Yeah Cool mods! I just read your quarter panel stretch in camaro performers. And I must have liked what I saw because I am still wanting to try this... We will see how it looks when I get my wheels, then I will decide.:lateral:

Cris@JCG 12-30-2009 09:44 AM

Cris@JCG 01-02-2010 08:14 AM

We will be finalizing the design today on the exhaust hanger today to machine on Monday.. We will be machining a pin out of 17-4 stainless that the grommet will go between hangers just like a shock mount on a coilover :D

man, that stuff in jewelry- very nice:thumbsup:

ironworks 01-06-2010 04:37 PM

It looks awesome, But what exactly are you hanging that exhaust from that they have to be so long, and how heavy is your exhaust that it has to be that strong. Just curious. Cool lookin parts, just seems like WAY OVERKILL.

Cris@JCG 01-06-2010 05:52 PM

Thanks Rodger! The hangers ended up being so long cause we are mounting to the side of the pipe instead of the top. Trying something different! This is overkill, I do agree with that statement but we like to make billet parts :unibrow: On the top we machined a 1/4 steel plate with mounting holes that we will weld to body & box.. We just don't want the exhaust moving since everthing is tight & dont want a rattling exhaust.

First exhaust we do here @ the shop that does not come pre-fab..

Cris your the man wow !! Are you going to sell these??

GregWeld 01-08-2010 05:11 PM

Wow -- I had to make those pics my new "pin ups"!:rofl:

96z28ss 01-08-2010 05:36 PM

Doesn't the exhaust grow when it gets hot?
Those look to be pretty buff and solid. When you look under a car there is the shaft and rubber gromet and the shaft is about like over 1/2 inch longer so that it can slide and move.

Cris@JCG 01-08-2010 06:09 PM

Doesn't the exhaust grow when it gets hot? yes

We have used this set up for sometime now on the pre-fab exhaust system we have done here @ the shop & had no problems with them.. The shaft with the nipple has never been a favorite of mine but will have them in both configurations..

Very nice.
Looks good.:thumbsup:

GregWeld 01-16-2010 04:00 PM

My buddy Pierre (He's Italian and his mother names him PIERRE - so I nicknamed him Frenchie) put an AutoRad in his 56 Chevy when we converted his big block from carb to 8 stack EFI -- that radiator and core support (polished) is a WORK OF ART.

Beautiful stuff!

Nice work Gonzo!

Lenie 01-16-2010 06:56 PM

Amazing stuff Gonzo.

Love all the projects you have going...especially the "fat bottom" camaro's". Any change your willing to sell a set of these pedals....I have the Wilwood set...reverse mount and I'm looking to replace the pedals.

Cris@JCG 01-17-2010 08:33 PM

Thank you for the compliments! PM'ed you on the pedals
