This car is on a different level when compared to the yellow car. Looks killer!

This one is way more race car and a lot less street car.

Coming along very nicely Payton.

Somehow Payton I just think "WE" are way ahead of the rest of the pack... They're still stuck in PTLand... and we realized early what we really want is just a dang race car!

LOL

I figured your ride would end up looking something like this.

I do not know where you find that stuff

But I like it!

Yea GW, I knew I needed something safer and a lot less shinny the first time I got out on the big track. I also got tired of putting up velvet ropes every time I parked it at the store. LOL

Time to get the rear built

Caliper is upside down! :mock:

Car is looking good Payton.. Looking forward to seeing it complete & you tearing it up on the track.. Nice to have a track car.. I currently have one & having a blast with it.. Has cone rash & could car less!

Chris I am ready to be driving as well

been almost 2 years since I had my yellow one out.

Here are some pics of the front A arms that Jake built. They are 1 inch longer than a stock C6

Time to put all of these pieces together

And get the tires mounted up

The car is lower and wider than stock

Fronts bolted on

Looking good. What is the plan for door bars?

I left them out for ease of working on it

I have an X bar for the passenger side and NASCAR style on the driver's side.

:bow:

Wow. Drool. :cheers:

wow is right! - Man I would love to ride in this thing. So wicked looking.

Looks grippy. :) You guys are moving right along on this. Great project. Fun to follow along on this thread and I like the theme of it. Your yellow street car is one of my favorites of all time. Look forward to seeing how this track beast turns out. :thumbsup:

When I first saw

The picture of both fronts mounted up I was pretty happy. They look huge in the photos.

I miss the yellow car and have missed having something to drive.

I've seen stock cars with less tire....

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Pure awesomeness right there Payton!! OMG!

After seeing this shot I can't wait to see what flare design you come up with!

Fronts need a little more camber :thumbsup: :peepwall: :D

Plus it looks like you still have room for the a/c...which is nice.

:D

Payton sets the rules... he doesn't follow them. :bigun2:

Well I am finally back after a long road trip

Stayed with Ron Schwarz Sunday night and his family could not have been nicer. They cooked me dinner and we sat around and told stories out by the pool. Thanks again Ron for helping me out! Got up and left about 10 til 6 monday and met Jake. Ron rode shotgun and laughed at me cussing the traffic. All of you that live in and around NYC...what are you thinking? LOL

Met Jake in Ct picked up the car and headed back to Ron's. Only 14 hours in the car that day. Ron was ready to start building flairs but from the drive and what time it was, that will have to be another time. Left yesterday at 6 and was unloading my car at 3 that afternoon at the house.

If you are looking for pictures my tired, worn out ass did not take any. Will get some in the next day or so.

Cannot say enough on the job Jake did on the car. Looks way better in person and the car is very, very low.

Scott, If I put carpet and roll up windows in it can I still play?

Wow, I'll bet the B.S. was flyin' at Ron's:D

We're all waiting for pics Payton!
You gonna be a RTTH this weekend? Thought Ron said he was going.

I will not be there

Wife is playing tennis at state championship and I have the kids and 3 soccer games. Hopefully will be there next year

It was totally my pleasure, I have to say the pictures don't do the car justice, it looks so mean and nasty you can't help but want one. I sooo wanted to get a pic of it and my Mustang, just didn't have the time. Ron

Glad to hear the trip went well. I can't wait to see some pictures.

A few more pictures

You have to have a fuel cell

if you are going this far. Jake "wedged the frame so the cell will be flat with good mounting spot
