Any update's....

I've been traveling on business for the past couple of weeks. I'm back and will be stopping by the shop this week to hopefully see some progress and of course, take some pics to post up...

Stopped by the shop today and took some shots. I was happy to see some progress has been made. It has been 15 months since I started this project and the suspense is killing me...

Here's a shot of big Perry working his magic on the wastegate dumps. As you can see I caught him by surprise:


Aeromotive fuel regulator mounted:


Wilwood master mounted and plumbed/KAIZEN coil covers installed:





Wastegates cut-in and installed along with the radiator plumbing mock-up:

sick build. i had toxics on my CTSV and thought they looked good. Hadn't really thought of them on a classic ride, but they look awesome just like everything else on this build.

Thanks!

I haven't seen Toxics on many vehicles at all. Thats why I chose them.

Killer build, what rear suspension is that?

Thanks!

The rear suspension is a custom Triangulated 4 Link. We used the stock 12 bolt and QA1 coil-overs.

Recently Joe brought this killer project over to me for wiring. Some of the features we are adding to this vehicle are: power windows, remote controlled door pop, full interior and extrerior lighting, retrotek smart shift, racepak data logger/dash to name just a few.

One of the items I'm most excited to work with is the ISIS Multiplex system. With this system, its going to add a bunch of cool new features such as push-button ign/start (like new intelligent-keyed vehicles), theatre dimming interior lights, etc. With the addition of the inMotion Power Cell the isis system will be able to control all 4 power windows, as well as a linear actuated trunk lid. The ISIS system also offers an ign/starter kill that is integrated into the vehicle and gives the system essentially an OEM style anti-theft.

Here are a few pics of the wiring so far:


This is the rear electrical panel. The powercell in the middle was placed there for mock-up and will be replaced with the inMotion module once we receive it.



Here is a preliminary fitment for the ISIS master cell, and front powercell. This glovebox was custom made by Joe Lutz of Hotrod Dynamics in order to house the two cells while clearing a Vintage Air system.



Another picture of the glovebox insert.


I will try to keep up on this thread as often as time allows. Its always cool to follow a project come together!

Nice!

I have some more toys coming your way this weekend...

[joejaze]

Got some pics of the Arizen front seats which I sent over to MCC so he could cover them the same as the rear seat.
