reboot04

Thanks. All of the original accessory drive parts stayed with the original owner. The color is a custom mix. We sprayed some of the inner panels week before last:

We have decided to go a different way with the intake but you can call Kinsler for more information on the one in the pictures here. The traction control is coming together and I will be posting more on it when all of the pieces have fallen in place. The two key bits that make it possible are the ATS AFX front spindles that use C5 'vette hubs and maintain the wheel speed sensors as well as these killer axles that Mark Williams built for us that incorporate ABS reluctors from a late model Mustang:

Manual brakes from Tilton - we are using their 900-Series pedal assembly with CV billet remote reservoirs.



If you like the calipers, you'll love the rotors:

Thanks. That is the plan right now. If everything comes together we hope to hit one or two open highway races this summer but the planets have to align for that to work out. Hopefully we can at least make one to shake the car out.

One Lap is a fantastic event. Two of my friends did it a couple years ago. I really want to give it a go.

reboot04

The paint is BASF Diamont bc/cc. The underside, subframe, and rad support are Glasurit Solid 55.

I'm sure it will be sweet with the fresh paint and those HRE Performance Comp20's but whats wrong with bringing back that centerline/rally-fat-skinny Barney purple look? LOL. Seriously, that is a work of art. Simply beautiful.

its hard to tell from that pic but trust me u do not want those studs touching those reluctor wheels. it will throw the sensors into a hissy fit of godlike proportions. ask me how i know nothing like loosing virtually all braking because the sensors are picking up a signal that the wheels are doing something diff then what the car is actually doing.

reboot04

It doesn't look like it in the pictures but there is some (but not lots of) clearance between the reluctor wheel and the studs. Fortunately, all the reluctors will be doing is working with the traction control and has no influence on braking. Some creativity with the pickup mounting point is required but hopefully it will all work together as planned.

good deal. on the 4th gen it throws the car into low traction mode and it will only hold that for a few minutes before it kills abs operation completely and u get to fight it all the way to where u are going

My fabricator really IS that good. He does all the welding by hand on a Miller Dynasty 200 DX TIG machine. We weld the oil pans on the same machine. Jim's car really is one of the nicest Camaros I've ever seen, and we are lucky to provide such awesome parts for his car (AP brakes, LS7 install parts, T56 install parts, full front suspension, HRE wheels etc) that we can't wait until it gets here for the Silver State Challenge.

Great work Jim, keep it up.
