Ron just so you know I picked up the old 9 inch from your car yesterday. You have some more money to spend on your car. Good luck with the build. Thanks!

Aarik

Thx Aarik! I have a couple more things you could use if you're interested! How about a build thread on your sweet 68? :thumbsup:

The "old" 9"?! How could anything be old yet? lol. Get 'er done Ron. Plan schman - just do it - that intake is pure sex magic!
Engine looks great - more pics please....

Can't wait to see it done. Keep us posted - cheers! :cheers:
Gregg

Seems like I have two of many things. You know what's like, right Gregg? BTW, you got some 'splainin to do around here:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:woot: Intake and hood here we come!!!!














(sorry Ron, its more fun spending someone else's money for a change :lol: )

Thats what I'm talkin' about!!

damm ron that thing is getting out hand, stop it!:thumbsup:

Who better to get this car even more attention than SEMA's latest rock star goin Gonzo on it.

:lol:

I guess I shouldn't say old when it has 0 miles on it huh? Let me know what else you have. I will get a thread posted once football season is over with and make some progress on the car.

You guys spend my $$$ better than my GF....:rolleyes:

Starting next week things start going BACK on the car for good. Right Cris?

So true Skip, but this will not be a rock star build. Just some JCG Pro touches that exceed my capability/vision...:thumbsup:

That's right Aarik, brand new. I'll send you a PM. Look forward to your build thread buddy....:lateral:

you all keep filling up gonzos shop with your stuff and im never going to be able to get my car painted:mad:. maybe with la nina he can just put yours outside for a while. :yes:

looks good though and i cant wait to see it done. and i need to go back through and find your motor specs so i can stop stressing over my build.

Ron- Throw away your project plan.. I work better without one.. Look what happen with Blu Balz! :D


Tim- I will boot Ron out when you decide for the car to come over to paint!

Hey Tim...I was gonna say no La nina, but Cris might have other plans! :unibrow: I liked your idea for #2 over on 'tech. Send me a PM and I'll give you some of the motor specs.

I'm feelin' the love Cris. Keep it up and I'll start hanging out at your shop everyday...:D

Oh brother Ron - you have NO idea lol. No clue how I ended up with THREE of some things ha! Keep an eye on the LG & PT For Sale sections. Even going to let someone else finish the convertible :eek:

Gregg

Ron, your build is coming along beautifully. I'm very excited for you and the progress you're making. Love the color choice. A lot of best-of-breed parts going into it along with great design and craftsmanship. Can't wait to see you driving and thrashing on it soon. I hope also to catch up with you soon at an upcoming SoCal event. :thumbsup: :cheers:

Outstanding build!! Everything about it. Much like yourself I'm looking forward to see this finished. You are in good hands with Cris!!

I don't know Brent! We keep taking it apart.. :lol:

Got the engine mounts & transmission support modified today.. Build headers on Monday... We got all the underside plumbing done this week..

Hey Chris! Thx for the props Bro. I'll be down at Del Mar on Friday. See you there? :thumbsup:

Thx Brent. Professor Cris is on it...:yes:

Progress...is sometimes hard to watch! :faint: :D

Thx for all the hard work and brainpower Cris :cheers:

Uh Cris....Your suppose to bolt it together...not unbolt it! :D Looks like the tranny tunnel is cut out of it now...What are you doing??

It's about time we got an update!! J/k, lookin' good guy's :thumbsup:

Gotta love negative progress to get a little positive :lol: ....

Brent- Their were a few things that Ron & I wanted to improve before final set-up.. We are changing the sub-frame bushings to get the car lower about 1/2.. Wanted to run the tranny angle @ 2.5 degrees.. easier to do with sub out.. Had a small issue with motor mounts.. Wanted to mock up headers.. All these things justified me pulling the sub out.. Plus we work alot faster.. Tranny tunnel is being modified for new angle on tranny..

Awesome. Glad to hear you'll be there on Friday. I'll be there also and look forward to catchin' up with you.

Ron,What LS motor are you running?

I was telling someone yesterday - it seems like we were farther ahead last week :D

See you there Chris!

It's one of those new-fangeld LS7 contraptions...:captain:

lol! :thumbsup:

Ain't that right there the truth! Been there - done that. Keep your eye on the prize Ron - it's all good. I'm just glad someone else decided to do it ass-backwards. I mean re-engineering the car before paint - where's the challenge in that?! At least Chris was able to lend you some PJ's for your car - I'm looking for the touch-up paint and I've never seen second gear yet lol!

Happy Turkey Day and see you Friday at Del Mar bud!

Gregg

Happy Thanksgiving G! Thank you for blazing the trail for 'Team Backwards'....:lol: Seriously, I appreciate all the phone time, measurements, time savers and everything else you do! See you tomorrow...:thumbsup:

looking for an update from Doc Gonzo

Marty- We tore it apart & sold it for parts! Got a LS7 for sale!:unibrow:

We got the motor set up on the sub-frame with transmission & fabricated with tack welding the modified transmission tunnel.. The headers & pedal assembly are next.. Going with Wilwood pedals & shorty M/C..

That's awesome !!!

Hello Ron, it was nice meeting you at Chris his shop.
Your car is awesome!!

Bram

Got the Wilwood M/C with pedals done today.. Still got a little fine tuning to do but were close to finishing it out.. Need to modify the M/C to use Bajo fittings..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1829.jpg

Hey Bram! So good to meet you and glad you made it by the shop. I hope you made it home ok....:) My car's a heep compared to some of the stuff going on there...:thumbsup:

Looks good Cris! :thumbsup: Thx for posting, can't wait to see it in person!

Man Ron, you took her to a new level dropping it of to Gonzo.:thumbsup: Financially and ultimately. :unibrow:

You are so right Toddski. It's a sickness I tellya...:cool: Gotta stop sooner or later (sooner), but I'm shooting for good pedal control.

Brakes is something I'm still working on after all this time and my biggest weakness. Let me know how it works out.

Will do Bro. Prob gonna look to you to help me sort it out...:cheers:

Ron, what sizes did you spec for the master cylinders? I've got 7/8" front and rear; pedal travel is negligible. You sorta just stomp on it to stop. It is great for speed stop style runs and big tracks, because you can't just lock up the brakes accidentally. However, next time I want to see what a 3/4" front 7/8" rear feels like.

Matt

Same as you Matt, 7/8" fr and rr. I followed Cris' reccomendation on this - and I'm pretty sure this is the correct starting point - but this triple stuff is new to me...
