Wheres the beef? Its right here....285's & 345's. I built a jig to measure offset and position the tires where I want them. Tires will be mounted tomorrow, at the local Ferrari dealership of all places...Ill get some more pics once it rolls on new rubber. Next step it to wire the car, slow and painful!

The KumhoXS is a great trackday tire . I run them on my C4 . They are like hockey pucks in cold weather though . Very predictable break away point .

What did you come up with for wheel size/offset?

Man...I can't wait for the shoes on the ground shots.

By the way, you know you can lower and raise the vehicle with the jam nuts on the end of the springs front and rear to get the right stance.

Roll it around a bit and let it settle before you take those pics...LOW AND MEAN baby!

Here is a shot of my old 69 on some of the most recent modification work to it - notice how low it is.....

69MyWay... are you Kaos on CorvetteForum?

I saw this car on the SE section of that messageboard.....

No I am not Kaos, that is my buddy Rob that bought the car. The other car was originally called Killer - as it was seen and known on the magazine articles, advertisements, etc. I had originally built it and he took it over in 2008. He is now adding his own touches to it - and it is truly KAOS with a whole new identity- really making it his own and taking it to that next level. The subtle changes and details they are doing with a fellow named Josh at the Custom Image shop are just amazing.

Chris, the sizes are:
Front - 17x9.5 5"offset
Rear - 17x11 5" offset
I didnt have time to roll it around tonight and Ill play with the stance later. I wanted to get these on before dark tonight and make sure everything fit. The rears ended up perfect! I was kind of conservative in the front but I know it wont rub or have any issues. Let me know what you think. I cant wait to get some chrome on the car, especially the roll bar. It should really bring the car together at that point.

Love it! :cheers:

thanks!

I got some goodies in the mail. My keyless system from AdvancedKeys.com is pretty slick. You carry an active proxcard in your wallet. When you approach the car it will unlock itself and allow the ignition to be armed. Push the botton to start, system will crank the engine for you, another push and its off. Walk away and the car will lock itself. You never have to use a key and its more secure than a modern OEM system. If you notice, the door locks have been shaved in anticipation of this feature.

The other package was the new VHX gauge system from Dakota Digital. A completely modern look with integrated gauges, turn signal & high beam indicators, digital readout, and a central gauge input module with info being relayed to the gauges via eithernet cable to minimize wiring and complexity.

Awesome!

Hey Werks/Killer II

That is looking AWESOME!!!

I really like the deep redish color interior contrast against the black paint.

Those gauges came out great. What are the plans for the center console where the other guages use to be?

Kaos is coming to life. It is back here in Miami as of last week where I am finishing up a few last items here & there with hopes by the end of August it will be officially done except for some new wheels which will be ready in about a month's time.

Keep up the great work. I keep telling myself it will be all worth the wait in the end.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing it on Woodward...what day(s) you going?

John

Likely to draw some attention. ;)

Really like it. :thumbsup:

Very Cool.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys! I've had a few set backs (cracked the new windshield is one) recently but trying not to get discouraged. I praying for an uneventful run to Woodward!

Nothing is there right now, Im planning on a nav/stereo unit there with a few coordinating carbon fiber pieces to match the gauges. I also need to mount my lexus push to start button on the center console. Lots of work left to go! but its coming along.

I'll be cruising Friday night and and Saturday afternoon. I am tentatively scheduled to go to the flint cruise tomorrow but Im not sure if I'll take the vette or not. I have an alignment scheduled for tomorrow morning so hopefully that will go well. If I dont go to Flint or get back early enough, Ill make a few runs down Woodward Thursday night.

Very nice, great looking Vette...those wheels are sweet also.

looks fantastic! Those gauges are really great too. Good job and good luck getting it finished.

Absolutely bad ass! Fantastic job.

Sweet!

Updates?
 

I guess he's too busy driving it to update this page?

Hey guys, Im trying to get back into the car scene. I keep having life get in the way! Anyways, I thoguht I would post a few pics from Woodward while I'm on here. Hopefully I'll get moving along again here soon.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that will get your heart pumping again on a cold midwest winter night!

Looks great!!! What's remaining? Any more pics of the interior?

I just realized you have the chrome trim around the windshield painted black!!! :thumbsup: Hmm...give me something to seriously consider on the original Killer/Kaos as it is all blacked out now and I think this would look great having the trim black around the windshield.

Can you get some close ups pics of the trim painted black around the sides & top of the windshield?

I need to finish up the interior by installing the AC, door panels and top. It needs to be detailed too. Its gotten quite dusty. I have a nice solution for cleaning up the engine bay as well.

Painting the trim black isn't a bad idea! I havent installed mine yet which is why it looks black. I still have the standard stainless. Powder coat perhaps?

I have a few finishing touches that are yet to come as well. I need to finish a side project first and then ill be back on this one.

Love it!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cool. I am going go for it painting or powder coating the windshield trim black. It will give it a quiet different look.

Keep up the great progress!!

I should have the black trim completed by mid March. I need a new windshield (got a nasty long crack) so since the trim needs to come off anyways might as well get this mod done. I really like the look of your car without the chrome around the windshield.

I got it done finally. I had the trim powder coated all shinny black. It looks so much better having black around the windshield. I snapped off a couple pics in the garage and car is dirty from doing a Vintage Air Gen IV swap from Gen II evaporator but I got some pics to share with you. I am flying this evening but will try to post pics tomorrow. I think you will like this also having the black trim around the windshield & I also did the door trim too.

What was once chrome or polished aluminum is now all powder coated shinny black to blend in with the theme of my ride. Thanks Killer II for the idea. Also had the trim along the top door edge and little stayfast caps on the top powder coated black.

Any new updates on Killer II?? I know this thread has been dead for a while, and theres a For Sale thread posted....just wondering how the interior turned out :thumbsup:

Im buttoning up the interior as I get time. Hopefully I'll have some pics up in the next few weeks.

I'll be looking forward to the pics! :computer:

wow mate, apart from the seats (i do understand why you have used them due to the boot arrangement) there is not 1 thing i would change on this car, wheels could not have been more perfect!!!!
