Nice work on the interior design, Ben.
|
|
I like the front lower valence, is that something you guys custom made?
|
Looking good Ben.
|
Thanks guys! That valance is by Anvil, and we picked up a sheet of that mesh separately and used it throughout the car.

Center console work, for convenience reasons we split the console in two pieces.

Love the custom work, not too flashy, just right.

Continuing our theme through the interior we next addressed the rear package shelf. Mock ups for speaket layout were created digitally, test fit and then cut from wood and wrapped or laser cut from sheet metal and powdercoated. We chose Focal speakers for a great sound and they've got a really cool woven texture.

Rather than a replacement factory style carpet we chose to have a smoother look and opted for a custom carpet install. Note how jute padding was used to flatten the floorboards by filling in the bumps and valleys for a super clean look. More coming soon...

On with the engine bay. Our custom build 720 hp LS3 based Texas Speed engine came to us in a raw finish so a bit of flat black engine paint got it looking the way we wanted. Carrying the outside theme to the engine included a custom set of coilcovers, while all the accessories along with some interior parts were painted to match the exterior stripe. More coming soon...

Did you guys make the door speaker pods? Id love to see a pic of the holder for the doors as well as how you cut the door to make them fit.

Wow does that look fantastic

We discussed different options for the door speakers but found that we were very limited according to inner component clearances. We finally decided to just keep it simple yet effective and used an inner panel with a layout that worked and created the outer more visual parts to work around that layout. Here you can see that simple format. Also in the pic is the crossover electronics. I'll post the final door panel pics with pics of the completed interior soon.

Thanks Marty!
Some folks have asked about our new extended wheel tubs for the ExtReme subframe, here's a few shots of Sicario's. Note these will not work out of the box as is for any other subframe, they are contoured specifically for the ExtReme. The divits you see near the back side, omne near the brake master, are for the down tube brace bars. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psw1vehcfl.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psifccu8q2.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psjlu6hjyy.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...ps18ypdpio.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...ps74cfjdde.jpg |
Thanks Ben ... looks like a great fit for the new subframe :thumbsup: Can you list the mounting points for me? What is the finish? raw fiberglass?
Thanks, Michael |
WOW what a sick build! Looking forward to more progress pics!
|
Michael- They come in a semigloss black gelcoat ready for finishing. Mounting uses most of the factory mount tabs. Some tabs may need to be bent slightly to make the angles the same as the tub surface. There is a factory firewall bracket that doesn't get used and will need to be trimmed to fit the larger tub. If you're running a clutch master with our bracket you will need to open a small hole in the driver's side tub for clearance. Overall It's a fairly easy installation.

More engine stuff, or rather how the exhaust fits with our extreme sub frames, torque arms and frame connectors. Several folks have been asking about this and as shown here we typically use dual 3" systems in most cars and send it out the back near the stock locations.
The entire system pretty much lays out like any typical system. Getting around the panhard bar is probably the tightest spot but can be done fairly easy with plenty of clearance. We use fuel tanks that are "notched" on the front corners to give us a little more wiggle room for routing tubes. Rick's tanks supplies us with these stainless tanks already built this way. Note the first couple pics illustrate the channels that come with the ExtReme subframe connector kit to route fuel lines and e-brake cables. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psf9anpxu2.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...pscnb1dbli.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...pszhfcladx.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psfnukoyfo.jpg |

Finally we're caught up and ready to post some final pics. Overall the car turned out great and our customer was completely blown away at the end results. I had a chance to drive the car out for a photo shoot, and it rode great, is super responsive, sticks to the road and has incredibly smooth power. Overall the drive matched it's great looks.

The full custom interior turned out fantastic! We used Speedhut for the custom Speedtech Signature Series ExtReme gauges, a Billet Specialties steering wheel and billet shifter surround add to the theme and vintage air takes care of HVAC duties.

Theme carried through on the made from scratch rear seats

Shortly after completion we took the car to a Goodguys show to have on display at our vendor booth. The car was a big hit with spectators and we won a Goodguys Staff Pick award! That was pretty exciting!
At last we gave the car back to it's owners and Dad Dave handed the keys over to son Mason who couldn't stop smiling. next up- Dad Dave's 1st gen Camaro gets the same ExtReme treatment! At this point we're anticipating having Sicario on display with us at our Speedtech Corral at LS Fest West in May. Come check it out in person! http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0djep7nu.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...pstohabgnt.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8setylhh.jpg |
