So how about some pics from 2010. Looks like your holding out on us by just about a year. :willy: :willy: :willy:
Looks like I might see this car in Columbus. Could it be? |
Hey...:captain: what Year is this?
It will be at the Sema show with a cover on it "BASF Booth" I'm assured.:thumbsup: |

I hope start uploading more pictures by the day, because November is a long time to wait to see more of this thing. Matt |
I've got a dry sump pump setup very similar to that engine, and I've stared at it many times wondering if there was room for an A/C compressor somewhere, and now I know that it can be made to work. I believe Roush uses the Billet Specialties FEAD system. It almost looks like it doesn't interfere at all.
Oh yeah, I see, their pump is mounted lower on the block than mine, I am actually using the lowermost timing cover bolt hole for the pivot point which is why I can't fit a normal tensioner in there. Still, its helpful to see how the drivers side stuff is mounted. If you have any closeup photos of how the oil pump mounts I'd love to see them. Anyway that motor looks totally boss ! |
First of all, Wow.
Secondly, Thanks for posting all these pictures of the build progress.:wow: Looking at a finished car is one thing, but getting a look at it's construction and design by builders of this caliber is simply mind-boggling.:wow: :faint: If a picture is worth a thousand words, this simple web thread is an entire set of encyclopedias Thank You! Mike |
Thanks Mike,
Great looking AMC you have. When I look at these build pictures and when I get a chance to visit my car I'm still in awe. JA- more pictures to come. |

The car is looking great. I love fab work with tasteful use of dimple dyes. It makes the car look so much cooler when you see all of the custom touches going into it.
|
amazing
This fab work is increddible, I think you should just spray it with a few
coats of flat clear and show it off. |

The car is turning out great! I just have one comment to make, most shops use scrap two by fours or misc. wood as supports to hold things up, these guys use solid chunks of aluminum. That is classic and awesome! |
JA, Thanks for giving me my morning fix :thumbsup: , can't wait to see it at SEMA this year.
Any thoughts on color? |
I gotta say I have about 1000 pictures of Mike Ring sanding, sanding, and more sanding. Wait make that 1200 pictures of Mike sanding.
I would have never guessed it was so much work to have an amazing paint job. I loved the comment on the wood stands vers billit. As for the color I will hold off till the Sema show IF I can. I hope to see you all at the Sema show. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01671.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01669.JPG http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01667.JPG JUST AMAZING.:faint: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01694.JPG AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK HE HAS IT WHIPPED. NOPE MORE SANDING.:wow: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01691.JPG http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/So...0/DSC01677.jpg |
Awesome to see how much work goes into this sort of build. I think you kinda let the cat out of the bag with regard to color though in the one pic....

What kind of primer? Is that polyester primer like Z grip or something?
|
Nice progress it looks great. If it looks that good with primer imagine how its going to look with color.
|
All that work on the deck lid and rear caps are for the carbon fiber mold process.
Then it has to be prepped again for paint.:faint: |
Wow, ok then. Color is still a mystery!!
If you don't learn something new every day you're doing something wrong! |

I had done some painting over the years to various different mororcycle bits when I was roadracing, then did all the sanding on my Javelin:faint:, which I would say qualifies as average paint work. I honestly can't imagine the blocking and sanding effort on a build of this quality. I saw the Ring Brothers Camaro at one of last years Power Tour stop and to see that paint work with my own eyes gives a new perspective on what quality paint IS. |
I could be wrong, but that primer color looks like the unmistakable color of Rust Defender polyester primer. Yes their craftsmanship is amazing.

Really....... What can you say!:hail: :wow: :faint:

This thing should have a Build Book to do it justice! :bow:
|
Darn, beat me to it.
This build deserves a build book. |
Thanks for the great comments.
THESE GUYS REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL.:D http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01746.jpg FRONT BUMPER & LOWER FAIRING GETTING PREP WORK THEN SENT OUT FOR CARBON MOLD. :thumbsup: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01748.jpg SHE LOOKS SWEET UNDER HER SKIRT. :cool: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01749.jpg I wanted under coating, but I was corrected. Seems putting under coating on her would be like putting baggy stockings on a Woman with sexy legs…So she will get painted.:unibrow: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01750.jpg Mike & Jim Ring work their butt off as well as all the staff. :faint: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01753.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Ss...0/DSC01754.jpg I hope you enjoy the action pictures. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Ss...0/DSC01757.jpg Last media blasting. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Ss...0/DSC01759.jpg |
Wohoo, that means it's getting close to paint:willy: JA, you must be very excited, congrats on this beautiful project.
|
Another fine Ring Bros project coming together, great motor choice.
I viewed your car in the early stages about 5 months ago when I stopped in by Mike and Jim. Great shots of Mike doing things hand on. How often have you flew in to check on the project? |
Sweet!

I was there in May and the next time I'll see her will be at the Sema Show this Nov. |
Couple more of the media blasting.

My hat is off to Staci for taking all the pictures for us. She risked life and limb at times...Ask her about the time she was on the creeper and her hair got traped in the wheels. She was yelling for help but with all the grinding in the shop no one could hear her. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: She is a treasure. :thumbsup: |
|
Nice progress pictures. Its looking sweet.
|
Keep the pic coming and thanks for posting.:thumbsup:
|
Steller bro---wow---what an amazing opportunity to work with those guys---they are a great group for sure. Your car is a top priority for me at SEMA this year--congrats---.

Thanks for all the great comments! :thumbsup:
It's great to supervise from 2000 miles. :rofl: :rofl: More shots of the front air dam and bumper before it gets sent to be carbon molded. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01723.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01722.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01733.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01743.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Sp...0/DSC01744.jpg Here is Mike thinking "Hey where is all my elbow grease?" http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Ss...0/DSC01786.jpg Alright, more hands on deck. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5tBNuJc3R20/Ss...0/DSC01787.jpg :lateral: :lateral: |
That looks like their nicest built to-date. You must be very excited.
|
The bottom side of your car will be 4x nicer than the topside of mine. Unbelievable amount of effort going into this.
