This is the optima Billet battery tray that Ron I worked on. I have a few left but the good news is it looks like Custom Works Products will be selling these.

2013 09-05 2nd Chance Camaro - Custom Works Products Carbon Fiber Valve Covers

www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Afternoon,


Sticking with the new Carbon Fiber Theme under the hood and advice from the Real Bob Johnson we decided to swap the Edelbrock
Coil Covers for a set of Custom Works Carbon Fiber Valve Covers for Sema this year.




The metal bracket will allow us to mount the ls1 coils directly on the valve covers to keep things simple.

Good Morning All,

I'm starting getting worried that this car might be turning out nicer then I want it to. Kenny & the guys are turning my driver into a really
nice driver and that wasn't suppose to happen till after we changed out the front subframe and did the crazy interior modifications.



We are still planning to add a red pin stripe line around the black on the hood




and the first rendering that Carter did. Sure would have been a lot less work

The goal was to build the car in baby steps - but like you said they take on a mind of there own.

Good Afternoon,

Moving to the Sound System I wanted to do something simple for this version of the car. I asked Victor Fulton if he would do a
rendering of the idea or Vision as Bob said that I had for the package tray. My goal was to have something similar to the 5th
generation Camaro with a 3rd brake light. I think Victor nailed it.





Right now we are looking at using a iTouch for the source and possible using the Kicker PX i50.2 Controller to power the speakers.






I picked up a set of Kicker 6" Round 3 way speakers for the front kick panels and a set of 6 x 9's for the rear. Nothing to fancy
because version 2 of the interior is going to raise the bar.








We didn't want to reinvent the wheel so I purchase a set of fiberglass kick panels from a gentleman on
www.pro-touring.com. These are very nice and Kenny tells me that they fit perfectly.


https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/7...-Panels-FS-(AR)








In order to do the least amount of fabrication work we ordered up a Marquez fiberglass package tray from the guys at www.camarocentral.com
this will greatly reduce the amount of fabrication time at the interior shop. However, they will still have to build the center section for the 3rd brake light.





The other option for the source would be from Secret Audio. This being 4 channels vs the 2 channels that the Kicker version offers

Good Afternoon,


The real Bob John suggested that I put the Carbon Fiber Valve covers on the car now. However I am certain that he is going to say
something about me covering them up with the factory coils. We are hoping to get the billet coil covers but it's not looking good.
Maybe I will order up the red MSD Coils to keep the red theme going.

Your build is coming along nice.I like that fiberglass package tray. Do you know if it sets right on top of the stock metal one? Cant wait to see your car finished.

Good Afternoon,


Slight change in the direction of the build. Kenny didn't like the wheel with the new paint so off came the wheels and a new
set was quickly shipped from the Guys at Billet Specialties. Of course Carter did a couple quick rendering with the new
wheels to give us a quick visual of how the car would look.





Just trying to make sure I keep the pictures Cell Phone quality I used my iphone 4 to snap this picture before I shipped them to Kenny.





and yes Kenny mounted them the day they got there.
