Yeah I order from those and they canceled both because they were on backorder with no ETA.

Try this ?

Car is at the Dutchboys and they are working on it. Looks like they got some new tennis balls to block it.

I know you want white, but have you seen Chalk?
Might be kinda cool...

You're really trying to set clill off now.....:lmao:

I actually like that. Go figure...

That "chalk" color is such a beautiful color in person. I've seen many Porsche's with it and I like it...so much so, that I actually considered it on my Camaro with bronze wheels.

Is that light grey?

Aaron Oberle made me a new shift boot ring. It is big enough to pull the shifter if needed. Makes pulling and install the transmission easier. I like to fill the transmission from the shifter hole. Way easier.

Camaro LT5
 

Dakota Digital has finalized my gauges and are getting ready to make them. Great team to work with. They should look great!

Below the LT5 it should say “Stielow Engineering”

This will be in the digital screen during startup!

What!?! After all the gray/grey debate...I totally agree, it really is a good looking shade.

Great minds! We just got a chalk car and are changing the stock wheels over to something that has a hint of bronze!

Very light grey. Pics dont really do it justice. You can't really see how grey it is in pics.


Jeff-

I would say it’s more of an off white.
Or like a bone white.
Hell, have D.B. Spray a swatch

I guess it really pays to have friends in high places, very nice!

How about going to some thing like this for paint with matte black accenting, paying homage to the original hugger orange. Would love to see this combo on a 69.

Ya how cool would it be to see a Hugger orange Stielow build!

Mark...... I wonder if you would have some input on brake line size. I know a lot of your recent builds have ABS. What size brake line do you use? I'm using the DSE master (GM part) and booster on my 69 ...I will be making all my own brake lines and was looking to use 3/16" for the entire car. I know GM used 3/16 in the front (disc brakes) but ran 1/4" to the rear? Could you shed some light on what you normally do with your cars?? Thanks in advance.

The hard part is designing a one off bezel. Dakota Digital made the process very easy.

It is available to anyone.

Another issue with big power cars on open track days is brake cooling. I did big brake cooling ducts on Hellfire and they worked great. I did not do brake cooling ducts on Gunner and Jackass and those cars brakes felt soft on track and they killed brake pads.

We looked a few options on this car. Option one add cooling duct to the center of the front turn signal.

I kinda liked it but I felt we need more air flow. Modify velocity stacks.

Now I gave a 5 inch opening that will funnel air down the hydra formed DSE frame rail and dump air on the brakes.

On my builds I do 1/4 lines to the ABS module and 3/16 to the corners. In general if you copy what GM does it will work. GM and most OEMs are either cheap, worried about safety or durability. For ABS the bigger line is need to supply the volume of fluid needed for the ABS module. For a passive system that you are not gong to track 3/16 for everything should be good. If I was going to track the car with big brakes I would do 1/4 to the tee for the front and rear systems, Then 3/16 to the corners.

Mark

Thank you for your input!!

Nice, as usual Mark...

Mark, What has been your experience with the Hooker Black Heart exhaust system designed by Holley for the 69 Camaro with DSE sub and Quadralink? Does it fit in nice, any mods needed to make it work? I'm running and LT4 with all Holley mounts/crossmember. Did you use the Hooker system on your last build (LT4) ??

Yes it works great!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would you do the same size lines 1/4 to the tee front and rear with manual big brakes for the track? Note: 7/8" bore size master cylinder and caliper piston area spec'd for a manual big brake setup

If I was building it I would use 1/4. I think 3/16 would be fine.

I don’t have any good data on passive brakes. I have not used them for 12 years.

On my older builds I did 3/16 to the front tee.

It worked.

Mark

The reality of just how far ahead of the curve Mark is. Playing on another level. Everyone else still trying to figure out what master cylinder to use.:king:

Well if you're going chalk, you might as well go matte

I'm still voting for Hugger

GW's 40
 

Same color as GW's 40 right? :stirthepot:

Sure miss him...

Mark, do you run an expansion tank on the LT4 / LT5 swaps?? If so, what tank has worked for you?

TIA.

For the radiator and the intercooler system I do not run an overflow tank. The radiator has a small amount of air in it for expansion I do run an overflow tank. Not sure the brand. What ever will package. No tank for the intercooler system.

Mark

Mark... I know you run a dry sump in your cars.....As these supercharged motors create a lot of heat - Do you run an external oil cooler, if so, where do you mount it?? TIA

Sorry to be "that guy" with all the questions :)

Camaro LT5
 

It is built into the end tank of the C&R radiator. Oil to water heat exchanger.

Works great.

I also use a oil adaptor with a built in thermostat. Improved Racing makes one as well as Holley.
