Jason's 67 pro touring Camaro

[TANKMASTERJ]

Like to get a build thread started. I started with a 67 6 cylinder car. Now a 327 Scat etc with aluminum heads big roller cam. Edelbrock air gap. Quick fuel carb mated to a 01 Camaro T56 trans.
Paint job went South so I rescued car. The. Proceed to cut out floor, trunk and frame rails. I installed an AMD full floor, trunk , narrowed frame rails and dynacorn minitubs
Currently mocked up with Speedtech subframe and rear torque arm with rear a narrow 53.75" ford 9"

Just raised the tunnel last week with Speedtech tunnel mod kit but I added 4" to accommodate the T56 longer shift point.
It's Headed to the rotisserie next week after working on it 2 years.
Got some Forgeline ZX3 R wheels black barrels and titanium centers with 14" wilwood aero 6 for front and 14" aero 4 for rears.
I'll ha e to figure out the picture posting.

[pittpens24]

Do yourself a favor. Be sure you raised your tunnel enough to get the top bolt of the T-56 out. I dropped my motor in with the trans already bolted on so it was never a thought until now that I have to pull the motor on a finished build to change an oil pan gasket and can;t get to the top trans bolt:banghead:

[TANKMASTERJ]

thanks for the insight. i love not doing things twice. Are you happy with the 18X12s? Im wavering on rebarrelling my Forgelines from 18X10 to 11 or 12

can anyone instruct me on how to post pics?
thanks Jason

[TANKMASTERJ]

After a 6 grand paint job gone bad, and my Speedtech rear suspension cradle not fitting between a crinkled frame rail, I decided to cut the car apart and go pro touring. I am a water tower builder contractor. I think it is easier to push 3/4 or 1/2 inch plate steel where i want it than this sheetmetal but one year later I got a new full floor, trunk. mini tubs, outer fenders, and all my Speedtech front and rear suspension mocked up. Front downtube bars mocked up, Ridetech Stainless Full Cage mocked up. Now headed to rotisserie in about a week.

[Motown 454]

It looks good, nice job.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Thanks Wayne. Its a longhaul one LOL.
Anyone got any Insight on Good Billet aluminum Hood Hinges. Looking at the usual Ring Bros, Billet Specialties, and EMS

Yes very happy with the 18 x 12's.
I have Summit Racing brand billet hinges on mine and they work great and look cool
I see you already figured out how to post pics lol. Car looks good

[Billet-Specialties]

Billet Specialties leaves no detail unattended. Each hood hinge is precision 3D machined on both sides of the arms for style from any angle. Precision bearing pivots. Stainless button head fasteners attach the hinge assembly to the vehicle offering an atheistically superior look over standard hex head fasteners. Available in polished, black anodized or raw machine finish to match your style. The gas shocks are now included.

Any By the way if your in Arkansas, I'm using D and D Specialty Cars of Van Buren. Check them out. Very impressive shop.
Dale and Stacy Johns run it. From research and what I've seen so far on my build, and his shop full of deep pocket customs, they run a first class operation.
I'll keep it coming.
I viewed body shops and builders all over Arkansas. Never stepped foot in a shop I was impressed with until theirs.

Little weekend work. Dial indication on the new QuickTime bell on the LS7.
Widest range was 0 -.008. so I'm. Within spec on run-out at just .004.
Later this week I'll set pedal for the hydraulic throw out bearing and mock up my LS7 and T56 magnum in my freshly powder coated black Speedtech sub frame.178091178092178093

[jamminj007]

Looking good sir! Keep up the good work.

[berdunord]

Nice job Jason !

[TANKMASTERJ]

Got my freshly powdered subframe Al together except my ATS spindles as they were at home and my sub was at my shop in town!
Slow and. Steady178210178211178212178213178214

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ok LS7 engine. Had this fidanza aluminum flywheel and LS9 clutch on when I bought it. Found out my tremec magnum along with quick time bell doesn't fit. Not enough room for the Tilton TOB. Measurements show exactly .500 not enough room. Turns out a McLeod clutch would so fine but I want to be able to go with the LS9 clutch. So I'm having a spacer machined .625 thick to go between the bell and the magnum. Besides being able to use the LS9 dual disc clutch I'll also be able to use the Roller Pilot bearing that runs the. Outer edge of the crank rather than the needle pilot bearing deep in the crank.
They make 1/4 and 3/8 spacers but I don't want to sstack them so a machined one at .625 is just what the doctor ordered.
.500 to get to fit and .125 for the TOB airgap. 178442178443

[TANKMASTERJ]

So I got on the LS7 wet conversion today. Swapped oil pump, shimmed it to tolerance. Swapped front cover. Added a Katech C5r timing chain and a Mast Motorsports stroker oil pan kit. Fit is excellent on the pan.
Clears the speedtech pro touring subframe with rack and pinion on the Rear
Got the LS7 on the subframe. Just waiting on my machinist buddy to make my trans to bell spacer and I can install the T56.
After that I'm going to wire it and start it for the first time in the subframe since I'm going crazy waiting for the car to be painted and get off the rotisserie.178845178846178847178848178849

[berdunord]

Nice job Jason ! Can't wait to see the paint job !

[TANKMASTERJ]

I'm wavering between Glasurit Icy White with a matte black hood and. Tail pan like the Snowblind Camaro
Or
Viper Red with White Z28 stripes

[berdunord]

Icy white would be my choice but this is not my car

[Smooth67]

I'm wavering between Glasurit Icy White with a matte black hood and. Tail pan like the Snowblind Camaro
Or
Viper Red with White Z28 stripes

I was just thinking this weekend that I need to reach out and check up on your status...

The White/Black is awesome...I think we had a txt chat about that awhile back. Still on my mind but I think I'm going a different route. Viper Red would never be a bad choice as well.

[Vimes]

I'm wavering between Glasurit Icy White with a matte black hood and. Tail pan like the Snowblind Camaro
Or
Viper Red with White Z28 stripes

How about just black. And not just any black, but the blackest black any black car has ever been.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/08/27/bmw-vbx6-vantablack-car-design/

This car will look photoshopped, but it isn't. I was kinda wondering how it might work as a laser defense coating.

[Smooth67]

[TANKMASTERJ]

Cannot do the solid black I got a black Duramax HD and wife has a Black 02 TA.
So I gotta be different.
I really dig the Snowblind Camaro scheme but but looking at a few Viper red and white striped cars.
The thought I have is Glasurit Icy White with a black hood Matte, tail pan, carbon fiber spoilers and my Hood vents by Frank here on the. Forum to be titanium t match my forgeline ZX3rs with black barrels and titanium centers. Also have a. Ridetech tiger cage in stainless and .
I really need a Portrait or Rendering done.

[TANKMASTERJ]

That black is badazz though

[TANKMASTERJ]

Smooth67 did I buy some parts from you or something? Im trying to remember but yeah I think we talked
Jason

Yeah, I’m up in Fayetteville - we did a deal on some brakes/steering gear.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Oh cool hey Brett!

[TANKMASTERJ]

A little weekend progress. Got my spacer machined for between the bell and the T56. Make it at .625 and you got room for the Tilton 6000 and an LS9 d disc clutch. I checked deck of spacer torqued to bell for maximum of .005 variance. Averaged ..0039 Made longer dowel pins and such. Checked all clearance t insure I got .125 airgap on my Tilton TOB.
My TOB is all the way screwed down right on the adjustable mount. Good thing about that is if I switch to a McCleod clutch later I got room to stretch it since McCleod is alot shorter than the LS9 clutch.
This. Setup allowed me to run the larger pilot bearing instead of the needle bearing. Great thing about that is way easier to remove when the time comes179536179537179538179539179540179541179542179 543

looking good! Very similar build to what I plan for mine. Definitely jealous of your power plant.
Have you been happy with the quality of the speedtech package? I should be ordering mine soon.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Zero complaints on speedtech. Absolutely excellent fit, finish , and quality.
I bought my torque arm rear setup from a guy in Ms that didn't finish a build and my front pro touring subframe from a guy in IL that didn't finish his build. Both at about 15% under new cost .
Speedtech is first class.
My power plant come from a Vette that a guy just had juiced up at Late Model Racecraft. Guy just had it done and crashed it. I ga e 8200.00 for it! With all accessories and ECM, pedal and all.

Nice drawing Jason, can't wait to see it on the road !

[TANKMASTERJ]

Some photos of the mud room happening.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Well I cannot get them attached. My new phone who t work on the app so guess il have to laptop them

[ryeguy2006a]

Wow, that looks amazing! And your body guy looks exhausted haha. That's a lot of work.

[GB68]

That's all great for sure, and I'll be the first to admit I cant do the quality work like some of these more experienced and I really bow to to you guys but very few take the plunge cutting up and taking chances like I'm doing with a 68 cam conv.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Few more updates mud room photos . It's in primer coat #1 PPG. Note the fiberglass grill surround insert will give this 67 a more of a. 69 recessed grill look. I'll either fabricate a stainless or aluminum grill.
I haven't decided yet.183745183746183747183748183749183750

[berdunord]

Can't wait to see it painted Jason ! Primer coat looks perfect !

[TANKMASTERJ]

Red truck isn't mine it belongs to another guy. It's in the shop my car was in for paint jail. I can next trip take a few photos. Story is man became real successful and he and his dad used to farm and haul hay with that truck. He had it stretched to crew, widened, and placed on a 2019 F750 chassis. He wanted a NEW truck with warranty. So be and the shop owner Dale Downs with D and D Specialty went to detroit and met ford executive. They said as long as you don't cut a wiring harness or any plumbing whatsoever they would honor the warranty. So there you have it. It's beautiful. D and D us a VERY high quality shop.
I replaced all the metal I could in my shop being floor, trunk, frame rails and tubs, the took to them to paint to save some coin. Mockcked the front and rear suspension and roll cage prior to taking to them also.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Congratulations! It looks great. I'm happy for you, getting close.

Thanks Wayne I see your progressing too. What a journey with these cars. I went to Arkansas Camaro Fest yesterday it's a small show probably 150 cars but sponsored by Gwatney performance out of jacksonville ar. Lot of cool Camaros all generations there.

[Vimes]

Made ya freak out!

[egoman]

Lets be clear, I HATE white cars!
Seems like I may have to rethink that now, That looks good!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Thanks for all the positive comments guys it really does look way better in person as you know they usually do if things are right.
The work these guys do at d&d specialty is absolutely stellar.
My back side hurts but oh my God is pretty.
Took way more money than I ever dreamed and ever talked about with the shop but the end result is unbelievable.
cannot wait to get it in my shop and start putting my labor hours in it again.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Vines
I'm going in crooked is the back side of me where the wallet side of my pants is so much lighter now

[TANKMASTERJ]

Only thing crooked. LOL. Talk to text OMG

[berdunord]

[TANKMASTERJ]

Hows your coming?

[TANKMASTERJ]

Thanks Brett!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Installed my headlight bucket mounts today. Both vents . And a few emblems just for the heck of it.
So glad this car is he so I charge ahead with it.189191189192189193189194189195189196189197

[Smooth67]

Woohoo! yep, white is killer...would match my truck! [emoji23] [emoji848]

I found it helpful it get a whiteboard and make columns for the major items, then list to dos under each. Drilling my header panel for that emblem is one of those

[TANKMASTERJ]

Mine was already drilled but my right fender is also drilled for an SS emblem but I'll swap fl an LS7 emblem. Wish they would have welded the up because left fender got replaced and no one said hey
Jason the left fender has no holes and right one has. Five, why do you want to do.
I never thought until I saw it painted.
But that's why I'm going the. LS7 on the side or I'd have none.
I sure am glad I did the white though it's so clean and bright.
I think she will be named White Lightning.
I kicked around blizzard, ghost, Polar Bear but Jeff Daniels the guy who rub the hole car slick as glass told me when I picked. It up he had been trying to be her since he started rubbing the finish and came up with White Lightning.
I like it!

[wareaglescott]

Looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing it going back together.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ok so I am super happy with the paint job from the rockers up. However the bottom I was not. It wasn't seam sealed but they applied raptor. So I sanded it all down, seam sealed with 3M heavy bodied urethane, and re shot with raptor. Now I'm happy with it.19067419067519067619067719067819067919068019068 1190682

[TANKMASTERJ]

Today I painted center section on my torque arm 9" setup. Painted it Stainless Steel so it would match my coil overs.
I also cut my transmission mount apart, shortened it by 1/2" to give clearance between my t56 and tunnel. I used the speed tech tunnel raise kit but it was still tight so I figured that was better than shimming my billet subframe mounts.
Also re shimmed driver door to front fender because when I took the Subframe back out after returning from the body shop it closed up to tight to open the door.190705190706190707190708190709190710

[qnitro]

Man that car is money.. the white with black accents looks perfect

[Smitham32803]

The build looks great. It looks like the sister car to mine, there is something close to my heart for a white first Gen...

[Smooth67]

Nice work Jason...sucks you had to re-do that underside but now is the time for sure. Won't have to worry about that again

[Motown 454]

Nice job underneath it looks great.

[wareaglescott]

Looks awesome.
I am run the process of scarping the old undercoating off with plans to spray Raptor on it eventually. How many bottles of the Raptor did you use?

[TANKMASTERJ]

Thanks qnitro.
Kind words keep us all going
Jason

[TANKMASTERJ]

Motown 454 I haven't looked at your thread for a while I need to catch up on it
Thanks

[TANKMASTERJ]

Little by little

Great thanks. That is how many I have! haha

[Corey R.]

Nice paint work Jason!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ok so I got the interior floor sealed, sanded and seam sealed. Partially taped. Getting ready to spray lizard skin sound deadener and lizard skin ceramic heat barrier.
Also got my nitros mounted on some Forgeline ZX3 Rs.
Titanium centers and black barrels.
275-40-18 fronts
295-45-18 rears. ( I wanted the height of the 45 @28.40" tall. I built thee entire car around a. 28" tire the 315s.
I wanted nthe 315-40 rears but nitro is out of stock and not saying when
I could ha e got a drag radial or dot road race type but I wanted a street tread so these will do to finish the build and roast them away while waiting on the 315-40-18.

Ok so Iam OCD with the car. I just sprayed lizard skin sound deadener. Tomorrow will be lizard skin ceramic heat barrier. Then when I assemble the car Iam still going to use dynamat. 19133419133519133619133719133919134019134119133719 1342

[John McIntire]

Looks great! How much product did you wind up using to get all that covered?

[wareaglescott]

Im spraying my ceramic insulation today after doing the sound stuff two days ago. How did you make out with the little depth gauge? I didn't have a ton of success getting consistent results! Really like the way it sprays on though!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Under the car has two coats raptor. First coat 1 gallon. Second coat 3 quarts.
The Lizard Skin ceramic heat insulator in the car I used 2 gallons and really could have used another half gallon. But I sprayed even up under the areas between the back glass and trunk as well as inside of rear quarters and under the dash as far up as to where paint stops where dash meets windshield.
I didn't spray inside my doors yet. I'm going to just sand them and use some rate can undercoat then dynamat there.

Yes it is hard to be consistent. I've used wet mil guages my whole life on epoxies and urethane as well as zinc rich coating due to being in the water tower construction business

[TANKMASTERJ]

Looks great! How much product did you wind up using to get all that covered?
I'm it does also have excellent adhesion for a water based product. And if you get it on paint you better clean off quick. It's fast!

[Gmc427]

Ok so I got the interior floor sealed, sanded and seam sealed. Partially taped. Getting ready to spray lizard skin sound deadener and lizard skin ceramic heat barrier.
Also got my nitros mounted on some Forgeline ZX3 Rs.
Titanium centers and black barrels.
275-40-18 fronts
295-45-18 rears. ( I wanted the height of the 45 @28.40" tall. I built thee entire car around a. 28" tire the 315s.
I wanted nthe 315-40 rears but nitro is out of stock and not saying when
I could ha e got a drag radial or dot road race type but I wanted a street tread so these will do to finish the build and roast them away while waiting on the 315-40-18.
The last photo is the 275-40-17 that I had on the car before. Lot taller and wider. 191250191251191252191253191254

have you mocked up with these yet?

[TANKMASTERJ]

have you mocked up with these yet?
Yes. The car is built around them. My rear is very narrow. 52 7/8" narrow. The rear wheels were mocked with a 3" spacer. To get me where I want to be and compensate for the 6.97 backspace. I'm going to use the spacers as to mill off a few thousands or 1/8 or whatever to fine tune where I want them. Then I'll re barrel the rears accordingly. I did that because I got the ZX3r wheels for 2800 new. .
I want 315 on rear but they are long back orders nkw so 295s are temporary.
The height of them is I built the car for a 26" front height and a 28" rear. I had 24.5 fronts and 25.5 rears and it was way to low and I had to floor jack to get it on my challenger CL10v3 lift. That was t going to work for me and it had really no rake or stance. So alot of math and tape measure on to conclude what I really wanted.

[Smooth67]

Looking good Jason! I’d be afraid of getting it on the paint somewhere [emoji85] that’s going to be nice! I know you mentioned Dynamat but have you looked at Kilmat?

I haven't looked at kilmat. But I have a box of dynamt my paint shop bought and used in the roof so ingot some left
Overs there and ingot another box I ordered way back when I dismantled the car. So expensive as it all is it's going in the car lol!

Well in that case, Dynamat it is!! Will definitely hit you up when I’m down there.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ok I wanted to start wiring. So I mocked up the vintage air unit and removed. Enlarged the bulkhead wiring hole and mocked up the. AAW wiring bulkhead. I then realized I need to mock up the clutch kit from bowler.
I didn't like the geometry or how offset it was from the factory hole. So I sliced the bowler bracket shortened 1/2" and slid it t the center of the car 3/8" for perfect alignment. Re drilled the clutch pin hole for the master rod and all works flawless.
Now remove all that and begin dynamat extreme.
I got the first box of dynamat empty. My paint guy got a box and. Applied to the inside of roof. The balance made it from under the dash where the defrost tubes hit to about the front of my shift hole.
Box 2 begin!191721191722191723191724191725

[TANKMASTERJ]

Now I got bored laying down looking under the dash gimped up in a fetal ball so I thought I'd install my billet ATS spindles and Aero 6 Caliper and Rotor lot along with the Forgeline ZX3R so I could get a visual.
I dig the wheels big-time.

Last photo was quick shot of firewall white I sprayed just to help visibility while i mocked up everything and it really helped. Now the dynamat is in there it's not so great on visibility.191726191727191728191729191730191729191 731

[TANKMASTERJ]

The 275-40-18 Nitto 555 G2 tires look wide and good on the subframe. I think speed tech says you can run a. 9 or 9.5" wide wheel but I'm running a 10".
It turns lock to lock both ways with about an inch of clearance.
I'm tickled.
Cannot wait to get my engine harness on, AC I'm, and other small stuff done so I can put the subframe back in to see wheel fitment in the wheel well.191732191733

And this afternoon finished the Dynamat. Well actually box of dynamat extreme was empty and I already had a box of Hushmat so I finished the floor back to the mini tubs with it.
I know I know it's not as. Good as the Dynamat extreme but it was paid for and in the shop.191753191754191755191756191757

A little Thursday night madness like drilling 20 holes. In your new slicked off firewall.
I bought this billet AC bulkhead plate from cwylie here on ptf if not mistaken. And I really wanted to use. It. It's a btch as you all know getting hoses to work in such a tight quarters but I really didn't like the vintage air setup going through the firewall and I didn't like loosing my kick panel speaker area so here it is.
The billet plate with all the stainless steel bolts matches my hood vents install, my Forgeline, and the general industrial theme for my build. Now I'll get fresh black gloss powder coat on it and mount up the vintage ac so I can move on with wiring.191886191887191888191889

Thanks Brett.

[berdunord]

That finish level is crazy !:twothumbs

[ryeguy2006a]

Very nice touch. I hear you on drilling into fresh paint. One trick I've used is a piece of painters tape over the area I'm drilling into. It helps to keep the paint from flaking.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Most definitely reyguy. Another truck is use an air hose to cool as you drill just like when you do spot welds or but welds on sheet metal. Weld alittle and cool a lot!
Did you sell your rig?

[TANKMASTERJ]

After installing and removing the rear bumper 7 times I think I'm done. It's the. Original one but some repops brackets. Had to cut them apart and change the angles and re weld. Test fit, grind etc. Then black gloss powder.
Buddy of mine has a powder coat shop so that's been a big help on this build.192059192060192061

[TANKMASTERJ]

Finally got my Ac bulkhead plate successfully mounted and the vintage unit in behind the dash. Put both in and out more than a dozen times. Such a tight fit with a bulkhead. On a. First gen. I didn't want to loose my speaker hole at the kick panel area.
Hard to get good photos under the dash today.
But celebrate small victories. This has. Been a pain in the ass and i found out about the Eaton ez clip hose after I made hoses.
First I cut and welded hard lines, all 4 out of aluminum but when the bulkhead was installed my port threads on the back side. Male was too short and the nuts on the hard lines bottoms out before the oring seals. I built all that on the shop table with a jig and even had the bulkehead mounted exactly as would be in the car. I just didn't take into account the firewall thickness with new metal, mud and Dynamat extreme.
So I scrapped all those and made 4 crimped hoses192098192099192100192101

Putting my E38 ecm in the glove box area.
Going to be a tight fit. I drilled a 2" hole just behind the kick panel area in that small square are where the jamb is. Drilled it from there into the kick panel area ttl route thee LS harness out the fresh air hole.
Since my paint shop left it open to run vintage air through but I used a bulkhead so I left that open.
I took and fabricates a plate like the vintage air fresh air block off plate and offset a 2" hole in it to get my LS engine harness through it. Waiting on it and. My cover plate for the wiper hole both to be powder coated in black gloss.

My advice is not to run the wiring across the firewall. Takes away from a clean engine bay. Bring it behind the motor instead

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ice man
I'm actually going to run it across the firewall on purpose. But I'll use some billet clamps to secure it nice and straight. Also planning to run the lighting harness and the little bit of of AAW engine harness out of the firewall bulkhead and rather than hide it behind the driver fender I'm thinking of of running it up to my no Speedtech on dowmtubes from firewall out to subframe then to headlights and such. Also secured by billet clamps. I'm leaving them show on purpose along with my heat and ac
Lines. If you look at my hood vents, my ac bulkhead, my forgelines all have stainless button head or socket head allen's. This is to achieve an industrial look as I am a water tower construction outfit so we are industrial.
Even my interior parts like door handles, ac vents and such all carry this theme.
I know it's contrary to alot of high end builds but it's my scope and plan

[TANKMASTERJ]

Ok my car is back on the chassis.
I got my ECM mounted up under cowl above the VA. Of course the pics suck a.d don't really show how it's mounted but I drilled through the cowl. Ran a stainless steel stud through and shimmed the under dash side to suspend the ECM so it's got plenty of cooling area all the way around.
Fuse box is mounted flush with bottom of the dash right under over box. Fabbed a quick bracket of stainless for it.
Got my restomod AC Diablo vents in. They will nicely match my industrial theme.
Got my speed tech down tubes in.

A little night time work on brake lines. Got them all run and drilled and clamped with stainless steel bolts and 3/16 clamps.

Also went to put my C and R radiator in and found it , with the original came with it spal fans, will not clear my Wegner Motorsports accessories drive. So I'm going to mount it tomorrow without fans and measure for clearance. Maybe some low profile spal fans will fit.194543194544194545194546194547

What harness did you run?
My psi had wrong connector for both VSS and Oil Pressure. Of course it's not there fault. They told me we'll, Tremec uses a ford style sensor in the non F body magnums so you just have to cut it and splice. I said well I ordered telling you all what I have in your order sheet and was ear I got a standard Tremec T56 magnum.

The harness looks to be nice quality but a couple wrong plugs sucks. But several told me to go Speartech or BP automotive.

A little more late night madness running stainless steel tubing ( 3/8) front to back for fuel feed. I'm running GM style zl1 returnless pump with corner pickups all supplied by and added to a Ricks Stainless tank.
Now I can just do a short braided flex hose from stainless hardline to tank and see up front to fuel rail.
Also flipped fuel rail around to passenger side.
Haven't decided whether to cut the hardline off down at base of firewall or up high level with fuel rail.
See it sticking up next to my down tube bars?
Any thoughts on it?
Remember I'm after an industrial look not a perfect clean engine bay ot car for that matter.
See close up of the vents as well.

Also need to decide on seats and door panels. Thinking about door panels Le this attachment photo from mci and one of these two corbeau seats. Then have tears wrapped to match.
I think the door panels with lots of white and then the black where my greasy motorhead prints will be is a plus and has the black white pop the entire car has. Along with the black seats with white diamond stitch for some more industrial pop.

First I love the hard lines and maybe on version 3.0 I will try to bend stainless lines.

As for the "Hard" fuel line coming up the firewall I would definately mount it low on the fire wall with a bracket and then run a soft line that is at least 12" to 16" long to compensate for movement as these old cars flex a bunch.

As for the hardlines Marty, order the pre bent tube from Inline Tube in 3/8" stainless. It comes in a box about 4' tall with long radius bends. Pull it out of the box and I worked it slow and steady and threaded it over my lift arms and under my car working and clamping as I went . Took about 6 hours to get it all right and tidy but probably easier than trying to bend from scratch .

[berdunord]

Carbon fiber headliner ? Do you have link please ?

Got al the AC condenser and drier in. Made hoses with Eaton EZ Clip hose and fittings. Very easy to build the hoses. Very nice quality.
Still got to run the heater hoses and waiting on an fittings.
Then radiator hoses. I wanted to use Autoplumb fittings to go to AN for radiator but radiator is to tight to subframe toake that work so it's. Either fabricate SE stainless or don't some oem hoses that fit.

Ok
So the Vintage AC Servo motor shown here with Auto Plumb adapters to get from barbed nipples to AN-10. I used them on water pump also.
Gauge pack wired and ready to install.
Made a ground bus in the dash behind column to put all interior grounds to. Had to cut plugs off of AAW harness and Flaming River Steering column and used male female at blade connectors. Got my Auto cool guy fan controller installed and wired.
Used a 16gauge/12 conductor SOOW which is an outdoor wet area shielded cable. It runs through the passenger door jamb out through firewall behind fender to the fan controller, AC, VA Servo motor, and I got 4 conductors left.
Also mounted a positive buss bar by fan controller. Wil run the battery cable #2 from trunk to this buss bar. Then from the buss bar to the starter solenoid. I'm using #2 red welding cable for hot and black ground.
Next I've installed an EATON 5 relay panel from BP automotive. It's got 5 fused and 5 relayed circuits. I mounted it in the trunk. No photo yet. I'll use it for the following circuits:
1 LS Keyed ECM Hot
2. ZL1 fuel pump
3. Heated passenger seat
4. Heated driver seat
5. Rain gear wipers.
This way I have a relay on all five of those circuits. And it's got 5 separate fused small gauge positive wires you can run small load circuits. I'll run to a switch ( heated seat) and from that switch to the relay triggers. And from relay output to heated seat.
Secondly I've got a Waytek 150amp solid state contactor. Using in between this panel and my battery. That contactor is going to be controlled via an RF remote control 12v hot good for 20amps. That gives me a remote control that shuts down my LS ECM feed and my LS ZL1 fuel pump. Though the car could technically still crank, with no ECM power and No Fuel Pump she won't run to
Finally for Fusing of the Crank circuit I'll use a battery mounted 300Amp Blue Sea Marine breaker built on the battery. It's a dual unit so one half feeds the Start Solenoid and the other feeds the secondary Eaton Fuse Panel.
Pictures will post as soon as I get it wired.

Hi Jason ! I like the way you work, this is organized and very clean ! And well explained, can't wait to see her runing !

[Smooth67]

Ok
So the Vintage AC Servo motor shown here with Auto Plumb adapters to get from barbed nipples to AN-10. I used them on water pump also.
Gauge pack wired and ready to install.
Made a ground bus in the dash behind column to put all interior grounds to. Had to cut plugs off of AAW harness and Flaming River Steering column and used male female at blade connectors. Got my Auto cool guy fan controller installed and wired.

Great progress Jason! It's cool to see the step by step process, but how they can be different between cars.



I still haven't installed my Vintage AC Servo, are you mounting it in the engine bay?
I'm thinking about getting a tilt column...you like the flaming river part so far? I think its between them and Ididit


I still haven't made it to Conway, but gonna hollar when I'm in the area. Looking forward to hearing it fire :cool:

Yes the vintage AC Servo is up front . Right behind core support and tucked behind passenger fender.
As for column I've heard Ididit is better who knows . I bought a new un used flaming river in stainless not painted which is what I wanted but from a guy on ebay for 250.00. it's a tilt. I'm happy with it.

[TANKMASTERJ]

How's your car coming Brett?

[Smooth67]

How's your car coming Brett?

Still waiting on paint, and adding tweaking things here and there. Installing a rear shock relocation kit at the moment, and hoping for paint in Feb. looking for something along these lines. Once paint is finished I can get it together 196569196570

[TANKMASTERJ]

Brett
I almost paint my car about that color with blue stripes!
So is the shop at ozark doing yours?

[Smooth67]

Yep, thats the plan anyway. They stay busy for sure just like most good shops do. I have always liked that blue so after floating around the color spectrum I think that one is it. And still unsure about the stripes...originally I was thinking black with stripes but now I'm leaning with the '67 nose wrap like the pic. I think the 2 black daily drivers is enough work for me, I don't need to add a 3rd! Lol

I'm considering a few items still on mine

Adding tilt
Changing gauges - Currently running Classic instruments but thinking either VHX or the Holley 7" dash
TKX - still running the Super t10 currently but the TKX is same spline count and such

[wfo guy]

Jason, I just went through your thread. I'll start with small stuff. I had a 1990 cbr600 hurricane so we have some shared knowledge. I appreciate the fact that you used Lizard skin on the inside and covered it with sound mat. I think you will find the sound mat to be the best that you installed. I have had several white rods and I was told several times that white as a color does little for a build so if you didn't do the rest of it correct, you missed out. You have done well. Many years ago, a friends wife told me that I was lucky because I could do my own work. At the time, I didn't think about it much. I'm not able to do everything real well but it does get done in a timely manner. After reading your thread and seeing how excited you were to have the car back in your hands, it has shed some more light on the subject. :) Congratulations on your progress and I hope your start up goes with out incident. I believe the 1st corner you go into at more than 20 mph will tell you if you made all the right choices correctly. Hot rods for many of us are a reflection on who we are. When you are standing next to it and smiling, I hope those that know you can see what actually happened. You mentioned the tkx as a possible replacement. I have about 200 miles on mine. I'm aware of when I shift into 2nd gear. :) It reminds me of a 3650 in many ways. I had a 3550 in my 32 that reminded me of a Ford top loader 4 speed in more ways than not. I have no idea what your goal was in thinking about the trans change, I just thought I would add that thought. Again, great job and best wishes for the 1st drive. :)

You said alot and all appreciated. I couldn't agree more about it reflection of who we are. Yes white is plain but the white black pop and general industrial theme hopefully will nail my end result plan.as for the TKX that was a buddy of mines comment. I'm running an magnum 6 speed and 4.11 gears.
Still lo e the CBR Hurricane!
Thanks for scanning .y build thread.

196698196699196700196701196702196703
Ok I fabricated a simple bracket to install a 69 clutch safety switch on my 67. I know many people don't use one but I like the idea of it.
Secondly got my EATON 5 relay panel in the trunk and my Waytek solid state contactor. It will be remote control for theft protect. Of the 5 relays 3 are wired to be hot with IGN on. That's one for ECM switched, one for Stereo Amp Switched and one for Raingear Wipers. The other two are to heated seats 1 and 2 and won't be hot until you turn on the seat switch.
After all that crawling around in the trunk I went to finish the hushmat. Ran out at the back of the trunk needing about 6 square feet more.
Fuel pump is also wired in along with fuel sender.196704196705
Also started on wiring in front of the firewall.
Cannot wait to hear it crank. Hopefully next weekend.
I also made battery cables from trunk over he passenger wheel tub. Down to channel above rocker on passenger side. They will penetrate the firewall below vintage air as soon as pass through bulkhead parts arrive. I'll post pics of battery on cables and pass through after installed fully.

[wfo guy]

I read the owner's manual for the Inpower contactor. Are you planning on using the control circuit with a hidden switch or some kind of unit that will have a remote such as a key fob?

[TANKMASTERJ]

Yes I'll have a hidden switch for just in case but I'm running a hidden remote with a Key Fob. I tried finding a quality remote and key fob that wasn't china. No luck so far bjt did find one that I can hide pretty easily and it handles 20 amps.. the Intek contactor came from a company called Waytek. They make it in several amperage largest being 200a.

Ok from the top is my corvette pedal bracket.
Then I installed intake tube and K and N kit with closeout for passenger side from Frank here on the forum.
I've got all circuits wired and tested including
Crank, start, fans, fan controller, gauges, fan on when AC on, Vintage Air, trunk fuse panel hot, Trunk remote kill with key fob, all lighting wires tested.
Still got to install all headlights, taillights, and dash indicator lights.
Gauges and steering Column in.
The White Lightning logo is the cars name and the top cap of the two piece valve covers LS version that cove Coils from Wegner Motorsports. When the Valve covers arrive I can wire up coils and test fire.

[TANKMASTERJ]

So I want to do CRAZY and use JW Speaker Evo J3 headlights with blinker, DRL and high and low. Considering heated and non just for looks. I'm attaching both photos, guys help me pick. Remember before you say I'm nuts my entire build is base on an INDUSTRIAL look.
Jason197394197395

[thumper877]

I think the bottom one has a more industrial look with all the lines. Cars looking really good.

[Tynitty]

Yeah I like the bottom headlights, pretty unique design….reminds me of a circuit board or tron

[TANKMASTERJ]

Yeah I ordered them. They are JW Speakers designed for Jeep but hey who cares! I think it will look good in the the theme of the car.
Thanks guys

[John McIntire]

Looking great! Franks intake is such a nice piece!

[TANKMASTERJ]

And his hood vents!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Well
JW speaker Evo J3 ( jeep headlights ) are in.
I wanted the plain Evo3 which are like these with chrome bezel and black heater element lines. I was told they could be 6 months out. So I opted for the jeep version. Black bezels and white heated lines. Built in DRL and Blinker.
I love them!197802197803197804197805197806197807197808197 809

[wfo guy]

That's a nice looking product. I was curious about the bluetooth and the setup. Then I found the price. I had no idea. :) I sure hope you don't get a rock through one. If they are designed for an off road Jeep, do they have extra think lenses?

[TANKMASTERJ]

Steering wheel and gauge pack installed.
Going to an exhaust shop Wednesday for stainless Pipes and Borla XR1s. Yes I know the Horn button is turned. I caught it right after the picture! 197885

[Scott Atk]

Looking awesome!! Any luck finding a source for the unique headlight/grill surround? Thanks, Scott

So. Taking white lightning out to the exhaust shop. Plan is 3" stainless with Borla XR1s. If they don't look right being center in and out I'll do something else. Also will figure out whether we will do an X pipe or?? Since I got a Speedtech rea torque arm.

[berdunord]

I really love that car ! Congrats Jason.

Before going with turbos, I had an H pipe just between the torque arm crossmember and the transmission crossmember, it was a 2.5" pipe but I think 3" could fit

Exhaust almost done just a little adjusting, tighten clamps and ready for the next phase. Got to rebarrell my forgelines to get the front in another inch.
Ready to start all but Wegner Motorsports custom valve covers. When they arrive she will start.
Cudos to APE, Arkansas Performance Exhaust. Zach over there is doing my car.

[thumper877]

The exhaust layed out really well. Good luck on the first start up. Its so awesome hearing it for the first time.

[Motown 454]

The exhaust looks really nice, I'm looking forward to hearing it too!

[wfo guy]

Looks good. When we start out, we have lots of room. You put a few parts in and then there's no room. :)

[wareaglescott]

That exhaust looks awesome. Cant wait to hear it!!

[TANKMASTERJ]

198776198777
Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Here a few more exhaust pics.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Progress has been slow. Waiting on forgeline barrels as I had to re barrell the wheels. ZX3Rs bought from a beamer. They were 18X10 front and back with 6.5 backspace. However I needed a front backspace of 7" and a rear of 3.5. I knew this upon purchase but I thought it was a deal. Turns out I'm spending almost as much. Maybe saved a grand but that's still a savings.
Got my Hertz speakers under the package tray last night.198932198933198934198935
Also Wegner Motorsports sent me a picture yesterday of my custom valve covers. They shipped yesterday headed way. As soon as they arrive I get to do a first start up.

[Tynitty]

Wow! The exhaust looks so good, honestly the entire underside of the car is immaculate!

[thumper877]

Wow those valve covers turned out nice. They should for how much they are lol. But what on these cars isnt $1000 :) Should really look awesome on the car

[TANKMASTERJ]

Thanks as you know it's a lot of effort!
