Scott Mock's '69 Camaro finished

[ANVIL1]

Scott just shared this link with me showing his Trans Am style Camaro.

It's running some of our carbon fiber pieces, so I'm very proud to be included in his outstanding build. Thought I would share with everyone.

Best, MaTT

nice car, I dig how they incorporated the air cleaner to work with the cowl hood and feed the the TB. Like the big meats on the front as well to compliment the monster rears.

[rogue]

man that car is bad to the bone! :yes:

I assume dirk vanzuuk is responsible for the rear window straps and front spoiler?

[camcojb]

VERY nice, love the look.

Jody

[ironworks]

This is one of the best cars I have seen on this site. That is one bad ass car.

[fastback]

Nice. Brings back great memories.

[Teetoe_Jones]

He stole my ideas!!

J/K, we are working on a very similar build right down to the 1/4 windows, interior color, everything.

By far my favorite car of the year.

Thanks Guys for the kind words about my project. I didnt mean to steal any of your ideas but great minds think alike.The car drives great. Its fun to watch on coming drivers break there necks when they see me go by. Sun july 13 is the first test at K.C. crown auto cross club at kansas speedway. Then wed. july 16 open track day at heartland park to topeka. Will keep you posted on how I did. Thanks scott.

[WILWAXU]

Cool car! There are some cool detail items in there.

[awr68]

I REALLY like it!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[7TSS]

That's SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!

Good luck on running her @ the track. Let us know how you do. Better yet, take some pics/videos for us :yes:

[jeff hanson]

That thing is sick! I would love to build something like that for my next one. Very cool indeed!:hail: :hail:

[HWY Nova]

Great styling..... I love it! Very true to road racing of the past with some modern technology!

Rodger (Ironworks): What do you think of those wheels?

--Eric

[bigtyme1]

Sweey Ride Matt! I'm a major collector of Sunoco Memorabilia. If you get some profesional shots at the track let me know. I'd like to get it printed and framed for my trophy room.

[brunoz28]

sweetest '69 I've seen in a long time, too bad its like the best movie ever being released on the same day as the most advertised movie ever the notorious nova has over 40,000 views and this camaro is just as SWEET! :thumbsup:

[Bowtieracing]

Love the details, love the car :cheers:

[DaveO]

Awesome, congrats to both of you on a great car! Can't wait to hear how it does on the track.

Scott, mind if I ask what hood hinge struts you're using? I have the same hood and tried the 150lb f/g struts but they're still too strong for the CF hood!

[waynieZ]

Sweet car I like everything about it !
Wayne

[coolwelder62]

The hinges are DSE catalog hinges for fiber glass hood. they seem to work well. The hood comes up quickly when you release the latch. They could be softer. Just have not adressed that issue yet. I will call jason at DSE and talk to him wed. morning andget back to you.Scott.

[USA Steel]

As Always, another fantastic job of fabrication and imagination. Scott is a friend and always creates what he see's in his mind. Just amazing! I can vouch for this 69, it runs and drives just as good as it looks. Great Job! :thumbsup:

[whytry]

That's awesome!!!

[Datsbad]

Tyler at ATS can confirm this is something I have had planned for a while now. I am so glad to see it come together for someone. With so many cars on going right now I couldnt swing it .

This is by far my favorite car on the site for sure.
I love every detail about it.

Here is a pic of what mine was going to look like. There are some things in this rendering that wouldnt have made it to the car . The So LoCo on the quarter is something Ben Hermance came up with

I can't take any credit for Scott's car. I'm just the messenger. Since Scott used some of our parts and is an early adaptor to our carbon fiber parts, it's such a kick to see something like Scott's car come together as nicely as it has and have something you've created be a part of it. I hope to see other builds use our parts to the degree Scott has. I haven't even seen his car in person, but would love to see it on the track.
Keep it shiny side up Scott!

Just wanted to post AGAIN.

I can't stop looking at your car. I love it. Of all the cars I've ever seen, this is my favorite car.

I BEG you for some hi-res shots for my desktop background.

Damn I love this car!!!!!!!!


Tyler

[USA Steel]

I'm with you TJ, this thing is hard to stop lookin at. Shoot, my wife doesn't even get this much attention from me.:cool:

[coolwelder62]

I want to thank everybody for all the nice things they are saying about my car. This is car I have wanted to build for along time now. I felt only someting like this that was bare & raw would do. It sounds & drives Feels like a real race car. When I climb down in the car it gives a feeling that none of the others cars I have built gave me. Thanks agin for the nice words because this site is full of alot really nice and bad ass cars.99% of the cars on this web site are all top notch cars. Scott

[HWY Nova]

Scott,

Will you be posting more build photos? The two albums so far are great to look at! I was wondering is you have photos of the 'paint' and 'final assembly' phases.

--Eric

[coolwelder62]

I have a ton of photos from paint & build stage I will have my brother ad them to the photo album this week end. that way it is easyer to view. By then I should have some track photos then also. Taylor From Mizfit said he would shoot video this week end and down load that for every one to watch.But dont laugh I am a rookie on the race track. I want take it slow at first and learn as I go.Scott.

[HWY Nova]

Scott,

Thanks for the response. I'm know we will all enjoy the additional photos!!!!


--Eric

[turbo_tom]

Sick car! You are making me want the CF front pieces sooo bad... :cool:

[Mizfit]

Hey Scott man you really pulled it off. You deserve all the credit on this one. I remember we were talking about this idea when you were still working on the 68. So glad it all came together for you.I watched the build up on this car in person and let me tell you guys Scott has some really trick stuff on this thing. True Race Car no doubt about it. :hail: :cheers:
I told Scott that I will be out there at the track and will shoot the car and maybe see if I can make a quick movie from the footage we get. :yes:

Taylor

[jimhamptons]

Wow! Beautiful Car! :thumbsup:

[BC69]

Wow!! That is awesome! If I ever get in the position to build another camaro it is going to be a Sunoco Trans-Am car just like that or the #36 68' Camaro. That is a beautiful mix of the classic look and some modern touches!

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

[Beach Cruiser]

Great job Scott! I love the whole package! That's the look and feel I'm hoping my 67 will have if I ever get it done! Right down to the color! Post some final assembly pics and some shots from the track when you get them! I've been cutting my teeth on the track with 00 T/A, can't wait to get my Camaro out there and kick some Miata Ass!

[ZVT]

Gonna chime in here like everybody else and say this is probably the best looking Camaro around next to Penny its even better in my opinion:hail: :hail:

Absolutely stunning no wonder I do most of renderings on the similar streetfighter/transam racing style.:D :woot:

[Jr]

Damn! I have been looking at this car for two days...I love this car.

Can we get some video...please :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

I am so glad that everybody loves my car. My drag race buddies think I screwed up the paint by putting all the decals on the car. But that is what I wanted. This car does not have the build quailty of the Nova Troy is building.Or the paint & body work of bad penny. I sand blasted this car on Nov.14 2007 And rushed ot get it done so I could thrash on it this summmer. The car is soild ,but not a SMOY canidate like Troys Nova. It was built in my home shop. I just did the best job I could W/ a med budget. videos to to follow. Scott.

[Rybar]

Scott, that is a killer car. Love the direction you took with it. Very different than most others which is tough for a '69 Camaro.

Very cool car that you can have fun with. Can't ask for more. :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

I just finished putting the car a set of digital scales. Lowered the 1in. in the rear. It looked high in the photos.Heres how it wt# total 3510 W/ me in it & full of fuel. frt# 1842/ rear1662# LSide 1731#, Rside1717#/ LF-RR cross1772#RF-LR cross 1732# I think it is close enough and should not touch it. Any thoughts on it. Scott.

[coolwelder62]

Just thougt I should say thank you to all the people who made this build possible. Brian Kellison for great and super fast service on the paint & body work.Kyle Tucker & Jason Peck Of DSE. who Sent me great parts,But it was their advise over to phone w/ little tips that makes them an A+ company .Matt at Anvil Auto HIs top quaitly parts makes this car stand out. Will Anthis At Fikse wheels For hooking me up W/ the massvie 18X11 & 18X12 Profil 13 wheels.Works of art. The guys at wilwood for walking me thur the brake install so that they would work right the first time. Rick Hendrick Superior Chevy of K.C. for all the GM performance parts and pcs. at great prices. Fullbright signs for the Great graphics. John at Speartech for the super fast service on the wiring harness. Ken V for great wiring on the car. Rick( JY) Sells forSuper low price on the 69 camaro shell. And my lovely wife Teresa for putting up w/ me for seven months.While I built the car. Thanks every body so much. Scott.

[Teetoe_Jones]

Tyler

[coolwelder62]

Tyler. I sandblasted the shell nov. 14 2007.The first real drive was june 14 2007 in to baldwin at the little car show the chamber puts on.It wasnt totally complete then. The air cleaner housing was finished but not installed. 1/4 windows werent installed yet.Door glass & windows werent in.The door glass still inst in yet. Door panels are quickies I made to get me by for now. My goal was the powertour But I missed that by 2 weeks. Its finished enough for now Yets Go thrash this thing.hopefuly it will take the abuse.But if it dosnt I got all winter to fix it.Scott.

[coolwelder62]

The first track day for me & my car went great. Got there at 8:00am Baked in the sun until 4:00pm. Fastest lap of the day was a honda S2000 at 53:00 seconds. My first time was 74:00 seconds / 2nd. pass 70:00sec. last pass 68:00sec. Didnt see what pass 3 & 4 were. I have a lot to learn. Taylor from Mizfit was there an video taped each run.He said he would get it down loaded in a few days. The car is faster than I am. nothing broke & we came home in one pice. To morrow is open track day at HTP road course. Will not leave my camara at home this time. check in thurs. night. Scott

[Mizfit]

We had a great time watching all the cars. Scott's car has a ton more in it no dobt. Really the course was setup to tight for anything larger then a S2000. I got it on tape so I am going to try and get it loaded up asap. Just been real busy. Had a great time taping and watching. Thanks for the invite again scott.:thumbsup: :cheers:

[city_ofthe_south]

ok I'm just gonna try this. This is Scott's first run in this Camaro at the KC Speedway last Sunday. Sorry for the loser quality and those camera man skills of mine :(

[city_ofthe_south]

so that didn't work at all. The vids are in my photobucket (and that wasn't his first run either. DOH!) LINK:

http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/city_ofthe_south/
they're numbered/named in order of runs. Sorry, I only got to stay for his first three.

[Jr]

City of the South,
Thanks for the videos.

[Jr]

Coolweld,
That car looks great running around the track :thumbsup:

[city_ofthe_south]

np ... maybe shoulda started another thread cause I'm sure plenty of peeps want to see the video but aren't checking this thread .... This is the first time I converted video to go online. I was going from Hi8 to mpeg and they really look horrid. Anyone know any tricks for quality? I was just using the crapola software that was with the camera. Image mixer or something like that.

[coolwelder62]

Thanks Colter for downloading the video. Its great. Thats the first time I seen the car from the outside. I look slow from outside but it seems like 100mph from inside the car. Looks like I need aton of seat time. I was so nevrus I for got to turn on my camara inside the car. It was great to talk to you on the phone sun. scott.

[city_ofthe_south]

yw. I'm gonna stick the VHS in the mail today.

[coolwelder62]

We autocrossed the car at KC car goodguys last week end . With my son driving the car were only 1.1sec off Kyle Tuckers best time.And were the fastest steel bodied car next to kyle times. A 1100# lotus 7 And 2000# fiber glass dragon w auto cross slicks were the only cars faster and only .059 & .029 thousandth of a second faster. My digtial camera found its way into the wash mon. night .Its toast but maybe the card is good it has all the video on it .Will have my brother check it out. and have down load it it is ok. The car is faster than I can drive it. Scott

[68protouring454]

congrats car looks killer, u should come to rtth

[coolwelder62]

I wanted to, but thats the weekend I am going to try to get my SCCA COMP.driving lic. But I will be there next year.I wish directv had V8TV so I could see all the action.Scott.

[city_ofthe_south]

I saw your car at Goodguys but I didn't get to see it run or I might have gotten a little more video. I have a few pics of some of the cars that did run though not great ones. KC could use to plant a few trees and use barriers rather than fence to protect us from the course ... better viewing, better pictures.

[Jr]

We need a new link to the pictures. The link on the first rage no longer works.:willy:

[Neil B]

Cool! Definitely my kind of car. Reminds me of the 4th Gen Sunoco tribute car that GM built with the wheels and graphics. So it's kind of a retro-version of a modern retro, or something like that.
