Musclerodz introduces project "N-XSS"
 
Musclerodz is proud to make project "N-XSS" public. We have had this project unders wraps for several months while the wish list of parts was finalized and the engine built. As you might of guess by the name, this 67 Camaro is being built "in excess" of everything.

With out giving away too much here is a quick list of parts as follows:

Speedtech front sub
Alston Air Link rear
Accu-air management system
magna-charged LS3
6 speed manual
Marquez interior
host of Marquez and Fesler billet parts
ISIS wiring
Autorad radiator and core support
Boze wheels
and many other goodies I have forgot....

I will update this thread with more info in the next few days, but for now we will start with the rendering my customer had done as a teaser.

Musclerodz is building my car
 
I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself - long time viewer and admirer of the cars on here. I am fortunate to have Mike working on my car - he is a very patient man - I have thrown dozens of questions at him every day for a long time and he still hasn't gotten rid of me.:lol: He is extremely knowledgeable and has a passion and precision for his craft. I know I am in good hands.

I look forward to all ideas, criticism, and sarcasm from anybody. Reading and seeing pics has made me spend more than I ever thought possible. :lateral:

And now for the heart of this project. First ever Wegner built Magnacharged LS3. Waiting for specs from Wener, but it is a 418 ci stoker with a TVS2300 pumping 15 lbs boost. Front drive system is one off including the new CNC inlet for the maggy to accept a 102 mm TB. Engine made 914 hp and 870 lb/tq. A rep from Magnuson was there, and to their knowledge this is the most anything has gotten out of a small cube LS3 with the TVS2300. Here is a link to the dyno run. Turn up your speakers!

Very Nice! Some killer power with that engine.
Looking forward to see how far along it has progressed.

redzed 07-21-2010 11:41 AM

Very cool Mike :thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

Josh69 07-21-2010 11:42 AM

What color is that called?

There was an early GTO at Car Craft this weekend in St. Paul with a color similar to that...my God it was a thing of beauty. May be color used on some late model GTO's...for sure the concept.

Musclerodz 07-21-2010 12:00 PM

Rendering color is a little dark. It will be more of a yellow/gold base with orange pearl.

Ron Fox 07-21-2010 12:11 PM

Killer Ride. I like the Boze wheels. And the HP and TQ aren't bad either.:unibrow: Can't wait for more pics

waynieZ 07-21-2010 12:48 PM

Wow awesome engine and prooject, I love the name too. When I watched the video I had to take a nitro pill I got so excited. lol Thats going to be a sweet ride. I'll be watching this one go together for sure.

I plan to update sometime next week. Speedtech sub is in the car and planning to mock the engine /tranny in the car this weekend.

Flash68 09-14-2010 11:52 PM

Musclerodz 09-14-2010 11:56 PM

I will post an update in the next couple days. I was waiting on a few parts from Speedtech to finish mockup on the engine and front suspension.

You guys are on the right track thats for sure, I really like the rendering.

Musclerodz 09-26-2010 10:14 AM

Sorry for delay on updates, trying to finish a 70 Firebird for GG Dallas that leaves Thursday. Updates will commence here soon!

This is the first of several updates coming. In order to get this car low, we decided major cutting will be required. Without revealing to much too soon, the entire floor of the car has been removed. I wanted nothing below the pinch welds of the rockers, so starting with the newly aquired speedtech subframe, I cut the rear rails in half. Don't worry, there will be plenty reinforcing of the chassis to handle the reduced loss of strength.



With the rail cut in half, it also required lowering the front body mount and core support mount equal distance. With modifications completed, and front subframe mounts bolted directly to the car, the sub now sat level with the pinch welds of the rockers, and the front floor pans are only 1/2" higher than stock.

Now that is bad ass. The detail is unreal.

killer67 10-13-2010 02:20 AM

Mascoll Designs knows what they are doing and are very patient after getting through with me as a customer. Very happy with how it turned out :yes: What do you think guys?

MarkM66 10-13-2010 05:00 AM

Looks nice, I like the bumper treatment.

I hope you can modify them, and keep them chrome. Everyone seems to takes the easy way out and paint their cut bumpers.

Ron in SoCal 10-13-2010 10:01 AM

Fernando - she's a beauty! Very slick....tell me, are you using a 4" cowl? The rendering looks taller than a 2, less than 4. Then again, my eyesight aint what it used to be...

It will have somewhere around a 3" cowl when done. 4" is ugly
