It was cool to finally see your car in person this weekend...sorry it didn't go so well.

Hello Mr. Hobaugh,

I've found a photo of this car on a quick search on the net, followed the link to the "HeelToeDriving" article and from there to this great thread here. I'm completely blown away by this build. An absolutely amazing work!

The car is basically perfect except for two things. The second set of wheels you've chosen are absolutely fugly. Infact they actually aren't but they simply don't suite the car as much as the satin black ones. Then there is the new hood with the vent. I know there are simple functional reasons for it but the old, slightly raised one suited the car much better. But that's just my personal opinion and taste. Infact you could have painted it pink and it would still be awesome.

Just as a sidenote. I've also found the video about your families '65 Sting Ray and want to mention that this one is a stunning car, too.

Good luck to you and your whole family. Keep up this great spirit!

Digging up an old post here, but why steering box? Obviously the fabrication for putting a rack in didn't scare you guys. Assuming bump steer, ratio, etc. are the same, shouldn't the steering feel be exactly the same? Could the desirable amount of bump steer not be achieved with a rack in your situation? I'm stuck between the the two for my car right now.

I am not a steering rack expert by any means, so I am not the one to give you the best answer. For packaging, ease of changing ratios relatively cheaply, and for the proven and simple old way of doing things, this worked best for me. I like the feel of a good old box and good pump and with our custom steering arms it seems to work good.

Two very nice builds.

amazing build!

With my photo bucket links gone, I will need to upload a bunch of old photos. Here is the latest.

I will running my Camaro at Fontana and Road America Optima events the OUSCI in Las Vegas in November.

This thing was, & still is.... bad arse.

Since all the photos are gone due to Photobucket, I will load a few photos to summarize the build of my Camaro for those that have not seen them.

This is how the build started.

Disassembly begins...
