Sweet parts Nick, those wheels are my favs. :thumbsup:

Kick ass! Going to be an awesome ride Nick! :thumbsup:

As soon as we get that damn Karma car done we can start this one... :lol:

Hey Ryan,
I'm diggin' 'em too.
I think they're gonna look sweet on this car.

N

LOL!! Soon!! Real soon!! :unibrow:

I saw one of the latest pics they posted of the car on Facebook. I think it is giving me an excuse to go visit the guys at comp speciaties tomorrow morning before work (if i can get up early enough after I work until 3:00AM tonight)

Take some pics for us!!!

Admit it, your hoping for an off camera shot of your car aren't ya.:thumbsup:

.............yes :D

Hey Pete no pressure, but now that Karma is gone how about doing some occasional Orange Crate updates on here:yes:

Then again don't you excel when you're under pressure?:unibrow:

Lots of work has been happening on the Krate.. just not much posted here. :)

Go to www.camaroperformers.com and you can find a bunch of tech stories.

The DSE suspension is in place and this week I build the 416 stroker LS3 for her.

The next big step is paint..

Hey Steve is the engine going to be installed in Cali. or is Pete installing it?

What happened? Is the car done?

Making progress.. the body is looking good and we just mated the 416 LS3 stroker to the DSE subframe. Pete over at Comp Specialties is doing a killer job. Also bolted on the Hurst Driveline Conversion's TKO-600 and Centerforce clutch.

Lots of bodywork was needed, sort of slowed the project down, but it's moving much faster now.

Nice to see the update. I remember seeing this car in the shop before it was started. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Steve what brand headers are those?

Thanks for the update Steve, I'm sure Nick is stoked :thumbsup:

Thanks for getting me in trouble! When I stood up after seeing this car porn my wife asked what I was looking at to get so excited. When I told her it was an engine I don't think she believed me. :drool:
That looks sweet!! Very nice guys.

Man that looks so nice.

Those are Lemons headers.

Nick

That whole suspension and engine/trans setup is a thing of beauty!

Here's the latest on Project Orange Krate.
I have to send major "props" to Pete at Competition Specialties in Walpole, MA. for keeping this project alive. As you can see here, he has put every ounce of his heart and soul into this car. I have to give a shout out to Chuck Vranas who has been doing an excellent job of capturing the build for every article in Camaro Performers magazine. Thus far the project has taken over two years and the attention to detail is paying off dramatically.
Those Lateral-g wheels from Boze make the car look absolutely fantastic and the stance comes by way of the DSE subframe and QUADRALink rear suspension system.
I have to thank Zak and Larry for building such a killer-looking wheel.
Keep following along in the magazine as this project is really starting to come together.
