Man that looks excellent. Ya got skills!

More metal finishing

Fitting the fender wells to the DSE suspension

^^^^^ Definitely a skill I do NOT have lol. Looks fantastic.

Thanks to Stielow's many post's we decided this to be the preferred dry sump location

You won't go wrong following Marks advice. :thumbsup:

Nice! Keep posting progress of this please!! Good chance I'll be doing something similar in the future and would like to learn all I can.

Fitting the fender wells to the DSE suspension

That would be great, I know I've learned a thing or 3 from your build, and questions you've helped me with along the way
Thanks

Oil tank and filler cap

That oil fill cap is pretty slick. Will you keep it body color?

That's the plan for now

Installing the drivetrain for mock up

Engine, transmission and rear end are in. Setting drive line angles measuring for the driveshaft, fabricating the tunnel to the Tremec., but first we looked for a trans cross member. We looked for something strong but would allow enough room for a 3 inch exhaust to tuck nicely under the floor. The bottom cross member came from Bowler, the middle Chris Alston and not sure where the top one came from.

After test fitting the transmission cross-members we decided to go a different direction and Kennedy fabricated a cross-member that's welded to the floor and rockers. In a discussion with Sled Alley it was suggested to use a rubber transmission mount to avoid vibration issues.

A DSE crossmember. Nice

I was curious about your steering column firewall mount. Could you give me some details?

:king:

It's just an ididit steering column firewall mount. It's been a while but it may be Borgeson product, they make good stuff!
Since then we returned the Ididit column and went with a GM tilt steering column.

Those Welds

Wow !!!

Kennedy working the gaps

Looks great! I love seeing cars in raw metal.

Wow does that look great

Tunnel and center console

:king:

Very clean work !!!

Mind sharing what center air vents are being used in the dash ?

Looks nice

Some very nice work going on...

The center and side air vents are Porsche 911 993, when inverted the center air vent fits the curve of the 75-76 Nova dash pad. Later in the build we scrapped the center air vent for 2 of the side vents mounted just below the dash pad and above the ash tray

Looks fantastic and I can't wait to see the final dash.

Same thoughts here. Definitely nice to see something that breaks from the norm, subtly !!!

Brakes and ducting: After significant research we chose AP Racing brakes offered by Essex parts in the US and is a UK based company that has been around since 1920 owned by Brembo S.p.A since 2000. I was discussing brakes with Tobin at Kore3 and he was telling me how impressed he was with the Radi-CAL caliper design. Part #: 13.01.10025 these are 6 piston caliper with 355mm x 72 mm disc front and Part #: 13.01.10059 are 4 piston caliper, 340mm x 28mm disc rear. These are kits offered by Essex parts for the C6 and use a C6 E-brake assembly offered seperately. We also use a brake air duct offered for the C6 and the Stielow method for ducting air through the frame rail. Thanks again to Tobin at Kore3 and Stielow for sharing his previous builds

Nice parts!! :thumbsup:

Yes....super nice!!

Sweet looking brake set up!

Akrapovic C6 Z06



Turn up the volume

Thanks XcYZ

Early in the build process and determined to use the LS7 as the power-plant I found Akrapovic was building exhaust components for the C6 Z06. I've had Akrapovic pipes on a couple of KTM bikes in the past and have always felt there quality and sound was incomparable in the aftermarket

Exhaust:

Fitting the 3" exhaust proved to be difficult (it wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't). Keeping clearance from the floor and from being the low point on the car one of the reasons we constructed the transmission support "rocker to rocker" and "in floor" (see previous posts) .
The mufflers are huge, we raised the trunk floor and used a Fuelsafe cell in the trunk.
The mufflers have baffles that we control with Lokar stainless cables and an early Porsche 911 brake lever that has a second lever we used to manually open/close the baffles. Porsche used the lever for heater control

:cheers:

T to his build is sick. !!!
