just another S-Chassis retarded build thread...

[DownSouthSlider]

havent been on here in a long time. some of you might remember my car and that it looked like this..



not too long after that i added some more aero. we dont use zipties round these parts.



and some drift spares...



then i bought this piece of crap. and it sat in my garage for almost 2 years...


because the KA didnt put out enough smoke...see


ehhh went bricks and 5 lug with stang reps...yea i know 10.5 in the rear with a bone stock ka. no way you can do that.
two mildy build SR's chasing me at our local skidpad....the last night i drove my car before it went motorless in the garage for a year

***WARNING***might not be for the faint at heart...

What LS is that? LS1? Make sure you abuse this thread with pics!

[GoTRicEo0]

sexy.

[DownSouthSlider]

yea its a LS1 out of a 99 camaro ss. about the fitment, the sikky kit is pretty spot on so we shouldnt have many problems. as much money as i spent there better not be. and yes there will be plenty of pictures for all to see!

[240sxAli4Life]

Sweet cant wait for end result. Post up some links to youtube videos as well when you get it started.

[DownSouthSlider]

will do trust me!

[DownSouthSlider]

ok well the awesome wet weather we have been having lately really slowed us down a bit. small update. TRUST ME I KNOW THIS IS TAKING FOREVER BUT WE DONT HAVE TIME TO WORK ON IT EVERYDAY.

mounting the fenders,skirts and front bumper with the fastners...




made some brackets with cut off fender pieces to mount the fenders...


pops working his magic. super strong now.


started painting today finally. just sprayed some black on the parts that needed it. will bag off the black area and spray all the blue pieces sometime during the week or weekend weather permitting.




s*** picture but you get the idea...


crash bar time. all three are finished but no need to post pictures of them all. used a silver for base and then sprayed some weird green over it. tried matching the SIKKY green but who knows what happened. oh well no biggie this green is staying.





hopefully this weekend the engine bay and everything else will be painted then we will be putting the motor in! getting closer....

[DownSouthSlider]

small update. everything is just about done being painted. motor is so close to going in now.









some wrinkle finish for the dash...


thats all for now

[badbob2121]

wow, i dont know how i missed this build, maybe the title distracted me...

top notch work, very impressive

[Caveit77777]

This build is ballin haha. Seriously though. Keep making good updates

[240TKE128]

AMAZING is all i got to say.

[DownSouthSlider]

lol thanks dudes...hope to have a real good update this weekend.

[DownSouthSlider]

did some things today on the car...hopefully do more tomorrow



bumper is just about complete. little buffing and itll be just right, but once the car is back together we are going to run the buffer across the whole car.


the green we painted on the crash bars just wasent cutting it.



the under side of one of the hoods we have. gonna do the same to the other one as well.


who thinks they know what my dad has up his sleeve with this picture here???


i think tomorrow we are going to put the front end back together, rivit in the fastners now that everything is painted. and start messing with the tunnel, put the new oil pan and such on the motor and get it ready for install. might have the damn motor in next weekend!

[SBC 240Z]

I see mar-glass in the background so I'm assuming some kind of scoop for the hood eh? What part of Florida are you in?

[DownSouthSlider]

ft lauderdale. and yes its for the roof since we removed the sunroof. it will be function-able of course.


ok so we got the motor and transmission pretty much ready to go in the car. hopefully one night the week or the weekend!

i didnt care as much to do so but pops was set on painting stuff on the motor lol





swapped out the oil pans/pick ups,etc.


thats it for now. hopefully the damn thing will in the car by next weekend

[DownSouthSlider]

well.....it finally happened today.

since we dont have a shop with a lift and all that fancy stuff yes the car stayed on the trailer. it aint a backyard build if you dont make things happen old school style. Motor and trans mounted, driveshaft fits right in, headers were some what of a breeze..it pays to spend money i guess!






sorry for the blurry pictures. :chair:

[SBC 240Z]

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one thousand thumbs up

[darens13]

awesome build!

[benz88]

I think you May want to brace the front of those strut towers more. Looks sick though.

[Idahos13]

Looks sick man!

[terry_240sx]

i wish i was on your level...haha
i like the quality work going into this!

[Adam240sx]

this is so legit!

[DownSouthSlider]

thanks dudes...

[DownSouthSlider]

finally got to pops house today. havent touched the car in two weeks. he was a busy bee while i was gone.

the roof scoop is just about done. needs some more fairing in and paint.



he made some rad (as he calls it) "Nascar style" hood hindges to go along with the "Nascar style" hood.



He also got all the body pieces fitted on the car. needs minor adjustments here and there but its good for now.




DONT MIND THE DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. JUST ON THERE TO ROLL THE CAR AROUND FOR THE MEAN TIME!

i am happy with the out come so far of the car. couldnt have done it without my pops being so motivated! i love that dude!

so still need a few things for it to be started up and tested out. hopefully within the next month or so we will be driving this thing! cant wait!!

need to order fans for the rad,
have to figure out exactly what we want to do about the wiring and computer,
plumb all the fuel lines,
get the clutch lines hooked up to the new slave and master
wire up headlights,tail lights, windows and stuff like that to the dash.


Thanks for looking yall
