Cool car. Mark the bar you set is pretty high for 1st gen camaro's. It is going to be cool to see if this car can win that gunfight. Going to be a fun journey. Like the color.:thumbsup:

I think it was Sonar Chief who first commented on noticing it but it sure would appear that you have removed the trunk divider/rear package tray and are moving forward, leaving it out by this point.

I suppose it is rather insignificant but will there be any divider modular or otherwise?

Part of the "race diet" or is there more engineering to the decision?

What, no magnetic shocks? :D :cheers:

Seriously Mark the car looks great! What are you doing for the rear trans mount? I'll be at Optima rooting for you...

very clean.

State of the Art 1st Gen build. Congratulations to all those involved. :cheers:

its there, go back and look at the last pic.

Hmmm, no wing on the back of this monster?

Yeah Mark, I guess OUSCI is a big deal (if yer into that kinda thing...lol), but the lat-g feature of the month club has been a no-fly zone for too long and needs this one ... badd! :unibrow:

I noticed that as well when the car was at Joe and Paul's shop. They said that there is added structure to the seat mount area for the trans mount. That is why the trans mount doesn't need to be mounted to the frame rails. I hope that is correct. Maybe Mark can give more details.

Awesome progress in a short time. I can't wait to see the performance out of this one.

Fourth gen fbodies have a similar trans mount. It's not an entire member like on a 1st or 2nd gen.


Looking great Mark!

Damn, and I thought I was going to be one of the few on the planet without one...

Always a good idea to carry some 'style point chips' when your in Vegas. :unibrow:

The stripe really adds alot to the overall look.

Hidden Wiper system
 

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers: I thought I recognized the hidden wiper system .... I was thinking of using the same setup, very nice :hail:

Just off the chain! Drool...:willy:

The hidden wiper system can be found in camarocentral.com

Mark can chime in and give more info on that

Here is the manufacturers website ... looks like a nice setup.

NO .... the date Dec 25,1983 was the date that I earned my Dolphins and the CO pinned them on my chest, and I had the old style dolphins tattooed on my forearm .... 28years later!

Wikipedia actually has a nice write up from the beginning a NUB to being qualified submarines, good read!

Thanks for asking.

I have been going through your entire build spread since I got into work at 7 am funny I work and stop and look at your build, just awsome build cant wait to see the finished product makes me wonder about mine great job overall

WOW thats all I can say .

Mark - Finished yet? :D

Wondering if we'll see much more. There's an unveil next week at Formula 43 if I'm not mistaken. F43 has a new wheel debuting as well. Can't wait to check that out too.

I think Mark will be pulling a couple all nighters. Almost ready to start up.

31 days and counting :D :_paranoid

I may have missed it, Mark, but what rear gear are you running with this one? I believe you had 3.25 with Red Devil.

Not when you have 800+ ft lbs at dang near off idle. That's called torque management.

In laymans' terms Dave, would you say that is so that Mayhem and Red Devil don't just fry the tires at will like the car is on a frozen lake? Wait... did that Minnesota analogy get lost on some?:P

It runs !!!!!!

Cool, but where's the video? I had to ask before someone else did. :thumbsup:

AWESOME!!!!!!!
:thumbsup:

I'm going through update withdrawal here. Must have pics!

Sorry guys for no updates, we have pulled a bunch of all nighters to get the car running. It sounds great. I love LS engines. Brian Thomson and Dave Mikels gave me a engine and calibration that when I hit the key it rolled over about 1/2 a revolution and fired up. Ryan Kuhlenbeck's wiring was flawless so we power it up and did some trouble shooting and found a ground wire I missed then it fired up.

Matt and the guys from Sled Alley have done some 24 hour days to get it done. The car looks killer.

My buddy Tom Gardner help me all weekend finish up the wring so that is all done.

The car will be running and driving this Friday at the Formula 43 Wheel open house in Livonia, MI.

We are going to break it in this weekend and take it to Gingerman for a shake down Oct 13 - 14.

I will post some pictures of the Formula 43 open house.

This project has been a huge team effort. I hope is performs well at the track for the test.

Mark

Stellar work as always!

Congrat's Mark:thumbsup: :thumbsup: .I hope all your hard work pay's off in Vegas.
