The OneLapCamaro complete build thread

[James OLC]

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.
