      My good friend Aaron Oberle is struggling with some health issues right now. Please keep him in your prayers. He is a great guy & we need him here for quite a while longer. I decided to post some of his build for him & he can take it over when he's feeling better.

      Aaron has been running this Chevelle for quite a while. We became friends back in 2014 so I think this photo was back in 2014 or so. I added the lines so we could see how much roll angle he had back then.

      He has built it to this now, with 315's on all corners, a lower stance, more power & a mean handling package.

      We at Ron Sutton Race Technology started by building him a semi-custom (as they all are) AXT Front clip & Suspension.
      * AXT stands for Autocross & Track. These AXT front frame & suspension packages are superior to our (and other) TA2 designs, but not as high travel as our TA front clips.

      Greg decided he wanted something faster & meaner than his 65 Mustang Fast Back he was tracking & told me to build him one of our GT Track Warrior cars "turn key." We made his 65 is crazy fast for only having 245 tires all around and Zero Aero downforce with great suspension & brakes. But this new machine is going to be MEAN!

      Light ... 2700#. Lots of aero dowforce ... 1500# ++. Good Power ... 700HP. Sequential no-lift-shift 6-speed. 335 slicks on all 4 corners. Giddy Up !!

      It started with the selection of a cool, good looking 70 Fastback Mustang body ... and the desire to make it "meaner." Track width is grip. Pure & simple. So we decided we wanted the body 6" wider ... from the fenders down ... so the greenhouse stayed the same size (so as not to increase drag). I had a lot of changes made to the body to increase downforce. I'll explain them as we show you the car build.

      Now getting the body built ... in fiberglass ... took longer than planned, primarily due to all the customization. We can normally get a complete fiberglass body shell, front end, doors, hood, deck lid, etc ... in about 3-4 months. This one took 6 months.

      Here are some photos of the body building process.

      The body shell arrived at Randy Chastain's One-Off Customs shop 10 days ago. Since then, he already has the front clip, rear clip & subframe built with the engine, trans & fuel cell mocked up. Now he's mounting the body. We'll show you those as we go along with the build.

      We plan to shake the car down at Thunderhill Raceway in Northern California at the end of June, so the actual car build is hauling ass. Stay Tuned Boys & Girls !

      For Greg Weld's 70 Fastback Mustang Track-Warrior ... we had a custom body built that is 6" wider! It's 3" wider on each side, right where the greenhouse (roof & pillars) meet the body.

      This was done by hand with fiberglass veterans with experience doing custom bodies.

      Here is a progression of the body being built.

      The car prior to this frame off was a very fun triple duty street/autox/road course car with mostly off the shelf suspension upgrades with a few of my own geometry and brake tweaks. It wasnt competitive and had its limitations but I had fun beating the hell out of it on a daily basis. As with all projects I decided to change it up and that snowball has now turned into an avalanche

      Dan Kowaleski had been running a modified (enlarged) Mustang Trans Am body on a NASCAR Cup Car chassis for quite awhile. He decided he wanted to build a more modern, lighter Trans Am style chassis & modify his Mustang body back to the original Trans Am shape & size.

      Dan reached out to us for the chassis design, geometry work up & suspension set up. Other than providing that, our shock valving & parts to build his new hot rod ... Dan did ALL the work himself in his 2-car garage. It's pretty cool to see a guy build his own road race car & race it.

      Here was his old car (NASCAR Cup Chassis & bigger Body)

      Here are some EARLY photos of Greg Weld's 70 Mustang the front end. I say "early" because we've made changes & advancements to it since these. But you'll get to see the progression this way. I'll show the changes we made & why we made them.

      Early stages of front end customization. You can see where the front end has been widened 3" on each side for a total of 6" wider. This is all to widen the track width & make room for 335/30/18 Hoosier Slicks all the way around.

      The top red circle shows where the Ford style is shaped into the nose. We'll be removing that ... smoothing & rounding the nose ... and making the hood flat in front of the eventual 4" cowl hood scoop.

      The red circle on the bottom is just to point out that the air dam mocked up here is NOT going to stay that shape. It will also be rounded. Gotta start somewhere.

      This is a good photo showing what the factory tail panel kick up looked like. If I left this as is, it would seriously affect airflow off the back of the car. So we leveled it out as you can see in the second photo.

      We had to measure the body ... to be absolutely sure ... of the dimensions for tire width, track width, etc ... before we built the clips. The day the body arrived, we measured it. The front & rear frame clips with suspension were done 2 days later.

      I don't have photos of Mark Milliron's front clip being built, but they get built in our proprietary jig fixure that insures everything is true & the critical suspension points are exact. When they are done, they look like these.

      This is a GT Clip, similar to the one in Mark Milliron's Torino today.

      This is Mark's Torino, after Randy Chastain at One Off Customs removed the floor & firewall. It's the chassis jig with the clip in place & the rear frame rails mocked up.

      Here are some photos with the mid-frame structure done at Randy Chastain's "One-Off Customs" shop.

      A few things that might not be apparent from the photos are:
      * The outer rails are 2x2 x .120" wall
      * The inner rails are 2x3 x .065" wall
      * The cross bracing is 1x2 x .065" wall

      The cross bracing is flush with the top rails, leaving a 1" void between the bottom of the outer rails & the bottom of the cross bracing. This is where we run the brake lines & car wiring to the rear for fuel pump, tail lights, etc.

      The brake lines utilize two bulkhead fittings that go through the dog legs (at the firewall) & rear crossmember. The main fuse block, Holley ECU, No-Lift Shift Controller & Data Logger all mount on the backside of the firewall, in the cockpit & under the dash on a rubber insulated panel to reduce NVH to the electronics. The wiring goes through the floor & into to that same 1" void to the rear crossmember ... where it then goes into & through the rear frame rail back to the cell & tail lights.

      The engine & trans are just "mocked up" & locked in place in these photos. We do this so the actual engine & trans mounts can be built & the exhaust can be run. The headers & exhaust run down the center of the car.

      Later, there will be a "tunnel backbone" structure built into the car. It gets super insulated to help keep the driver cool. Plus JET-HOT High Performance Coatings coats the headers & exhaust INSIDE & OUTSIDE with with their top line 2000° thermal barrier. This is to reduce heat transfer to the transmission & driver.

      If you look close, you'll notice Randy fabricated a thin steel panel that attaches to the bottom & top of the fiberglass body rockers. The panel has 6 rivnuts in it to allow the chassis to bolt to the rockers. You can see the milled holes in the frame rails that allow access to these bolts from under the car (with the belly pan removed.) The body is NOT quickly removable. Impossible to seal off the cockpit if it was. But the body can be removed in about an hour if needed for crash repair.

Size:  241.6 KBOld photos, I changed a lot mid stream. Again.
      One of my “sacred cows” was to go with the wide 5 wheels & hubs.
      Two tries later, spindles still don’t fit, and even if modified again so everything would clear, geometry & brakes are compromised with 15” wheels.
      So scrapping that idea, new pieces ordered, I’ll post more when they arrive.

      The first photos here show the new steel inner rocker panel Randy builds for the fiberglass body. They utilize nutserts. The frame will have matching holes to bolt the rocker panels to the frame. It will also attach in 6 other locations. The body "can be" removed in about an hour or so. The goal is not to make the body come off quickly, nor often, just if need be to make repairs.

      The odd braces are to keep everything true until the roll cage is installed.

      The roll cage structure is coming along nicely.

      Decoupled 3-Link Mount for Top Links. Decel Link bolts into the brackets. Accel link bolts into a clamp on jack-screw adjuster for quick & easy tuning.

      A lot of people have been asking about the aero. We're 6 weeks away from putting the body on & doing the aero, but I figured I'd give everyone a sneak peek at our high downforce dual element wing. Custom designed for Ron Sutton Race Technology by top folks in the IMSA aero field.

      If you take notice, you'll see the dip in the wing is DEEP. This is how we make serious downforce, but it does create more drag. On a super speedway oval, low drag win. On a road course, high downforce wins. This wing intentionally is medium drag & high downforce. It will eat up 30-60 HP on the straights, depending on the speed. But the downforce when cornering will be nothing short of MEAN.

      Pairing this with our optimized nose design, big splitter, mean front air dam, side splitters, full smooth belly pan underneath & highly functional diffuser in the rear will create downforce upward of 2/3 of the car's weight.

      With this Track-Warrior build happening from start to finish in only 4 months, you will be able to see everything in a pretty short timeline.
