Anticorrosive? At least the price was right... You do have some killer bits and peices laying around... I still wish I could have made use of some of them.

I would have liked to have made it up but the I was in just the wrong neighborhood. As it was, I wound up at Best of Show with Mark M. which was a treat in itself. Next time I will definately stop in, your projects are absolutely second to none.

Looking awesome! Can't wait to see it!! :thumbsup:

Looking forward to start up!!! It's so off the hook, can't wait hurry up!

Should be this week my friend - barring any unforeseen problems. I'm taking the better part of the seek off to work on wiring, assembly, and to get it running. If you can drag yourself away from the store for a while you should come out. Give me a call if you have time.

Is that an Anvil hood?

Who did the painting on it? My shop may have questions...

Our cars a lot alike... except your's is way nicer. lol

Yes it is an Anvil hood, but it's a very early version - I got it about this time last year. They may have made some changes since then.

Chris did the hood as well as the rest of the car. You've got my number, feel free to have Dick call me any time. He might not like what I have to tell him but I am sure that he is up to the task.

Hopefully we get a chance to see them side by side some time.

I'll see you this week for sure! Thanks.

This car is incredible - I can't wait to see it complete.

Ok... so it wasn't "one more" coat of clear... it was four more coats. Coupled with the previous six coats of clear that Chris laid down earlier there are a total of ten coat on the natural carbon fiber underside of the hood. The four today are have a semigloss finish similar to all of the grey used on the rest of the car. The first six coats were needed to clean up some irregulaties in the cowl assembly.

Edit - pics deleted

We'll finish up some details underneath tonight and then set the hood aside until it goes on in a couple of weeks.

Edit - forget what I said about the hood. It's not working out and we're going to have to start from scratch with an NOS hood... darn

We also made some great headway on the wiring... we built the rear wiring harness and spotted the ISIS power fuses and rear Powercell...

Tomorrow we'll be working toward locating the Powercell for the front harness and the Mastercell which provides the control for the two Powercells. I hope to have an update on the webpage documenting the install up in a couple of days. The more I explore the potential of the ISIS System the more impressed I am with it's capabilities. We'll also be programming the Push Button Start "personality" once we have everything together.

One word: "Stunning"

James,

What an amazing car. Great updates.

Its been a busy week and we have made some great headway on the assembly. We are just about done the wiring using the ISIS system - the front and rear Powercell boxes are in place and the wiring for all of the external systems is in place:

You can see the step-by-step installation on the OneLapCamaro website here - ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System Installation.

In addition to the wiring we have been making great progress in and out of the car. The new dash has arrived - we fitted it yesterday and finalized the installation today. Tomorrow we'll work at getting the Vintage Air vents and controls mounted and as soon as the Racepak dash arrives we'll get the instrument cluster together.

A couple of random pictures from the last couple of days:

Our rear tow hook is in place...

and we are getting closer to pulling the trigger...

Looking awesome!
I could have used a tow hook last week!!

.... (comedian) :rofl: .........

Funny thing is we have already used both front and rear hooks... you never know how handy they are until you want to use them. Although the first time is a little stressful...

How long till the electrical system is live? I would love to know your opinion on the system once it's running. I have been looking at it for a while but I'm a little eeeery about facing the gremlins, if any. very interesting system.

James what material was used in the trunk I really like the way its form fit:wow:
Thanx Mario

It should be powered up tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. The real world caught up with me a bit this week and I wasn't able to put in the time that I wanted on the wiring but change tomorrow.

One of the many things that I like about the ISIS System is that, if anything, the gremlins will be easier to deal with given the systems smart diagnositic capabilities. One of the other things that I like is that the switching side into the Mastercell is via grounds and not hot wires. Saves some wear and tear on switches and eliminates a bunch of hot wires under the dash.

I'll keep you posted when we start running power to some of the loads.

It's been a long couple of weeks and we have been making lots of progress but at this point there are some things that will have to wait.

What I can share is some of the good and bad that we have been dealing with as we try to get everything together...

The ISIS System has been powered up and, I have to tell you, is very impressive. The rear Powercell is complete and fully functional -

and is being controlled by the front mounted Mastercell control box. The diagnostic ablilities are awesome and make the system very easy to deal with. We fabricated a hinged mount for the Mastercell beneath the dash to give us easy access; I'm getting too old to contort myself like a pretzel to get under the dash -

Which we have been laying out -

pics? - nope

Despite all of the complexities that I had heard about Racepak dashes in the past, the new IQ3 seems to have solved many of the complications. Despite having some difficulties at first, once we had all of the pieces that we needed it was very straight forward.

On the down side, we had to start working on a new hood. I stole the NOS hood off my wifes '67 (if I don't start working on it soon there won't be a lot left of it) and Chris started stripping it.

Unfortunately, our carbon hood had a couple of problems that we just could not overcome. Fortunately, the steel hood is almost perfect -

http://www.onelapcamaro.com/OLC_pics...20hood%204.JPG

It should be in paint by the end of the week.

We are doing a final test fit of the grill and headlights -

The Penske shocks should be back by mid week and we should have it running before the end of the week.

With a little help from our friends....

Killer shot of the front :thumbsup:

What was wrong with the carbon hood that couldn't be fixed??

I'm a little slow getting to stuff on here but just stumbled across this today. I would have to say this is My new absolute favorite car. This thing encompasses almost every idea I've had for My car over the last five years it has been apart and I couldn't afford to do. The attention to detail is just jaw dropping.

For what it's worth You should love the Toyo R888's. I've been running those this season on My STi for autocross. Very sticky, very consistent and quite durable. I've run a dozen events this year (won My regional Street Mod championship) and the tires are only 25% worn. The closest thing I can compare them to are the kuhmo V700 Victoracers only even more consistent. Great tires.

Once again though.............absolutly awesome car. :hail: :hail:

This is probably the coolest car I have ever seen. Nothing but 100% pure business. Awesome work guys.

So far one of the ever buildt!!

James what headers are you using?
