Projects Maximum Evil is born.

I hate Camero's ...

 

I second that

So when are you going to build that skinny tire

 

Probably when I find another Weiand Banger intake like the one I lost last week on ebay.

 

You've never street raced before.....have you?

"Wanna run?"
"Sure, whatcha got?"
"Oh, just a stock Camaro with an high flow intake...that's all"
"OK....say for $50?"
"How 'bout $200?"
"Uhmmmm.....can I look over your car?"
"No."

 

Wicked man

 

looks like we may have ourselves an automobile race.

 

FWIW the LS1 only came in the Camaro from 1998 - 2002, a 1997 Camaro Z/28 would have an iron block LT1.

 

And you've never met Joe-Bob. It's stock. It wouldn't matter if it wasn't. No 3800lb car is going to take something out of this shop. Big talk, or science? Joe-Bob will be the judge.

 

I love it.

 

My '00 Camaro was lightened to 3100 w/o driver with a 9" and 6 pt rollcage and a T400. Stock is ~3400 - 3475.

 

Joe-Bob sounds like a big guy.....hahaha....

Go get 'em Kevin!

 

Looking sweeeeeeeeet!

I love chopped T's but Im to darn tall.

 

sounds like as good a reason as any to build a bad ass machine.....lol
I know my own T at 1800 lbs will boil the hides if you put your foot to much into it at the launch, better learn how to roll it out.

 

good luck guys, i'm rootin for ya.

I got alot of shit talk from guys in Civics, Camaros, Mustangs, a few corvettes, etc. on me and the pops '35 Ford. Rarely did they ever have anything under the hood and rarely do they ever wanna race after they find out what we got (they usually spew all the details about their car before you say anything about your own). I've come across few people who can "talk the talk, and even less who can walk the walk" (for lack of better words)

 

That needs to be on HRCC's shop wall.

 

Stock up on beer and popcorn this sounds like it is going to be fun. Had to suscribe to the thread so I don't loose it.

 

And what kind of power are these 3800 lb. cars running? 1200-1500 hp? The Black Car (TM) weighs 3080 lbs. and makes 930 hp, runs 8.48 at 153.05. At a tenth per 100 lbs, well, you can all do the math.

The point here is not to start a weight-speed pissing match. So far, we've been able to not "boil the hides" on some other cars. Transfer of weight, proper suspension geometry, spring rate, etc. is all key to hook. The point is to hand a newer car owning shit talker his ass-holieoh.

 

The Black Car is wicked fast, no doubt. I don't think I have any pics of it.

 

Awesome!! You guys are having way to much fun...

Any chance Maximum Evil will make an appearance at the Pileup? Like over in the project section? Sure looks tuff!

 

This is gonna be epic!

Thanks Lucky. Yep, we're hoping to have it a roller for the HCPU. Maybe even the funny car cage installed.

 

HotRodchassis- The cars looking great, I just chopped my 27 last night. My first chop. Do you have any more pictures of the chop? like how the pillars fit together and everything, The top part of the roof is about a half inch wider than the bottom once I sat it back on the body. How do you correct this, do I have to section the roof part or just use a porta power and just push them out to match back up?

Thanks for any help!

A square top chop isn't that hard, but there are a ton of different ways of doing it. Some chop the front pillar in the middle and the slice and spread the top and bottom sections and then weld them up. Some cut the rivets that hold the upper sill (piece over the door) to the front pillar and then just cut the front pillar down. I'm sure there are several people on the board that would post several different ways of chopping your car. I could suggest starting another thread with photographs of what you've already done and ask for advice. It's hard for me to give you advice without knowing how much you've chopped out, where you chopped each section, and what it looks like now. Hope this helps.

 

HELL YEAH!!!

 

We've got the front end on, and it's on it's own front wheels. We also located a pair of NOS Avon 3.50-18 H rated Speed Masters for the hoops.



The rear slicks came in also, and now with the front end in, we're ready to go on the building the Double Live Gonzo rear axle so it'll plant the skins.

 

Anything noteworthy to update us with?

 

Can you show some close up shots of that front engine plate/mount?? And also some pics of this "black car".... Thanks

 

Yep. I've got the rear end fabricated and have been installing the rear suspension. The seats are mounted. And if Moser comes through and the axle shafts come in tomorrows UPS, it'll be on it's own wheels, and at the Pile Up in our booth! I'm going to try to get some of the cage in before the show, we'll see. I'll post some photographs later tonight.

 

Ok, here are some photographs of what's been done.

Rear axle in progress:



Some welding:


Seats mounted:




Started the cage. This is what I got done last night:









Here's a shot of the rear suspension:
