yup, straight Ms Jackson nasty. already pops.

Well I'm a little behind on updating this project but let me see what I can get handled this Morning.

We did our first months worth of work for the new owner, Troy. We are working to try and get the engine as low as possible with the Dailey Dry sump pan that is on it. We have a ton of clearance under the pan but the limiting factor is the bellhousing. So we have been exploring going to a relocated starter with a triple 7.25" clutch from Tilton or QuarterMaster.

The customer really wants to run a bad ass supercharged engine and he has great contacts with the guys at Whipple. So we have been exploring how to get a 2.9 - 4.0L super charger on this car with out having it look like a prostreet car. We have been playing with different ideas to try and make it really slick. If you notice this blower and manifold combo has a rear entry throttle body with completely hidden injectors in the manifold. This game plan would be awesome with the rear billet aluminum firewall we are laying out to design. Plus this low profile manifold and pulley system from Wegner might keep things under the hood.

The blower manifold mock up in this picture is a little high still but, like I said we think we can drop the engine 2" still. The sheetmetal is just a mock up to begin designing a billet firewall that will be machine from 5/8 plate and become a lightened structural member of the car.

You can see it still looks a little "Prostreet" with the full intercooler and such.

You can see the way the aluminum firewall will set in the car around the designed frame pieces once it is built. It will go in from the front and bolt in from the interior.

In this picture you can see how we have brought the upper tube crossmembers back to the reinforcement plate that goes inside the tailpanel.

In this picture you can see the mock up fuel tanks we set up to define the perfect shape before we send the these to Rick's Tanks to make the dual pump system for this car to handle the Horsepower.

Once the rear diffuser is defined we will mount the battery in the center of the tubes but closer to the axle center line to minimize the swing weight.
You can also see the extension of the rear valance all the way forward to the back of the wheel tubs. You can also see how beefy our chassis tables are. You can't make a chassis table out of material weaker then the car and intend it to anything more the just jack stands. Plus you can't make the table and roller and expect it to be level where ever you move it in the shop. :idea: :idea: :idea:

Finally here is the mock up of the pedal system that will allow us to make custom pedals that we can machine and give us a really nice steering column angle. Hanging pedals would be tough in this car as the reservoirs would be really tight to the hood and tough to fill and the hanging pedals would limit the angle of the column and require more angle to send it through the firewall below the master cylinders and inbetween the brake and gas pedal usually.

We should start back on this months round of work next week. It is coming along nicely and I hope to start doing some heavy design work on the front end of the car.

Thanks for taking time to look.

Dorger, :peepwall: this is going to be your EPIC build right there!

Thanks, I'm sure this one will be awesome, But we have a build or two waiting in the wings that may out do this Camaro. We have two great repeat customers working toward out doing what we have already done for them by along shot on these new projects.... No pics and nothing else to say but just trust me they will be awesome.

Some people know the car I'm talking about. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Holy thats Nice... this guy must be a billionaire :sarcasm_smiley:

the pick of the over view of all the cars you guys are working is just a beautiful view

Thanks, According to Greg, that's my normal view. I was standing upstairs when that was taken, don't believe the peanut gallery.

:sarcasm_smiley: :sarcasm_smiley: :sarcasm_smiley:

I like this pic the best!

Rodger thx for posting updates on this one. Can't wait for details on your pipeline builds :teaser:

I know Troy has a line with Whipple and they do make great power, but Maggie has a couple of new models that fit under the hood.

Not sure if you're running a 6.2 or 7.0 and I'm sure you know their line up, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
