Its pretty insane there...every stall has a car, some have two cars, one up and another under and there was at lease a tech at each of them.

It was then that I realized that I needed to get my sh** together. It was funny, I told the guy (Aaron) that was assigned to the Camaro "and they actually pay you to work here?" he replied... "yeah, haa haaa but you get to build cool stuff like this".
That made me think, ok im on the right track. Just need more help!

Full on race cars are a PITA... I'd rather build you a strace car.

I just coined it here you all saw it.

cosigned, strace car was coined by Vince. What's a strace car? :headscratch:


The quarter mods came out looking great. Good job.

haa Thanks,

Street/Race car...I was just teezin Aris.

The car had a section from what looked like a door screen. I was going to replace the valance but decided to do something with the gaping hole.

20 ga cold rolled, bent shaped, made two flanges and opened up the centers. Added a 1/8" mesh and decided to leave the rivets silver. It plays off of the wheels well.

Better than a "reet-car," that's for sure.

Mazda powered BFG livery Lola T616 hiding on the right?! So sexy... GTP cars are the Elle MacPhereson of race cars. From an older generation and still 10x hotter than anything that's running today!

Didn't realize that was a video until just now (dang phone). So many toys! Love that Cheetah too!

haaaa "oh sorry, its a video"



Im going to miss the purple....

I definitely won't miss the purple!!

Yep, mo betta!

just bad ass looking.

Car is now over at Pats shop getting finished up for Friday's first run.

I hope he enjoys the car. Its good to get it back to where it belongs. Excuss me while I basically pass out. :faint:

Well done Vince! Without a doubt you've earned a Pass Out Breakfast in Bed card this month. :thumbsup:

Nice....So what are the odds of getting me out for Sunday at T-Hill ? :unibrow:

That probably depends on how many times you text, email, or call him between now and Saturday. :D

You can come out without a car........you won't be alone. :whistling:

Yup....definitely Sieg. Not going to let you come through my neck of the woods without seeing your ugly mug so either way I'll be there. :unibrow:

that's for Pat to decide. Hard work or not, goals were missed. A lot of work still to come. Thanks for the props. I love the way the car came out regardless. Wish I had a bit more time to fine tune it. I'm just not that fast.

let me see what I can do. Saturday pick up would be the only way.

Scott...you remind me that I need a secretary/ greeter. Ie interfearence person

I can be in by tomorrow morning.............. as you have learned no one can out text or talk me :BlahBlah:

I loved this build, but am so much more excited to see it leave LOL!!!!!:topic:

Looks great, Vince! The rear quarter widening is so seamless which, to me, is a great thing.

Seamless will be up to his body guys....which I am pretty sure don't like me much right now. If I do another a modified tail panel and spoilers are going to be on the must do list....oh and rocker exhaust outlets. :_party: :beavis:

thank you trey

I think I know a car that may need those rocker exhuast outlets... after your backlog of cars of course :y0!:

That looks great Vince. Looking forward to seeing it! :thumbsup:

Mother of god! Did that come out nice and get done quick! Awesome.

Great job Vince

Just one photo from 20 feet away. C'mon man :bang:

Everyone loves to hate on them but I never get tired of seeing a well built '69. Great work Vince.

thanks guys, it was a battle


thats cause your looking at the red one aren't you. haahaa
thanks man
The next one I do Im def gonna do the Anvil wider front and do a bit wider stretch in the back.

Looks damn nice Vince. It came a long way from where it started.

Im pretty happy with the way it turned out. Its a great track car. Hope to see it in the shop after a few track miles under its belt.

I figured it would update the thread with some current pictures. Car is for sale in the classified section. It is a great car but I am selling some of my toys for a new business venture

looks good pat, i like that you guys left the valance vent black.

So if I get a 2nd set of wheels, should I go to 5 5/8" or stay 5 3/4"? You have a set of fronts laying around the shop?

Cheers,
Jason

:buttkick: still the best rear fender stretch EVER! I bet that 99.9% of the people that looked at the car don't even realize the rear was widened 3 inches each side! and 2 on each front fender! :confused18:

Vince-

Two quick questions for you:

1) How do I do an oil change with the accusump? Leave it open at shutdown to put all of the oil in the pan, drain the oil/filter, fill new filter, install new filter, add XX quarts, start, warm, then bring to 3000, close accusump, and then turn the car off? Any idea how many quarts I should use, and how to I measure the level with the accusump, because won't the oil level in the pan depend on what oil pressure I close the accusump?

2) At freeway speeds the door panels rattle pretty badly - can I just drill out the rivets, put a few stripes of dynamat on the inside of them and pop rivet them back in place?

Thanks,
Jason

great work Vince! Jason is a very happy guy now! I didn't realize it is his car. I met him via LSx RX-7's :D

Hi Jason,

When I had it dry it took about 12 quarts.

I would drain with the accusump open. If you wanted to drain the accusump you can take the drivers side wheel off and remove the cover and remove the lower fitting and let drain. Not necessary but it can be done.

Fill it with 7 quarts. Start and watch the oil gauge. As soon as it shows pressure shut it down and recheck the oil level. My guess is you'll be in it 10 quarts.

" because won't the oil level in the pan depend on what oil pressure I close the accusump " no, its part of the system and just holds pressure. Just leave it open to level off.



On the doors, they have been gutted and I recommended the doors to be replaced. The reinforcement was cut out. You can try to dynamat. Don't need much. 3" x 22" strip on the inner panel. All riveted.

Thanks Mark, the thing is a BEAST!! You should see what the previous owner is into now. :Tomcat:

You mean the standard, 'I'm selling to start a new venture, uh I mean LMP car'? :lol:

Works for me :cheers:

Stalker.

I should really get a life :lol:

good place to stalk....:peepwall:
