Holy crap, forgot about that. Those k-rails are scary! :confused59:

Thanks Gaetano! If I puss out and don't bring my car, I'll show up so y'all can give me a ration of sh*t. :lol:

Who are you kidding Marty? I've seen you lurking in other threads :D

Thanks Todd. Hope to see you this summer Bro :cheers:

So that's a funny story. I bucked the trend and ordered longer shocks than what RT thought they should be and what others with the same year/subfr are running. 4.1" of travel with a 10" spring and a 1.67 motion ratio. Originally the car sat high. Sort of like 4x4 high and I'm saying to myself "I f'd up again!" I was ready to and had designed an upper shock relo mount, as my LCA was pointing downhill a couple of degrees. Matt kept telling me to just wait and get the car loaded. I'm also aware good springs don't settle much. But the Hyprecos did. The car is at 23.5" at the center of the wheel to the bottom of the front fender. Same as some guys running the .5" shorter shock. I'm hoping I get plenty of travel...

Hard time is what we do, lol. Build the car to your vision and don't look back. Your car will be off the hook! Thx for the compliment Casey :cheers:

Hey DJ it's an LS7 the passenger side tank is an oil breather.

Get busy Chief. As G-Dub says, these cars don't build themselves! You're doing a great job ... :cheers:

IF you do it "Ron's Way" --- you can start out a build and have unborn children and be finished in time for them to graduate college....








RE: K Walls

Yes they are! Which is why people need to LEARN to inhale -- and drive within their limits... everyones limits are different. Don't do it the "Weld Way" -- which WAS (key word there) "visor down - race on!" and go to school the hard way.

I have learned about cold tires - cold track - cold brain.... I have learned NOT to take a point-by just because it's given.... I have learned about NOT trying to catch the guy that's half a lap ahead of me - within the next two turns.... I have learned it's MORE FUN to drive within my personal comfort zone - regardless of how many faster cars are on the track.


RE: Sh!t dishing


This is dished out in copious amounts regardless of, with or without car... slow or fast.... newb or expert.... race... religion... height... shoe color... well, you get the point.

Not reccomended unless you plan your inheritance carefully :confused18:


CO-signed, except for the Do-do part :D

Looks great Ron! Go now and pick that car up :gitrdun:

Looking good Ron.
Love the stance and those wheels.

Ron I just got to see the update picture looking Sweet!

:trophy-1302:

Ron, your springs haven't settled (yet). Your car just got fatter while it was away. :lol:

The flat spots on the tires make it look lower... Ron we going to see you at Fontana?

-Evan

Ron, Effin A. Major congrats from up here. Can't wait to see her and HEAR her. I'm scared of the k rail at Sonoma too, but we may have to show some restraint just because......

Ron ... you bringing the Hot Rod to Sonoma ?

Haha thanks Jay. Looks like end of this coming week :woot:

Thanks fellas! :cheers:

Somebody get me a tissue :)

Yep, getting fatter by the day. Oh wait, the car, lol. I may stop by Rob's on the way home and corner weight it. Knowing me, that'll take oh about four hours :D

Ev not sure about Fontana. I need to do some prep yet I'd like to sort it out once at least once before Fontana.

Sonoma...so I have to be in Monterey for work July 24 - 27th and then comitted to the Concourse and Historics the 13 - 17th. Sandwiched in there is Sonoma. Maybe I'll just move up North for the whole month...:D

Seriously, I'm considering towing the car up on the 24th, storing it and flying home. Then just fly up the next weekend and tow home after.

I'll be in touch Big Ron :cheers:

Looks like you've got it all figured out there Mr. Ronferd. :thumbsup:

^ Between the Indy 500 and your post Skip, my day is complete :D

:cheers:

You gotta make it Ron. Going to be a good time!! :thumbsup:

Working on it right now GC. :cheers:

:thumbsup:

Our man Ron has mastered the art of appearing to be real busy.

:tiptoe:




...I have not. :shakehead:

Car looks killer Ron!!! Well done.

Being that its Tuesday, is it time to remove "...in progress" from your signature? :peepwall:

I didn't know there was ever an appropriate time to remove the "in progress" line from any of the cars around here. :peepwall:

Ron....
 

Better hurry Ron....I'm catching up with yah. I was able to turn on my fuel pump this weekend....via the PCM even. No jumpers! Fuel then proceeded to leak profusely from the push-in connector on my Corvette fuel regulator but that's besides the point.... :hitaxeonthehead:

I really do love the look of your car man and it's turning out great!



Mines' not as nice as yours but mines WAYYYYY cheaper! :G-Dub: :mock:

I was thinking back when this build started --- I don't even think I was married then....


We just celebrated our 35th.

You guys are killing me. Comedy at it's finest.

Ron it looks killer!! Now drive the hell out of it!! Love it!:trophy-1302:

Unbelievable Skip...I tested that out yesterday and it works!

Of course my family wasn't buying it :lol:

Thanks Chris and Mario! I hope to do some real break in this weekend :cheers:

Yes Marcus, real comedy and I'm glad to have it. :thumbsup:

I've had more than a few people ask me if I get tired of it. Hell no, I tell 'em it's all in good fun. Plus somehow I seem to provide alot of material :D

OBWK, yep you get yer own response. You know, back woods Wisconsinites need it simplified :lol: (joking)

Congrats on your PCM success! I had intergation issues galore and it took a long time. The master fuel guy is Hollywood Cassanova. He was money even when it came to the little things like fittings.

:cheers: Brother. Keep on truckin!

:drive: :relax:

Thanks Ron, I got my fuel plumbing fixed up last night......SEE!



Where's my burnout video Ron? If I post one before you I win!

Technically, I could have probably done it last night if I had felt I actually had to worry about you beating me to it. :D :headspin:

OBWK -



:lol:

Coming to your house first Dawgy :cheers:

Come on where's the pictures??? I saw on FB you picked it up today??

By the way GO HAWKS!!!!!!:popcorn2:

Either he still out roasting the tires off, or he got caught, car impounded, and he's behind bars. :lol:
