When I came to your shop and saw the truck last Saturday you guy's were still spreading spot putty, glaze and sanding. You are serious about taking it to Del Mar on the 30th. Fast, Fast, Fast!

ajgriffin · 03-23-2012, 01:44 AM

this truck is awesome! Quick question: where did you move the engine in reference to the stock location and by how much?

Amazing craftmanship! Thanks for all the pixs!

**N2TRUX** · 03-23-2012, 09:15 AM

Rob you and the No Limit crew have just raised the bar to a lofty height. If this thing performs as good as it looks your 2012 Goodguys title is in the bag.

Rob thanks for sharing this process with us, we are all rooting for you and want you to see you take this vehicle to the limits and back! Oh, I forgot, at your shop there is No Limit!

**robnolimit** · 03-23-2012, 03:09 PM

Thanks to everyone for all the possitive comments. Today is the mad thrash, again. Got guages today, on to wiring and assembly.

**67cheby** · 03-23-2012, 03:10 PM

will you run this one against your own Ford ? or is the ford retiring ?

Schwinn · 03-23-2012, 03:26 PM

I met you guys at Del Mar last Fall and I loved your truck. My buddy owns " Best of Show " and has all those crazy old Camaros that we race in Del Mar. Hopefully I will see you guys the end of this month. I will introduce myself. Can't wait to see this new truck.
I got a pic of your truck last fall.

Rob, looking good. My progress is extremely slow and your making me jealous as hell. Keep posting the awesome pictures.

JHT67 · 03-23-2012, 10:42 PM

Just read the whole build thread........wow, wow, and WOW! Making fantasy a reality. Love it. Did I read that they do autocross at the Columbus goodguys? If so I hope your there, I would love to see this in person, in action.

Hommer · 03-25-2012, 11:51 AM

Subscribed!!! Can't wait to see the grooves this thing cuts it the pavement! Your 400+ hours of work look like 4000. Great looking truck, don't think ya could make it look any better.

Is that Matt's car? those guys do great work. Trying like heck to make Del-Mar with the new truck.

**robnolimit** · 03-25-2012, 03:54 PM

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. This project is a bit out there. We're across the 500 hr mark now, almost to 600. Yes, it's sunday, just stopped to eat lunch, then back to work. Wiring, plumbing and some interior for me today. Sullivam isfinishing off the motor build, and Marcel is working on the hood and grill, and color sanding. Four days to go.

Schwinn · 03-25-2012, 05:04 PM

A answer to No-Limits..
I only know the owners Rocky and Dick and shop foreman John. I told Dick and John about your new truck yesterday and they said a Chevy? LOL..They loved your Ford and said you are a excellent driver and hoping to see you guys this March 30th weekend.If Matt is the asian kid then Yes this is his camaro.

gringoloco · 03-25-2012, 07:00 PM

Did I miss it? What's the power plant gonna be? Lookin good

**robnolimit** · 03-26-2012, 12:27 AM

We are building an LS chevy here in the shop, not our normal work area. An Iron 6.0 LQ4, bored .010", 10.5 to 1, H beam rods, mildly ported heads, Comp valve train, and a Pro Products intake and 101mm throttle body. We are told by 'those in the know' that this combo makes a solid 550 hp, and 500+ ft/lbs. This is our first LS build in the shop, and it is a learning experience for sure.

It has a power to weight ratio of 7.78 lbs/hp. If you shed 500 lbs, down to 3000 lbs, the ratio would be 6.67 lbs/hp. If it still weighed 3500 lbs you would need 525 hp. to keep up. So, saving weight is a lot cheaper than buying big motors, although, big motors sound really cool.

Here are some rotors. A stock 12" C-10 rotor weighs in at 29 lbs. (not shown.) A 12" impalla rotor, left, is 1" thick and weighs 26 lbs. The 12" wilwood w/aluminum hub, for a camaro, is only .812 thick, and weighs in at 17 lbs. On the right, is a wide 5 hub and 12" x 1 1/4" wave rotor, it weighs 13 lbs. I am really taking a hard look at this wide 5 stuff, but for us it has two problems. 1. must use custom fabricated spindles. 2. NO BODY makes 18" wide 5 billit wheels. - But SEMA is coming up soon, and there will be lots of people to talk to.

Rob check with Race Technologies in Tustin. You can go with a GT style 2 pc brake rotor and they are much lighter weight than the factory pieces. Yep no one makes an 18" wheel for the 5 wide bolt pattern unless you decide to make your own wheels.

Ooooooh. Niiiiice. I just fell in love with this truck all over again... Pending cam, it should make those numbers no problem. Careful, you may never want to build a traditional small block again...

Wow.... I assumed it was going to be an LS2 6.0 for the weight savings.

**robnolimit** · 03-26-2012, 03:17 PM

We heard to many things about the cranks moving around in th aluminum block. Then, when I asked the pros about a 150 shot of nitrous, they all said to go with the iron block. 65 lb heavier. Guess I'll have to switch to light beer.

Nsanehotrodz · 03-27-2012, 06:58 PM

Is it done yet?
