Wanted a race pak,BUT about $450.00 bucks past my budget.Plus I still kinda like the Autometer Ultralite's face's.:thumbsup:Maybe the next project will get a racepak.

Scott, I would like to talk with you about making a duplicate dash insert and lower dash. Just the metal, no gauges, vents or switch gear. But with all of the openings cut and dimples formed.
Im in no rush, I know you have your hands full.
Maybe a few other items as well?

Eric,As soon I get a quick chance I will make some drawing's and will be ready to fab up the part's as soon as you are ready.:thumbsup: Scott

I'm on it Scott!

Whats the latest on the camaro? That is one killer car you built.
Lots of ideas floating around in my head for my project.
And, lots of other stuff I would like to talk to you about fabricating for me.:cheers:

coolwelder62 06-25-2011 12:04 PM

My good friend Ken Verncyk is here at the house right now working on the wiring.I have been running wires though out the chassis all week.Really not much to look at right now. But as thing's progress I will have RadRambler Tom post up some king size photo's.:thumbsup:

coolwelder62 06-29-2011 10:21 AM

The wiring is about finished under the dash,all that left is out at the head light's.Hopefully will be trying to start the motor this next weekend.Will have Tom post up some photo's.:thumbsup:

ma73z 06-29-2011 11:00 AM

Have him post lots of photos :D can't wait to see it

ma73z 07-15-2011 07:53 PM

Hey Scott any updates for us?

coolwelder62 07-16-2011 06:47 PM

Well I got drug out to the Heidt's muscle car thing this week end so it will be next week before I can get back on the orange trud.Kevin may have broke his clutch or motor so it will be awhile before I have too leave home so I should have some time to finish it.:lol: I have some photo's of the dash installed,but after seeing the Roadster shops new nova I dont know why anyone would to look at my stuff.It's pretty plain.:_paranoid

ma73z 07-16-2011 07:39 PM

Sucks to hear about Kevin's car but you guys will get it fixed and it'll be better than ever. I know I'm not the only one who'd like to see more pics of whatever you've done lately and I personally am a fan of your dash. :cheers: Matt

Us simpletons can't aspire to the likes of RS. We need something that is achievable to keep the fire burning. Builds like DSE, RS, JCG just make me shut my lap top up with my tail between my legs. ;)

Todd, it's really is hard to belive that the mass'es would rather look at what I have done vers's the R-S,DSE,RingBros,JCG.I really like lookin at everything being built.I try and check every build going on.I see good thing's going on W/almost every build here on later-g and P-T.com.Some car's being built are just be on me how they do it.I don't close my lap top, it just give me a head ache.:lol: :thumbsup:

I myself like real world builds, There the cars that keep the hobby/business going forward. I have just as much fun working on those type of cars as we do on the high end builds. I think your car is looking great.

It's a stock 400hp LS2.I wish I could aford more.But I still have 2 kids at home and one starting college so I need to stay on a budget.:thumbsup:

Rick D 07-19-2011 04:59 AM

Hay thats not bad, sure we all want Marks 800 Hp motor but like you said budget. Thats the best way to build a car unless you have unlimited funds, then I'm going over RS and have them build me a car :unibrow: Oh and please keep the pictures coming, i for one love to look at what you are doing. Sure I like to look at what the Pro top shops are doing I look at JGC, RS, DSE all the time to find different ways help my car look better. But I really like to see the home built cars or at least the ones built by the guys that do it because they love to build cars not just make money. Not saying that the pro builders do not love what they do, they have to too turn out the cars that are coming out of these shops today, but they also still have to make money. So please keep the pictures coming:thumbsup:

Rick,I do it for the money.I don't want to sell my project's unless I get a little something for my labor.I have all ready had 2 offer's for this car for around what I have invested in it.But I can't sell it for that.I think my labor is worth a little bit.So yes I love the build,I set up at nigth thinking about what to do next.By trying to make a little money at the end also helps me build the next one a little nicer.I am thrilled some of you folk's like what I am doing.Thay car really look'sbetter in real life than it does in the photo's I am sending to Mr. Tom to post.The lighting in my shop is not that great and can't take good photo to save my A==.Going to start installing the sheet metal this week end so maybe it will atart looking a little better.:thumbsup:

Cris@JCG 07-19-2011 06:44 AM

Car is looking good Scott! Looking forward to seeing you completed.:thumbsup:

Car's looking good and nothing wrong with an LS2 Scott! L92/LS3 heads a cam and a tune and you're well north of 500hp...:thumbsup:

No,I will let the next owner upgrade the horsepower.I will just finish the car and tune the chassis.That way if someone just's want's a great driving camaro it's already to go.But if they want something to go out and run w/the fast group all they have to do is the motor work you discribed and they are in the ballpark.:thumbsup:

That's the better way to do it if the plan is to be willing to part with the car eventually. Sort it out and prove it's reliable and built right. The last thing you need is some jack wagon complaining because you put a lumpier cam in there than they are happy with.

Keep up the good work Scott.
