just starting project.Has to be done for jan 6 world of wheels
 

Well it is aready sand blasted.But i still have to pre assemble mini tub, ladder bar,coil over,wire f i ,assemble engine, detail ,do some metal work to make it alittle diff ,bodywork, paint complete car inside and out top to bottom,interior,
and have it ready to show on the 5th :eek:

What kind f car?

68 camaro convert

hmmmmmmm, better get a good nights sleep....prolly the last one you will have till jan 6th

There will be some long hours coming up

ladder bar? Is this a pro-street car? Just seems that if it's intended to be a nice driver you wouldn't go that route as the leafs would actually be better. Perhaps a 3 or 4-bar is in order?

Good luck with the project and I hope you share lots of pics!! :thumbsup:

Wow, that is an aggressive schedule. Will you be working on it full-time during the week? any helpers? Keep us updated with lots o' photos!

I'll be on that car from now till the the last min before the show.I have 4-5 other cars to get ready also but those are alot closer then this 1.This car is just going to ripping around the streets no track so i was using the ladder bar set up.The customer doesn't want leaf springs,I'd love to use (mean 69) 3 link system but I would never make jan 6.It is just me and 1 helper working in my shop.

I'll post pics soon

Have one thing to say....Better you than me!!!! Would not even attepmt a schedule quite like that. How do you have time to be on the computer?? Get to work!! :D Good luck!!

At home getting the part list together to order what were missing.With out the parts we'll never make it.

Have you already installed the rear suspension? If not, I would strongly suggest using a 4-bar w/ panhard bar over those ladder bars...especially for a street car...the ladder bars are for straight line use...but I'm sure you already knew that. ;)

Good luck with the build, I hope it more less falls together and you easily make the date!! Oh and remember to check in on the family from time to time with the holidays and all!! Get some sleep and hit it hard in the morning...the show is just around the bend!!! :thumbsup:

krusty i said pics soon Ill post picks tomorrow

This guy will never push this car so were going with ladders to make it a little easyer.This car will only be pulling some holeshots on the street. we have cars with 4 bars and ladder bars and inless you are going to spend time playing back there I thought this would be a little easyer on him. But keep the comments coming I love the ideas U can never stop learning


awr68 thanks for the luck :willy:

I see. Cant wait to see some build pics! :yes:

So far the front frames welds are all ground smooth. Front fenders done, and in primer, trunk lid in primer, header panel, and lower valence in primer. Next step is to pre-assemble engine, to fit all parts, then dissassemble, and paint engine.

have you decided what color the car is going yet? Did you paint the orange car yourself?

Thanks Man
what kind of front clip is that?

As of right now the cars is going to be teal with some type of 2 tone with a little darker shade.

yes i did all the paint work on the orange 1. Flames 2

Front is a Chris alston. Rear is going 2 be ladder bar sometime next week we'll be doing the rear. This car will have coil overs on all 4 no air ride

I got cold shivers seeing your build up pix in primer. Looks exactly like mine minus the deadline. Good luck on the build.

Cool Pics,

Looks like thats Paul Salani's Mustang in the background in those pictures.

Good luck with your new project and trying to hit the Jan 6 deadline.

How did u know that u must know paul and new his car was there. No way did u pick that 1

If u do know him then u know I did his roll bar thursday night. He pick his car up on sat and he seen the 68 convert. Just alittle more proof of how far apart this car really is

I could tell it was Paul's car by the CE Racing winshield banner.
I used to work with Paul, I worked with him for over 12 years. Lalso spent some time helping him tune that car, I used to work at New England Dyno and Tuning. I just recently relocated to Oregon, I now work for Bushwacker designing fender flares and other automotive products.

I sent Paul those pics with his car in the background in an e-mail, with the subject line, I'm watching you !!

I was thinking no way did he guess that from just the banner when u first said it was Pauls I thought u new it was coming down for some work anyway good guess looking at the pics the banner was the only thing that could give it away
