I love it

[Brian46]

Yes it is! U-Pol Raptor Liner!The raptor liner looks way better than what was used on my car... It looks like it goes on quite thin and shows the contours of the work underneath very well.

Does it require/come with a special sprayer for the liner?

play with the psi and distance @ the gun to come up with the look you want. The raptor kit come's with a gun.
Car has 3 coats on the bottom, it's ??? 5-7 mil

Should work good for some sound damping?

TomIt looks like a good product, I have Linex on one of my trucks and Rhino liner on another, this looks like a similar texture and shows the quality of the work underneath quite well.

The stuff that was used on my car however looks like it was thrown on with a spoon and very rough texture, I used a mil build guage on it and it is beyond it's limits (75 mil) so I think something was hidden underneath the coating.

Thanks for the info, I will be sure to consider this after I get the goo stripped of my car.

Thanks, Brian

This thread has cost me lots of $$$$$, j/k. Very nice and tasteful scheme!!! This is the first thread that I have ever subscribed to. Other than the lack of mini tubs and CF, seems to be similar to the direction of my '67.

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! :twothumbs

awesome job on the car so far. Love the coil mounts and where you have them located. Nothing room-wide like that on my stock stub, so I'm jealous. Very sharp.

[67 ls1 vert]

I may have missed it somewhere in your posts but I see that you have the look of carbon fiber on the rear panel under the rear window. Is that some kind of over lay or paint to look like it or something?

BTW, great job on your cool camaro.:1st:

December issue of Camaro Performers Magazine..

Just saying.. :)

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

Hey Steve, I have been very lazy or too busy (not sure which one) to subscribe. But when do the new issues normally hit the news stands? Our area is kind of hit or miss on whether or not an issue will be offered.. Some months are offered, the the next month or months are skipped.. Just wondering if the November issue is out yet?

It is a great Magazine, and I am embarrassed to say that I do not have a subscription.. But, I promise to work on that..

They beat up the black and white Camaro pretty good, I am certain you thought that the black and white car was a lot nicer car then 962. Different set of judges on ours. But then the car got best interior and best engine? Whatever, exactly why I hate car shows.

The scores were on the money with my black and silver 56, I had it at 985 and they nailed it at 987. The judges also nailed both the red Chevelles did really close to what I was expecting, I had them at 980 and 990 and they hit them 982 and 989. And I thought they nailed your car, but I want your judges to rejudge the black and white Camaro though.

All and all I carried out a ton or hardware, so overall I am happy. I am also glad it is over. Preparing 4 cars for 1000 point judging is stressfull to say the least.

[Forgeline 1]

Congratulations Bill!
Awesome car and well deserved awards. Thanks for letting Forgeline be a part of it.

Very nice. You really have done a great job at selecting the right mix of parts and paint. The Carbon Fiber is a feature, but it doesn't over power the car.

[68/CamaroFL]

I posted this in manual trans section so i thought i would go ahead and post this in my build section of Evade I Was at the NSRA-Southeast Street Rod Nationals this past weekend and driving the "Evade" all three days back and forth from the house 45 minutes each way it was a great weekend and even took home a Award Pick of the Show presented by (ISCA) International Show Car Association. I was about 4 miles from the house went to down shift in fourth gear and would not go? had a serious grind trying to shift the shifter sounded like it was shifting in each gear however its fricking stuck in 5 gear had no other choice but to drive it home in 5th I now i burned the hell out of the clutch! but was able to make it home, on Monday morning called Keisler and left a voice mail for Shafi Keisler and e-mailed him since I bought the complete TKO-600 package from them its been three days and NO phone call! or NO e-mail what great service! :sleeping:
need help? also Ive been Contemplating for the past 8mo swapping out the TKO and step up to the T-56.. Now since I will be changing the whole clutch it might be a no brainier any advice?
Thanks,
Bill

[68/CamaroFL]

Getting the T-56 ready for install i did a lot of research for installing T-56 without Tunnel modifications ... The T56 is a larger transmission than your stock transmission. and the TKO If you are using the proper LS motor mount kit, the LS T56 will fit in the tunnel of the 1967-1974 Camaros without having to cut or enlarge the tunnel.
Note: If you are using incorrect LS motor mounts, if you have shorter, non-stock sub-frame bushings, or if your stock bushing are worn and compacted, the T56 may not fit within your tunnel without modifications

With having the Complete Speedtech sub-frame- LS Motor mounts and the Solid body mounts the T-56 fit like a glove !

[68/CamaroFL]

We changed the lakewood bellhousing to this SFI-approved Quicktime scattershield. The main benefit here is that its compact design takes up less space in our already crowded trans tunnel.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/Quicktimebell-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/Quicktimebell.jpg.html)

The new DYAD DS twin-disc Part # 04614842

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG_001-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG_001.jpg.html)

Every DYAD DS clutch that ships from Centerforce comes with what they call a “birth certificate” specific to that unit. It gives all sorts of helpful data like compression depth, travel to release, average clamp load, and most importantly, the average torque holding capacity. In our case it’s 1,387 pounds.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/DYADCLUTCHSPECS1a-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/DYADCLUTCHSPECS-1-a.jpg.html)

Centerforce’s solution was to lighten up a steel flywheel. By removing weight from the outer edge, the flywheel gains much of the benefit found in an aluminum flywheel.....“The entire assembly weighs 45.8 pounds!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG24-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-24.jpg.html)

The DYAD DS is a ‘true sprung’ hub design with the main drive disc built from chromoly steel. The drive disc also has over an inch of spline engagement for stability and strength.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG25-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-25.jpg.html)

The floater then went on and was held in place by the three lugs on the flywheel. Centerforce marked both of these parts with machinist’s ink to let us know how to orientate them.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG26-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-26.jpg.html)

The floating disc is held by six drive pins rather than on the input shaft of the transmission. This meant aligning the clutch parts was a snap.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG28-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-28.jpg.html)

With all the discs in place, Tom could go ahead and install the pressure plate and secure it with the included high-strength fasteners.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG29-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-29.jpg.html)

[68/CamaroFL]

Before Stuffing the T-56 into the Evade Camaro we installed a new GM Performance Hydraulic throw-out bearing part #24264182

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG30b-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-30b.jpg.html)

In order to connect the current Hydraulic line Tom had Custom made a billet slave insert to connect the line

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG30d-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-30d.jpg.html)

[68/CamaroFL]

Now with the T-56 installed we adjusted the speed tech cross member back to fit and in order to get the correct pinion angle we to custom cut the cross member a half inch drop

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG31-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-31.jpg.html)

Now with the Cross-member all welded up fits perfect !

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/05/IMG41-1.jpg (http://s700.photobucket.com/user/wpano/media/T-56%20Magnum%20Install/IMG-41.jpg.html)

[68/CamaroFL]

Next we sent out the drive shaft to Local Pyramid Machine for shortening up about 3inches.... next came all connectors

After install we went ahead and clean up and re polished all Stainless Works Exhaust
