It's finally out my 69 Camaro!

[DOOM]

Tiny update from Troy .. The firewall and trans tunnel are next on the list. We're waiting for the transmission to come in so we can start fitting all the mounts. So everything is in a hold pattern untill it arrives..

Hey Mario, first thing is you gotta love the progress. Looks great! I need to ask, can you provide any details on how you made the ZR1 brakes fit? Did you need to update the hubs, etc. Thanks again - Ron

Ron ... DSE uses stock Corvette spindles. It was pretty much a bolt on for the front . I did change the bearings to a ZR-1 spec, from what I understand the ceramic rotors generate more heat than a conventional rotor.I also had to run 19's for clearance. Kore3 handled the back,again no problem.

Mario, thank much. I plan on running 19" RBC3s. Now I just need to come up with the $$$$ for the brakes...ouch!

Everone thinks its the calipers that are the main cost of this setup. Not the case the rotors are the killer $1700.00 list a piece!! Thank god for Mr Stielow!! These were going on Red Devil at one time. He set me up with a great deal ...

Small update... We have been in a holding pattern for about seven weeks now . American Powertrain is waiting for Tremec to send them cases???? Troy needs to have the trans to raise the tunnel and finish the firewall. Not a happpy camper right now! So I had Victor Fulton draw me up a new dash while we are on hold.What do you guys think..

Dash looks great! Victor Fulton does some really nice work.

You might check and see if suppliers like Summit and other big retailers have the trans instock since they are big stocking dealers. I would rather pay a few bucks and get it now if possible. Summit sells the Magnum T56.

I buy all my Magnum T56's transmissions from D&D.. Great guys to work with...
