So mount from inside now?

Nice.

I think we have the next ring brothers here!

Wow! So many little details.

Is the line-x going to counter productive of the weight reduction program? BTW, love what your kids are doing, going to make good fabricators in the future.:thumbsup:

Awesome is the only word that describes it Al. I love seeing the boys working on it---it's my own wish for my son---hoping he will one day get involved with me on the cars. Amazing work bro!

Thanks Wayne, they wish they had more time before SEMA to do more but time is working against them.

Thanks Mike for the props. They were going to go with Raptor but we saw a truck where the whole body was shot with Linex and the consistency was incredible. Your right on the weight gain but we're thinking no more than a couple of pounds.


Thanks D, it is kinda cool that they will be keeping our hobby going forward in the future.


Here is a quick update. I have got to give all the credit to Justin on this one as this has been his pet project.

Over the past several days he's been working on a close out panel for the trunk to separate it from the interior since we lost the rear seats. This stuff has taken time. lots of it. It is one of those things that though it may look pretty simple, not many people realize how much time and effort is put into it. Here are some pics.

The template was the first step. Hours of fitting, checking, trimming, trashing, cutting, checking, trimming, you get the idea... the driver and passenger sides were not identical as well so had to do a separate template for each side.

Hand cut the panels from the template

Made two bends to comply with the frame it will sit against in the trunk.

Next came carving out the bezel. Your not going to believe this but he did a lot of the work with a $6.99 set of files from Harbor Freight.

We had a sheet of carbon made by APR performance. These guys specialize in wings and aero. They will be making one for G5.R. This has got to be the largest piece of flat carbon in the "UNIVERSE". That was for you GW, LOL

Tracing the template.

After some online research, he found the best way to cut this carbon was with a jig saw and a carbide blade.

here a mock up. Next in line will be drilling the counter sunken holes and bolting.

On a different note, the steering wheels is being sent to get completely redone at DCT. These guys do amazing work, mostly for exotics, lambos, Ferrari, etc.

GW this is a wheel they did for a R8. I think it would look killer on your car.

Al,Congrat's for rising kid's that are not afraid to work hard.The Camaro is turning out Amazing.:gitrdun:

Great job guys, Al they are really taking it to the next level for sure!!

As for next Ring boys, why can't they do this on the side?? Most of us have to have our day job? Doesn't mean they can't build SMOY cars at night?!

Al, i may have missed this from earlier, where's it going to be featured at SEMA?

thnx,Mike

Good point Rick, wouldn't that be a hoot, building a SMOY contender from the garage.

Mike, your right, I must have missed it, It will be at the Race Ramp booth....... God willing.

Love the steering wheel Al!!


Tell me something I may have missed. Is this project being built in a school shop?? I thought it was your son building the car -- so is he a shop teacher??
