baddgass Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Trying to make the doors close nicely and stright, i use a set of super magnets in the door jams.
LAone Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 this one looks mean. im digging the craftmanship. keep it going
Dragracer Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 The magnets sound like a good idea, I noticed that Wayne & a couple of other guys used the magnets on their P/M builds.
Modelsbyroni Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 getting great ideas from this build. the magnets r a great idea. keep up the great work.
stump Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Derrick, this is smokin' mate.................... And yep, diggin' this magnet idea a whole lot.....so simple, concealed and perfect for the job.

Yes your right, i saw it on one of are brothers build, so i use it.( and it works great! ) Well i'm work on the last parts to finish the chassis, like battery hold down, parachutes mount & anchor, fire bottle clamps, master cylinder clutch and brake pedal, gas pedal and some other little thing. And then on to the clean-up work and paint. I'll have some pics. soon. Thanks all for checking out the build.
baddgass Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 My frist shot at chutes mount & anchor, like to know what you thing.
Mooneyzs Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Derrick....this camaro is just bad to the bone. Your door and hinge work look great. I also like the idea of using the magnets. Also the work on the parachute brackets is awesome. This ehole build is coming together.

Rob Z Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Just my opinion Derrick but, I think they look INSANELY well done... Great work bro...

stump Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Derrick, super as always mate. I'm thinking that chute mount looks good enough. IF anything, it may be a tad high...(?) It could get some turbulence up there. Most I see have them tucked down below the wing, but I will admit, I have not looked at many with the Fueler wing.. Just a thought.....

That was my sentiments as well, maybe up a bit to high and out to far. Make those adjustments and you should be right in alignment. The chute bags are pretty close to the rear lip of the trunk even with a high wing if I recall.

The chute bags are pretty close to the rear lip of the trunk even with a high wing if I recall. Thanx for all the good advise guys. I mover the chute setup down and choser to the bumpper. I thing it looks a lot better. Well working on sanding the frame and puting in the last bits, and then going to paint.
eviltwincustoms Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 That looks much better, only issue is the angle the bracket is sitting for the chutes... Hope you don't mind me showing some pics. These aren't a 70 camaro, but it should give you the idea of where they sit and at what angle. The big thing that I see that you are also missing are the aluminum Cans out the back of the Chute. Remember there is a big spring in the can or chute bag that when opened it kicks the parachute out away from the car. here is a straight on from the back view. Hope this helps out.
