And that's how you aero :thumbsup:

How far are you going out with the splitter?

Hello Jenny Craig! :thumbsup:

******* **** man

Are you going to be selling the fenders?
 

I will be in the market for some this summer. How much?

Time for rename: Blu Balz ---> Balz Out :D

Looking good. I'm always surprised at how willing you and the owner are to continue with serious mods to a very nice "completed" build. Not too many would have the "Balz" to do that :thumbsup:

Payton,

Anvil makes carbon fenders for 69's already. Blu is a 68.

And, the viper yellow looks good on your car. It would look damn good with the carbon as the black on your fenders.

^ I think Payton knows this...

:goofy:

:computer:

Alright. Does he have another project in the works? One that he hasn't shared...maybe?

You're gonna have to ask Payton that.... :whistling:

Yellow car was sold around April of 2012
 

It now resides in Az. Yes, I may have one in the works.

Glad Payton asked first.
I would seriously consider a set as well, I bought too big of wheels for the front of my car:lostmarbles: . so rather than buy new wheels I think I should just buy wider fenders :G-Dub:

great job on the carbon fiber...are you vacuum bagging? parts look great

JCG,

How big of a wheel is blue going to run in the front?

I currently have two local sources doing my molds with CF & fiberglass pcs.. Lucky I found these guys.. Not cheap to make molds.. but in the end worth the weight savings.. Karl owns the molds & has given me permission to pop some pcs off the molds.. but again it might be expensive.. I do not have molds for the inner fender wells.. Brett from Fab53 pulled parts off the top layer.. New to the composite world.. Brett can explain it in better!

About 2.50 inches.. If all goes well we will be testing aero this weekend or next on another car..

Trying to keep with your son on the CF parts & build details! :lol:

Good qestion Payton.. I have few people PM'ing me asking the same questions.. I am working on a few things before I offer them for sale.. Need to proof fitment.. & build a method to mount hood hinges..

Again new to the composite world... I think there was not vaccum bagging.. wet lay-up...

Here is pic..

305-30-19 in a pilot SS Michelin... Which is about a 315 in any other tire manufacture sizes

Got the motor out today! It needs a little freshing up.. Mikey @ QMP is gonna do a few upgrades... The transmission is going out to RPM to get a little TLC..

Absolutely an amazing build. I'd kill to get that front clip!

LOL Chris, in all the excitement, didn't get to say hi last Saturday at RTTC. I will hook up with you next time.

The fenders look killer! I did speak with Carl and he mentioned the weight difference is about 68 lbs, that's awesome!

By the way, we are working on some CF three piece wheels for the project that will be debuting at SEMA if all goes well.

Been a while since I have shared any updates on Blu... Got all the new composite front clip painted & almost finished installing.. The guy that did the molds & parts for us did a great job! Parts fit with very little modifications on the fit...

Pic of the molds...

Mike Maiers helping us get Blu dialed in this weekend @ Delmar Goodguys!

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5fb049cf.jpg

haaa nice. That Mike, I bet he'd be sideways at the drags too.

Car is so freaking badass. Any updates?

Very awesome Cris. That shot says it all. You gotta be very happy with your "creation". :trophy-1302:

Blu is currently home in TN... Karl has been driving it @ some of the events.. DSE Slam & Heidits.. plus doing some local SCCA Auto-X in his home town..

Next event will be FaceOff.. & has a few more events till Oct. Then the car comes home to CA.. :D :D for winter break..

Looking great Chris, any chance you are going to make anymore of those fenders? I have a friend that is looking for a set.

This is the hardest we have pushed Blu on the road coarse! Had a blast @ Road America!

running and sounding great!!!

Nice run Cris, glad to BB's getting beat on like it was built for.

Amazing, simply amazing. Great job.

Such a sweet ride. Chris you guys do such great work. :thumbsup:

Thank you guys! In three weeks were @ Gingerman Raceway for the Motorstate Challenge.. Bring my spare keys so when Karl isn't looking I will sneak the car away! :warning:

:secret: You're lucky! If I wasn't trying to get sponsored by Fosters, you would never be able to sneak the Blu past me!:bigun2: :bigun2: :bigun2:

Very nice work. I love the color of the firewall.

Been a while since I posted any updates on Blu.. Karl has been racing the crap outta this car.. DSE Southern Slam, Heidts Performance Car Challenge, Faceoff Road America, RTMC - Run to Music City - Nashville Speedway, & a few local SCCA Autocross events in Karl’s home town.. Car is doing very well & is performing great.. A few issues @ the beginning with the car.. but have been sorted.. In a few weeks were off to Motorstate.. Looking forward to that event..

Here are some action shots from RTMC in Nashville.. Car even gets raced in the rain!!! Good thing the wipers worked..

Danny Popps quote on Facebook!

Eating a good dinner after a VERY successful two days of instructing, learning, testing and evaluation. Karl was haulin' ass and matched the instructors ax time today!! Watch out world, there's gonna be a new sheriff in town — with Cris Gonzalez at Yard House.

Great job Karl.

I love seeing this car tear up the cones; this car gets pushed and seems really love it. Doesn't hurt that it always has excellent drivers.

:thankyou:
