Thanx for the explanation! It would be interesting to see an exploded version of the hat and attachment pieces, as I'm having a hard time visualizing all of the motion capability from the pictures. Specifically the lateral direction. But I have a better idea of how it's working now!

Guess I need to wear out my brand new rotors so I have an excuse to buy some new ones. ;)

Jame's,Those Rotor's are beautiful.Let's :gitrdun: for SEMA~!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Always impressive, thanks for sharing to detailed update.:hail:

Sorry for the delay in updating our progress, I’ve been a bit under the weather for the last couple of months and haven’t been in a position to get any serious headway made on the OLC. With our SEMA deadline now looming large, 100% healthy or not it was time for me to head down to California to put some time in on the car.

David and Mary had both been working on the car in my absence. Work continued on stripping out all of the sound deadener (all is a bit of an exaggeration, let’s say most of the easy to get to sound deadener) and the box is currently weighing in at a hefty 48 pounds…

Dave starting assembling the new suspension for the final time. The LG Motorsports billet drop spindles needed to me mated to the SKF hubs with the LG brake cooling ducts added for good measure

but first the uprights needed some tweaking to work with the first gen steering geometry. So… under the knife they went

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...ring%20arm.jpg

I’ve said it before – anyone can build an awesome part, it takes a certain kind of special to cut them up.

David had also been busy fitting the 1 7/8” Kooks headers in to the relatively tight AME subframe. The passenger side fit fairly well and needed only a bit of help to clear the frame rail.

but as expected the drivers side header needed a significant tweak to clear the steering shaft to the new rack

but with a little bit of work there was pretty decent clearance for the steering shaft

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...%20Arm%202.jpg

A final piece to the puzzle, we decided, was to swap out the solid shaft for a collapsible shaft with a slip yoke – just a bit of added protection for everything. Took a little bit of doing be we got one on the way while the headers went out for coating.

Saturday morning and the engine continues to come together, we started in on plumbing first thing and test fit the new Holley 90mm Throttle Body. The Kooks headers that David had to tweak are expected to be back later in the day so we’re trying to make some headway while they are out of the way.

In addition to getting the Holley Throttle Body in place we started working on a modification to the ATS Sidewinder accessory drive. Since we’re on a weight reduction kick we decided to see if we could eliminate the A/C compressor and idler by utilizing Katech’s billet tensioner unit. Alignment looks good but it’s going to need some tweaking.

While David was assembling the uprights and Mary started installation of the Corvette upper and lower control arms (now fitted with the LG Motorsports monoball bushings) I focused on getting the new electronics installed and wired up. First up was the Holley Dominator EFI, Holley’s touchscreen controller and the Davis Electronics traction control unit which is a direct plug-in to the Dominator EFI unit.

With the header out it was also an ideal time to get the thermostat plumbing done since access with the header in is, from experience, an exercise in frustration.

With that done it was time for a test fit with the still warm headers.

Mary got the suspension installed along with Baer’s new R Spec rotor and we set the caliper in to check spacing. The brake-cooling duct is slightly thinner than the stock Corvette spacer so we had to fabricate an additional spacer and then shim the caliper for proper alignment.

While David worked through spacers and such, Mary fabbed up a quick bracket for the Touchscreen and TC control while I continued on wiring.

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...ouchscreen.jpg

Simple and effective and with a bit more effort on the wiring front, functional as well!

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...een%20live.jpg

I have to say that I am really impressed with the Holley Dominator EFI unit from a wiring and integration perspective. Holley components are all plug and play and installation, so far, has been a breeze.

Progress continues on the suspension with the calipers properly spaced out and the additional shim in place the LG Motorsports brake cooling ducts are just about perfect

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...ng%20plate.jpg

With that done Mary focused on installing the shocks while David worked on machining some spacers for the tensioner modification. I, meanwhile, was working on getting the Racepak IQ3 dash to talk to the Dominator EFI unit and finishing some assembly under the hood. The spacers proved easy but we decided that the throttle cable spacer was going to need a tweak to ensure proper alignment with the new intake and TB.

It’s nice to have space and the RideTech T3 shocks have lots of room now

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...suspension.jpg

We still need to swap the adjustors on the shock but that will be an easy switch

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...20adjustor.jpg

And the remote reservoirs are right at home on the down tubes…

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...20T3%20can.jpg

Making one neat package when it’s all said and done.

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...r%20brakes.jpg

Which left with some final preparation work on the engine. Headers are in and fit like a glove…

The tensioner is waiting on some metric bolts to be finished up (funny, it’s harder than you would think to find 110 mm metric bolts on short notice)

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...er%20lines.jpg

So we’re in pretty good shape for now

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...%20togethe.jpg

We’re waiting on a base tune for the ECM that Mike Norris is putting together for us and we’re going to add one of Mike’s pcv breathers for good measure. Once we have that it’s a matter of replacing a couple of hoses, finding a new belt for the serpentine system, and fabbing up a new SPECTRE intake then we should be good to fire it up.

New steering shaft arrived, as did a new universal joint to accommodate the larger diameter (?) D-shaft

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/1967%20O...ring%20Arm.jpg

We’re waiting now for some exhaust pieces from Magnaflow to build a new 3” system and we should have some new wheels coming soon to give us some increased flexibility on tire choices – be we can talk more about that later.
