a couple more photos including a LS9 intake mock up. It should all work well. We are finalizing the engine bay prior to paint. Ron Davis made a one off radiator for better cooling with integral oil and power steering coolers. The ICHE (Intercooler) is also upsized over the ZR-1 for better blower efficiency.

[XcYZ]

Joe does awesome work.

Can't wait a ride!

[DOOM]

Are these calipers available through GM parts already??

[ZMAN1969]

effin sweet! whats the deal Mark did you get tired of your cars going to him? Charlie is addicted to cool cars :bow:
1st in line for a ride? :thumbsup:

[Tom.A]

It's neat to see that LS9 sittin in there:thumbsup: Thanks for posting.

[Aschle]

That will be an amazing car when it's complete...it's amazing now...! I hope to one day have a car of that caliber.

Jason

[camcojb]

thanks for the pics Mark. Can't wait to see it and your blue one on Power Tour.

Jody

[awr68]

Very cool build! Thanks for sharing Mark!!

So Mark, what are you building for yourself?

[WILWAXU]

Great looking project! :thumbsup:

[Rybar]

Killer, love Mark's build styles. :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

I love the cars you and Charlie build I can't wait to see the performance with this engine in their. Please keep us updated.
Wayne

[olds87]

Another cool build, what the target date of jack @#! car?
Sorry, I just have to say that.
:thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

I'm really interested in seeing what the LS9 can do with the wick turned up. It's amazing to think that the box stock LS9 makes 638hp AND maintains a 100,000 mile warranty while meets all emissions targets.

[XcYZ]

Another cool build, what the target date of jack @#! car?
Sorry, I just have to say that.

Jackass is the Mule's cousin. :D

I thought Jackass was the step child?:rofl:

[groovyjay]

And when can we expect the BUILD BOOK to be out? :unibrow:

Cool stuff so far, can't wait to see the rest! :hail:

[BLT2DRIVE]

Thanks for the post and link back over here. Your stuff is an inspiration to us all out here. Thanks, Todd

:thumbsup: :cheers:

[clill]

a few more pics

[Van B]

What goes in the boxes in the rear seat area?

[clill]

Whatever I can pack in there. No back seat, just a shelf to pile crap on and storage underneath. One thing learned on Power Tour is you always need something and there is never enough room in your trunk for all the crap that seems to show up.

[70TWO NOVA]

insane! cant wait to see it done. :thumbsup:

[WSSix]

Are the boxed areas in the trunk for suspension, exhaust, or...? Those storage compartments look great.

[XcYZ]

Are the boxed areas in the trunk for suspension, exhaust, or...? Those storage compartments look great.

The area in the trunk close to where the cage ties in is for added clearance for the exhaust around the DSE Quadra-link. Mark did the same thing in Camaro X.

[trapin]

Charley, you plannin' this one for Power Tour?

[clill]

Yes this should be on Power Tour in June.... Mule has done 4, Red Witch has done 3, Malitude has done part of 1, Camaro X has done 2...That is a big part of the fun with this stuff.

[Tom.A]

Is that a FPR mounted on the trans crossmember? I am glad you guy's shared the pictures with us little people. Please keep them coming :D

[awr68]

no, drive your own car..................... :yes:

Wouldn't that be nice! :yes:

you CAN do it Tony. Mine is totally blown apart right now, but you can bet the farm it'll be on next year Power Tour. I will fly up and help if needed............ :thumbsup:

I don't know, Tony. You've seen how most of Jody's deadline projects go here. You may want someone else to help so at least ONE of your guy's cars can go....:P

[awr68]

No worries, Malitude will be finished first!

Now back to Jackass!!

[Bow Tie 67]

Which front sub-frame is that?

[trapin]

Yes this should be on Power Tour in June.... Mule has done 4, Red Witch has done 3, Malitude has done part of 1, Camaro X has done 2...That is a big part of the fun with this stuff.
Cool. I'll be lookin' for it at the Tech Center when you guys come through Warren. That's if the Tech Center isn't padlocked by then.

[wiedemab]

Which front sub-frame is that?

It looks like an Art Morrison to me.

[Stielow]

It is an Art Morrison. We chose that to clear the stock LS9 accy drive. The DSE sub or stock sub would not allow the stock LS9 drive system due to the crossmember A/C comp problem.

Mark

[tones2SS]

WOWWWW!!!!!
Gonna be a killer car. Keep us posted please.:hail:

Charley,
Will you use a 9" or a 12 bolt rear?

Please keep the pics coming

[clill]

We use a Currie 9" virtually every time. Good stuff.

[ZMAN1969]

Charley, Mark - man I like what Y'all are doing - was the trunk pan narrowed on the front corners for exhaust clearance? :wow: what color is it going to be? cause you know ill find you on the tour :bow:

[clill]

Yes that was for exhaust. It will be Daytona Yellow.

[GrnDragon]

The ZR1 brakes are already available?
Are they really in the $10k range for rotors/calipers/pads?
That is one sweet build you have going!!!

[Jr]

Yes that was for exhaust. It will be Daytona Yellow.

Daytona yellow? Who picked this color? Mark usually has a great eye for color...My favorite is the first camaro he did...white with blue stripes.

[XcYZ]

This is Charley's car and Mark is overseeing the technical side of the build. I don't know that Mark has said what the color his new LS7 69 Camaro will be.

[Jr]

Scott,
I understand that this is Charley's car. IMO, Friends dont let friends paint cars yellow(I am not a fan of yellow). This car is on the same level, if not higher, as the mule. I can't imagine a badass yellow camaro. I thought I read a story where Charley thought the Audi silver Mark used on the Mule wouldn't work...I could be wrong about that. I'm sure this will be one hell of a car. I can't wait for some video of this car haulin the mail.

David

[XcYZ]

I like Yellow if it's bright enough. Kurt (Autokraft) has a 68 Camaro that's Velocity Yellow that I think looks awesome. :cheers:

[Jr]

Kurt's car?

[Ummgawa]

Charlie

Are you going to have a sight Glass hood like the ZR-1?

[XcYZ]

Kurt's car?
http://www.autokraft.org/gallery/68camaro/

Well, Shawna's car. :D But I didn't figure anyone would know who that was. lol It's an awesome yellow.

I also thought the Alumin8r looked fantastic, but that had black stripes. Knowing Charley, Jackass won't have any stripes.

I guess a person has to be a fan of yellow, which you are not. For me, it's the color green. Never been a fan.

I'm hoping we have pics of Jackass in paint in the next few weeks. :cheers:

[Jr]

I'm hoping we have pics of Jackass in paint in the next few weeks. :cheers:

Pictures would be great. Maybe this car will change my outlook on yellow. :thumbsup:

Well?

[jeff hanson]

Lookin good guys, As always.:thumbsup:

If I was doing another one, it would be this car to a tee...wait...um, yellow...ok maybe not to a tee, but you get the idea.:lol:

I guess I'll just watch this thread and save the time and boatloads of cash!:D

Keep the pics coming!!!:cheers:

[clill]

No the ZR1 brakes are not available yet. Yes I like yellow and too bad to those that don't. No it won't have a sight glass hood.

[clill]

I realize this car isn't going to wow any of the folks that like all the Billet and the dash/interior that look like modern cars. If I want a modern looking interior I can always rent a new Taurus or something. This car is meant to be a nice functioning car. I happen to like standard 69 door panels. Mark and I have kind of the same taste when it comes to bling on Camaros. I have street rods for bling. I had different samples for paint including a current Camaro yellow but I just think 69 Daytona yellow just looks the best on a 69 to me. There are plenty of cars that will out show this car at a car show but what will they look like after you drive them for 10K miles ? I wanna drive this car and not spend the weekend detailing, polishing etc.

[SVTforme]

Great choice on the yellow and lack of bling.. should be an impressive car to say the least.

[waynieZ]

I love the Daytona Yellow . The first Camaro I fell in love with was a Yellow 69 Z28 and I was hooked from there. This is going to be a sweet car. I wish I was putting any LS motor in my car. I can't wait to see more.

Charley, are you going to do an Endura bumper? How about the grill, are you doing silver or black?

I think this car will "wow" pretty much anyone that looks at it. I have to say, I like some bling on a car, but once you drive one that actually drives and performs good, all you want to do is drive, so I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of having more than one at a time right now, so I pretty much have to roll everything into one car. I have had a lot of fun with mine, but the next one will be all business. Can't wait to see this car come together and actually see it in person! If you need me to go check the progress from time to time, or make sure no one is slackin, let me know, I'm close:lol:

[Payton King]

Took me 3 years to decide on which yellow to use. It came down to Chrome Yellow which is a Ford color and Viper Yellow. I chose Viper Yellow sprayed on a white base. The color really pops.

One of my friends growing up has a 69 SS, Daytona Yellow, beautiful car!

[clill]

Endura and probably a black grill.... At least I know I shipped a Endura with it...

Charley,
Do you know which set of rims you are going to run? Will this car see the race track?

[clill]

NICE CAR!!!!:hail:
Do you still have it?

No. I sold it a few years ago right before the prices jumped. I

[Jim Nilsen]

Hi Charlie, The whole idea of Yellow makes me smile. For years I have painted my vehicles Yellow and they always bring smiles to peoples faces. Some hate yellow but that's them.

Even the fastest Ferraris have been known to be Yellow and not Red. the privately raced Ferraris are either Black ,Yellow or White from the info I have seen.

It will be a beautiful car when done and maybe now as some have said, they just might start to have a reason to like it!

I look forward to seeing it in person someday next year !!!!

[clill]

Charley,
Do you know which set of rims you are going to run? Will this car see the race track?

It will use the stock ZR1 wheel tire combo.

[Stielow]

We were promised the LS9 before Chistmas. So once we get that we can do the final mock up then go to paint the first part of Jan.

I'll post some pixs when we get the engine.

Mark.

[66LS7]

Carlie I think your going in the right direction with the build keeping the low bling stock kinda feel. I kept the same approach with the Chevelle & it turned out awsome. I hope my 70 Camaro project is recieved as well as the Chevelle. Great project, any extra LS9'S laying around, would look good in my Camaro as well. LOL:rofl: :lateral:

[66LS7]

Sorry about spelling name wrong Charley

[zcrz]

I think the vette motor and drivetrain will be plenty of bling:cool:

[coolwelder62]

I have been a fan of Marks work & build style for years. And its not going to matter what color this ends up being painted. Every person on this web site would take the car no questions asked. If it was offered.The main thing is that is what charley wants. So enjoy the car & I hope to I have a chance to see it in person. Scott

[Payton King]

ZR1 wheels. If you don;t mind please PM me where you got them and the price.

thanks

Here is another option for Zr1 wheels, repro wheels for under $1k.
I provided a forum link since the wheels aren't on the website.

The ZR1 wheels are not released yet because of no pricing yet.

[Payton King]

I really like those wheels and they will look fantastic on your car.

[RamAirDave]

Regardless of color, it'll be a wicked ride, Chuckles. :D

I really like how some of the "ugly" aspects are being cleaned up rather than how they are commonly dressed up with bling, which draws more attention.

I dig those front inner fenders with the splash shield area cleaned up :thumbsup:

Hey now big fella...next to Hugger Orange,I think Daytona Yellow is the BEST color for a '69 Camaro...and if my '70 Z wasn't HO,I would have painted it that color too...but since it is,I went with the next,logical choice...Yellow,in this case Millenium Yellow.

I do agree that hugger orange is the BEST color for a camaro. Your 69 looks good. I like how the black stripes break the yellow up. Also, the rims compliment the color. I should have held my judgement until I saw pictures of the car. Regardless of the color, Charley's camaro will be kick ass. Maybe this car will change my mind of yellow.

Do you guys have any target goals, like weight, performance #s, etc?

I've always liked Mark & Charley's build styles...Subtle, yet brutal. It's nice to see another one in the works & also nice to see some Michigan shops doing good.

However- I'm not sure Charley will like like big whitewalls you have next to the ride there... ;)

That was a happy yellow. Nice.

[clill]

Stuart is the only guy that made money on that car.:willy:

Just a little. That was an awesome shade of yellow.

[Stuart Adams]

Reider is hammering away on Jackass. We hope to fire the LS9 on the dyno in a couple weeks with the GM Perf Parts controler and harness.

Are these brakes available through GM yet?? I would love to get a set!!

[rwhite692]

GM's MSRP on the ZR1 brake components is $12,183

Gene Culley is currently quoting $8,999

This includes four calipers, four rotors, 4 sets of brake pads.. (ZR1's are 1 set of brake pads per wheel, and the calipers and pads do not come with the caliper pin kits.)

Some are of the opinion that these brakes, if not used with the corresponding electronic controls, might not perform all that much better than the current C6 ZO6 setup (as Scott has on his car).

There just isn't much data on how they would perform when retrofitted to something like an older musclecar, and operated without the controls... yet.

There are definately lot of things to consider, apart from just bolting them up...of course you need at least a 19" wheel...

Here are a few, from the Corvette Forums:

Be aware that if you track a car with Carbon/Carbon or Carbon/Ceramic brakes you MUST use/make further modifications due to the higher operating temps.

The ZR1 required different front spindle bearing assemblies, due to the extreme heating generated in the rotor. So, plan on changing hubs and spindles.

The brake fluid used MUST have a DRY Boiling point above 600*F. There are ONLY 3 choices currently available. WET boiling point is a concern but is secondary:

Make / DRY BP F* / WET BP F*

AP PRF 660 / 608*F / 390*F
GS 610 / 610*F / 421*F
Wilwood EXP / 626*F / 417*F

I took a break from working on Jackass and had a buddy video me.:D

[waynieZ]

WOW if thats what you do on weekends, no wonder you like fast cars. lol

[jeff hanson]

This is seriously my dream car!!! I can't wait to see it at Autorama... I'm taking my car there, but I really don't know why I should even bother as I'll be drueling over this one all weekend! Is it still on track to be there?

[clill]

Yes it is still supposed to be there. They should be shooting yellow on Saturday.

[ironworks]

Would it be OK if I kind of disliked you a little. It's nothing personal

This will be one bad ass car, I was looking for another reason to fly to Detroit.

[brownz]

You might want to but the plactics gaurds on the brake rotors that GM has. they said to use them when the wheels are off a ZR1. they say that they can chip easy and once that happens they are junk. just somthing that i read in the tech article that they send to the dealers. LOOK GREAT :thumbsup:


EDIT found the GM service guide. it says that each ZR1 was shipped with one set of rotor protectors, they are blue foam pieces.you can get sets threw your GM ( chevy ) dealer threw GMSPO (general motors special parts order). or it says that you can geta 25.4mm (1in) foam pipe insulator can be used if you dont have a set of the protects. the protector should be slid over the rotor before the wheel is removed just in case the wheel may come incontact with the rotor.

[awr68]

Awesome...thanks!! :thumbsup:

[Roger M]

This is Daytona yellow, correct? Did Chevy have more than 1 shade of yellow in 69?

[XcYZ]

Looks awesome, Mark. Thanks for taking the time to post up some pics.

I love that pic............ :D Riding shotgun with him is a blast; he's a great teacher, and very patient with us MUCH slower guys.......... :yes:

Jody

[Vegas69]

I have to admit I'm not crazy about that color..but once I think about the LS9 and what I presume Butternut yellow my blood flows. One of the few that can pull it off.:thumbsup:

[clill]

Not Butternut. Butternut yellow puts me to sleep. This is Daytona yellow. Here are two of my old cars in Daytona yellow. Kind of a sickness I have.

[Stuart Adams]

That is a happy yellow. Perfect shade, IMO.

[XcYZ]

ZL1 :bow:

[slenning]

Looks Great Charlie!! :bow: I love the yellow. I was seriously thinking about painting my LS7 car yellow at one point. Keep the pictures coming guys.

PS I'm thinking about putting a LS9 in my 70 Camaro that I'm just getting started on. I may have to pick your brain later if thats ok.

[camcojb]

Not Butternut. Butternut yellow puts me to sleep. This is Daytona yellow. Here are two of my old cars in Daytona yellow. Kind of a sickness I have.

yeah, it didn't look like Daytona yellow to me either in those pics. Some camera's struggle with yellow, especially indoors. Glad it's not butternut................ ;)

[Vegas69]

Exactly Jody...I like Daytona my 68 was a similar color. :thumbsup:

[dropit69]

awesome Charlie !! i also have a yellow sickness just sold my yellow 98 gt..and my black 69 vert was originally daytona yellow so when i get around to redoing it it'll be yellow..can't wait to see this one done !!

At this point it is just stock except for the headers. Focus now is just getting it together for Detroit Autorama next month.
Later on it should be very easy t turn up the volume with the way the car is built.

[Reiters Metal]

Well it's a roller again, Mark is coming by tomorrow to take some more pic's!

[XcYZ]

You cracked carbon-ceramic rotors?

[customcam]

Very nice
Video clips will be a must :lateral:

[Reiters Metal]

[Orng Crsh]

Looks great! Just curious, what type of coating is used in the trunk? Thanks.

[monza]

Looks great... love the wheel choice, suits the car nice!

[Payton King]

I have been dying for a set of those wheel for my 69. I cannot wait to see them bolted up. Are the ZR1 wheels 19x10 in front and 20x12 in rear?

Are you running an auto on this one?

[XcYZ]

Are the ZR1 wheels 19x10 in front and 20x12 in rear?

I believe 20x13.

[Rybar]

Love it Charley and Mark :hail:

[z4me69]

according to the zr1 specs the wheels are 19x10 and 20x12

[Stielow]

Yes they are 19x10 and 20X12 should have tires tomorrow. :D

[chicane]

Mark... you should seriously be on Obama's payroll for National Stimulus.

Every time you build something... it just makes people want to spend.

[awr68]

I would love to see a shootout with all the cars (Red Witch to current) Mark has built! Would be fun to see how they differ with all the differant parts combos.

Looking great guys!! :thumbsup:
