Hey Mike any word on your car yet?

Are they fixxing it?

Oh yeah, they are taking care of everything.
The rear is being shipped to Byars performance in Ky to be fixed and assembled there tomorrow. The Boyd Wheels should be here this week. I'm hoping to get the rearend back by late next week. They are still working on what's left at this point till the rear gets back. I'm hoping by the time it comes back, that's all they will have to do to get it rolling again.

I want to give a huge thanks to Freddie Byars of Byars performance on the fast work he did in getting my rear end rebuilt and now shipped back to gearhead garage. He typically is in the camaro forums as Biggearhead, but I wanted to give the guy some love here. I should (hopefully) have the car shortly after that.

I love the color combo what size boyd are on the rear? :thumbsup:

Thanks. The wheels are 18X10 in the rear.

What was the paint code for your stripes?? I lost my notes :(

Thanks..

Any progress?

Hey Steve. I used Nissan 350Z silver on the stripes. I don't have the codes off hand, if you need them I can get them today?
Well I talked to the shop today, and the rearend should be there by tomorrow. It goes on, and then it gets to go to the interior shop for about a week while the new aircon lines go in and the rest of the interior and stereo system. The stereo is done, just waiting for the custom door panels to go on to cover them. The wiring is done. Everything else is done. It has to be aligned and tuned. I had an issue with steering and the brakes when the Hydroboost was installed. It would feel notchy as did the brakes so I think there has to be some air in the lines, but nothing can get done till the rearend goes back on. After that is done, the car goes back to the paint shop for the touch up under the wheel well when the wheel blew off. Other then that :lol:
They need to have it done by August 1st for Hot August nights in Reno.

Yea, if you could get me the code I would appreciate it.. thanks! -- its that same smokey silver (silverstone?) right?

Nice to hear that progress if going again.. now don't wreck it this time ;)

Hey Steve, I tried to e-mail you, but your box is full. Anyways here is the code for you

Silverstone - Diamond Graphite - Sparking Silver - WV2
Let me know if this helps.

Thanks
Mike
P.S Ill try not to wreck it again by letting the wheel explode on me on the freeway :willy:

Perfect.. now that I see it I remember it. THANKS!

Mike,

Glad to hear things are progressing on your car. Keep us updated.

Ok, all the problems on the car have been addressed. I should have the car by Septemtber 1st. That's the drop dead date. The only thing at this point that needs to be done is the custom interior, and the last of the AC hoses and it should be charged by tomorrow.

The car looks great! I went over to your webpage and kept saying to myself "yep, thats whats happening on my project". What started as a mild update of aging brakes, wiring etc. has no turned into a Wayne Due C5 equpped sub frame complete with Z06 6 piston calipers and rotors , a Hot Rods to Hell Truckarm Suspension out back, a 6.0 LS1 and the list goes on. The car is currently getting a full roll cage installed (thanks to my friends at Ballistic Trux in Rocklin, CA) this coming week to tie everything together.

I too was looking at your picks and was wondering what that was mounted to your firewall where the wiper motor would normally be. Is it an aftermarket wiper motor? Also, I talked to Pascual at Marquiz last week and asked him when the 67-68 door panels were coming out and he told me they were working on them now (there is a 5 degree difference on the dash angle from the 69) and should be available in late October. They are expensive and still need to be upholstered once you get them but they really look nice and might be worth a look.

I'm up in Foresthill behind Auburn. Maybe one of these days I'll see you at a local car gathering.

Hey Thanks.
Yeah it's always the small stuff that leads to the big builds. I went to a different direction with the interior then what Marquez was doing, just to be a little different. Ill post the photos soon. The aftermarket wiper motor is from DSE, and it's their 5 speed lay down model. Yeah, I'm sure Ill see you at a few car shows this coming year.

Looking forward to seeing your car done Mike.

Me too. :D

Hey Mike, I bet you'll drive it like a old chinese woman. :_paranoid

Leave your family out of it. :lol:

I was talking about your mom. Oh, and she says hi. She'll call you when she gets out of the shower.

My mom huh? You should take a visit to the clinic and start off with a shot of penicillin.

Ok these pictures are not the best, but you have an idea of what the interior is going to look like. I get the car next week.

That looks sooo good! I like the patern that was stictched into the center console. The rear deck looks great also!! Dahm, the door panels look great also!

well you know not the door panels but the quarter panels.

I love it. That center console is killer :thumbsup: .

What interior lights are those on your rear most pillar? They look like small round billet light. Where did you get those?

The guys at Gearhead got them. Ill call them after the weekend to see where they got them. They are a billiet aluminum and look pretty cool.

More pictures.
If all goes well, I finally get the car this weekend. More interior shots.

Looks great. :thumbsup:

It better be for the money I'm spending. :wow:

Looks great Mike. Can't wait to see it in person.

Very nice Mike!! :thumbsup:

Damn I'm picky..... Looks good, but..... :_paranoid

I'm not going to crash it if that's what you mean. :P

The devil is in the details. I bet you can't figure that one out.

That's ok, your little brain works in mysterious ways. :D

Hey Mike,

I am going to see your car today. Gearheads wants me to see what they have done, and to look over a few things I might want. Pictures look good.

Take your camera if you can. Those guys don't know how to take good pictures. :unibrow:

Sorry didnt take a camera. Talked with them for a little while.

Your car is BAD A$$!!! I hope mine turns out as well as yours has.

It's Home :thumbsup:
