Icy white would be my choice but this is not my car
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.
How about just black. And not just any black, but the blackest black any black car has ever been.

This car will look photoshopped, but it isn't. I was kinda wondering how it might work as a laser defense coating.
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.
That black is badazz though
Smooth67 did I buy some parts from you or something? Im trying to remember but yeah I think we talked

Oh cool hey Brett!
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 comesAttachment 179536Attachment 179537Attachment 179538Attachment 179539Attachment 179540Attachment 179541Attachment 179542Attachment 179543

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.
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 !
Some photos of the mud room happening.
Well I cannot get them attached. My new phone who t work on the app so guess il have to laptop them
Wow, that looks amazing! And your body guy looks exhausted haha. That's a lot of work.
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.
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.Attachment 183745Attachment 183746Attachment 183747Attachment 183748Attachment 183749Attachment 183750
Can't wait to see it painted Jason ! Primer coat looks perfect !
I visited the car last week in the body shop, and left there came home and at a store looked at a 2020 Vette that was blue, and the panel gaps on my car make the better ones look bad. Man the guys doing the body work are good
Congrats man!! you made it out from bodywork-jail, and soon to be released from paint-jail!
I’m looking forward to the next update(s).

Thanks. I'm little over 4 years deep in it.
I'm ready to see it out of paint jail in my shop
Cars lookin real good now it’s time to start putting all back together.
also have a love for old trucks can you post a picture of the red truck and a little info?
Congratulations! It looks great. I'm happy for you, getting close.
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.
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. It's always inspiring to see other guys builds. On
Awesome ! Looks really nice, can't wait the following steps
