If you are thinking of selling the Wayne Due, let me know. It would be an upgrade to my stock one with DSE coil over conversion and I am close enough to come and pick it up.

Looks awesome Scott. Keep us posted please!:thumbsup:

Sub-Frame Paint
 

Scott

What was the product that Kurt used to spray your subframe?

Looks good Scott! Why paint over powedercoating? Just curious.

DBC basecoat with 2060 Flex "n" flat clear:thumbsup:

Jay, our local powder coater does not have the clear finish we usually use on chassis parts. Its more of an eggshell finish, it has a nice sheen to it.:D

Looks great Scott---you stuff always has though. Really looking forward to hearing the feedback once you get it going. Kurt sure does amazing work--you are fortunate to be so close to someone as gifted as his shop is. Please keep the photos coming--

Doug

Scott- Don't know what I should be drooling over the 69 or your garage! LOL
Can't wait to see the upgrades on the 69.. Have parts ready to ship to you on Monday.. :thumbsup:

????
 

Wow! thats a nice piece. I dont understand the need for change. Did it fall short somewhere?

Scott...................I'll come up and help you put the car back together "And" get that garage whipped into real garage shape...........LOL:thumbsup: Great Job!!

Ken

Ya thanks Jay. I sure wouldn't mind hanging out in your garage sometime, love all the work you have done on your car so far.:thumbsup:

Some random pics of it going together...


I think I need a bigger shop. lol

Looks great Scott!! :thumbsup: As always - nice paint work Kurt!

Might need to re-run you in f-body garage..

Hey Scott you need a new seal on the bottom of your garage door. Give Travis a call. LOL...:D

Sweet. :cheers:



I know. lol That happened this winter, had some refreeze at the threshold and part of the seal was froze to the ground when I opened the door.

Man Scott that looks soo NICE wish I was at that point. :bow:

Scott, lets get a new door in and I'll bring Kurt, some :cheers: and we'll break in the car, garage,door, and that carbon fiber pole you mentioned?:lol:

Travis

That all looks awesome Scott. The parts -including the paint, the Camaro (of course), the garage, and the camera shots. Look forward to seeing more when you get done.

Nice work guys!
Scott, what mods will need done to connect the new DSE frame to the SFC's? Is that the same color as the WD frame?

The frame looks awesome. Your making some nice progress.

I think the pictures you take look unreal. :thumbsup:

Scott --

Are you going to go crazy when / if the car drives exactly the same?

I wouldn't be able to sleep -- wondering if I was doing all of this and I wouldn't be able to tell...
:woot:

Thanks guys. It's coming along. :cheers:



I'm going to bolt it to the DSE subframe connectors. Before I started assembling the subframe, I installed it bare in the car to see how everything, including the SFC's were going to work. It's a lighter shade of grey than before. Light grey or dark silver.



Thanks Ryan. The wide angle lens makes for interesting shots I think.



I have no doubt that it's going to be a serious improvement. :cheers:

WOW!!!
Looks great Scott. Nice shop as well. Neat and clean.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Made good progress over the weekend. Got the motor and trans swapped over to the DSE subframe and got the PS and hydroboost lines dialed in. The left header fit perfect, the right header needed to be massaged. The weld where the #8 primary attached to the collector stuck out about .250" too far, so I used a press to persuade that area.

I decided to just leave the motor and trans in the subframe and lift it back into the car. Those snowmobile dollies work awesome for rolling it back under the car. I had a neighbor help me guide it into place and square it up.

The steering shaft is in, the driveshaft is in, all electrical connections are done... all I have left is to make the subframe/SFC plates, make a bracket for the lower mount for the dry sump, and flare and connect the brake line from the MC to the frame... add some fluids, bleed the brakes, and off to get an alignment.

congrats Scott. :thumbsup:

Jody

Thanks Jody. It was a thrash, but it was fun.

Seriously! That's a bunch of work you got done right there! WOW!

Hey -- If I'd have done this on a floor like that... it would have been gouged... corroded... discolored...

I'm impressed!

Not sure what to applaud you on, the car or the photography. :rofl:

Thanks Greg! It was a pretty big job, but I got as far as I had hope by the end of the weekend. :cheers:




Lol, thanks Todd. The wide angle lens make everything look cool. :D I just push the button. :lol:

You are definitely moving right along
 

Took me a couple of hours just to measure my rear and you are swapping in a subframe.

Looks good

LOL - You are one crazy Mo-Fo

Kudo's to you for doing a subframe swap in such a short period of time.

Okay so how many hours total in the swap ???

Snowmobile Dollies? There's an advantage to living in Minnesota right there...:yes:

That's what I was thinking as well Marty. That was quick!!
Good job Scott.:thumbsup:

Looks killer Scott!! No doubt you worked your butt off this past weekend. I agree - your photography ain't bad either! :rofl: (And yes - I'm still jealous of your garage!)

Im jealous of Scott's garage, car, subframe, motor, camera, photograhy skills and like Greg said cleanliness while working :lol:

Looks Killer Scott, nice job :thumbsup:

I only see one thing out of place. I'd adjust that garage door chain. :unibrow:

Oil Drain Plug
 

Scott,

I'm curious, where the recessed area is in the subframe for the front oil drain plug, do you have enough room to remove/install?

Thanks,
Bill
