I've always been extremely careful spec'ing out internal fuel tank hose, using only the hose specifically SAE rated for fuel immersion, and was under the impression that none of the retail style aeroquip/earl's etc. braided or otherwise hose was appropriate. That just looks like standard push on hose like you can buy at Summit or wherever. Can you tell us what brand/spec blue hose that is ?

Nice job laying out the fuel sump and pickups and stuff, but of course I assume RS would be top notch.

Staged injection? Looks very nice!

Thanks.

It is Aeroquip hose, rated for immersion. Same stuff Fuel Safe uses.

I enjoyed looking at this project when I was up there last month!! Its looking good!!

Awesome work once again!!!

Any updates?

That fuel cell is awesome.

I'd have built the fans to drop out the bottom so they could be serviced easily if they needed to be. :hello:

When you start lowering your consulting fees maybe we will start using you!:G-Dub: :lol:

Either way it is a few bolts and the fan comes right out.

We will throw a few more pics up tomorrow. Been doing a lot of the little detail work in the engine compartment, fabbing the exhaust, and finishing up all of the loose ends before going to body work.

Good one!!



It was hard to tell the clearance from the anti-roll bar...



That build is fantastic BTW!!

:hail: :hail:

Very cool... keep 'em coming...

Well it's today and I'm bored !!!!:warning:

Some progress update pics:

Received our custom ordered gauge set from Speedhut (with 200MPH speedo of course, boost gauge not pictured)

Work continues on the motor plumbing, intake etc. Mock up of the revised intake for the Nelson plenum: The intake will span from ahead of the radiator core, rearward to the regular intake opening. The roughed out profile pieces you see will be machined from aluminum with a rubber bellow connection the same profile as the ends you see here.

On the underside, fab work begins on an air scoop to maximize airflow.

Im liking the new intake run for the Nelson intake...can't wait to see the steps to make it happen. :popcorn2:

:hail: :hail: :hail: nough said

.....ummmmm........WOW :cheers:

WOW!!!!! That's just about as COOL as it GET!!!!!!!!.

Very nice as aways! Like Scott said WOW!

Got damn!! (please excuse my language) :king:

DITTO!!!

I'll triple that, WOW! Every aspect of that metal work is just off the charts. cant wait to see more progress.

Amazing work.

Awesome build!!!

I have a kinda dumb question but I gotta ask, what do you use when cutting cutouts like next to the headlights on the body? A air powered reciprocating saw? Cutoff wheel? You just have such clean edges and nice cuts I'm curious your method.

I love your work!

RS second gen super camaro build
 

This things AMAZING! The work on this Camaro is just excellent! You guys have some real talent!:thumbsup:

I know you asked RS === but I thought I might help you thinking thru a "cut out" like this.....

I'd make a template (paper) of what I thought I wanted...


I'd tape it on the area and stand back and live with it for awhile....


If I decided it's what I wanted -- and AFTER I'd thought thru all the things it would entail - such as "what's behind" -- "whats going to interfere" -- "what needs to be moved/relocated" etc....Then I'd proceed in taping securely after squaring up and making sure they were spot on for location - and being plumb etc on both sides...


Then I'd mark where I needed to use my Haugen Roto Broach - and what size I needed to make the 4 "corner radiuses"....

I would then proceed to tape a straight line to connect each of the 4 (now 4 round holes).... corners and use a cut off wheel to make that cut -- or perhaps a body saw... or maybe even make a larger "rough cut out" in the piece and then trim with a hand tin sip if I could get to the work (might need to use -- left - right - and straight snips).

Then I might clean up the edges with a good old fashioned hand file -- or a 3M disc on a couple different air tools....

In other words ----- to do work like this takes lots of planning ---- skills ---- and tools.... and there may be no two guys that would do it exactly the same way.


:D

plain and simple wow , any pics of the renderings of the future interior ?:bump:

Thanks Greg. That's kinda what I was assuming.

WOW!!! very nice A+A+A+ nice to see more 2nd gens

Thanks for all the props! :thumbsup:

Couple more additions, fabrication of the lower split spoiler wings:

And the making of the louvered intake pieces for the nose:

Looks great - how do you get inside those boxes to smooth down the louver welds ? Is the main weld done underneath so you can't see it (if so then why tack them on the top visible side ?)

Always eager to understand how the pros do it.

Any progress?? Maybe it's done and going to SEMA? ;-)

Was this at sema?

I love the Gen II cars. Sweet ride would love to see more of the build.

Nah, if it was; it would have won some awards, like all three trucks RS brought this year.
:D

Not really anything new yet on this one - we had a lot going on the last few weeks!
I'll post more once there are new pics!

this is inspiring....
or depressing...hard to decide
JK...I am inspired!:confused18:
