Project Kryptonite (Rupp Take Note)

[Finch]

I just found out about this project last night in the chat room, totally missed it.

Congratualtions man. I could not be more happy for you. Looks awesome and I am sure you will make the deadline and perfrorm well, your a great driver.

All I can say is both you and Penny need to watch out at RTTHs! We will have a new toy there. Were not looking for the crown...............were looking to change the way it's done!

Thats all I can say unitl late February!

Hows that for talking ****, LOL!

Nice to have you aboard the trash train Frank... I too am holding some back as this Camaro is just one piece to the Finch domination this year

I had a memory card failure on my shop camera so lost some of the progress pic's I took the last couple of days.

I have finished up the front end by cutting the front bumper into 5 pieces moving it up and in to fit nice and tight. I deleted the fangs and the license plate recess to give the bumper a smooth and consistant look. This did require making custom bumper brackets to fit the Marquez lower valance so I am curious how other folks handle the installation of the Marquez units.

I also cut up the stock support bracket to clear the lower valance and added a tab to support it as well. The RS grill now fits beautiful and the front end is ready to blow apart and get into primer.

To work on the driver side of things I signed up for a track day next weekend at the Super Speedway here in Nashville. Should get 2-3 20 minutes sessions running the road course. I will be taking my 71 out on the KDW's to get some more seat time on the street tires and get ready for Faceoff in Nebraska.

Sweet.. I will be practicing at Buttonwillow in late March. Did DSE ever finalize the treadwear deal for that event?

Call D!ck over at BOS.. they installed the piece on Matt Alcala's '69 Camaro. I'm sure he could tell you how they dealt with it

Looks good. I did custom brackets as well.
