Latest update. The trunk was modifies slightly to help with 3" exhaust clearance and checked with clearance on the gas tank. Plenty of room now with no issues. The back seat springs have been narrowed to fit the DSE mini tubs. The entire bottom of the car was shot with Lizard Skin with two coats of the sound and two coats of the ceramic. I didn't like the Lizard Skin for a final finish. It seemed a bit gray and I wanted a black bottom and when wiped or scratching the bottom you the material became a little scuffed and I was looking for a little more ease of cleanup. I called and spoke with Marx here in Houston at Lizard Skin and asked if I could shoot paint over the material and he said no problem. We used a single stage urethane black satin and the finish came out great. The bottom of the car is now complete. The interior will be next. We will repeat the same process with exception of the painted finish and then I will lay Dynamat on top of everything. I want a quiet car and this should do the job. I am very happy with the Lizard Skin, huge difference wi just the bottom done already. I will post picks of final finish, these pics are of the ceramic finish before the paint.

waiting to warm up to finish lizard skin, cant shoot below 70 degrees

Ralphlovs72chev 01-17-2013 08:11 AM

Ive used Lizard skin before. It was good stuff. Yes you should wait for it to get warmer. Im stuck too with the tempreture being cold. Your car is coming out nice. :thumbsup:

Its looking good.

Updates on this car? Was looking forward to the progress pics!

regraves77 01-23-2014 09:02 AM

Been busy with work and life my friend. I am acutally just getting back started on it as we speak. I will start posting some pics. Currently working on accessory drive to make the LSA fit the DSE subframe. Unfortunately it looks as if I will have to make a cut on the frame below the A/C compressor, going with Sanden SD7.

I want to give Kevin at V8TV thanks for making me the brackets for the A/C and alternator. He sent me a setup that was identical to what he used on Lou's Change. Im ordering he Alt and A/C compressor today to fit them on the engine for the subframe modification. I plan on running the factory setup. I did notice where Ridetech has used a Vintage Air setup on an LSA that was modified and was wondering if anyone else had run a setup other then the stock drive system?

Where is the best place to buy Baer 6p brakes? Recaro Seats?

I am going up to North Carolina this coming week for work and go by DSE to get a plan on what I need from them to finish as well and visit with my buddy Chris Mozley and go for a spin in his Blue DSE 69 Camaro. I cant believe he has it on the classifieds on here. Beautiful and nicely built car.

Check with Matt's Classic Bowtie as I believe they're a dealer for those brakes or GAP Racing. I have dealt with both and BOTH are excellent vendors.

Nice thing about GAP is you being in Houston you can drop in and say "Hi."

Thanks for the updates and looking forward to more.

I was very happy with the way these wheels turned out and the stance.

will69camaro 01-24-2014 06:22 AM

Yea man looks awesome. What size are those? I'm probably going to end up ordering GA3's for mine as well. There will be a few cars in Houston with those wheels but all different finishes as far as I know.

Car looks really good. LSA looks right at home in there :)

New Parts
 
Received Clayton Machine pedals today and the AutoRad new core support with radiator. I will have to say, I was impressed with the packing on the AutoRad parts, WOW.

NOPANTS68 03-10-2014 02:09 PM

Man those pedals are incredible.

Looks Great and coming along nicely. Forgeline wheels are the best, can you tell me what are the back spacing measurements you used?

waynieZ 01-04-2015 09:40 PM

Any updates ?
