Very cool news Dave!! :thumbsup:

Interior
 

Interior came out sweet, what steering wheel is that? I am having a hard time deciding which one I want.

Looks very nice!
If you ever think about changing that gauge console to a glass one let me know.

Giddyup! :D

Thanks Tony. :)

Thank you. I am pretty happy with it, especially since it was plan B!

It's the Flaming River Waterfall. Lots of good options out there.

Yeah Yeah Yeah....where is this video?

Flash is negotiating with Japanese TV. Its all very hush hush, lots of citrus fruit being exchanged back and forth etc. etc.

If that deal falls through we'll see some vids...I guess.:mad:

Thanks. What do you have as far as a glass gauge console? Pics?

Easy killer. I don't remember you coming up with video so quickly! :willy:

If you must know, I was actually spending hours learning how to use iMovie on my friend's Mac (I'm a PC user but now want to get one just for this program). Really fun program and can be addictive once you get the hang of it. She did most of the work I have to admit.

Anyway, enough chatter.... hope you like.

Very cool Dave.:thumbsup:

What's your impressions of how it drives?

The Vid made me smile and brought back
 

lots of memories as to when I took mine out for the maiden voyage.

Congrats and your car looks bad ass!

I didn't know you were going to edit the video. Car looks good man.

That is really cool Dave, nothing like the first ride. Congrats to you!!

It looks mean. We need some pictures also :yes:

ok, I'll ask. Why is it idling so high? Looks great by the way.

Jody

Thanks. Lots of adjusting needed so it was a little sloppy... needs alignment, clutch adjusted, throttle pedal is loose, power steering reservoir is junk (being replaced with a better one), that shifter is pretty damn hard to get into 1st gear, but we think that may help once the idle is adjusted. Surprisingly, we didn't feel or hear any rubbing as low as it sits. Gonna move it up about 1/2" all around anyway.

Thanks Payton. It's a pretty vivid experience. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I wanted to have some fun after getting my new flip camcorder.

It was a great day. thanks :)

Thanks Tom. Pics are incoming!

Thank Jody.

Yes, I was waiting for this question. When we originally started it the idle settled down betw 1000-1400 or so, but then once we got out on the road it was up around 1800-2000. Not sure why. The tuner is coming by this week/weekend to plug his equipment in and check out all the vitals.

Oh, and max boost we saw was 7 psi just part throttling. That's with the intercooler and larger pulley hooked up.

it should idle fine at 950-1000 rpms, it did before. Sounds like the throttle blade is too far open, vacuum leak, etc. I'm sure the tuner can figure it out once he has access to the software and can see what is and what isn't happening.

Congrats again on getting it moving, big milestone.
Jody

As you know Dave, there once was a short, stocky, dimwitted bald man who lived with his parents. That all changed however, once he got behind the wheel of his Dad's GTO proclaiming loudly and proudly ... "I'm a bad man!"

After your maiden voyage Dave, I don't see how we can deny your membership any longer into the 'Bad Man' club.

Welcome!

:lol:

Thanks. It's a great feeling as you know, and just the beginning of more fun.

I can't remember his name, but the tuner that is coming over the Gearhead guys are really high on his skills. So I'm sure he will get it worked out.

I like being bad. :D

Congrats.
Car looks awesome. Interior is sweet.:thumbsup:

:woot: :thumbsup: :cheers:
Long time coming my friend!!

Yeah sure... :rolleyes:

:P

The car looks great, Time for some fun.

Thanks guys (especially you Skip :lol:)

It's great to finally be in my car after watching and seeing so many shots and vids of others getting on the road with their projects.

More fun to come!

looks sweet! still gonna put the front stripe or there?

You're welcome Flash. Just none of that stuff you laid on Jason a couple of weeks ago, Mr. Metro, or else!




:rofl:

Thanks AJ. Debating on the stripe or painting just the cowl section.... might wait a bit and see what I think.

That was a one time deal. :D

Wow the wheels are REALLY the right color. Good call!
Ill dig up some of my glass work. I havent done a Camaro yet. Ive done a lot of modern cars.

thanks man. yeah I was really happy how they came out.

I thought you meant you already had a glass console for a 68.

when can we get some pics of the car finished?

I'm sure Dave will post them soon. He's been real busy.

He's fortunate to be in the Kenny Banya business.

:P

car looks badass, you going to have it ready for the show at the end of the month?

Congratulations. I know you've been through a bit to get to this point but it looks like it was well worth the trouble. Can't wait to go for ride!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well... when it's finished. :D Are these cars ever finished? I realize we spent all the time videoing the car last weekend and no really decent pics. I'll post a couple of what I have.

And it is a very demanding business indeed. :D

Thanks! Yep, the plan is to cruise down from Sac with the Gearhead posse and be part of their team.

Thanks Curtis. Yes I was just telling my dad today that after 2.5 years of bitching, complaining, sulking, bla bla bla, it all doesn't matter much now. :)

You definitely got a ride voucher! :D

Keep your "MeatHooks" off a me!!
 

Holy crap, I almost fell outta my chair. I was finally looking at the thread w/ updates from Dave and came accross the vid from Skip? WaterCooledNelds, right? That is good stuff! Definitely some good characters here on the site....
:rofl:

We'll get some pics and some tuning done this wekend. Car has now been 4-wheel aligned, PSC steering reservoir is in transit, stance has been raised 5/8", etc. Looking forward to some longer joyrides this weekend!

The thing is a BEAST!!! :woot:

Yeah yeah yeah.... Skip doesn't need any encouragement! :lol:

Longer joyrides sound nice. :)

Jason showing me where the flux capacitor is.

you know now that i see it with the wheels on it its the american version of your 996tt!
those will look sweet in the garage next to each other.

:rofl:

Thanks Jason,

I learned to try and keep busy while I was.. uh .. unavailable for those 15 years for impersonating a poser. :mad:

And thanks for getting Vertigo to this point which helped Dave return to being at least a semi-productive part of society. Sooner or later he was bound to be missed.


:rolleyes:
