This is cool. The body is off it's original pan, and when the body gasket was removed, you can see the original paint.
Note the clean threads in the bolt holes. This is a 50 year old car!

No, I'm just pointing out that his talents are multi-dimensional.

OK I guess you can stay on then if you can guess the cross drilled hole pattern.

Are you keeping the body as is ? Or is it going to be painted ?
Gary

sweet i cant wait.... to see it sit'n on the ground...
-
The body will stay as is. I plan to do a couple of things to the firewall and up front but thats it. Some things are just too cool to paint....... ;)
-
Wow Jim, Great work!!
Glad to hear the Body is staying the same
i love the look of that car!!! :rockon:
-
That thing is going to be awesome!
-
THAT THING IS INSANE!!!!!!! How does a staging break work?? Different than line lock obviously, is it to preload the clutch at the line?
-
Id like to buy one of those staging brakes, can it be used a steering brake?
Can i buy them at your store?
I also need one of those jamar park locks..

Hey Chris, Give me a call at the shop and I can explain in more detail what would work best for you. Yes, the staging break is for loading the drivetrain and building boost on the line. Thanks Matt, for the interest in the car. TJ

jim if you are using the aux box or the rpm conector for additional data inputs watch where you run the LM1 components and wiring for it.i've had to relocate my wiring and added surge absorbers and a filter capaciter to help eliminate stray voltages showing up on my recorderd data for various components.
this will give some part #'s and ideas

Geoff told me to come here and look at this project and I am floored! This is going to be an amazing piece of work. Cant wait to see how it runs!
What is the plans for engine management?
Good job! :rockon:
-
Hey Dave , Thank-u for the kind words and the interest in the car. I will be using Mega-squirt 3.0 v2 for the engine management. Sorry I took so long to reply but we have been having problems with the site. I just mounted the brain and relay board in the car yesterday. I want to get a little more done and then I will do another update. I am waiting on wheels (8 week build time) and a few other things and then the pan should be ready for the body. I have to narrow the axles and make a custom length shift rod ect. ect. The body should go on in jan. Thanks TJ

What's the latest from Clamtoo?
-
i just finished powdercoating some more stuff for it last night.
i believe when he gets these parts back it will be rolling again.
but Jim will have to confirm that
(thats rolling not running :D )
-
I luv u Rusty.... :wub: Yes, old clamtooth should have a rolling pan by this weekend! I am still waiting for my back rims..(now thats painful) I will do a update as soon as I get the parts installed (few days). Back rims could still be 2 weeks so I am going to have to find something in a chevy bolt pattern to put on the back so I can roll it around. I have a certain black oval coming in at the end of the month, (few days) to finally be finished off. We will also have to get some pics of that car up on the site...2332, Berg 52's......killer! I hope The Klam doesn't mind sharing his cave........ :o :lol:
