• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    The Last American Indian an FWD Ground Pounder

    I would continue if I thought there was an interest! As there are even more interesting parts of the build than what I have presented so far, but it appears the only thing that interests all of you is nonsensical garbage. Thus my point! It’s about heart, desire & ability! No offense, but it...

    This is the second version. A modification of the fist.

    So how does this tie into the ram air/NACA duct induction? I will step through that as soon as I finish the splitter build. Most of this is self explanatory, so I will detail where needed. This is the first style splitter.

    The Last American Indian an FWD Ground Pounder

    Building a splitter that actually works as a splitter & is an enhancement to the NACA duct Ram air function took some engineering & work! Plus wanting it to enhance the overall front end look! This final design developed over about a 8 month period. First of all I wanted a splitter that would...

    A Little Surprised!

    While much of that is true, it’s always been that way in one form or another. I owned a “69” Z/28 from 1969 till 2004 & a 1974 Z/28 from “74” to “04”. Both were rebuilt more than once. And trust me in 1990 parts for those cars were just as hard to come as W2 parts are. Yet I could still find...

    Picture #2 shows the original opening of the SD air dam to be increased in size. Picture #4 shows that increase. This larger opening will be used as a secondary enhancement to the ram air based on Bernoulli’s principles.. The third picture is the basic finished end of the two parts.

    The first picture, these screws are attaching screws for the aluminum plate. Picture #2 is the screw coming through from the front by the fog light area. This screw pulls the SD air dam tight to the OEM cover. Picture #3. The black caulked areas are the heads of the screws that pull the SD air...

    So first mount the OEM cover as it would normally be installed. Next you are going to cut off the end of each side of the SD air dam. Looking at it from the back face, not the side. Cut off the end. In doing this correctly you will not shorten its length. At this point, leaving the two side tape...

    So here is the start of the build.

    The Last American Indian an FWD Ground Pounder

    The front cover, the SD air dam & the front splitter are somewhat complex from a build standpoint. To make the OEM front cover & the SD air dam one homogeneous unit will take some time. It will require assembly & disassembly more than once on the car to get the proper layout of the assembly. The...

    Rims, Rubber. Wheels increased from 16”X6.5” to 18”X8” & tires went from 225/60r16 to 245/45r18. As mentioned the front track went from 61.7 inch to 64.5 & the rear track went from 61.1 inch to 64.5! This adds substantial stability to cornering. Additionally the increase in rim & tire size...

    The Last American Indian an FWD Ground Pounder

    Now I’ll shift for the moment to some body components. I’ve seen many people put wider wheels & tires on both the front & rear. But no one seems to care that it looks odd! These protrude past the lower parts of the covers! So I addressed this in the front & rear. First I will show the rear...
