Thread: anybody need a Camaro???

Tweet

Started doing a bit of work on the 'maro again---after I blew all the dust off of it!!!!! Figured I'd ignored it long enough...

Got the dash stripped down to the necessities....just a piece of plastic to hold the gauges...and cut out some aluminum for the center gauge panel and replaced 2 of the factory plastic switch panels with aluminum ones...Also did away with the factory wiring, gauges, A/C components under the dash, sound deadner, and all the other non-essentials the factory put in the interior.....

Had a bit of minor rust to cut out and replace on the floors. Reinforcing the points where the roll bar and door bars will mount, relocating and reinforcing the seat mounts, and of course scraping off all that yucky factory seam sealer.....

Weighed all the junk I took out of the car and won't be reinstalling, adding it to the total of weight removed, I've lightenened the car a bit over 350 pounds......and still more to go...

I'm lowering the car a couple inches and replacing that puny differential chebbie put in it with a 9" Ford, along with coilovers, disc brakes, and a triangulated 4 bar so I have to do a bit of modifying on the rear interior sheet metal to make the new pieces fit!!! The big opening in the rear floor is for a new crossmember to mount the upper bars to. Going to trim all the sheetmetal back as required and install aluminum panels to cover the hole....'maro's never had a usable back seat anyway!!!!!!

Plans are to finish up the interior "cleansing" then put some supension under the car.... Hopefully I can get more time in on it know that it's only my stuff in the garage....
