She's a real beaut! Nice work.

Tom.A 02-13-2013 12:09 AM

Awesome and I would not want to change a thing:bow:
Not to get off topic but how high is your garage? I am guessing it is 9 or 10'.
I am thinking about a lift at my new house for car storage but I only have 9'

Thanks

Verry classy, simple yet beautiful, pure in form and function. Reminds one of the mule. :thumbsup:

Yep, it was Charlie and his Mule that made me do it.....Charlie was actually a big help. In addition, Mark Steilow had a huge influence on how Darkside was built.

The entire underside, including wheels wells are just painted semi-black; thinking about shooting the wheel wells with lizardskin.

Nice stuff Jack. :thumbsup:

What are your favorite tracks for that pony?

tubbed69 02-13-2013 02:29 PM

That is one nice clean Camaro,great job.

GregWeld 02-13-2013 03:03 PM

BTW --- Jacks late model Mustang runs circles around Charlie and my "old vintage iron"... his tires are twice as wide -- the car is all aero -- big down force wing - more horsey power... :G-Dub:

It sounds and looks awesome on the track.

Beautiful Car!

randy 02-13-2013 04:59 PM

tell me more about the brake booster and master cylinder please. I love the clean factory look. How well would it work with a c6 z06 front and rear caliper and rotor setup?

Any details would be great. Performance, part #s, work involved, opinion, and would u use it again or go a different route?

aany001 02-13-2013 05:39 PM

Whos gauges are those? This thing is beautifully done !!!!!!!!!!!
Love everything about it and would'nt change a thing!!!:cheers:

RandyM 02-13-2013 06:52 PM

Awesome looking car. Beautifully executed. Everything a pro-touring car should be.

May I ask what the arming switches are used for on the lower left dash panel next to the lights and wiper switch? Thanks.

The brake booster is from Detroit Speed and should work fine with the ZO6 brake setup.

I found a source for the gauges that allows you to design the face of the guages just about anyway you want. In addition, you can select the style of the guage bezel. The guage internals are autometer.

One of the switches is for the fuel pump and the other switch is for the cooling fans.

Favorite Track

What are your favorite tracks for that pony?

Has to be Sonoma (Sears Point). Considered a "technical" track, but I like the variety of turns and elevation changes; plus the location in the wine country is perfect. Laguna Seca is a close second, but my car can not make the very restrictive sound limitations. Thunderhill is the most user friendly and best for new drivers; minimal concrete barriers and plenty of runoff area. Autoclub speedway incorporates a road course that includes about 2/3 of the high speed oval. Running the high speed oval is a lot of fun. Willow Springs, called the fastest tract in the West is challenging and you can really mess up your car if you get off track; plus the wind and sand blows a lot.

Hey Jack,

Wanted to ask if you had to clearance the trans tunnel for the 6 speed?

Mark

Yes, the entire top of the tunnel was raised from the firewall to just behind the shifter

bentfab 02-14-2013 11:41 AM

That's what I thought. Thanks

I stood and stared at your car for a while at the show. Just my style simple, effective and bad A$$!

one more thing. Is the radiator core support stock and cleaned up or aftermarket?

Mark

Sales@Dutchboys 02-14-2013 01:33 PM

Very nice car! great work. Do you remember what valve covers/coil mounts you used? I like those, would look great on a project I have in mind.
