As we head into the home stretch on the OLC build we've got some pretty cool bits and pieces coming together.

Many thanks to :hail: Matt Rogers and RFR Custom Fabrication for his help on these additions to the project:

One of the issues that we had with the Ring Brothers hood pins was that in the Camaro application, we had about a half inch of threads exposed above the rad support.

Matt came up with this awesome solution:

He even machined a billet socket to get to the blind nut that is on the underside of the support

We needed some body shims and Matt stepped up with these:

Overkill? Definately.

He also helped us put together a new hood latch:

Which works perfectly with the DSE pin.

This absolutely exceeded my expectations and I can't thank Matt enough or praise his skills any more. We'll have some new stuff coming from him in the next month or so including the next generation of hood latch.

THANKS MATT!!!

Now this didn't come from Matt but it also showed up today and I think that it is really neat peice as well. This is a snap off steering hub that will require just a bit of tweaking to really make work with the Momo wheel and adapter:
