Robert - nope - I'll post info tomorrow.

James!
 

Really like what you have done! In the process of getting stuff together for a 68 Camaro project and a wing was at the top of my list along with some areo mods. That wing is very tricky.

Looking forward to future updates.

Everything is looking awesome!!! I think that all of these modern body mods on a '60s muscle car look great. Even more so when they serve a purpose. Can't wait to see more.

for the lights i am sure he is talking about :

are you going to do any tuff testing on the aero setup? what about a vortex generator for the rear wing? its good to see someone getting serious about the aero on there car. :yes:

Thanks Payton and Chris.

The wing is pretty incredible - I hope that it (a) works and (b) works well.

Rallystyle - yep, those are the headlights. I picked up a pair to test on the '68 to see it they were as good as they looked - yeah... they are pretty awesome. They also make a 4.5" driving light that we'll use.

We did some tuff testing on the old front end and learned a few things (mostly the obvious) and that led to some of the design elements that we're using. That, a couple of good aero books/texts, and some detailed pics of a C6.R all helped. There are a few things that aren't obvious in the pics or fully integrated yet. We've changed the shape of the back part of the wheel well (ala C6.R) and will be modifying the front of the wheel well once the wheels and tires are on next week. We were (are) planning on doing some more tuff testing with the new setup before it's done.

The wing was designed to work as is and I'm going to give it that chance. The Gurney flap on the deck lid will probably be a two piece deal that will allow for height changes (or at least testing) and I have a couple of styles of vortex generators here that we'll play with on the track.

James the car is looking great! It was an awesome car before but i really like everything your doing. Not only does everything look really cool but it will all function well to make a really cool car an even badder a$$er car. :lol: :thumbsup:

I'm hoping to post some info soon on the headlights. If the in-garage testing is anything like what they will be on the road, it's a serious improvement over the bad-boy glass 90/100 watt Hella's that were in the car. Working at 1/4 the power requirement, and having more than a 100 hour lifespan, is a big plus as well.

Think you missed a zero or two on the lifespan buddy but yeah... the difference between the LEDs and the halogens that I had in the car are huge. I think having 4 will be overkill but then again, driving through that reservation in the middle of the night on that 2 lane road... no such thing as too much light.

Nope. 100 hours is too close to trust, and anything with less power just isn't bright enough.

Isn't there something in the OLoA rules about auxiliary lighting restrictions?

EDIT:

Just this:

"All forward-facing lights must be controlled by a single dimmer switch."

My bad - I misread your post. The LEDs have a (claimed) life span of 50 times the halogen although some also say 10,000 hours. Either will do me fine.
