All is clear using the Camero bow-tie wing which, besides the great looks, visability was one of the benefits of using it. The original or the stock wing would have been a issues.

Troy,

Just wanted to say how much i enjoyed meeting you at Daytona.



As awesome as your car was i have to say i was more impressed by you as a person. Just a really genuine guy, and there are not to many people like that out there.

(L to R, Troyboy, Me aka exoticse, Jscott1)


Looking forward to meeting up with you and hopefully Curly again at the Choptop reunion 2 !!

Thanks for the kind words Tony, I had a blast at Daytona and It was mostly due to all of the great people that I had the chance to meet. I hope to see you and the Daytona crew at upcoming shows and events.

New tips for the Union,

Can you get a sound clip before and after?

wow thats beautiful!!

Wow...that's pretty.

------------------

Hey Troy, the car looks better than great. I've been gone a while...any decisions on color that i missed? Timeline? And by the way....i think i speak for all of us here, in case it wasnt already said, that some good videos with good sound would be soooo perfect to cap off this build once completed. Heck, i'd even BUY a well made video, ala Motor Trend TV style. Have a good one!

The car looks great so far... any updates?

Archie are the new tips on? I'm trying to set a pickup date for the end of the month, or first week in may.

We're putting the tips in now. The tips are a bit taller than the opening, so we're modifying the rear facia exhaust openings right now.

Pics soon.

Archie

Archie,

Where did you get the brackets for the C5 calipers? Did you made them? If so how much or where can I get some.

Thanks Art.

These are some in process pictures of the new exhaust opening. Remember that there is some filling & shaping that we have to do yet.









Archie

Troy, give me a call tomorrow if you can.

Here's a few pics of the new exhaust tips & remolded rear bumper exhaust openings.









Anyone who's been reading PFF for the last 6 weeks or so knows that the Perfect Union was the most photographed car at the Daytona Show.

Troy has decided to delay his picking up of his car at our place until the Dells Show is over. Which leads me to announce here that Troy & his wife will be driving in to attend the Dells Show & we will be showing The Perfect Union at that show too.

quote Originally posted by Archie: haha yes, it will be all one color. The interior will not be finished because Curley has someone else that's going to do the interior. He also has someone else doing the bigger brakes & suspension. But the exterior of the car will be presentable. Curley plans to have some more tweeking to the exterior of the car after the Dells show & before he picks it up in September at the Chop Top Reunion. Archie

Archie, are you going to Carlisle this year? Maybe you can take so us North Eastern state guys can see it.

After the dells "The Perfect Union" will make it's way home to L.I. New York. I will make many trips to CT to see friends off of rt.684 and rt.84.

Hey, cool. You used the ones similar to those. They look good. I didn't realize the size would be off that much from the opening, but it looks like Archie & crew did a great job of making the tips look like they belong there.

WOW that looks nice!

Archie can you post sound clips of the exhaust with the new tips?

quote Originally posted by troyboy: Archie can you post sound clips of the exhaust with the new tips?

I'll try to do that tomorrow, I'll have to do it indoors though as we have the car torn apart for other work.

Archie

Let me know when you are in CT and where. Maybe when can get together to see your car.

Thanks Troy! Sounds great

Sound like a completely different car. What a difference. Thats money well spent. Beautiful work everyone.

Hey, that sounds just like it sounded when I recorded it today.

I recorded it on my digital camera & it came out pretty good.

I guess I gotta figure out how to post videos up on youtube so I can do this more often.

If I can figure out how to post the videos, Then I'll have to post some videos of the test drives.

Archie

Just a little update for those that care.

We put the engine in this car more than a year ago. We've had it running for a long time & have moved it in & out of the shop many times. I even drove the car around a little at the Daytona Show.

We never had a chance to really start doing the official test driving of the car, because the body has always been in some state of transition from ugly duckling to what we have today.

But today was the day, we finally started doing the official test driving today. Got in about 20 miles & all is right with the world.

Wow how did I miss this post? Please do tell, well only if it's good news

Whats new Archie ? any updates? Only 1 week before the Dells!!

quote Originally posted by troyboy: Whats new Archie ? any updates? Only 1 week before the Dells!!

It's all good.

We got the new A/C compressor today & installed it & it works fine.

I took it for an extended ride today & it feels good. Got the guys working tomorrow to get ready for the Dell's weekend.

The only thing, left to do on that car is to put some screens in the vents/scoops where you want them.

Give me a call or drop me an email on that subject as soon as you can.

Archie

Archie:

If you have time I'd be interested in seeing how you attach the screens to the intakes and scoops.

Thanks
Nolan

Bump. Because---good threads should never die.

Troy, the guy called & the trailer will be here this afternoon.
