L88? :stirthepot: Glad to see you pushing through!... whats your target debut? Asking because I am trying to put pressure on myself by committing to an event and would love to meet up with you guys..

A cage that was less than user friendly with more than a few questionable welds...time to start over. I am doing this for fun on the track and not to get hurt if something goes wrong. With 2 kids and a wife, safety is the biggest focus of this build.

This thing is bad. It is really cool to see a Camaro done like a modern continental series race car. Can't wait to see it finished.

Please tell me you are scrapping the TA for a traditional decoup 3 link too.

Surprised you are keeping the cowl.

Sorry to hear all the issues you had to go through on the car Payton, Looks like you are in good hands now.

Looking forward to seeing the end result with the Nascar theme that you are going with on the car. Looks like its going to be a really cool! :thumbsup: Ill be checking back for updates.

Nice progress! You're gonna like that G-Force transmission!

Payton King 12-01-2014 12:39 PM

Thanks for all of the kind words. Will try and post more pics tomorrow.

Yes to the decoupled 3 link and yes to getting rid of the cowl.

Time to get the motor plate all sorted out. Good news, bad news. Bad news is the Hendrick motor plate I was going to use will not work. Just not enough room for the rack and the oil pump on the same side.

Good news is Jim can build another one and put the pump where it needs to go.
