69 Camaro project at Autokraft

[XcYZ]

I'm going to get this thread rolling for Kurt at Autokraft (www.autokraft.org). He's building a bad ass 69 Camaro for a customer using a DSE front sub, DSE Q-Link, Fikse wheels, Wilwood brakes, LS7 with a Katech cam, and a beautiful Kinsler intake with carbon fiber velocity stacks. A good bit of the car is done, and I thought now would be a good time to start a build thread so we can all follow along.

ALL the pics can be found HERE (http://www.autokraft.org/gallery/hayim/) on Kurt's website.

Very Nice. What an intake!

Wheels look nice with the gunmetal centers too.

[CarterHickmanDesigns]

Yeah, that intake is wicked!

[WILWAXU]

Nice stuff!

[Tom.A]

Nice build Kurt :thumbsup:

[shiro666]

What type of wheels are those if you don't mind?

[XcYZ]

What type of wheels are those if you don't mind?


The wheels are Fikse Profil 5 S (http://www.fikse.com/profil.html)

The color is Anthracite.

[Rybar]

Awesome build, this car has all my dream parts on it :lol:

[tones2SS]

Very similair to what I would like to do for a build. VERY SIMILIAR!!!:unibrow:
I like the build, but not too crazy about the intake for some reason. LOVE the ls7 with the Katech cam!!!:thumbsup: :bow:

[awr68]

Simply BAD ASS!! Looking good Kurt!! :thumbsup:

[dodge]

Awesome....lovethe intake :thumbsup: :hail:

[aany001]

Oh man that thing is going to be bad a$$ !! I love the colour combo and wheels.Please keep the pics coming. :cheers:

[fleetus macmullitz]

The wheels are Fikse Profil 5 S (http://www.fikse.com/profil.html)

The color is Anthracite.

Same wheels that are on Dale Jr's '72 Camaro.

[XcYZ]

Same wheels as Stielow's Camaro X. :thumbsup:

[fesler]

Looks like a sick project, love the intake. What color is it going to be painted?

[XcYZ]

It hasn't been painted yet, but it's most likely going to be hugger orange with white stripes.

[Devil Dog]

SWEEEET!

Just when one thinks they've seen it all along comes someone like Kurt.
Thanks for sharing your project with us.

Nice engine package and awesome build .I 'll keep my eye on this one.

[Flash68]

That Camaro does not suck!! :thumbsup:

[John510]

Wow awesome!

[texas56]

WOW!:thumbsup: :hail:

[wiedemab]

This is a dumb question, but I'm not sure I like the chrome rear bumper with the painted front bumper (in the rendering). I'm not all that educated on '69 Camaros compared to most, so maybe this is a normal occurrence.

Either way, this will be a badass car. The quality of work thus far looks top notch.

Keep the pics coming!!!!!

[Stuart Adams]

Very nice. Sick in a healthy way.

[awr68]

Sweet!!!!! :thumbsup:

The endura bumper was an option in 69, they came painted body color with the rear bumper being chrome. :thumbsup:

There should be a lot more pics coming soon. Should be in color soon (and it's not the same color as the rendering :unibrow: ).

[Tom.A]

Looks awesome. :thumbsup:

Scott, I remember that this car was bought off another member on the board but was just wondering is this going to be Kurt's car or just a customer not on the BB?

[XcYZ]

Yep, the car was bought from a member of the site. :thumbsup:

Kurt is building it for a customer that doesn't get on here much at all.

[tony byram]

Hey Scott, what is the sizes and b.s. on those wheels? O and what other color options are you looking at? :thumbsup: Looks GREAT! Those rear tires are HUGE! Look great on the car.

[comp-spec]

Nice project

[Tom.A]

Thanks. Look forward to seeing it finished

[Autokraft]

Hey Scott, what is the sizes and b.s. on those wheels? O and what other color options are you looking at? :thumbsup: Looks GREAT! Those rear tires are HUGE! Look great on the car.

Tony, wheels sizes are rear 18x12 5.625bs and the fronts are 18x10 with a 6.125bs tires are 335/30/18 rear and 275/35/18 front

[slenning]

Wow I just got intake envy:unibrow: Thanks for posting Scott.
Very nice work Kurt very cool

[XcYZ]

Kurt cut in the Stielow inspired trunk floor recesses and the bottom of the car gets media blasted on Monday, then it's full speed ahead with paint!

The Lemons headers fit great - even with the 2" primaries.

NICE!
How low do the headers hang below the frame rail?

[XcYZ]

According to Kurt, they don't hang down at all. :thumbsup:

[awr68]

Well you can't beat that! That's a great option for the LS guys....and gals!

[67ragtp]

Scott,

Did he mention how the steering shaft fit up with those pipes? I had Dan Lemons build me a set for my 540 4-speed ragtop, that guy can build pipes, absolutly beautiful work. I wonder what they cost, perhaps a call to Dan for more info on them.

Thanks Rich

[tones2SS]

Well you can't beat that! That's a great option for the LS guys....and gals!

I agree!!!
A good brand of headers that work well for the LSx based engines.:thumbsup:

[lhkustoms]

awesome build :thumbsup:

[rjsjea]

Very cool!!:cool:

[deuce_454]

that doesnt look mig welded... is that some sort of mig "brazing" no splatter and golden shine to weld??? perhaps i just need to get my eyes checked..

The shock crossmember is mig welded, everything else is tig welded with sil bronze

[Beegs]

Have not been on much.....click "new posts" and see my old girl getting the white glove treatment!

It's great to see the car move along. Kurt your work is outstanding...:thumbsup: Scott PLEASE keep the pics coming...I can't wait to see it finished!

Be sure to show the pics to your son, too. :)

[wiedemab]

Just a question about the silicon bronze. I've seen this used before and have done a little research. Are you just using this on the parts that you don't deem structural? It sure makes pretty looking welds. I thought I had read somewhere that it makes a weaker weld and shouldn't be used on structural joints.

I'm just curious - trying to learn.

I like the clearance modifications for the exhaust. You can tell that you've been down that road before with a Camaro. It's always nice to have those previous experiences to draw on.

[Kendall Burleson]

Killer car nice:yes: :yes: :yes:

[XcYZ]

Color is going on... :cheers:

Correct. Non structural- sheetmetal. Like you would not want to use it for welding the subframe to the subframe conectors or welding together a roll cage

[awr68]

Progress! :woot: Looks great Kurt!!

They do look having a great fit!! Why they dont make those in stainless? I would take a set asap :yes:

[Autokraft]

Well I will say this, they fit awesome, look awesome, quality is awesome, they tuck up nice and dont hardly hang down below the frame, easy access to the plugs, nice beefy flanges.... plus Dan is great to work with:thumbsup:

Looks good. Will it be at the Dells?

[TreySmith]

What was wrong with the quarters:question:

[Autokraft]

What was wrong with the quarters:question:

One side had a little rust around the wheel opening but the other side had a crease/dent from someone running into it I would guess. When the owner purchased the car it came with one NOS quarter and I was able to locate another for the other side

[Autokraft]

Looks good. Will it be at the Dells?

No, it will be in New York by then.

Hey how you comin on that truck you got from Wegner?

[awr68]

Oh Yeah!!! :thumbsup:

[tellyv]

No, it will be in New York by then.

Hey how you comin on that truck you got from Wegner?

I'm running a little behind, I started another 69 camaro and were doing a complete paint on a 68 camaro, and a full alterktion kit on a 69 superbee so I probably wont be getting to it anytime soon. I still have a ton of stuff to do on the cuda, winters sure are busy!!!!

[Bowtieracing]

Just 110% what i am looking for!!! :hail: Can you ask Dan if they can made those in stainless ??

I found this at lemons web site :

" Spark plug wiring:
For all of our Big Block and LS headers we recommend a 45 degree wiring boot and for all of our Small Block headers we recommend a 90 degree wiring boot."

But based on pictures it look like the stock boots would clear ? Can you double check this for me ? If they work i place my order right in.

I just took another look and its a straight shot. Looks like a straight boot would have plenty of clearance to me

[Beegs]

Black!! Love it...:thumbsup:

Kurt, Scott told me your attention to detail is top shelf and it shows...:hail:

That crease happened to the original owner, a driver was not paying attention and tapped him on the backside.

[Kendall Burleson]

How much body work will you have to do?:yes: :yes:

[tones2SS]

Car is looking KILLER!!!:thumbsup:
Keep up the great work and keep us posted!!!

[-Freak-]

I'm glad I'm registered on here also to see the good pictures of the build.

Will be following it closely.

This will be a member of the upper echelons.

[Beegs]

This will be a member of the upper echelons.

^^^^ What he said....car is making me drool...looks great Kurt!


So what do you guys think? What other cars (69 Camaro) are on par with this one? I told a buddy of mine that my old car was being transformed into a car that will compete with any build out there. He chuckled...then he checked out this thread and just about dropped a warm load.

[XcYZ]

So what do you guys think? What other cars (69 Camaro) are on par with this one?

That's a tough one. There's no crazy fabrication, just a solid choice of parts and fantastic fit and finish. It will definitely be one of my favorites.

Have you been showing the pics to your son? (I can't remember his name...)

[Vegas69]

It's got the right bloodlines....where is the rendering:unibrow:

Max...He's 8 now and I've been showing him the updates. He loves the build....... and keeps telling me I should have kept it. :lol: Your son is the same age right?

The fit and finish and no overthetop crap is what makes this build so sexy to me. The DSE type build has always appealed to me because it's a like an OEM fit and finish. The bits and pieces on this one are heading in that direction and I love it. Did I say I love it?!

[XcYZ]

Yep, Zack is 8, too. :thumbsup:

There should be more updates coming soon. :cheers:

[Bowtieracing]

You need to contact Dan Lemon at Lemon's headers, but one of the options is that you can get these headers in stainless steel. The material cost will double the price though. This option is not listed on his site, but Dan told me on the phone that he could build the headers in stainless.


Jeff

Hello Jeff,

Yes i gave Dan an email and stainless was not a broblem at all. Sad to say -when i finally found the perfect header - the broblem transferred to my vallet :(

[XcYZ]

Im in looove :dance:

Wait until we post the dyno numbers. :unibrow:

Now I just need the video of the pulls...

[XcYZ]

Here's the dyno sheet.... Katech thought it would make close to 650hp with their cam and the Kinsler IR intake, but it made slightly more.

This cam sacrifices extreme top end pull to make mid-range torque, and does it ever. The torque numbers are awesome, and look how the motor just shuts off after making peak hp at 6200.

http://www.lateral-g.net/temp/LS7_with_KinslerIR_dyno_chart.jpg

[camcojb]

that's enough to make the car a blast to drive. :thumbsup:

Jody

[ironworks]

Wow that is awesome torque.

Rodger

[awr68]

Impressive! :thumbsup:

Man, I just can't get over what these LSx motors can do...if I could only do mine all over again!! :hail:

[tones2SS]

That is going to be fun.
Nice torque/horsepower numbers.:thumbsup:
Now is this a stock crate engine LS7 with the Katech cam and Kinsler intake being the only 2 modifications?

[XcYZ]

Pretty much a stock LS7...Kinsler IR intake (with what you see for air cleaners), Katech Torquer cam, new valve springs, retainers, headers with 2" primaries, and a BS3 ECM.

It's the same cam I'm running in my car, which Katech claims will make 610hp at the crank, so the Kinsler intake stepped it up considerably.

[tones2SS]

WOW!
That is cool. Katech make some great products. Thanks for the reply.:thumbsup:

[customcam]

i wanna drive
Um, we need more pics :woot:

[itsals1]

So I'm just wondering,Kurt are you doing anything on the 69' or are you sitting around eat'en cookies and drink'in Monster!! :rofl: :lol: Now on the serious side we need more car porn.

Fantastic Scott!!!!

Katech does make some great products - I won't disagree BUT...

Kinsler makes some AWESOME products. :bow:

When I heard the dyno numbers from the cross ram last year I was blown away. There are so many discussions about how the LS7 intake can't be beat (and almost nobody else has been able to) but the ITB intakes are just increadible.

I guess your nitrous kit is going to sit on the shelf for a while?

[waynieZ]

Thanks Kurt and Scott I knew I had seen them before but couldn't remember where.

[Vegas69]

Nice work....that baby looks super straight:thumbsup: Is this a members car or did I miss that?

[tellyv]

[Aschle]

Wow ! Looking great guys !

What tail lights are those?

Jason

[awr68]

Absolutly AWESOME!! :hail: :thumbsup:

[boonedog]

wow that thing is beaut!

[tones2SS]

NOW THAT IS SICK!!:hail: :cheers:
Amazing work Autokraft!!! That looks killer and cannot wait for the end product.
Some one wanted to know what taillights those are. I do believe the tail lights are Marquez? Or are they Digitails?

[GHOSTDANCER]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

[Rybar]

Badass for sure. Killer work Kurt! The car looks freaking SICK! :thumbsup:

[DB Z28]

Car realy looks outstanding. I have one question on the dry sump tank .I see a lot of people doing this. The breather hose to breather tank with a U bend going to the sump tank. Will the oil pool in the line going to the breather and shut off the air off to the breather tank. Anybody run in any problems with this set up. Im starting to set mine up. I thought the breather tank line should be slighly higher with no bends
down so that oil in the line will drain back to the sump tank.:question:

[Viperlover]

Is there somewhere i can go to see some higher resolution shots of the engine? Everything looks great and all business.

[DOOM]

Kurt whos product are you using for the trunk paint????

[XcYZ]

Nice work....that baby looks super straight:thumbsup: Is this a members car or did I miss that?

The owner comes on here from time to time, but he's not a registered member.



What tail lights are those?

They are from Ring Brothers. They had 1 set left over from prototyping the tail lights for Razor and those are it.

[srh3trinity]

All of that linkage is mechanical art. Beautiful car.

[XcYZ]

All of that linkage is mechanical art. Beautiful car.


I think so too, and I couldn't help but play with it. lol So for the fun of it, I took a couple of quick little videos of how it works:

Kinsler throttle linkage video (http://www.lateral-g.org/temp/kinslerLS7.wmv)

[Autokraft]

Kurt whos product are you using for the trunk paint????

Mario, I will look tomorrow I can't remember the name off hand. Will let you know.

[Tom.A]

Looks great :bow:

[Aschle]

Thank you for the reply about the tail lights. that linkage is pretty cool too !:thumbsup:

Jason

[Kendall Burleson]

very nice more pics please.:bow: :bow:

[Autokraft]

Kurt whos product are you using for the trunk paint????

Mario, its Plasticoat

[sixtnine]

Awesome build. I love the Kinsler setup. Will the Camaro have a standard front end or RS setup? The tailights are designed after std non-RS and look very nice and clean. Just curious if the owner was going to carry that over to the front end as well.

[XcYZ]

It will have the standard grill, an Endura bumper, and Marquez front marker lights. :thumbsup:

[Beegs]

Everytime I check this thread I have to put a bib on. My wife thinks it's strange how I just sit, stare and drool!

Paint is deep and straight, headers are tucked up perfect, the Kinsler linkage is way bada$$, stance is dead nuts, fit and finish...well what can you say...it looks perfect!

Kurt and Scott, you have done an amazing job on this car. :thumbsup:

As always I look forward to more updates...can't wait to see it in person.

[DOOM]

Mario, its Plasticoat

Thanx Kurt!!!!

[Steve1968LS2]

Camaro Performers Magazine has officially "licked the door handle" of this car and will be doing a full feature on it as soon as it's done and running.

In other words.. DIBS!!!!!!!!

VERY NICE!!!!
This car and builder deserve the recognition.:thumbsup: :cheers:

[dplenzig]

That is an awesome build.

Does anyone know if Ring Brothers will be making and selling those taillights, they are the nicest i've seen.

Daren

[tony byram]

Steve, is Camaro Performers going to do an article on Jesse Greenings 71? You can do a back in black issue! Highjack off.

[Vegas69]

That is an awesome build.

I've asked a couple times and I don't think so. I talked to Mike Ring at Sema and he acted like I could get a set but I've never had any luck since.

Very cool, and I couldn't help but notice you guys were rocking out to Great White too. :thumbsup: :lol:

[XcYZ]

That would be Hair Nation on Sirius. :D

[sixtnine]

Any updates?

[camaro2nv]

Man that intake:thumbsup: :unibrow:

[Autokraft]

Car is finished and I delivered it to NY the other day. I will post up some pics of it when I get them uploaded. Look for it in Camaro Performers in the near future:thumbsup:

[awr68]

That's awesome!! Post pics!! :thumbsup:

[C5 Longroof]

Well Shiznit....

Here I am once again getting excited about ANOTHER 69 CAMARO buildup...But ya know, I've realized something, there's a reason there are so many 69 Camaro PT builds: They just flat out look BAD...

And even though this one may share a few ideas, maybe a partial parts list, and some other tricks with a few other 69's, as you watch the build progress, you can't help but smile as you see it establish it's own personality and attitude, stepping away from any possible labeling of it as just "ANOTHER 69 CAMARO"...

Even as a HARDCORE Chevelle guy, a Chevelle WAGON guy none-the-less, I can honestly say that I could follow along to these bad ass builds forever, even if they were all 69 Camaros from here on in...

Congrads on a BEAUTIFUL car...:bow:

[DOOM]

I like this guy^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^:cheers:

[tones2SS]

Can't wait to see pics.
You guys do some great work.:thumbsup:

LMAO!!!!

Awesome car! Absolutely wicked paint!! Subscribing.....

[youthpastor]

Thanks Rick, yesterday was media day and Scott drove up to snap off a bunch of pics

wow..class act all the way...beautiful..BTW- the oil pan fit awesome. if you need an LS pan- this is the place:thumbsup: - Chris

[fleetus macmullitz]

I like the use of dark paint on the non-shiny surfaces; even on the best looking intake on the planet. That trunk treatment is also very cool.

Very understated style. So much so that the car looks like it was 'factory built' ... a dream factory run by Kurt, Troy, Chip, Alan to name just a few.

[tones2SS]

Does Autocraft have any photos of the car finished. I would really like to see them.
Again, great job guys!!!!!:hail: :cheers:

[XcYZ]

The chin spoiler isn't on in this pic...

[Flash68]

dammit that thing looks perfect.

[BBC71Nova]

dammit that thing looks perfect.

Uh..Yep. My thoughts exactly :lateral:

[Al Moreno]

Dang! one pic? come on Scott, what do we have to do, beg?

Pretty Pleeeease. :lol:

[XcYZ]

lol, that's all I have which is what Kurt sent me. I never got a chance to get back to Autokraft to take pics (and drive the car) before it was shipped. I really wanted to, but just couldn't make my schedule work.

Hey Kurt, we need more. :D

[Teetoe_Jones]

How much for 22 minutes of alone time with that engine bay? I was caught at work trying to get an extension cord to power my laptop into the bathroom upstairs.
Love that intake!

Uh...build that intake!

Anvil could make plenty 'O $$$ just selling the individual runners as your kickoff to 'Gifts for Gearheads' week on the website.

:D

[tones2SS]

That is a nice looking car.
Gonna look even better with the spoiler on.
Great job!!:bow: :thumbsup:

[89 RS]

Sweet ride! The intake on that thing is awesome.

[Rybar]

Wow guys, that camaro just is so freaking SICK. :hail: Can't wait to see the CP full feature on it, however I have really enjoyed watching this build thread on it. Thanks Autokraft and Scott for keeping us updated.

I just love the clean simple yet fuctional build of this car. :thumbsup:

[fleetus macmullitz]

Has this one been in CP yet?

Don't thank me Tony.

Its community service that I agreed to do, part of my plea bargain. :(

[customcam]

Awesome to Blast the track or street with :thumbsup:

[dlouie87]

what color are those rims?

[98ssnova]

Are those the ring bro head light on that car they definatly stand out to me look good but i think they are a little out of place on the car just my .02

[XcYZ]

what color are those rims?

It's called anthracite. Kind of a charcoal grey.

[awr68]

What a great car! Nicely done! :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

It looks awesome . Nice work.

[tmadden]

Ridiculously sweet!!!!:hail:

[Beegs]

Old thread!
Anyone know where this car ended up?
I sold it to Stuart, I believe he had Autokraft build it.
I'd love to see it and maybe buy it back.

I don't believe Stuart owned this car. Scott Gulbranson who used to own this site built this car himself. Autocraft did paint it though for him. Scott sold this car last summer.
