wow :bow: we need some more info

Are you familiar with rod ends? They can pivot freely inside the race, instead of the pivoting around a trunnion they are using the ball as the pivot. Works fine as long as you stay within the limited amount of misalignment for the given rod end.

if this is the car and those are the final wheel choice then i cant give it the BEST in the universe.. maybe this Milkyway Galaxy.. but not universe.


NOW IF IT RAN THE ORIGINAL WHEELS IN THE FIRST POST!

then i am currently..

Do not give that man any more ideas. Knowing him a belly pan would lead to a complete rebuild and a new engine. So next year, maybe? :unibrow:

I think I'm going to have to stop visiting this site now that I've got something drivable, and I feel really lucky to have something 99 percent done, because if I didn't I would just find too many inspiring ideas (to steal), and would never finish anything.

Hell, this makes me want to go out and find another project :willy:

Matt

I agree 110%!!!!:unibrow:


I love the flat bottom and the front air opening. Is there any video of this on track?

They are running two sets of wheels (Kinesis and a Forgeline) depending on the day of the week, LOL.


So perhaps it's the best in the Milkyway on Mondays and transforms to the best of the Universe on Tuesday, LOL. :cheers:

"flame suit on"

If that is the same car, it's a shame they did all that fabrication and then just "stuck" that chin spoiler on there like that. Looks like it extends to far into the wheel well and doesn't flow well to the rocker area. The rocker flows down and under the car, that spoiler looks like a shovel, down and out.

I remember reading the rules of the board, and I did not see anywhere in there that said, I must post pics of my work, before making "negative" comments on someone elses car.

Simmer down, It's just my opinion. Jeez, I guess no one around here is ever allowed to make a comment that doesn't follow the status quo. And I said nothing about the build quality of the rest of the build, so please do not put words in my mouth. I commented on one single thing.

And to your other point, what has what I built or NOT built have to do with just giving an opinion on something someone else posts on the internet? And I suppose he posted his car to get some opinions, and quite possibly knowing that not everything he did is what everyone else would like. We are all supposed to be grown up, and taking some nobody's critque should be easy.

Without hijacking this thread, it really comes down to picking out the negative side of anything. Sure there are some things we all dislike but the amount of work and vision is out of this world to pull something like this off. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but consider what you like about the car not what you don't. JMO

Friggen Awesome

Amazing build.:thumbsup:

I like the way it was thought out. Reminds me of an exotic, very purpose build. Please tell us this thing is going to be put through its paces.

I hope to see it at a track someday.

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Lots of time went into that car,I would like to see it at Columbus this year,There is a lot of work to look at.:thumbsup:

Maybe I missed it.............Who's the builder or the shop building the car? Gotta give the credit where it's due. A whole lotta work went into that, :thumbsup:

It was built in Canada.

I think you're correct there Tyler,I've posted pics of the first one before from Laguna.

Very cool car....found their garage on the Hub. Lots of pix

http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/belou/vehicles/43081

WOW! Whole different level there!

Front end looks strange...

Amazing craftsmanship and fabrication but I'm not a fan of the front and rear styling.

That thing is CRAZY!!! Some of the styling is a little "too much" for me, but it's definitely a great build.:cheers:
Talk about a race car in a street car's clothes?!?!:wow:

KILLER STUFF!!! Hood reminds me of the mid-year vette GS race car hood or at least styled after that

Like I said earlier - wow - awesome work.

But... (zipping the old flame suit on)... I don't think that it is anywhere close to being the Baddest 68 Camaro in the Universe. Or even being a contender for that title. Especially with nothing but build pictures to back it up. The fabrication work is excellent and some of the styling is killer but (performance aside) the whole package just is not there.

Three examples from our own community

• Tyler's 50/50 - the new Ironworks Chassis is awesome and while his aero design may not be for everyone, it is consistent and ties in throughout the car... it may not be finished yet but the potential is there
• Carl's RS - a 'pure' looking car that just plain works - one of the original '68 Camaro PT cars that still sets the standard today
• Bad Penny - if you want to be the man, you have to beat the man

I don't want to disrespect this project at all (I don't think that the building is calling it the baddest in the universe, just Al) - nor do I want to ignore a lot of other really really cool '68's (like Larry's) but hey... I thought it needed to be said.

That notwithstanding - it has the potential to prove me wrong.

I have to agree there, to me it's all about performance. Everything else is second place. Hard for me to consider 50/50 on that list in it's current form.

Just looked at the finished photos......I'll give it the most fabricated 68 in the world but I'd take Bad Penny over that car everyday that ends in day.

awwww man.. pon final view of the car in full finish in that hub garage account ill have to say...

http://memegenerator.net/Instances/5...e-i-reckon.jpg

and what the hell with that damn wing?!?

I will say this tho.. i kinda like the chopped top.. i wonder how much did they take off.. it almost seems raked.

I like the engineering that went into this, but(flame suit on) the styling isn't to my liking.

This was on their HUB garage page.

ok

a million dollars spent by the customer.:brix: ....hope they love it and it does whatever they wanted it to do !!
looked at the car on hubgarage..bolide design

Tom

tis is a special order for a exigent custumer , this guy want a hybrid version of a muscle car and a exotic car so whe design
a complete chassis monocoque elarge the body of 5 inches
back off the engine of 14 inches and make a tow place car to put the dry sump and the full cell back off the seats for a 50/50 pounds transfert .

and many many more stuff like that.

same here !!:wow:

Probably French........:unibrow:

lolllllll......
That's some funny stuff!!!!

Hey James ---

Let us know when you think Ty's car will EVER be finished... til then - it really can't be in the lineup for a medal... because you just said - until you saw performance -- a car shouldn't be eligible for big kudos like this.

Oh wait -- it could be in the running for "the longest ever time from start to finish"? :rofl: :rofl: That car was as Wayne Dues like 5 years ago when I bought my subframe from him... Saw it at Rogers a couple of months ago - looked pretty much the same... raw steel.

The race track in the background is the ICAR ciruit, about 30mins north of Montreal. The track is built on the now much smaller, but still functioning for cargo, Mirabel Airport.

I will find out more about this car.

This sounds like the car I was told about by a friend of LEADFOOT who used to post here but went Pro Street with his car.

cheezer

OK, I give....perhaps the universe is a little ambitious, maybe the Baddest 68 on the block, LOL:rofl:

You guys trip me out. I post that title because I knew you guys would get on the hook.

Who gives a sh#$ what atmosphere this car rules, LOL.

If are wife read this stuff, are credibility would go down the drain fast.

All in good sheer, Al.

PS, I agree that the styling might not be for me but there's some cool fab :cheers:

You're right Greg - my point in including it at all was (a) the new chassis is really, really cool and (IMHO) better engineered than the one that is in this post (an offset cell - really?) and (b) there are some pretty basic similarities in the front end styling and while the car in this post does not carry that theme through the car, Tyler's design did (ie the rockers and the front air damn were on the same plane) and (c) it was kind of a free plug since it's for sale (:D ). But you're right, at this point it capabilities are all supposition and until it is done it's not in the running.

So... let's get Penny and MotiV8R and Carl together and settle this thing right now! The 2010 Baddest 1968 Camaro in the Universe Street Car Invitational (?) :cheers:

IN! I'm always up for a track day. Maybe tomorrow.....:unibrow:

"i built the chassis alone cut the car in half elarge of 5 inches to get a 64 inches of track whit 14 inches of tire at the back 335/35zr18 and 63 inches of track at front whit 12 inches of tire 285/35zr18"

Cut a car in half and widened it 5 inches !!! That's just stupid !!

:P
