I've had this car since 84' & this the third build. It was a
completly rust free car when I got it. The car has an LS7, ATS headers,
ATS pan, Peterson oil tank kit from ATS & ATS Sidewinder, UMI TB
and MEFI4 controller & harness. Ron Davis radiator, Ricks stainless tank.


I replaced the whole electrical system with painless 18 curcuit.
Vintage air AC

I used DSE control arms, coils & sway bar with ATS's AFX spindles,
670 steering gear. C5 brakes, Hydroboost.

Out back will be DSE Quadralink with a narrowed 9" and deep tubs.
ATS splined sway bar. It should be in soon.

That is an ATS Sidewinder setup; ultra stable even at high RPMs. Simply the best out there.

Thanks for the great replies!

Accessory drive is ATS Sidewinder as reboot stated.

Subframe connectors are DSE and are going in with Quadralink.
They are a must.

Thanks so much to Tyler at ATS for tech advise and service cubed.
The car has alot of his products all bad ass!

Hello Peter;

NICE work you've done on that Camaro. No shortcuts there. :thumbsup:

Question: the black anodized AN fittings and black braided hose - what brand? (looks like they were running to a remote oil filter?)

Reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to find a brand of plumbing that has matching colors for power steering fittings/hoses as well as the rest of the plumbing. So far - no luck at all.

Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work. Be sure to post pics when it's done - and no longer afflicting you - lol.

Car looks good Pete. Get back home and get wrenching on it before it is 117 degrees outside.

I hope to have the car done this winter. After checking the fitment I

It has been great fun to build but I'm ready to drive! I've had this thing

Man, TIG welding the entire rear was painstaking!

What a chore.

Is there a reason you decided to TIG vs MIG? Just curious on your theory.

Oh, Killer car!

Vent windows forever :thumbsup:

JETSET700
10-04-2008, 06:31 AM
Tom, yes we had to support the car very well. The car was on a level steel
work platform then braced firm. This is all very important as we cut across
the whole trunk. Not a place to shortcut if you want the car true. We also
put the SFC in so this support helped that come out good.

The car has ATS spindles, as for the welds being TIG Rich there is no real
reason. The work was indeed tedeous, Ryan deserves huge credit for alot of
great welding in awkward positions. It took alot of time & massive amounts
of material.

Hey Curtis, I saw you have to sell your car to bad that sucks! It is a good excuse

It will be ATS headers to 3", 3" fabbed X-pipe (earlier post pic) 3" back to a

Thanks Wayne, I've had the car 24 years & its never looked
anything like this before. I've done all the planing alot of the work
but had great help on the body & paint, Quadralink install, exhaust.

In the pics of wheels I'm just ckecking initial ride height. Thats the
first time it had weight on wheels with correct size. Not all of the
weight is in it yet so I will leave the front for now & of course the
rear is fully adjustable.

It has DSE subframe connectors, Quadrlink, & tubs now. At home its hard
to get the car high enough to spray bottom also the front side of the

Then seam sealer urethane superpro, another coat of DP, undercoating
on wheel wells, frame rails, shock crossmember, trunk spatter to match
what was allready there.

The dash was quite a long process. I made a design by modifying an existing dash with glass and filler, then Anvil Auto used it as a plug to produce a mold for production quality. It was like a trade off for me to get a dash and they can sell a few of these low demand dashes. I love the way it came out.

I had the car at Goodguys Scottsdale Saturday and had a great time. It's all aligned now and drives very good. I did'nt do the autocross as I'm not ready for that yet! No real problems to and from, it was a good day. One funny note for those who can relate. I scheduled to have my fr/rr glass installed by a recommended guy and it was'nt to far so I planned to drive it there with no fr/rr glass. That day turned out to be the coldest AZ morning of the year!
I did it anyways and it was like I was flying a Stearman over the North Pole.

I like the racepak but I did the dash carrier so the racepak would be recessed
for reduced glare a must per others who had used them before me. It sure reduces the amount of dash wiring.
