So I know its not a muscle car or the typical camaro, BUT we have designed this project to be a pro-touring based, road loving vehicle with excellent weight distribution and handling. Initial calculations of the frame, engine, trans, suspension put us at just about 50/50 distribution with the motor set back.
The chassis is custom designed and incorporates C4 vette suspension front and rear, and a fuel injected small block/overdrive (modified lt1 intake on a standalonewith dual sync distributor). We've done a bunch of laser cut parts, and followed the c4 rear truss theme throughout.
Gives you all a bit of insight into how I build my stuff on our custom frame table/jigs. The frame is within a 16th over 16 feet. thought that was pretty good, considering the bad experiences I have had with stuff from places like fatman (don't ask, it was horrible)
The rear shockwaves are only there for show right now, we have to finish machining our rear bellcranks and install them. but thats where they will go. The chassis isnt done yet, but we have to get as much done for Christmas as we could to unveil it to the client..... it was a suprise from his wife! He loved it, and more will come on this one later. still have to do crossembers, trans mount, exhaust, body mounts, etc.
Watch for more on this in the future! We also are just starting a complete crate 69 camaro with an LSA and six speed auto, and complete Speedtech suspension. That one is next.
