Front brakes
 

Here is a pic of the front brakes we are using.. The hat offset is to shallow so we are to have to machine a set of hats that have a deeper offset to clear the wheels.. Rotor diameter is 14.25 on all four corners..
Caliper are W6A silver powder coated with custom Wilwood logo that I have to paint in black for the outline..

Gonzo I said it before I'll say it again YOU THE MAN! The car is looking awsome!!:cheers:

Thank you!:D This build has been is taking me into a different level of car building..

:bow:
I knew when i first seen it lol Great job so far :thumbsup:

Thank you! I appreciate the compliments.. :D

This car looks great!

Is the frame painted yet? In the picture with the new wilwoods, the frame looks like it is raw...

The chassis is not painted yet.. Car is going in for final body work on Monday, then it comes back to me to blow car apart for underside bodywork & paint.. @ that point I start sending all suspension components to powder coat..

Any updates Gonzo ?

The car is in body & paint @ this time.. The gaps are being modified, drip rails shaved, fittting front sheet metal.. The car should be painted in the next couple of weeks! :unibrow:

It looks like we are not going to have the car painted soon.. This is the latest pic of where it stands today :mad:

what the heck? Is that THE '69???

What happened?

Anyways.. if they don't work out, I know a place.. ;)

Yes! It is the 69 that was in the F body garage ..

The customer wanted for the car to get painted by Palmer Customs in Camarillo.. They do awesome work.. & this is how I delivered the car.. They are behind schedule cause have a few cars going to the Grand National Roadster Show in January..

It is great that you back up paint shop for :yes:

Nothing like a Palmer paint job. :beavis: Can't go wrong there.

Hood latch
 

The car might be @ body & paint but we are still making one off custom parts!
Here is what the hood latch will be looking like.. We need to add pockets to the base to remove some weight & give it a little more style.. The pin & spring retainer will be made of 17-4 stainless :unibrow:

Nice - I am really starting to like all of these custom billet parts

Thanks Marty! I got plenty more that we are designing :unibrow:

Good timing I think I need one on the orange camaro !!!

Let me know! I will probably run about five of these to some extra lying around.. I will have the model tomorrow with the the safety catch..

Bitchen!!!! I will let him know when he gets back from Hawaii

Here is the model with safety catch!

More Billet Custom pcs
 

Here is a shifter lever that we made for this build! We made it with interchangable knobs to see which one the customer will like.. & the reason it is L shaped is that it moves the position further back so the driver can rest his arm on the console & is within reach!

We are also making our own hood hinges.. design is still in the works!

Cool hinges, I think everyone needs their own CNC machine!

This just makes me pissed. I was told that Wilwood does a 14in rear with that caliper. Figures.
Nice work BTW!:thumbsup:

Engine wiring
 

We are still in body work mode for this 69! I hope to have the car painted by late Jan or early Feb.. In the mean time we have been wiring the motor up & getting the belt drive done.. We will also be detailing the the motor in the a week or so & setting the motor on a test stand to fire it up to ensure we have no leaks..

That engine looks sweet!!

I agree Wayne. I'm not really a supercharger fan, but that looks like a nice piece of machinery right there.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Hmm... might look good on a certain orange Camaro I know of.. lol

Wow I can't believe I haven't seen this project! Very nice I like what you guys are doing with this 69. Very nice work.

I am working on the web site!!! Ben H finished the logo & now gotta get all pics, txt, & yada yada together..

I will make sure to have an extra one lying around for that orange car :D

Simply Awesome! :thumbsup: This is one of my favorite build threads.

Final design on hood latch
 

This is the final design we came up with on the hood latch assembly! Cutting chips today :D I think the cup & the pin will look good in stainless & base in aluminum!
