Well Kendall my scarp guy gives me 600 bucks every other month for a big old dumpster of scarp metal. If you can beat that, the scrap metal is all yours.
You can ask anybody who knows me, I never ever stop thinking about design ideas and ways to run my business. I cannot fall asleep until Im just totally worn out at night. And now that we are working our summer schedule of 5am til quiting time I don't get out of here till 6:30 - 7pm just like winter time. Long days I suppose, But I could not imagine putting in this effort into something I did not "EAT, SLEEP, & BREATHE". We come in early due to the heat.
Yeah those are some loooong days! Your bride must be pretty understanding! Good to hear all is well down there!! I think you and your team have a great attitude!
Looking forward to watching the progress on this build .I can never get enough of watching what all you guys on this forum do on a daily basis..Truly amazing stuff

IT would cost me that must to get the scrap to Texas: You are from the south you should ibe Heat harden are have you be on the west coast to long.I know you are just take it easy on your guys ( that the ticket!)Like I said GOOD JOB.
I decided I wanted something a little different so after discussing this with Rodney the owner of RPM TRANSMISSIONS in Daleville, Indiana we decided to build a set up equivalent to the ZR1 with a couple of extras.
Tremec TR6060- ZR1 specified with RPM Stage V set up.
Full micropolish of all internal components, Cryogenically treated internals, modified 1 & 2 shift forks, bronze fork pads, extreme duty pump modification to improve cooling and fluid flow.
Differential- 3.42 Quaife equipped RPM Stage 3, full micropolish of gear set, hardened 300M left shaft modified to fit Quaife, hardened 300M 2piece right shaft, internal lube system modifications
Well It is not as glorified as you might think but it seems to work pretty well. I guess. I scratch the top of my head, then the right side of my belly button and then scratch my head again.
But I'm currently build 3 cars for 3 different mechanical engineers and I usually ask them what they think and do they see any weak points. The weak points get bigger diameter or thicker material. I guess just common sense and smart friends. Alot of my customers become involved in all the build in my shop in some way or another. A good majority of my customer eat sleep and breathe the build more then the actual end result just like me.
I'm actually looking at trying to higher a full time suspension designer with an engineering degree. He will be doing all the suspension design work with me after Columbus on this project. I just need to figure out how to swing that money.
No it doesnt
The thing is how do you know it works well, and if your improving on each set up you do? You know what im saying
Making it better each time round.
Hey Rodger can you promise us one thing When TLC or some other show sees what you can do and offers you $$$ you don't turn into a freakshow like the rest.
Seriously though I am going to go out on a limb ands say a Ridler is in the cards for you and your team someday
