Thread: anybody need a Camaro???

Tweet

Did some work on the 'maro today. I got the 9" set up where it will go so I can finalize plans on my brackets, still going with the triangulated 4 bar just doing some more planning and thinking on the bar lengths and angles... Have to do a bunch of sheet metal fabricating on the rear of the passenger compartment....I'm lowering the car some from stock and it seems the 9" takes up a whole bunch more room then that flimsy thing chebbie put in there!!!!

Also started preparing for installing the frame ties. I've installed a couple sets of the store bought ones and didn't like them at all. Too heavy, hang down too low and generally just not tieing the chassis up as I think it should be.

I'm doing the one's on this car in the same manner I did all my Mavericks and a couple Mustangs, adding plates to the floor where the existing braces end, then putting in an 1/2" X 3" rectangular tube cut and trimmed to fit. This way, I can weld the front and rear attach points as well as the floor itself. Seems to get more twist out of the chassis when done this way....Hate to figure the bill for a customer's car, it is a bit more labor intensive to say the least!!!!! Oh well, whoever buys it will have a good hookin' car!!!! Gonna need it with one of Pat's 496 ci torque monsters in there!!!!!

Anyway, here's a few more pics for you..... Anybody wanna buy it yet??? Sure is embarrassing having a chebbie in my garage!!!!!!!
