[Ron in SoCal]

Great work Scott. I'll be interested in your driving impressions compared to your last car....:thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Great work Scott. I'll be interested in your driving impressions compared to your last car....:thumbsup:This car will be a little heavier than the blue 69.It will have full interior,A/C,Power windows,power door locks,Radio & CD changer,sound deadner.Hoping it drive's good.But I can alway's put Kevin in the thing to really make it look fast.:lol:

[coolwelder62]

Try Tom - [email protected] he has tons of stuff

[Mean 69]

Looking good, Scott. I looked at some of the pictures of the front inner fenderwells, but couldn't tell if you had modified them for tire clearance. On my own car, I can tell that this will be the limiting factor (first order) for fitting a bigger tire up front and still having decent turning radius. How did you deal with that? I know Anvil makes composite units that have more room, but the thought of spending $1k on fiberglass inner fenders (or more on CF versions) is tough to swallow if I could find a decent way to modify the existing, stock/repop units I have on the car.

What did you end up doing in this regard?

What did you end up doing in this regard?
MarkMark the iner fender's are repos from OER.They fit like a saddle on a hog.But its my back spacing that allow's me to run wide frt. rim's.You need narrow frame rail's and corvette style back spacing to get this done.The turning radius is all that the ARG rack & pinion will give.

[coolwelder62]

[Cris@JCG]

Need a side view pic Scott! Looking good :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

[WSSix]

Really like the blacked out rear panel. Did the 2nd gen Z28s come that way?

Keep it up Scott you're almost there.

[coolwelder62]

only big block cars got it.... back then having a satin black tail panel was a sign of having a big block car. it was a sin to do it to a small block car but i guess all the ls cars think they found the loop hole.lol

[waynieZ]

Great work Scott it looks awesome.

That's funny right there. I would guess that means the fit quality was less than good?

[coolwelder62]

That's funny right there. I would guess that means the fit quality was less than good?On the driver side iner fender where it bolts to outer fender lip every hole was about a 1/2 inch.On the pass side the holes for the iner fender braces dont line at all.

[Rick D]

On the driver side iner fender where it bolts to outer fender lip every hole was about a 1/2 inch.On the pass side the holes for the iner fender braces dont line at all.

Scott, thats why I ALWAYS use org GM inner fenders, I have never had an aftermarket fit. You pay more if you don't have them but it's worth it.

[coolwelder62]

Scott, thats why I ALWAYS use org GM inner fenders, I have never had an aftermarket fit. You pay more if you don't have them but it's worth it.The iners that were on the camaro were so rusted,and all the other I was finding weren't much better.So I poped for some repops.I only took about 3 hours to make them line up.My time isn't worth much.That what customers tell all the time.:lol: But they are on and line up now.Maybe the next car I will try pound out some from scratch.:_paranoid

[Ron in SoCal]

Rick/Scott - just so you know, on my 69 I used AMDs and they fit like a glove. Prob the only repop parts that did on my car!

Welcome Scott! Just to clarify, I was referring only to the inner fenders, although I also installed an AMD lower valence which was just as good...:thumbsup:

Welcome Scott! Just to clarify, I was referring only to the inner fenders, although I also installed an AMD lower valence which was just as good...:thumbsup:After seing the fit that Dan Holahan got for Jay Hillard on his 69 I thought I would give AMD a try.:thumbsup:I need all the help I can get.

Beautiful car!

Is that a Ford scoop? Looks like the same thing I've been contemplating putting on my Camaro for a while now.
Same with the stripe.
And the window trim.
And a few of the dash touches.

You know what??! It's getting damn tough to be different these days!!!! :willy:

Gorgeous!

Well this week end went real well for the 72 camaro.Will be softening the front spring's and the sway bar a little.Charge the A/C and it will ready For Sale.Exhaust is a on the loud or (Pissed off) side.But in 6th gear at 70 mph it's pretty quiet.:thumbsup:

Camaro looks sweet! Scott, you do some great work man. I would have never thought of incorporating that Torino hood scoop on a 2nd gen Camaro, nice work.

Camaro looks sweet! Scott, you do some great work man. I would have never thought of incorporating that Torino hood scoop on a 2nd gen Camaro, nice work.Thank's.After I thought of the Idea I saw it on a 70 camaro.But I went ahead and put my twist on it.:thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

This last week I instaled a set of Ride Tech's Single ajustable coil overs on the camaro.Man what a differants there is in shocks.These new ride tech shocks are night and day so much better than what I had.And they really worked well at RTTH event this last week.As soon as the lift is free I will get some photos of the shocks all mounted up,and have Tom post'em.The strange coil overs I had on the car made It drive with a little bounce.The ride techs ride so much smoother and have the same spring rates.2 weeks ago I drove the camaro 35 miles to a car show(bummer no autox) I noticed the back of the hood bounced a little.After I changed to ride techs no more hood bouncing just a nice smooth cadillac like ride.And at RTTH this week we made a few ajustments and bang we were in the Top 10 shoot out sat. afternoon.Ride Tech shock's and Kevin Miller wheeling the car is a good combo.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Car looks awesome, how is it on the highway? Does it fight you alot with the big fronts? I have 285's on all corners of my 1996 impala ss and it's not bad at all unless the road surface is really grooved bad.

I have 285's on all corners of my 1996 impala ss and it's not bad at all unless the road surface is really grooved bad.The new Ride Tech coil overs really improved the drive & ride qualtiy over the strange coil overs.The car does not seem to wonder at all w/the 295's.I have not really driven the camaro w/the 315's yet.I am going to save those for another project.I have noticed a slight movement in the steering wheel because I just have a reg. Ujoint conected to the steering column.I need to get one w/ a rubber bushing in the column end of it.Thanks for the good word's.:thumbsup:

Car looks like it came out great Scott! I've been trying to fine tune my car so that I'll be fast, then I realized I could solve all of my problems by painting it orange. Between your car, Brian Hobaugh's 2nd gen, Dale Jr's DSE car, Mary's car, and Bad Penny, orange seems to be the fast color.

Scott, if I hadn't already over spent this year, your car would be looking foward to a long season of me driving your Camaro in the American Street Car Series. Other than the HP it might need to fight with Brian and Kyle, it has everything it needs to be top a top 5 car everywhere else, but maybe Optima, and I don't think anything but a vette, can beat a vette. For the price, it is a perfect starting point for somebody that wants to be very competitive in our sport. I wish that it had been available 2 1/2 years ago, you would have saved me a bunch of $$$$$$:lol: Good Luck with the sale! P.S. my wife freaks every time she sees me looking at your threads:thumbsup:

[71RS/SS396]

Don't waste your money on a cam and heads, the stock pistons are going to be the limiting factor. You'll only be able to safely run about 6 psi of boost with the cast pistons.

I was going to run the double forged piston's so I can pump the boost to over 40psi.:D
