looking good man. I like that rear bumper. cant wait to see those wheels together. HArd to tell what they look like for sure, but it looks like a good start

white97ex · 03-23-2006, 09:39 PM

I'll try and get some better pictures

white97ex · 03-24-2006, 11:20 PM

alright guys. How about some 15" Baer Brake Rotors. I know, I know, 15 inches is quite overkill. But I needed something to fill up the wheels. lol let me know what you think The rotor will be a two peice design. The bottom piece which you see here, is the back of the rotor and the "vents" and then there will be a top piece will be drilled to match the bottom piece.

Wow, impressive! Are the rotors going to be individually made or will you somehow cast them?

white97ex · 03-25-2006, 12:24 AM

they will be cast in resin. That way each one is identical....plus that was a lot of work to repeat 4 times.

Dean23 · 03-25-2006, 10:35 AM

wow great job on those rotors. cant wait to see those all done. I can see you having lots of requests for your cool parts

Alright, I managed a little break in my school work. I got started on the new subframe. Did a little work on the hub mount for the wheels. And I've progressed on the engine. I am much happier with this version than the last. I have found some decent block shots of an LSX. I sent a set of wheels to Sweden to have some sleeves machined, Hopefully those will be back in the next month or two. No rush though Fredrik. Comments are more than wlecome!

great work!!!!! i love how it looks so far keep up the awesome work

AstroRide44 · 04-14-2006, 12:02 PM

are we looking at the face of the wheel or the back of it?

JTRACING · 04-14-2006, 04:07 PM

looking Great!!

COZMO6476 · 04-14-2006, 04:54 PM

Impressive Work you've done. Ill be keeping an eye out for progress. thanks for sharing

white97ex · 04-14-2006, 09:02 PM

Thanks for the comments. That is the face of the wheel. If you are state side, and keep up with Popular Hot Rodding Magazine, that is a similar design to the wheels on the Cuda that was on the newsstand cover last month. DukeMan is working on machining me some sleeves. Once they arrive, I will begin creating the tires, with the help of GTMike400.

I've only got about 3 or 4 weeks of class left, once it lets out, expect to see some real progress on this.

Hey this is looking very awesome so far. I can't wait until you get more time to work on it.

You and me both. The block Is getting REALLY close to where I want it. There are a few imperfections. I was planning on casting and selling copies. But I'm not sure how good the finished product is going to look. I've also got to rethink my method for creating the heads. The subframe wont progress much further until I get the wheels, and figure out the suspension. I want to make sure everything clears the ground. I was looking at my T-56 last night, and got to thinking that It wasn't quite right. I need to spend some time looking for some new pictures and with new measurements to double check and make sure that it is correct before I spend anymore time on it.

Color. I am thinking two tone with sunset orange pearl (think late model F-body) and black.
