hoov100 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 ok, so the time has come where me and my brother in law are both building some bitchin projects, he has a 700HP 760TQ NA and 1000HP 1100TQ w/NOS and im building a circle track prepped sbc which is going to power a 79 z28 road race prepped solid axle camaro, ill get pics of both cars the next time i go to storage, but you can expect both cars to be driven on the street running pump gas... BBC somewhat built small block..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 alright, no news is good news right? the small block is being run in a friends race car tonight at havasu speedway and well nobody has called me to say it blew up! but hopefully i can get one of the race cars out of the garage so i can bring home the 79 and finally get some pics of it.

hoov100 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 so after two hours and five pounds of bondo removed i opted to go with a set of fiberglass rear 1/4's this should make life much easier. also been thinking about getting a VIN for it and driving it on the street.

hoov100 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 alright, new skin is on, now all i have to do is make fasteners to hold the trunk on and make some frames for the fiberglass doors, then just mount the front fenders, trim the hood and put a nose on it, then fiberglass everything smooth. that and put some homemade control arms on it..... my supposed helpers who stand around an drink..... big f-n rear brakes!!!!!

hoov100 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 ok doors are kinda mounted, well atleast one is, dont worry the pin is stronger then the door, but amazingly is how easy things where once we figured out how to go about making road race doors, well that and we finally mounted the trunk lid, we bought a 22 gallon fuel cell. and i have the seats, but i have to mount them... new "secrete" upper tubular control arms. oh and heres the 9" ford housing i scored for $50 at the junkyard..

hoov100 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 alrightt, after a week of screwing around i finally got the hard crap done!!! one of these things is not like the other....... gotta love a 360* splined quick release... front suspension is apart for rebuilding... (hoping for tubular lower control arms!!) the upper control arms that "dont exist" in other words a set of custom upper control arms... and yes the bike is still around..

hoov100 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 ok another day another bunch of crappy pics... our "hi tech, 300mph 40g approved craftsman racing seat" but i felt it somewhat necsasery to remove the dash and replace the M/C's along with all new wiring. and another batch of some goodies!!! (their is some more, but i cant find it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 ok the old camera took a dive, and well not much progress has been made in my mind anyway. (i didnt take these pics as they are pure crap) fuel mount isnt very safe, but i have almost no say in that department. woohoo! for the amateurs driving the car.

hoov100 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 oh yeah, nothing broke on the car at the autocross, except for the power steering resevoir started leaking, but other then that it still lives! might be getting a new posi instead of a spool and we will me putting in a steering quickener and maybe a front body too.

hoov100 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 alright, little update, we found are getting a one piece fiberglass camaro front body section for it, we found the brake bias problem to be that their is no balance bar between the two master cylinders, so we are going to go order one, hopefully if money comes up, we can order a bolt on 4-link for the rear end and convert to coils in the back. i am also attempting to get a fabricated coil over/control arm setup from an ARCA type race car. nothing really else happening, i might be putting it on the street though!
