Those Carbon Parts look great Mark, Looks like Anvil did their homework on them!:thumbsup:

I'm not usually a white person..but in Marks case..and how hard he is on a nice new paint job lol. I think its a pretty good idea. I really like something like this Camaro. With the carbon strip exposed up the middle, front the header,hood and wiper panel.

Just stop it !!!!

I see another paint job in your future.....

I think we'll paint it deep gloss black... and I'll drop it off to the VanNus's to fix one a month.....:willy:

Murray Pfaff is doing some renderings soon, so it will firm up in the next few months. I may do something other than white.

I worked on the mirrors today. I need to convert the remote adjuster to just a manual set up. The carbon "bullet" mirrors look cool in carbon.

How about garnet red with a matt black hood and header panel surrounded with a matt black pinstripe? And then add a set of satin black GA3R's. :unibrow:

Seen this on a new model Camaro at a local dealership and it looked sweet!!

That's cool, Paul. I thought of that scheme too. Iconic Z/28 rally stripes would expose all three panels as well.

It will be bitchin no matter what:thumbsup: Can't wait to see the rendering..

with all the weight loss stuff your putting on i am surprised you dont have a autorad on it. not sure what the weight differance would be but at least it would be off the front of the car.

Paul that is one of my favorite paint jobs - Flat White rocks

however flat black is cool

I know a guy that had a set of carbon fiber doors for a 69 laying around. SO light you could pick it up with one finger. Don't know if you could put windows in them though.

Hey Mark, save yourself some $$, smooth out the body and have the car wrapped in CF looking adhesive. A CF 69 Camaro might look cool....might. Problem might come if you are hauling butt and it comes off. Folks might think you went so fast you outran your paint job.

By the way, thanks for all the info. This has been as good a thread as I have read here. Course, I don't get out much.:D

Vinyl Car Wraps are not to be overlooked and might lend themselves well to Marks style of driving. The OneLap Camaro has done wraps hasn't it? Were there issues with adhesion there?

Doing a Carbon Fiber "look" base with graphics over could be a cool look on a '69, but it is an "import" trend:( .

Mark has never been shy about painting over CF parts before so I won't hold my breath about leaving them nekkid just to show off that he has CF on his car.

I would propose something in a nostalgic graphic/stripe theme... maybe a homage to Baldwin Motion or Yenko 427 Supercars is due since Mark is using the Thomson 427SC motors now? These cars are proving to win not just Supercar but "Ultimate Streetcar" status... :bow:
:D

I will echo all the comments of appreciation for the information flow from this level of build. Sincerely, Thanks to all of you making such vast contributions of knowledge.

What are you guys trying to do, put me out of buisness!?? Lol I agree somewhat with the wrap. Mark drives his cars like rentals. Which is cool. I really enjoy seeing a all around quality built car out flogging it out on the track.
A wrap would be a lot better than this flat black nonsense! Lol:willy:
Whatever will be cool I'm looking forward to seeing what Murry will design. I'm sure it will be awesome.

Or diversify your profit opportunities? :D

:hail: :hail: Could not have said that any better!

I think you should just rough it up with a grinder and Rhino Line it! :P

In all seriousness. I am really looking forward to seeing this project unfold.

Careful what you wish for with an Engineer. That suggestion made me think of the aerodynamic advantages dimples bring to a golf ball... or the rough surface shark suits that broke records in Olympic swimming or coatings used in Americas' Cup.

I'm not even an engineer I just interact with them from time to time.;)

How good are the Dutch boys at "intentional denting to improve wind drag coefficient" techniques?:lol:

Actually, a pearl white might be a better option. Mark could still have stripes as well, but in Carbon Fiber. Well, here is a link of Lamborghini in Pearl White and carbon fiber interior.

Going to chip regardless of the color.

Jeff

Great Thread:lateral:

Ha !!! I want to see Mark put Pearl on a car. Nothing looks better than a beat up Pearl paint job.

Just use a paint protection kit, like Xpel. No one notice it.

The "frozen" colors that are coming out look pretty cool. Mostly just a flat clear... Just sayin' my .02

Paint it the Tri-Stage Corvette Burgandy...........LOL

I'm so confused.....

oh god no. his cars are driven and get chips and swirls. and it's too trendy. Mark sets trends, he doesn't follow them! Might was well go with the color shifting crud they seem to paint every 4th fox body with.

Forget all the color talk, let's see more build pictures.

Me too.. maybe there should be another thread on "debate Mark's color choice" ;)

I'm knida curious how you are going to attach the grill to that lower valance
Ideas ?? I am interested in the CF because of the bumper and spoiler?

Why don't we start a pool.We will all chip in $5 bucks and who ever gets the color right wins the pool.Then the winner donate's the money St.jude's.:thumbsup:

I hear that I was more than anything, just throwing it into the mix. I didn't want to get left out of the opinion section... LOL:lol: That color shift was cool for about a min. until everybody had to do it:faint:


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That is a good idea. I think there would be alot of people on board! would it be a "pay-pal" type of deal?

There are no provisions to attach the lower valance to a stock grill. On my car I'm making up brackets to connect the lower grill to the rad support structure.

Looks fantastic. Very nice as usual Mark. :thumbsup:

Mark,

Just wondering if you could expand on what new tires are coming out this year...I am almost ready for tires, and would like something new other than the typical BFG's and such.

Matt

Ron
so does the bottom edge of the grill fit behind the bumper??
could you panel bond an L bracket on the back side??

Thanks Rod

Hey Rod, The anvil valance integrates the bumper and valance all in one part, so the grill fits behind it fine. The grill must actually be installed before the lower valance. You could bond brackets directly to the valance to attach to the grill. It might be difficult bolting them together since you would have to do this from under the car behind the grill. Ron

Just guessing here, but there are new tires for the Gen V Viper out (355 rears!) and the new Corvette will probably have new gen tires as well.

A couple updates:

I reworked the Anvil Mirrors so I can mount them on the car this week. I used the mechanism out of some old 2nd Gen Fcar mirrors. I had to rework the driver’s side to get rid of the remote adjustment. The Anvil parts have no way to mount the so I made aluminum inserts to mount them.

Matt replaces the wrinkled quarter panel with an OE gauge sheet metal. We cut the gills out of a stock quarter to get a crisper stamping. When Matt is done you won't be able to tell we replaced it.

OK now you can get back to debating the color.....

Mark

Green! Because everyone will be envious of the car. :D

Mark,

Did you glue the mirrors to these aluminum brackets, or are they attached with hardware?

Compared to the size of the screws that held those things on originally, I don't think you have to worry about those flying off any time soon... :cheers:

Thanx!

Bryan -

Engineers don't "glue" things ---- they BOND stuff together.


:lol: :lol:

Ha! True dat... Guess that's why I'm an EE and not an ME or CE. :)

It really does look like 'glue' in that picture I quoted though. ;)
