C6 Corvette Build Updates + New Carbon Parts!

[@JaredR1996]

The more u upload the corvette, the more I’m getting hyped. This car is gonna be amazing. Keep it up Collette

[@gotthumbs2235]

Nick, really clean work on the trans tunnel. Great job. Would have loved to watch the process.

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Whoa!...the 2 Collettes scene was a trip!...haha...Cool shit on this Corvette Build!

[@mekkiz_]

Valve covers remind me of skittles, things looking sweet. Coming together nicely 👍

[@vernshahan2913]

I believe Taylor Ray is in the process of building one as his new drift car.

[@zector0]

I believe Collete is in the process of building one as her new drift car.

[@justanothergixxer6772]

Well that escalated quickly 😂 haven't seen collete here video's in a few months, since it got painted. All of a sudden the corvette is almost full FD spec 😆 epic! 👏👏

[@hyper8545]

Jeez everybody doing big corvette builds all of a sudden. Pretty dope 👌

[@daleruse7582]

Can't wait for the build to hit over drive. Knowing that you and Taylor Ray are doing similar builds can't to so see how each tackle each build.

[@KeepItReal2024]

Great video Collette you and everyone at the compound rock!

[@johnrowell942]

Thank for sharing how to measure for drive shafts and prop shaft. Nice carbon parts too.

[@ddevil4980]

Oh man never seen Collete give the look of death before. But when her brother said one man show, he definitely got it! 🤣

[@tomnorwid]

Hi Collete, you cease to amaze me with your mechanical aptitude and engineering knowledge. I thing this is going to be one of your best builds yet!! Cant wait to see it at the Freedom Factory.

[@DriftJesus]

Going to be such a rad car! you can totally run 1350 style joints on that angle. Needle bearing joints should actually never be at zero degrees because they need to rotate in the needles otherwise they'll wear prematurely

[@DownLow0099]

OMG hurry up and get this thing on the track!!! Can't wait to see it shred! 😁

[@gorgewashington1216]

carbon parts are going to make the car super sick looking cant wait the final result !

[@ColleteDavis]

Right! So good. And thanks 🙏

[@apeeric]

Collete! you should sand the dash down and res-spray it with some of your Translucent/colorshift/unicorn flake Clear so you not only can repair the dash but it will be even more custom and will match the whole theme of the car! would look absolutely badass and its really not hard to do with carbon. i sanded down the front splitter, rear trunk spoiler and interior carbon trim on my audi s4 and sprayed it with a "flat" clear to create the dry/matte carbon look.. it came out awesome! hopefully this helps make you feel more comfortable tackling the job ( your way over qualified for the job then i ever was) hahah you did an amazing job spraying the whole vette, this would be cake walk than compared to doin a whole car! hope to see a flaked out shimmering Carbon dash lady!!

[@shannonsprings8335]

Yes! Looking awesome

Thanks Collete!

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Taylor Ray will be able to use this info. He’s doing the same thing but not quite as far along in his build. Super similar builds.

[@stigwelder6142]

Na, Taylor will use the FDF kit that's just been developed

[@nate7029]

Legit living my dream

[@kennydidntdie6370]

Great thing is you really dont have to worry about the shifter being behind you because you get to choose where your peddles and steering are so you might look less small, fun sized, miniature (or what ever you want to call it) lol

[@susboyz7183]

we love florida nick

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

Pinion angle is what matters not the angle your drive shaft is sitting at , that means that if your transmission sits at a 3° angle then your differential should be at a 3° angle . Or better yet both of them should be at zero .

[@Maxxburn101]

Collete is a twin confirmed at 8:26 lol

[@ColleteDavis]

u will deff like the fire wall carbon piece with a lil bit of work, would look sick in there

[@mrhappytroll]

I was so tripped out when there were 2 collete's

[@blakecrossing]

These videos are great, the content is awesome. In the future it would be really really cool if you and Adam did a collab with other KZbinrs such Stradman or DDE, I’d like to see the DDE vipers in a tandem with you and Adam.

[@hyper8545]

Yo Collette. Gforce has nice axle upgrades. Big thick bois for vettes. Maybe that will help.

[@Crispy1320]

I was wondering how the front-mounted transmission and the Winters rear end were going to mount cuz I know of other people that are doing it but yours is definitely the first I've seen. Nick seems to be pretty good at what he does. So I have no doubt that it will work and work very well. I have a feeling you're going to go far in clutch kickers this year. Your Corvette looks absolutely amazing and screams Colette Davis.

[@mnburney]

look forward to seeing this thing rip.

[@bazmk2886]

Looking good 😎, could you have not spaced the subframe to reduce the angle?Also could you not matte lacquer the dash to reduce the glare from the sun plus hiding the imperfections. Keep up the good work 😎

[@DaanBakker14]

Running the winters upside down would be ideal

[@laurenschenck5355]

Keep up the awesome work Collete 💚✨💚💚💚❤️💓💕💕💛💚✨✨💚💛💕💙♥️♥️

[@memkev101]

Tequila Sunrise Needs Sum Love 🤯

[@robvanderkroft6515]

Dash will have to be flocked to stop the sun bouncing off it so could cover the whole thing and you wouldn't see any damage

[@justinbrito5020]

Should have went with the fdf mounts for the winters. It looks like he’s got it down to a science with how it fits and the templates to cut and fit perfect. Regardless this things gonna shred can’t wait for my vette to be done also so we can get corvette tandems

[@ColleteDavis]

It that was an option at the time I would have. It wasn’t. 🤷‍♀️ I had to order these SEMA of last year …

[@justinbrito5020]

@@ColleteDavis oh dang that was awhile ago hopefully everything goes together well and you shred soon! Watching your build has made me want to rip everything apart to make it simple but also want a street car

[@psirx7]

Hi Collette..love the build!..I think your shifter is gonna hit the dash!...lol

[@psirx7]

Or run an offset/bent shifter..look forward to seeing you shred this.

[@andrewyou5484]

If you like Nick's JZX 90 then you'll love the JZX100 mark2 its got the similar style tail lights and the front is basically the same as the 100

[@1clnsdime1]

I think it would be worth the time to run a regular QC rear end right side up and it would fix most of the driveline angle. But I get it, it takes time.

[@HalfPint5811]

Going to be sick 🤘

[@Matty.Hill_87]

14:46 nice save Chris 👌😂

[@RobertDavis-hn9rz]

i know yall are "competition" but maybe ask taylor ray on some stuff because he is also doing a vette build with front trans. setup but ur killing it so far cant wait to see it running and ripping

[@ColleteDavis]

I’m actually further along, so we’ve both been sharing information for this. Pioneering it together 👍 lol

[@nathanielrubio7825]

Get the subframe powder coated🤙🏽

[@SushiPac]

I’d order a few extra axles since they are going to be custom. So you can have them on hand and bring them to the track with you just in case you need to swap one out you won’t be died in the water.

[@tompatrick8155]

*Pioneers* - Fuck yes Was on the ground Laughing when you said "Carbon floors" too - who even knew such things exist, except Collete of course

[@daboenterprize8265]

Going to be awesome 😎

[@ERIEL96abra]

Id say you need to get two drive shafts incase the worst were to happen at the track

[@ColleteDavis]

Forsure

[@lachcav9885]

Very awesome updates

[@MetalBomb269]

I love the content and the carbon pieces. The firewall goes on from the back from the look of it. But idk.

[@johny79action]

The whole point of havin UJ's in the driveshaft is to allow for misalignment, the gearbox and diff are fixed so in reality if everything is in line u wouldn't need UJ's. Id say just throw a prop in no problem.

[@ImAlive11550]

Always wondered how that was measured. Thx

[@richardlapoint1845]

I've been wondering about the vette. That's gonna be a real nice drift car if yall get those tolerances very close 👌

[@DownLow0099]

They should make you a new dash and send it to you when ready. Not your problem if they screwed up.

[@xoconceited5554]

You should PPF the dash and the stuff that’s carbon so it last longer

[@Fishbowl5.0]

You should have the carbon dash sanded and cleared in 2k matte clear to lower the glare 🤘❤💛💙

[@ssaxmanful]

Car looks cool. Is the intent to have it stay as an exocage kart style build? Or are you planning to put the doors and front end back on?

[@ardennielsen3761]

40 seconds for a jester... fake turbo blow off muffler valve whistle, but it actually works "blow off valve whistle = Thunder Chicken Squaw!". Thunder Birds have nice suspension geometry, at 3600lbs only needs 380hp to keep up with a 580hp Audi S8. all in the tires after a few little things... That four wheel drive would be nice in the snow, still not as good as chains on the t-birds rear wheels. lower the front end of the diff, raise the rear... inch lift on the transmission tail cross-member "make one", angles are more shallow. shim the engine mounts to allow the transmission tail lift... 483000 miles one drive shaft, drifting = it's going to brake anyways... so its fine as is.

[@colepond9144]

fdf is currently makng a diff mount for the winters in a corvette but it will sit the normal way, lines up perfectly

[@ColleteDavis]

I know, I gave him the heads up that the RTS ones aren’t it.

[@colepond9144]

@@ColleteDavis he just realized a video today with the ones he had in development

[@mrtangyfb7960]

ssshh got some sick parts you must be hyped as going be like a hole new car

[@kezro22]

Use regular epoxy resin like for art it's the same resin basically and super clear and the it will fill like it was never there. Then use micro mesh to buff after

[@kezro22]

Total boat is a good low heat resin. They work with influencers aswell

[@clapyocheek]

Make the rear firewall 2 piece and have the small piece at the top have it slotted and let it hang down to overlap the bottom and make the bottom easily removable with dzus fasteners just a idea

[@ryanedminson4149]

you should paint the corvette logo on the dash neon

I do believe Taylor is much further along, he was fitting transmission weeks/ months ago, but this might be the better of the two..even if you are a lil behind 😀

[@ColleteDavis]

He started months ago yes, but we’re ahead at the moment 👍 not a race, just more difficult when no one else has done it before since you’re figuring out all the issues first.

Hi, could you possibly get a fluffy cover for your microphone on the cam to help with the sibilance.

[@bradlong7651]

The sun reflecting off that dash is going to suck... You should give it a matt clear coat.

[@kurtjoldervik1589]

just a question.. If your short and always is forward in the car.. cant you just move the pedals and steering more towards you then moving all of you too much forward ?

[@sickjohnson]

OMG, once they find out who you are and what you do, I would expect a new dash being sent to you ASAP! I actually feel bad for the CF company...damn. If you have to cut do it outside and wear a real respirator...CF dust lasts the rest of your shortened life.
