I believe DOT 5 won't but I have never tried it to be sure.

ABC has not started production on the tubs for a 70.
Thanks for the pics of how you did this. It helps me trying to see what Im up against.

HEEP

I have a 68 chevelle wondering if 295/30/19 would fit the rear without mini tubs I'm going 18x8 front and 19x10 rear, please give me some input greatly appreciated

If you are making a mess using your motiv power bleeder you may be using it incorrectly. I believe the instructions say to fill the bleeder pump itself with fluid, but this is totally unnecessary. I just screw mine onto the reservoir and pump it up and go. I don't see how you could possibly make a mess doing this except when you are pouring new fluid into the reservoir and if you can't handle that you may need a funnel :)

Its funny but with years of hot rodding under my belt, I still think the power bleeder has been the single most useful tool ever made. I do all my work by myself and my wife is good for about 1.3 minutes of help, and I always seem to be bleeding my clutch or brake.

Those LSA/LS9 motors are the bomb too bad they're so expensive. I guess the LSA is pretty reasonable, but hard to buy "the less powerful" engine.

We sent the shock seats down to the Stitch By Stitch down south for him to reshape and foam the seats to our ideas. Here is where we are at.

I kinda like the direction so far.

We are working on doing a countersunk head rest idea. Kinda like the stock Camaro seats just not as tall.

I'm sure on what will fit stock. this car had 275/40/17's all the way around. Our Chassis will clear a 305/35-18 and a 345/30/19 or a 20 depending on ride height.

Further seat progress.

I can see the ideas coming together.

Oh yeah.... that looks good!


:thumbsup:

More progress.

Getting the start of the brake and clutch hardlines.

Seats are getting foam shaping. Notice the 3rd point seat belt loop.

The beginnings of the Billet dash insert. Still working on alot more detail.

We have been slammed in the Solidworks department with chassis sales and building some custom one off frames. So I have not been able to get this one finalized with all the details.

Enjoy

Amazing work, love the "pod" style of the gauges, I was going for similar style but didn't have a couple-hundred-pound chunk of aluminum and a CNC to whittle it down with and make all smooth like yours is modeled. Should turn out terrific, keep up the good work!

Any pics of the under dash - -mainly interested in the pedal assembly. Did you use Tilton pedals or modify the stock to work with the Tilton MC's.

Awesome work as usual.

We used a Tilton assembly, Here are some pics I have that are not the best quality, but you will get the idea.

Really pretty simple once you get it positioned.

Cool - that's what I thought...thanks for the pics

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Is the dash insert going to be a one off or do you have any plans of making them available?

We plan to make then available for purchase. Price will be known at a later date.

what he said....

Nice project.

Is there a reason you couldn't make the master cylinders fit under the dash instead for a clean firewall look?

I want to do something similar but put them under the dash.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yeah we could not put them under the dash because that is not what the customer wanted. Plus I don't like not being able to easily get to the masters. And if they start leaking they make a big mess.

I have had quite a bit of interest in the Billet dash piece we are doing for this project. Here are some updated pics of the drawing I sent out for a rough cost estimate. The Block of aluminum is almost 200 lbs and the end result is 20-30lbs. So there is a ton of machine work. I have 3 units already sold and I'm trying to how many others might be interested to help get the price down for all parties involved.

Rodger could you email me the G-Code file of this part so I could machine my very own dash.That would save me the time of figuring everything out myself.

G-code? How about I just send you a completely machined dash and you pay me what you think it's worth. No sense you having to do any of your own engineering.

Sound's good.Could you send it freight prepaid.I have a friend who live's out there just pay you the $150.00 he owes me.

I know it coats way more then $150.00, but if that is all you think it's worth I will send it to with free freight just because your the man. That's why.

HAHA :D :D :D :D :D :D

Now that's some LARGE man love right there......

Or just a really bad joke, and an inside joke at that. These gauge clusters will be very expensive and only done in a limited run of 10.

Rodger

Rodger,It's kinda cool when you talk in code.!!!!!!!!!.......--------????????{{{{{}}}}}}}:rofl:

It's probably already been copied and ready for installation in another shop. :rofl:

You are prob. right.I think the pizza deliverly guy is hiding (that other shop's) camera's in his hat when he drop's off lunch.:rofl:

Oh I dunno, that Rogers pretty hi tech, his place is very secure, I've been locked out a number of times.......lol

That dash is a pretty fancy creation for a guy who races cars (on dirt) where normal people plant potatoes.

Is that your way of asking if I would sell you one to go in a Mustang?

/\/\/\/\ :lol: :rofl:

Won't be able to afford your dash now that I have been shamed into putting a Ford motor in the Mustang.

Here are some more updated pics of the very close final product.

Rodger if i was building a chevelle I would be all over this dash. I looked at the budget one that Metron performance is doing and this one is so much nicer and complete looking.

If you build one for the 2nd gen Camaro I would be all over it !!!!

I'm looking at doing more of these if the market is there. And I have super solid 70 camaro that if I don't sell it we may do some product development on it. We shall see.

I'm going to need one in the next 4 weeks. So you kinda gotta hurry
