I have been lurking around here for a long time and buying up parts here and there so I figure it's about time I stared a build thread. I have never had a thread like this but I'm so excited to get this project started and can't wait to get everyone's imput so here goes nothing....
Project code named "Khaos" is a car that has only existed in my head for a while now I actually named it after the Monster drink in the black can with the orange M on it, I'm not sure how this came to me because I don't even drink the stuff but my colors were going to be black and orange so the colors fit and anybody that has ever built a car knows that it can be chaos at times so there you go.
This car will be built by Travis Engle (daytonayellaz) so all that know Travis know that it will be built right, he knowes these cars better than anybody I have ever met. That being said of course it will have a LS engine but this one will be kind of unique because it will have a dry sump LS3 and as far as I know it will be the only one in existence. The following are some specs on the car but knowing me they may change so don't be surprised if something on the list changes before the car is finished.

Dry Sump LS3
Mast cam & spring package (LS3 HO)
RPM 4L70E Level V
Forgeline CA3P wheels 18x10 19x12
Ridetech spindles
Ridetech Tru-Turn
Dynotech Headers
Speedtech A-Arms
Kore3 hubs and brackets
Moser 12 bolt
DSE tubs
DSE sub frame connectors
DSE 3" lowering springs
ATS power steering box
Flush glass
C6 Corvette interior
Fesler.....almost everything in the catalog

More pics to come as soon as Travis gets the car he will be posting updated but this is the official start of the project.
Thanks to all that have helped so far and thanks in advance for all the answers to the questions I will have in the future :-)

Car is going to be awesome. Did the wheels I bought come off this car?

Sounds awesome except the c6 interior. Sorry man but Im sure you can do a lot better. In the end I think you would end up with a badass musclecar with an interior that looked and felt like it was made by Fisher Price.

Thanks, that decision isn't final yet, the car is setup for the 4th gen Camaro dash but we are trying to figure out if the 4th gen gauges will work or if it will be easier to just go with the c6 stuff since the engine and computer are out of vette

Your sheermetal and parts list look like a great start! Funny, I almost bought that motor :cheers:

Gandalf Gregg did a mix of custom and c6 interior. It came out top notch!

Thanks for the kind words Jeremy! This is going to be a sweet build guys! Jeremy is going to be great to work for.... he doesnt mess around! When parts need ordered or decision made he gets it done.
I have had several people ask me who bought my G.S. LS3 drysump motor and I was keeping it under wraps until Jeremy wanted to let everyone know.

Great start to the build thread Jeremy.... :cheers:

Add a complete subframe and torque arm rear suspension from Jake's Rod Shop to the growing list of things this car will have

Congrats on the choice to buy Jake's setup. You won't be disappointed with his parts or service.

So this is what is slowing down the progress on my car at Travis's shop. j/k
Car looks great, perhaps a mistake will be made and I somehow wind-up getting that ls3 in the mixup.

Gonna be a sweet setup- Subscribed!

Your going to be very happy with the C6 seats- unless your a really big guy...I just mounted mine and I don't think I could have found a better modern seat for the 69!

I can't wait to get the subframe, new suspension parts, and brakes from you. After buying wheels and suspension, when I am finished you will be able to see what your car would have looked like...kinda except it will blue with satin hockey stripe

Yeah David it's kinda cool that you will have most of my car but I'm glad your getting them.....I want to see some pics when you get some time to take them of the 69 and that twin turbo 67

Yes- on my build site. They are mounted in there but none of the interior is done yet...Just starting on the dynamat this week.

They look nice in there, how hard was it to fit the GTO rear seat?
diesel25lrs

On the front C6 seats-The fit is awesome-just for reference-I'm 5'8" and 175 and love the bolsters!
I haven't touched the rear seats yet other than sitting them in the back to check it out-soon though... I will have to remove the middle piece that connects the two buckets seats together as it sits flat on the tunnel and the seats have a good 6-8" to go down towards the floor. shouldn't be a big deal though-they are nice bucket seats for the rear and will only require a little side trim around them to make it look nice. I also know from some other guys who have done it that the front of the seat cushion is a little bulky and sits close to the front seat-taking up legroom from the rear passenger...I plan on shaving as much of this down as I can-but I haven't tackled it yet.

So when are you going to update this thread? The orginal KAOS has taken on a new name and there is a new car going to be KAOS. It is crazy how I bought the wheels and then was going to buy the suspension and ended up with the whole car LOL Jeremey you are just the saleman aren't ya? haha

Where are the pics of the new suspension, got on to take a look and there are NO PICS? lol
