When Rodger and I were trying to decide on what Brakes the project '66 we are doing deserved we figured it would have to be the best so there was only one name that came up - WILWOOD

Thanks Wilwood! We look forward to working with you on this and future projects!!

John:D

P.S. How'd I do??:_paranoid :D

lol, pretty good! I hope they threw in a t-shirt, too. :D

Have any new pics? We need more Nova porn. :bow:

The word on the street is that John is going to start wearing a nascar style drivers suit, so he can properly display all the sponsors as he travel to columbus this weekend. Just don't ask him how the car was running.

I will see what I can do with some pics for the big cheese, today. The trans tunnel is looking Sick.

Rodger

I have a new name for the John's car:

Me trying to do the "sponsor" thing at Columbus!:_paranoid :willy: :lol:

I hope John dosen't get to hot wearing his driving suit all weekend in Columbus with the 'your name here' velcro patches everywhere.
I did hear that he has his own table set up every day from 1 to 3 to sign autographs and take photos with his fans.
The evenings are reserved for sponsor meetings.
I hope the extra body guards he's bringing will be enough to hold back the stampeding fans. Extra Sharpie pens and 8x10 for everyone.

Fans
 

Mick,

Sounds like you've already met John! He does have a 'following'.


--Eric

:hail:

No rest for the weary!!!:lol:

The only thing following me are crazy strippers and bill collectors!!:_paranoid :lol:

John

Well......I'll be leaving for Columbus in the next 10 hours and Rodger was kind enough to send me some photos so you'll have to be happy with these until we get back!

I'll try and take LOTS of pictures and maybe some video at the show and post it!

Wish me Luck!!!:)

John

Luck - you don't need luck - you just need a big memory card

I tried to but you had them all!!!:lol:

You BETTER send me some pics!!!:thumbsup:

John

Color ????
 

Well I noticed John is back from the show - so that must mean he has selected a color for this wicked ride ???? Rodger wouldn't have let him on the plane without making that difficult choice .... would you ?

Actually, he said he would lock me in a closet until I made my choice so I'm typing in the dark right now so excuse me if there are some typos!!!:lol:

John

It's kinda like picking out your favorite german beer.... there are a couple that you think suck - but you want all the rest of them.

Unfortunately the selection timer has run out on you - and the default color is hot pink. I don't think we saw a hot pink Nova did we ? (might be a reason for that - not sure :wow: )

Good luck !

Jim

We were at the House of Kolors booth and decided that Hot Pink was perfect for Micks Chevelle project!:rofl:

John

shoot me your addy and i'll send you some pics i only took a few

Rodger-how many peices is that rear portion of the tunnel? looks like a bunch. very nice sheetmetal work

I've been searching for a picture of that Hot Pink Nova since yesterday!!!!!!!

I know i saw one in (i think) Super Chevy a COUPLE years ago...(it had black tinted windows and was on the cover if i remember correctly) Pink, but still nice. Anyone?

Lead.

4 you can see them in the pic. 1 top back, 1 top tapered front section, 2 sides. We did lot of work on the pullmax and eckold and english wheel. It is pretty complex

Sweet work. I'll need one for the porsche. Don't throw away the templates ! (you could even do it now if that's easier ??)

templates????, Johns car is the template, that piece is one off

ya your right now i see it. I was going to guess four or five. Very nicve work did brycen(spelling) do that?

yeah i did the tunnel, it was alot of work.

I know everyone sometimes makes too much of a big deal about weight. I remember a recent thread where someone was asking how much the lead filler weighed on a subframe :rolleyes:

However I can't help but wonder how much all that steel weighs? Is it comparable to the stock stamped sheetmetal and frame? Or are we talking an extra few hundred pounds? Don't get me wrong, most of us add an extra 100 pounds in dynamat alone. All that steel though must add up?

BTW Awesome car of course, league of its own :cheers:

all the steel does add more if you look at just that. but when you consider the all aluminum LS7 and drivetrain compared to the stock cast iron. and the fact that we cut off about 5 inches from the sides and 2 1/2inches from the middle of the firewall. if i had to guess i would say it probably evens out or close to it.

looks killer bro

Props...:thumbsup:

Boys!

Let me just say that you can't even fathom how good this guy is!!!!:thumbsup:

John

Looks like lots of work - Awesome job!
