C4 Corvette build for Superstock I-J-K - Page 9

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind words. Ed is correct on the SS/I class. I did run it in GT/J at the sports, Stephen Belanger and I decided to run each other versus the combo. I realize it wasn't a good trade off weight vs. index, but that okay. We actually had a pretty good race.

Well, I have been lazy on my posts here. I have some numbers from Joliet, looks like I'm going the right way.

Attention: Larry Woodfin, I never heard back as to whether or not you found these pictures. I know you visit the build segment, so here it is.

My son David, just finished his portion of David Tinchers 1995 Corvette build. He made many changes to this Corvette verses mine. I might be able to get some pictures of it, if you need some other ideas for your build.

I am pleased with the running of my Corvette. I did finally get down the track at a 9.52 @ bowling green last of August. I am pleased with that and have hopes of my L-98 being better. I still have the LT-1 in it.

Happy New Year

not sure how I missed this. Amazing car and give me lots of ideas for mine, should I go super stock with it. The front brakes are cool.

Ernie Neal · 01-10-2018, 11:26 PM

Chad, I appreciate the comments.

The Mark Williams brakes are not offered. Let me know if you go this route. I can direct you to parts and pieces. There is a custom spindle involved and some water-jet pieces I drew up on acad and David Tincher cut them out for me. The company he works for does custom cutting. We dropped the spindle almost 1/2" while in the process. I can tell you what brake kit to order also. Tincher had a bracket Corvette once and used Aerospace on it, but really likes the Mark Williams.

My son just completed a build for David Tincher and they utilized these brakes as well. They made a lot of changes to their build. It is way cool. It should be ready for the beginning of the 2018 season.
I have more photos, that could be shared. I had that open heart surgery 1 year tomorrow and took time to get these posted during that down time.

I'm glad I built it. I also have an L-98 engine, that will go in sometime this season.

I posted a photo from this event last year. Is it okay if I repeat?
