Recent pics of my setup... It has recently been pulled appart, and is now at Rhodes Custom Auto getting the cage upgraded to 25.5 spec.

Nice setup you got there. May I ask what shifter that is in the third pic? Thanks, Baron

 

Looks Good. Rhodes Customs does excellent work.

 

I need to get up there and check it out. I saw the wheel well work. Very SWEET!! I'm waiting my turn after the white Mustang is finished.

 

wow nice job man. looks real good and i guess there is no passenger in your ride. -lol

 

Thanks, the shifter is a pistol grip quarter stick.


No passenger needed where I'm going



That white mustang is almost finished... What was your name again?


Rhodes Custom Auto does some of the best work around hand's down! Ron And Spence are very talented and helpfull. I am hoping to run well this year with there support. We are looking to lay down some big numbers this year, so stay tuned!

can i get some pics from the drivers seat of your view out the car with the switches, cage and guages? i'm trying to figure out how i want to place the 5 or 6 switches i want in my camaro. not to mention i already have 7 autometer guages around the car too. this adds up quick in price doesn't it

 

Bond, James Bond. Who do you think it is crack head???

Surely not the one who's going to give you any competition this year....LOL

 

Unfortunately, the car is appart or I would take some pics for ya.
A friend of mine has a similar setup, I'll try to contact him to take a few pics.

DonB.

P.S. Everything adds up quick now!

 

looking good man... cant wait to see it make an 8sec pass this year....

 

GAWD I love seeing bad-azz 3rdgens!!! - Nothing like a race built f-body to get your blood pumping...

 

ROTFLMAO. THAT has got to be the understatement of the year.

My wife used my computer a while back and found my spreadsheet I keep for insurance with everything I've spent on my car. After that we had our own little "ice age" around here for a while.

2 questions for ya. Brakes? Manual conversion? I'm leaning towards a hydraboost. Also, how did you do the linkage to your TB? Looks like you used the stock TPI cable. I'm using a Ford cable right now and don't like it. Any pics?

Thanks

96BlownSSragtop,

I am running manual brakes, all piesce were bought through Ed Quay Race Cars. That makes it a dirrect bolt in. We made all custom brake lines for my setup, but Ed Quay supplies you with all adaptors to make it a "bolt on".

I am using the factory throttle cable, I made a custom bracket to make everything work. The ford throttle body has a very weak spring, and the pedal was too light, so I had to add another spring to the setup.

DonB.

 

I never even thought about EQ. I'll check it out. I here ya on the weak spring. I actually had a problem with the throttle blade closing all the way.

You and Mr. Bond have got some impressive rides. I wish I was closer to the boys at Rhodes. Nobody worth a crap around here to do stuff like that. The 4 hour drive to Chicago is my saving grace.

Chris

 

That looks pretty awesome Don! Keep up the good work.
