Them damn knee dragers

got the shocks pulled out, sway bar positioning better. I'll work on the mount after I get The Black to the aligment shop this coming week.

The rest of the lower cage was tacked in and test fit. Very tight and right.

I think you'll be fine with 8 gals. I think you had a bit of fuel left over with the 5 gal fill.

What mount are we talking about? Did you get a pic of the crack in the firewall?

The mounts axle side. I'm going to set it and weld the supports in. There was signs of movement due to what I suspect was due to short rods. I want to address the tail pipe issues but I don't think I can this round. Those damn things are doing more bad than good.
Still have about 12 hours of welding to do on The Black, 4 hours of assembly to do on The Red, 10 hours of assembly on The Green which is coming back from paint Saturday and at least 15 hours left on your car. My goal is to lose 4 69 Camaros by the 25-27th.

Sorry, No pictures taken after 10:45, your just gonna have to be happy with after effects. We were just trying to get home before the clock hit tomorrow. Trust me, it was nothing spectacular.

10-4. Thought you were talking about the new mounts for the Penske's. Expect the car back after T-Hill for the new shock mounts but only if you can have them done in a couple of weeks after drop off cuz I want to head back out in June.

EDIT: Just checked the NCRC schedule. Would like to make the June 28 T-Hill track day so we have more time than two weeks.

cleaned up the wiring a bit...i'll post more stuff this weekend. Saturday should be a good day.

Thanks Vince. Looks like you have a decent pile of unnecessary wire that you removed. :thumbsup:

I think you left out 90% of the harness...I like it

don't even remember where we left off....spent the weekend with the ole two steps forward 10 steps back fiassco. decided to put his seats and steering wheel in a spec miata hoping he won't notice.:G-Dub:

Did i read it right? you going to t-hill on may 3/4?

Yep, coming up pretty fast.

:popcorn2:

Here are the pictures of the column mount and firewall plate to mount the Woodward unit.

now that the column is in and set to drivers preference we can start working on the dash layout. Since we are building a full custom dash at a later date we are building a temporary one so we can see how the driver likes driving with different layouts.


old and proposed new.

so this will be the last update till its done, i have way too much to do in 5 days. A run down, that's 2 cars to be done by Weds, a car to be delivered Weekend and another to be done by the following Tuesday. :waveflag:

But here is a few teezer shots.

1. Stay off the internet

2. Hire some help

:D

Stuff looks good!

Awesome! I really dig this!

Thanks Vince. Lovin it!!

Me too! Get ready GC. Won't be long now :cheers:

Oh, BTW I found this at Harbor Freight. Thought of you and Vince. You know, deadlines and all :lol:

Isnt that "gap spray"?

Vince, can you fit in my mini tubs wednesday before t-hill?

G, looking forward to meeting ya up at t'hill next weekend....love that car.

Thanks Ronny. Don't know how we'd get by without you . :lol: :cheers:
Buttonwillow in September? :unibrow:

Thanks glassman, looking forward to it. I hear this may be your first road course event? Just relax and take it all in. You'll be amongst good company should you need a hand. :thumbsup: You hanging out for the BBQ/Social?

Yeah i'll be getting b'bqued, i meen i'll be there for the bbque. School on sat and slideways (well you know) on sunday. Towing it up on friday. Waaaaay looking forward to it. see ya then...

Cool. I don't typically spend the night for T-Hill events but I'm pretty sure I'll be hanging out for awhile after this one to throw down a few and do a little bench racing. :unibrow:

Walmart has the lightweight racer stuff. :D

is it done yet? :action-smiley-027:

:lol: Smart Azz

Don't know. Vince cut me off. I was bugging him too much. All I got was a teaser pic of one of the rear shock mounts so far :hairpullout:

Well, I can attest that he's been at the shop. I swung by there yesterday, his truck was there but it was locked and he wasn't answering the phone. Head down and working hard Id guess.

True, no doubt on my mind he is nose to the grind stone. Always has been and always is when I visit the shop. Fact is he's buried and has another customers car that needs alot more work than mine, got there before me, and is scheduled for the same event. He's working his ass off trying to get the both of us there but he's only one guy.
On top of that he's my bud and I'm not going to push him just for one event. There will be many more down the road.

Sorry I missed you true, I was next door using my neighbors end mill. Long story but the shop has been fighting me tooth and nail. Then my compressor caught fire Monday night. Exciting stuff. Wasted most of the day Tuesday getting a new motor for it when I was supposed to be finishing up the black.

Orange will get done. I just don't want to push it and make a mistake for one event. I'm gonna get it done right for the rest.

No excuses, I screwed up this time, too much work and didn't account for set backs. But then again I never do.

Something done right > Something done fast

How we looking Vince? Please tell me were going to prove Weld wrong and have a car up there Sunday.

:theresa:

There is only one man that I need to prove my worth and I need only look up.
In no way was that reference to his height...just saying. not saying there is anything wrong with his height. :hitaxeonthehead:

who gives a toot what you got. run your race


I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Your car could go at anytime, im just slapping on race parts to solidify the fact that you guys want to call them street cars...still..... :EmoteClueless:

LOL 5 hour energy FTW

Good thing you don't do drugs and post Vin :lol: :cheers:

No doubt, I'd never get anything done.U

I rarely use caffeine but this week has been a holes and elbows. Between 4 69 Camaros, equipment fire , year and quarterly tax it's been quite interesting.

:popcorn2:

We're not holding our breath -- nor are we actually waiting for you... We're very happy just running our cars.

27 hour thrash, ended by a $2.75 AN o ring plug holding back oil.

Such as life.




Suck it Weld. :disgusted:

ROFL Skip!!! You nailed it again. That was us for the last 6 hours.
