Is it done yet?? :hello:

Can we see some pics??

And the cars that do show up are on leaf springs and coils with reinforced control arms and good shocks! I crawled all over the cars at the NorCal Shelby deal and was surprised how "simple" the suspension set ups were. Anyone remember the old man in the green Camaro at Laguna USCA? Dude was damn fast and had zero trick parts....not even the required LS!

Dave, about the pictures....if it will help, let me know where to send the money and I'll kick in some dough to get Jim a "fancy" phone so he can get some pictures. Maybe Payton needs gas money....either way, I'm here to help.
:happy23:

Wasn't this thread about a Camaro, once upon a time?

Don't go there Scott. :shakehead:


lol

He's a special kind of special, in an eating the paste sort of way. LOL

We shouldnt make fun of the kids that ride to school on the short yellow bus. LOL

Because the guys that run - actually use their cars frequently on track (many are pure track only cars) - instead of wasting their time and money trying to just look like they go to the track..... hahahahahahahahahaha --- Sad but true.

Out of necessity, we have had to develop strong visualization skills when visiting this thread...'lo these many years.


:stirthepot:

Good one Skip, but we all know you guys just come to this thread for the sarcasm. I'm sure this car is almost done, and he's just holding out on everybody until the unveil...

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :tv_happy: :tv_happy:

A Gaetano siting. You start hitting track days again Gaetano or still on break?

He's moved on to being Commode of the Yaught Naught Yacht Club.... Two motors are better than one now.

Oh we started to cut you some slack a long time ago there Slappy. :lol:

Yes we should have some update pics after Christmas or the first week of January.

Awesome!

You might be on to something there Scott...

:P

We need a trigger warning next time, Skip! :tv_happy:

How many people on this entire forum actually go out and beat on their cars on the track? 10? I post more pictures of me fixing what I broke than I do what I build! I love this thread, page after page with no car pictures! LOL

Sorry. Bad habit I have Trey. :shakehead:

Posts like mine are likely why only 37 out of 103 psychotherapists recommended this thread to their patients.

Up to 37 already? Don't worry guys, the rest will come around eventually.
On a serious note...I think about the occasional internet surfer who stumbles across this thread via a search of 68' Camaros...makes me smile.

You should post more of your track day outings and work. I love the homebuild, budget, and racing you do with you Camaro.

***spoiler alert***

I hope he changes the ball joints!

OH COME ON!!!!! :flashie: :bang:

I'm just hoping he grows some......

Just because.....
:lol:

No rippin' DG in 2016.

Cuz it's a leap year...or sumthin.



#akindergentler'Merica

I think Dave would think nobody liked him anymore. None of us know how to post on this thread without ripping Dave. This thread would wither on the vine, and die.

Well, I don't like him cuz I'm jealous of all the shops he's gotten the opportunity to spend time with.



:P

I'm sure he'd be happy to share that list of with you....

I see 2016 started here just how 2015 ended. :tv_happy:

Ok, Happy New Year gents..... let's start off BMF 2016 on a better trajectory eh.

So before the "love" gets too deep I've got a serious question. The center frame section is new, are the rear rails? CorteX originally installed the watts and TA, is that all getting reworked? I know you've been in discussions with Ron Sutton.

Ok back to our regular shenanigans.
Happy New Year DG! What shops have you got in mind for this year? :lmao:

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Ron Sutton on line 2.... gotta go. :stirthepot:

All Payton, and I can say is: You are welcome!!!! LOL

DG,

It looks like you are using the JRS axle housing, possibly modified to use floating brakes. I can't tell from these angles if you kept the JRS coilover and LCA mounts or replaced them?

And I presume that crossmember is the torque arm mount? What is the front mount going to be? Rod end, or will you use the 'football' style that JRS provided?

Finally, I spy a little Ron Sutton influence with the adjustable Watts mount in those pics. I really like the one Eric and I installed!

Keep 'em coming!

That is a JRS supplied housing. But it's Payton's. We traded since he is using a different one now and his original piece was more "matched" to what I am now doing.

The coilover and LCA mounts are a mixture of parts. Some of the simple stuff from Jake was just fine to use. Same with Cortex.

The X member is the torque arm mount yes with a removable section to allow for trans removal. The length of the new TA mandated this. The Cortex or and possibly the JRS piece would not have. Not sure what the front mount will end up on yet.

And yes Sutton is involved very much at this point. His watts link adjuster is such a neat piece.

I have just told Jim to use what he approves of in strength and design, or scrap it and build/source if otherwise.

TA design and install should be next. Then attachment of subframe to the "tank" :stirthepot:

I challenge you to show me something on this site that isn't subject to change.

P.S. How's the fire sale going? That sounds like quite a .... change. :lol:

True dat, but he'll probably be at 400K page views in a few hours...so we're obviously not a very discriminating bunch.


:D
