69 Camaro "War"

[War]

Thought I would introduce my project. I started this 3 years ago and had all the fab about finished then decided I wanted to run 19's all the way around so I cut it all back out and started over.

Some brief specs:
LS7 T56 DSE front sub DSE Qlink
345/30/19 on a 19X12.5 rear
285/35/19 on a 19X10 front

Here is the rendering John McBride did.

And the day I bought it( Hey the body was nice)

It looks alright if that's what your into I suppose.....:thumbsup:

[Rybar]

Was just checking this out on the site the other day. That is UNREAL fabwork for sure. Killer build and thanks for posting :thumbsup:

[DFRESH]

You guys are amazing over there---the creativity, the artistic approach, the craftsmanship---it's great what you guys have done for the market--always been a big fan.

Doug

[customcam]

Should be ashamed of yourself not posting this build earlier for us to see LOL:D
Just incredible and Unique styling that Marquez has. We need more....

[minendrews68]

Not really impressed with all that metal work....................................Just BLOWN AWAY is all!!!!!!!!!!!!!Really, that really looks nice, and yes, I'm jealous. If you need another one to practice on I know a guy in Arkansas that..............well you know. lol

Thank you
I hope by may. There is still alot of little stuff I have to fab and plumb the car then blow it all apart and powder coat the tub.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Worf is pissed you didnt make him a place to sit..

[1badchevelle]

I have been following this build on Marquez site in January. I met with Pasqual while at a show.

DAMMM you are one lucky guy to have a car made by him. The attention to detail is :wow: amazing.

[GregWeld]

Well -- I'd just need a whole bunch of new tools! So I showed this to my wife... and she said that just as soon as I could fix the leaking toilet.. I could buy a new pack of sandpaper. So I'm on my way now!

Phenomenal craftsmanship! Man I wish I had enough life left in order to learn how to do that!

[waynieZ]

Awesome fab work. I wouldn't even put rugs in it, it would be a shame to hide that beautiful work.

[xpsled]

The Fabrication Work In This Car Has Taken It To The Next Level, You Have Made Me Reconsider Where I Am Headed With The Fabrication Work On My Car. Absolutely Awesome.

[T_Raven]

I agree with everyone else, that's some amazing metal work.

[WILWAXU]

Great looking build! Look forward to seeing more.

[DOOM]

Jason all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!! These guys are masters!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE FINISH THIS CAR! Orion is the car that started me on this whole deal and it kills me not to see that car finished :( It would be nice to see a finished Marquez Camaro........

[monza]

Oh great just another black 69.....:rolleyes:

Ya right, that thing is off the hook nice, WOW for sure.

Greg, I don't know how old you are but I'm 45 and just started doing this. I did the fab work in these pics. I can't show the stuff Pascual is working on for the car but it is amazing. Alot of new things coming out. Anyway point is an old dog can learn new tricks

[War]

Jason all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!! These guys are masters!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE FINISH THIS CAR! Orion is the car that started me on this whole deal and it kills me not to see that car finished :( It would be nice to see a finished Marquez Camaro........

Mario,
I will finish this car.

[Bow Tie 67]

Unreal, that is some very nice work. :thumbsup: It does not look like you need help with that kind of talent. I'll assume its time constraints. How long have you been working on this car?

[War]

Off and on with the redo 3 years. Time to finish it!

[DOOM]

Mario,
I will finish this car.

Jason keep the pictures coming !!!!!!!! I want to see every inch of this build..:hail:

[Ricochet]

Jason - It's about time you spilled the beans about WAR! Guys - pics don't do this thing justice. I have seen this in person quite a few times and walk away shaking my head. Crazy part - this is the first time Jason has done any of this - which impresses me to no end. Although he does have some great direction under the watchful eye of Pasqual. Wait until you see what else they have up their sleeve with this thing. :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Jason, you are doing a great job. What you have done so far looks awsome.
Keep us posted on this build please. Car is going to look killer!!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[War]

Here is a couple pics of the rockers. We cut the old ones of and made new ones out of 16 ga to get rid of the pinch weld at the bottom but did not change the original lines.

Jason,

Awesome work! I've been waiting for this thread. Metal work is off the hook, as is the design!

:thumbsup: :hail:

[Cris@JCG]

The metal work on this 69 is awsome! :thumbsup:

[Serpa69]

This car was minitubed qlinked with all DSE stuff. He did not like the way it was so he took out the plasma and redid it. This car will set the bar for all future 69 camaro builds :hail:

[fleetus macmullitz]

Awesome fab work. I wouldn't even put rugs in it, it would be a shame to hide that beautiful work.

X2. :thumbsup:

If there's such a thing as see through carpet...this car should have it.

[Vegas69]

Love it.....just hope you didn't blow your wad in the beginning stages. We all know just how much these babies can $1000 you to death.

[Jay Hilliard]

I say just clear coat over the bare metal. It would a shame to paint and cover this great work. The interior work is UNREAL. I would cry if I was the one covering it up with sound deadener and carpet.

[HOLOHAN'S HOT ROD SHOP]

Impressive, great metal finishing skills, nice attention to detail....

I'm really looking forward to see how awesome this car comes out. If it looks this good now, I can only imagine how nice it will be complete.
GREAT WORK Jason.:thumbsup: :cheers:

[War]

Here is a few pics showing the rear tail pan and bumper mods. Pascual wanted to keep the stock gas filler and plate location but build a 2 piece rear diffuser. I ended cutting off all of the tailpan from the bumper down and started over.

Your fabrication is truely a work of art. What I find amazing is that you said that you are just learing to fabricate, is this correct? I think that you are setting the bar high with future builds! Can't wait to see this masterpiece completed!

killer fab work outstanding I love the car that was at the SEMA show

Question ? On your panels are you useing a male female buck and press ? Bead roller ? Or tracer buck on a pullmax ? Or what ever else you have up your sleeve ? I think I'm going to change a few things on the Cuda I'm builbing after seeing your work. Very inspiring.

Mark

[phillym5]

Finally you put this thread up....
Im thinking this will be the baddest 69 yet!! :bow:

I really can't wait to see what else your going to do with the car. :woot:

[DOOM]

Jason I went through your build thread and have a question... Can you tell me what method you use for closing or opening the body gaps.

[Bow Tie 67]

I have the same questions? Also, will all the body seams be smoothed?

I'm using a bead roller. I would love to have a pullmax though, that would open alot of new doors.

[War]

Jason I went through your build thread and have a question... Can you tell me what method you use for closing or opening the body gaps.

1/8" round bar and welder for closing, grindin and weldin for opening. There alot in of steps and it takes alot of time. I hammer and dolly edges as flat and thin as I can get before adding or removing material. On edges of quarters and such if there soft I will cut and add rod to get a sharp edge. You have to go slow and take your time with lots of hammer and dolly work. I seen some guys make a mess out of panels. Pacual said you can have your gaps out of bondo or metal, you choose.

I had to re-skin both doors and I fully welded the inside so there are no seams

Here is some pics of the doors

Most of the seams will be smoothed

[DOOM]

Jason THANX!!
I get it now, this was a MAJOR concern with my build. So when you add the 1/8 inch round bar you then weld the bar the complete lenght of the edge correct :question: Tig or Mig:question:

[bentfab]

Thanks !!!

Very nice work,This will be something to see when done

Im still mesmerized that this is your first time at it... :bow:

[waynieZ]

Unfortunately no new progress.

[War]

Thought I would post some pics of the new latches and strikers I installed. Didn't care for the stock ones much so I picked up a pair from a Lexus IS350. Doors close much more quite and with little effort.

[Ricochet]

Nice latches Jason! Pasqual showed me those when I was down there. I like the way the doors feel when you open/close them.

[War]

Thanks Chris and Brent. Bet those could be made to work on a 55! Better call Roger.

[camaro2nv]

Unreal, you think you've seeen the best and then someone else posts something new. Someone just raised the car. I guess Ill have to get down to that shop! My buddy Josh keeps buggin me to go. Im going to have to take him up on it.

[CG3D]

I can verify after closing the door and being used to 'normal' gm latches and then almost wrapping the door around the a-pillar from the outside-in...these are some incredible latches...you could push the door shut with a feather.
I think I almost gave Jason a heart attack when I ...um...'closed' the door with a little less 'finesse' than was required. (He did say "try closing the door" like it was difficult....pfft ...)

[T_Raven]

That's a pretty cool idea with the latches. Do you guys usually find normal latches all that hard to close though? I love the way my 67's doors shut compared to all of my newer vehicles. They close with little effort, I'm always yelling at people for slamming them.

[nvr2fst]

Jason,
Lookin good every time you post!

[War]

Thanks Dave

[monza]

Jason as I mentioned earlier, killer build! Just curious, your cars at Marquez shop, do you work there or your there building with him mentoring over your shoulder? Are they doing the new work? Did you do most of this before going to his shop? I guess I'm just blown away... if it's your first time doing this how professional and over the top WAR is looking. Hopefully my question makes sense and is not read with a negative tone?

Anyways maybe my question is really just a big compliment, keep the pics coming, love the build!

Dave,

First thanks for the compliment. It is my first time doing this, I'm a carpenter by trade. I do not work there, I did for a few weeks before Sema to help them on the 56. Pascual was gracious enough to let me use a corner of the shop and his cool tools. It is also nice to have him there to bounce design ideas of of, he has a ton of them. He comes up with the design ideas, I build it. I just keeps snowballing.

[DFRESH]

Wow---maybe being addicted to drugs or alky would be cheaper---after looking at this thread a couple times a week, I have some serious wants.

You are doing an amazing job---I wish that a build book could be done on your ride---I would love a hard copy of all these details--ie the latches---there are so many one off and amazing artistic yet functional things happening here. Please keep sharing them with us---

Thanks alot. I was looking at your car, very nice. I envy you being able to drive it and taking your kids to the shows.

Would love to see some pics of your 56, love that year.

Here is a shot of the rearend mocked up at ride hieght. The panhard bar worked out real well on the new crossmember and now have plenty of room for exhaust,filter/regulator, and shock resevoirs. I now have a 13.5" eye to eye measurment for the shocks. The floor was also raised for the mufflers to have more ground clearance.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Literally one of the first cars that i am adamant about(almost forcefully) about NOT painting... NOT covering...


PLEASE... just CLEAR COAT it... THATS ALL... THAT CAR DESERVES IT!

and people need to see the amount of work... dude really.

Looks great guys, its nice to see that alot of pride was taken even in the areas that will never be seen in the finished product, the sad part is 99.9 percent of the people out there will never understand the amount of time and work that went into that. As a builder I can appreciate it! Glad to see some more local boys doing nice work. Are you going to coat the bottom or paint it? :thumbsup:

Jason,
I Talked to Rodger about our joking PMs.... you never now?

[WSSix]

Amazing. I love the work.

[Nick.V70]

BADASS!!!!!

Jason so I take it this car turned out to be a bigger project than you first figured. I know you told me you where having alot of work done to your car but man I never thought it would have this much detail done to it.

[WSSix]

Ok, sort of off topic but possibly not. Who owns Orion and who's building it? I've seen it mentioned and I thought a Jason was the owner? Is this the same car or another one? Just curious as it seems Orion is a very elusive yet extremely popular car and has fab work done to it along the lines of War here. So yeah, I'm confused and looking for more info on Orion. Someone unconfuse me please.

As a builder I can appreciate it! Glad to see some more local boys doing nice work. Are you going to coat the bottom or paint it? :thumbsup:

Thanks, appreciate the compliment. The bottom will be powder coat and some Line-X.

[War]

Ok, sort of off topic but possibly not. Who owns Orion and who's building it? I've seen it mentioned and I thought a Jason was the owner? Is this the same car or another one? Just curious as it seems Orion is a very elusive yet extremely popular car and has fab work done to it along the lines of War here. So yeah, I'm confused and looking for more info on Orion. Someone unconfuse me please.

Trey,
Orion is owned by Jon LaRue a mod on this site and Marquez is building the car. This is my car, a different one, that Marquez is doing work to as well. I just can't divulge any information on what that is yet. I can say it is alot of new product that is going to be available to purchase.

You can see pics of Orion on there site as well as here.

[War]

Way to squeeeeze them in there! Not to bad for a ROUGH carpenter.

Jason,
I Talked to Rodger about our joking PMs.... you never now?

And this coming from a FINISH carpenter!

[War]

Looks like the best ever camaro Orion is getting serious twin brother :bow:

Orion is a Badass car, I would love to see them get done at the same time.

[War]

Literally one of the first cars that i am adamant about(almost forcefully) about NOT painting... NOT covering...


PLEASE... just CLEAR COAT it... THATS ALL... THAT CAR DESERVES IT!

and people need to see the amount of work... dude really.

Thanks but I would like a few creature comforts like seats and carpet.

What was all that talk about a "rough" carpenter..... Lexus door latches and seats and carpet.....PPSSSSHHHH

[War]

I even like floors in my truck beds.

[WSSix]

Thanks for clarifying Jason. I hope they both get done around the same time as well. Sooner than later of course.

[ironworks]

I'm finding that is alot more common then I would have thought. Go figure.

That's why we are put a pick bed with a floor in dave's camaro....

Hey now. You know Ive moved up from that title years ago. Im now called... ah hell I forgot.
Didnt know roughers could be so precise, must be that tack welding class required for steel stud work. Joking set aside, it been a pleasure so far watching your new found talent.

Ill Pm you a couple of items tomorrow for your reading

[DOOM]

Jason between you and Gonzo you guys got my head spinning!!! Every time I look at your car I see a new detail. I like the way you finished the rear valance lower lip nice and clean. Are you going to do a valance exhaust?? Like Orion...:cheers:

[byron]

how are you embossing the sheet metal? are you using dies in a pullmax? are you pressing them with male and female dies. Id really like to know your process. Looks outstanding. wondering if you have a simpler way than how i do it.:thumbsup:

[81s]

i duuno how I missed this build up until now but:hail: :hail:


Hey.... ANy plans to sell floor pans like those ??? We know they arent "massed produced, but I am sure people will pay with their lives for these pans.

[bentfab]

I'm using a bead roller. I would love to have a pullmax though, that would open alot of new doors.

Here's your answer.

[byron]

that was going to be my next guess. are you bead rolling the corners aswell or hand dolling them. those corners are incredibly hard to make look that good with a bead roller. very nice i apreciate the reply. i will post pics of my chopped and wedge sectioned 69 camaro once i have all the exterior sheetmetal back on it to see what you all think. thanks again.

To run the Short course events it has to have stock pick up points so you have to start with a chassis, it does not mean we will use much of it. I'm doing a trade with Justin for the long travel and will Uses these new internal bump stop Fox shocks. I found waiting to here back on the R1 engine.

It goes in for body and paint in May. So i have alot to get done in that time frame.

Ever had a part of the car you were putting off working on? Mine was the top of the cowl. It was hurt and I should have just replaced it but I finally got around to fixing it. Welded up a all the pinch welds on the car and sharpened the rest of the edges.

Jason.. Lookin good !! I have to ask you a question. I see you brazed welded the rocker, is it better than miging or tiging ?

Mario its silicone bronze rod with the tig. Honestly I think we ran out of steel rod and used the bronze. I like it, grinds like butter and is plenty strong for the sheet metal work. I try to tig as much as I can. It hammers out and grinds easy. I also use the mig so I don't know if one is better or worse I just found that I kind of use both. Just my unprofessional opinion.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Jason, I hate to think that your very creative and so well executed fab work will be covered up by something as pedestrian as carpet. :wow:

I see only one solution...install the insulation and cover it with duplicate panels of your fab work. :D



Or, do what you want.

:lol:

Nice, Jason if you get bored on yours you can come and hang out over here, I'll feed you and give you plenty to drink (Beer, Soda, Jack .... etc..). I have a ton of parts sitting here but have not found the motivation to really get anything done. OK Motivation is there just been busy.

[War]

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate that.

I have a question for someone that might know. I have to redo the pedals because of moving the pivot point back. What is the rod travel on the clutch master? I believe the hrdroboost is 15/16" but don't know about the clutch.
http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo148/wartym/DSC_000829240003.jpg

I'm going to use another hiem on the brake and the pivot will be behind the arm so I want to get the ratio right.

[War]

Did you fabricate the bar you've raised?

:D

:rofl: No....hardly, just the one holding the column.

[waynieZ]

Jason Awesome work. I love the idea of moving the Hydraboost and clutch master back like that It will be a lot less cluttered in that area. This build is amazing.

[Payton King]

that everyone tries to shoot for on the clutch is 6:1, which I think is the factory ratio. I personally have mine about 4.5:1 as I like a quick clutch. It is a little tough to get use to on the starts, but you can really bang the gears once you get rolling.

I noticed you are using the Mcleod master. If I am not mistaken it is a 1 inch bore instead of the Gm 7/8's bore. Make sure you speak with the clutch manufacturer about that. I had one of those and I could not use it with my Textralia clutch as the extra flow would invert pressure plate fingers. Obviously if you are going with Mcleod it will work fine. You probably knew this but a heads up just incase.

Really an outstanding car you have going. I would scuff it and shoot clear on it. I would had to cover all of that fantastic work!

[ironworks]

Looking good.

1 Question did you make the steering wheel drop down bracket from a Garden shovel? Just curious....

Payton,

The GM is 3/4" bore Mcleod is 13/16" Tick performance sells an 4th gen F body upgrade with a tilton 7/8" bore. I fabricated a custom mount and used a tilton 7/8" master. I have only driven the car a few miles with the new setup, one thing I notice getting into reverse is much easier. :thumbsup:



Jason,

I would not worry about ratio on the clutch, you have the opportunity to set it up to your liking. Personally I would ditch the Mcleod, I chased an intermittent problem with mine even after a rebuild, use a tilton, they are quality units.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

DAMN...Your kinda good at this stuff..:lol:

[Teetoe_Jones]

Typically max travel on a plastic T56 master is 15/16". Any further it bottoms out and cracks and leaks. That looks like a McLeod master to me, so the travel should be the same if it is for a T56 application.
I like your use of recycled garden shed tools to make hot rod parts. Might be a market for stuff like that. Seems unfair you have such talent.

See what I did there?

Tyler

[Payton King]

I though you were speaking of pedal ratio not the stroke of the master. Sorry for the useless info. LOL

That is what I get for doing 2 things at once.

Tyler, I got the master from you and it is for a T56. I'll run some adjustable stops on it. Have you heard of any problems with these Mcleod's.

That looks pretty nice for a guy sells womens under garments. I bet you have a jig hidden in your garage somewhere.

Yeah, but come on Jason, I mean really--how are the gaps bro. That's all we care about.

This is me introducing myself to you at Pleasanton show "My name is Doug, how are you?".

This is you responding "Before I answer that, is this the Gap Camaro?"

You know, coming from you, that hurts man. :lol:

Thus the rise of the "Ironworks Panel Gap Spray" was invented at the autocross shortly thereafter.

Car looks great man---keep pics coming.

WOW!!! Thats all I can say!!!:hail:

Wait......I cannot believe D Renner, The Gran Master Funk DFRESH has posted on my thread. This is truly a great honor. Sure working with top panty models all day is great, but this.....this, I don't know what to say.

I am very sorry about that day in Pleasanton. With all the people in lawn chairs lined up to see you I thought you were Mr. Renners roady. (I was expecting someone much shorter)

And yes, I must admit I don't use panel gap spray that often, but when I do I prefer Ironworks Panel Gap Spray.

Stay thirsty my friends.

I'm glad a read a few more posts before posting. I was going to say the exact same thing and it would have been a double post. LOL!! I must admit, sometimes I just post on some threads without reading all the way thru. But, this car is such a thing of beauty I'm scared I will miss something if I stop reading. That floor belongs in a museum somewhere. Not covered with carpet.

[srh3trinity]

As uncomfortable and loud as a car without carpet would be, the trade off for being able to look at that fantastic fab work every time you drive the car may be worth it.

[War]

Thanks for all the compliments, I appreciate it, but it will definitely all get covered up.
A few of the little things that were made on the self. Still have more to go.

FYI - my comment wasn't referring to your comment.

One of my favorite ways to compliment someone's work is to say it doesn't suck. ;) Like, Hey Recovery Room, your interiors do not suck! :D

I guess mine was an inside joke too. :lol: :cheers:

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I get it..now! My bad.:cheers: ( That is why I tell Rodger everything is junk)

Somehow I think the largely unseen, yet still powerful Renner presence in this thread helped you two find your way towards understanding. :thumbsup:

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I think your right, The force is strong with that one.... his power is all affecting.

[ironworks]

Doug's presence helps bring to miss aligned panels together better then my door gap improvement spray. This is the why I have used him as our spokesperson.

Renner for President with the Fashionista for vice president. That's change we can all believe in. Plus Jason doesn't have much going on right now. :D :D
