My buddy Brody Goble who i built his Formula Drift car for, took them for me. He does alot of marketing ect locally here so i asked him to come by and shoot a bunch for me. He uses a Sonry A7Riii with a few different lenses. Its more editing than the camera. But with my shop and the ****ty lighting to take pictures upwards it makes it a bit challenging. The few simple pictures tho i am blown away myself on how it looks to be honest.

The car looks beautiful under there, very nice.

Sandro any updates? Tommy showed me a few pics of the exhaust...beyond nice

Howdy from Delta. I just came across your build. Very Cool. Looking forward to seeing it.

Finally, after 3 bodyshops my car his painted!
 

Making some true progress on the car. I had the worst luck trying to get this car painted, but its finally done! Here's some pics of the progress so far, hopefully in the next few weeks i'll get this thing running and off to interior guy. Last minute color change before paint, ended up going BMW Mineral Grey Metallic. I stumbled across a build on here from Sheck, I believe? And other one that was painted this color, that I thought look really good.

Well Dam !!!

It looks beautiful and I am so happy it's painted. I know you have to be so happy and honestly it is such a stunning car..

You should be proud of what you have accomplished.

What a beautiful car!!!!!!!!

Sweet looking 2nd gen. I like the color.

Thanks Marty, it’s a long time coming. I can’t believe how may flakes are out there promising all sorts of stuff, just to disappoint you and run with your money! If I didn’t love working on these cars as much as I do, I would’ve packed it in a long time ago. Either way i’m on my way there and i’m almost done. I saw you basically took you whole car apart and redid a lot of it, Lol. Thats awesome, I think you love this as much as I do!


Thanks Jody, I’m pretty happy so far. I’ve seen your builds so you know anything less than close to perfect just wont do. Lol

Thanks, I was going to go with a light silver with stripes, but I’m happy with what direction it went in.

Fantastic! Sorry you had such trouble with the painters. The car looks amazing now though.

What is the purpose of the double x pipe does it help the flow or does it have another function
Thanks

There are plenty of those guys out there willing to take your money. I like working with Kenny as he’s honest about his billing and does a nice job.

The original goal with my car was to build it in three / four phases. Then I got sick and we did just enough to get it a nice running driving cruise night car. We fought motor issues and after 4 years and thousands of dollars I said F-It and yanked the motor. That’s kinda when the “While Your Here” moment happened. So version 2.0 began.

Then Covid so I then decided to add version 3.0 into the build since it’s not like we can actually do anything.

And that’s how I’m where I am at and yes I had to pay to have my motor completely redone. Looking back it will be Crate Engines from GM ONLY as they come with an actual warranty.

[QUOTE=syborg tt;706487]This statement is always on my mind when I see so many nice builds & wonder is it better to get something spec built or a factory assembly via GM. While both can 'fail' (like any mechanical item), which is more apt to have an issue? My bank account doesn't cover doing it twice but the Connect & Cruise set-ups initial price tag seems to cover that possibility of doing so just for the buy-in.

When I had the exhaust built, I left it up to my exhaust guy. I don't think it was done to get anymore performance gains. It was more him being creative and maybe trying to get a difference exhaust note.

[QUOTE=syborg tt;706487]Thats funny, I had to redo a bunch of stuff on my motor too. I originally bought my motor from Frank Serafine. He did a cam swap for me. Before putting the motor in the car I had it broken in on the dyno at an engine shop I deal with. I was mostly worried about how long it sat in my garage. As soon as it started up something went wrong, it was a while ago but I think a pushrod bent and something about oil pressure was way to high. Either way it was a brand new motor and it went from a simple break-in to a bunch of new parts. Lol

Either way, your car is looking awesome, and I’m sure when your done it’ll be that much better too. I think as long as we’re enjoying ourselves its worth it. If we can afford to do it and not go into debt, all good! The whole sourcing of parts and engineering of these cars is so rewarding. I’m hooked 😁

Looking Forward to seeing this car around town!!! Nice work!!

great build glad your getting near the end - we will need a sound clip if the exhaust- a work of art!

Very nice!

Awesome

Nicely done,very cool

[QUOTE=Sandro's 1969 502 Camaro;706546]I think the build is my favorite part.

[QUOTE=ScotI;706491]I am also learning that less is more and when it comes to old cars. I keep going back to the Singer Porsche model and that is to make it super clean and keep it as basic as possible. The Less is More keeps coming back time and time again for me. I have the 2010 Camaro with the SLP 575 package and I could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on my 70 camaro and never get it close to being able to do what the 2010 car can do and do with ton's of safety features.

Sandro good to see your car is back home. I had Tommy build an exhaust system for my 69 and it turned out great,sounds great.Crummy to hear about your engine problems.Where did you dyno and break it in at? It looks killer by the way...
