Started off with a pretty good body and boxes of new parts came with the deal..

Sounds like a very cool project. What transmission do you plan to use?

Hey Andrew, Im going with this RTS sequential 6 speed.

[RDeWild]

Some more of the parts Ive got so far..

Good lord! That's some TRANS eye candy....Very cool.

Thanks...I’m not going to want to bolt it in the car.... haha

Put in the speed tech extreme tunnel to clear the trans, also found a MCI interior kit on the forums. Showed up a couple days ago. Really like it so far. Was worried the console wouldn’t clear my trans tunnel but it went in there good.

[RDeWild]

Some of the fab work so far. Still haven’t decided on what color to paint this car. Have to decide kind of soon, getting ready to smooth out the underside

Speed tech rear crossmember tig welded in. Tilton clutch master mocked up, and master cylinder out of a 14 z28. Trans tunnel fab. Transmission with shifter, no h pattern on this one!

Great looking trans, and for what it is, the price seems quite reasonable!

I was looking at their website, but could not find the ratio table.

What gear ratios did you get?

Andrew

[RDeWild]

Some more parts here

Triple carbon clutch and bell housing

[RDeWild]

Hey Andrew, they have pretty much any ratio you’d need. I have the chart somewhere in my email. I’ll post it up on here when I find it.

I was looking at a lot of different sequential transmissions and this one holds a lot of power, it also helped they had $3000 off for the first 25 customers who bought them and was made in the USA. So I thought it was a killer deal.

I specd mine with 2 overdrives

Glad to see my MCI interior found a good home. Will be following this one.

Outstanding!

Wow that trans is beautiful.. ! Very cool build.

Should've used a full floater rear end in my opinion

Yeah. $15,500 according to their website.

[RDeWild]

I agree a floater would be cool. I got a great deal from Speedtech on the suspension parts as a package but it’s never too late to change to rear floater.. haha
You know how it is with these cars it always starts out with some sort of a budget then gets blown way out of proportion with cool stuff. I think at this point I don’t even want to know how much I’m going to have in this one.. haha

[RDeWild]

Yeah. $15,500 according to their website.

Got mine a couple months ago for 12,500 shipped with gear indicator. I think I was one of the last guys to get $3000 off. Add that with triple carbon clutch, bell, LT5... doesn’t take long to get a ton tied up quick!!

Glad to see my MCI interior found a good home. Will be following this one.

Hey Don, thanks for the deal on the interior!!!

Anybody know of a really good power window kit for the Camaro’s?

Starting to look at wheels, leaning towards Forgeline. Any dealers on here?

[D-Man]

Exciting project. Nice to see a local on here as well.
