Ironworks Project Donkey Kong Transformation

Very nice.
Not so DONK any more! I'm digging that color too.

Well We have been hard at it trying to get all the loose ends set up for SEMA.

We took the car to Pleasanton to show off our bracket and this is what it looks like in the sun.


The underhood is looking pretty nice. We relocated the coils to fit behind the cylinder head in the gap between the firewall and the engine. It's tight but it fits and keep the plug wires fairly short.





The wiring is about wrapped up. We are waiting a few remaining backordered parts. But it should be running next week. Wilwood is putting a custom powder coat on the calipers for us. We plan to paint the valve covers, Ac compressor, alternator and gauge cluster body color. We plan to paint the throttle body and trunk lock cylinder flat black to match the factory handles that will be coated black.

Well Guys this car is really turing out nice. I love how the inner fender look under the hood. Nice touch

You know how easy it is for a build to get out of control. This car is proof that you don't have to go over the top on the build to get a really cool car.

Car looks great Roger. It's simplicity is what makes it so clean! Plus I'm kinda partial to the color...

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Good point Marty, Looks great Rodger

Sure you can build an over the top car, to get noticed. But sometimes a well planned build that the money is spent evenly through the build so one thing does not over shadow the rest is a solid build plan. Nic and I picked a Black powder coat we liked and just coated everything that exact same shade of black. We even recoated some other black parts to be that same black. There is nothing fancy. It's just clean. The wiring is just clean and simple. The plan for the interior will be nice but just plan and simple.

Well My Guys have been hard at it this week. Donkey Kong is ready to go for interior at Ron Mangus this week. The car is really turning out pretty nice. We have a few things to get back from Palmer's custom that he is painting this weekend, Valve covers, Gauge cluster, outside mirrors and a few other small parts.

SEMA here we come. I want to Thank Nic for letting us build him a really nice camaro. I think it might be nicer then he expected.








This is the inspiration for the interior on the car
