2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

Car is coming along great Marty! Where did you get your afco radiator from?

I actually bought it from www.hoodpins.net but he sold the site to Anvil back in May. However I think Tom at www.sportmachine.net is a dealer for Afco and should be able to get you the radiator.

And why isn't this car going to be at SEMA ???????:D

we are going to have nice outside spot so I can get a tan while I am sleeping near the car.

Somebody got a new avatar......

I was looking at an old thread on these gas tank issues i'm having and i saw a comment you made like three years ago, i looked and had to do a double take....

Oh, and btw, the mountain bike, if put behind the seat, will scratch up the plastic, ask me how i know lol....and the way my cars been going, i will need a bike to get me home as AAA comes to get project "dis-traction"....although i did hit 136 on a freeway onramp sat....maybe....hehehehe

[syborg tt]

Yep, It's getting close to being done. Kenny is building the lower dash and as I type the TMI Seat cover are being installed. Plenty more Kenny Style Pictures coming today.

ps -and that is the reason I put the rack on the side of the car.

www.2ndchancecamaro.com


Good Morning All,

I'm starting getting worried that this car might be turning out nicer then I want it to. Kenny & the guys are turning my driver into a really
nice driver and that wasn't suppose to happen till after we changed out the front subframe and did the crazy interior modifications.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211524-1ff8c642-me.jpg

We are still planning to add a red pin stripe line around the black on the hood

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211529-3e7f0eb3-me.jpg


and the first rendering that Carter did. Sure would have been a lot less work

2013 10-03 2nd Chance - Livin Loud with Kicker
Livin Loud with Kicker
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Afternoon,

Moving to the Sound System I wanted to do something simple for this version of the car. I asked Victor Fulton if he would do a
rendering of the idea or Vision as Bob said that I had for the package tray. My goal was to have something similar to the 5th
generation Camaro with a 3rd brake light. I think Victor nailed it.


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211838-f524858c-me.jpg


Right now we are looking at using a iTouch for the source and possible using the Kicker PX i50.2 Controller to power the speakers.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2020/05/14/20200514145824-101f4941-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2020/05/14/20200514145826-2f36a215-me.jpg


I picked up a set of Kicker 6" Round 3 way speakers for the front kick panels and a set of 6 x 9's for the rear. Nothing to fancy
because version 2 of the interior is going to raise the bar.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211325-78cf46b8-me.jpg


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211328-c458978e-me.jpg


We didn't want to reinvent the wheel so I purchase a set of fiberglass kick panels from a gentleman on
www.pro-touring.com. These are very nice and Kenny tells me that they fit perfectly.


http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/78684-2nd-Generation-Camaro-Speaker-Kick-Panels-FS-(AR)


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2020/05/14/20200514145828-3c1d1d36-me.jpg


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2020/05/14/20200514145830-701a739d-me.jpg


In order to do the least amount of fabrication work we ordered up a Marquez fiberglass package tray from the guys at www.camarocentral.com
this will greatly reduce the amount of fabrication time at the interior shop. However, they will still have to build the center section for the 3rd brake light.


http://www.garagescene.net/upload/2020/05/14/20200514150142-de8658e0.jpg


The other option for the source would be from Secret Audio. This being 4 channels vs the 2 channels that the Kicker version offers

Custom Works Carbon Fiber Valve Covers
www.2ndchancecamaro.com


Good Afternoon,


The real Bob John suggested that I put the Carbon Fiber Valve covers on the car now. However I am certain that he is going to say
something about me covering them up with the factory coils. We are hoping to get the billet coil covers but it's not looking good.
Maybe I will order up the red MSD Coils to keep the red theme going.

WOW I just spent the last hour viewing this build thread and this is what I'm talking about very simple no major high dollar product, very well thought out build!!!
I love this build Marty I have a 74 that I a going to start on here pretty soon and this is major motivation to get started on mine!

Are you re-wiring the car if so what setup are you going to use?
Thanks ahead of time

Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind words. I have spent a lot of time planning out this build and over the next 4 years it will keep evolving into a pretty cool car.

As for the wire Harness it is a American Auto Wire Factory Harness. I have used there stuff on all 3 of my projects with Kenny and he has only said good things about them.

[Rick D]

Coming along nicely Marty!! Which wire kit did you get? Part number? I just looked under my dash for the first time the other day :confused18: :bang:

Man this budget thing is hard to keep in line!!!

Budget - Smudget just build the car you want and it doesn't matter how long it takes. As for the harness I will dig up the partners on Monday as I have them at work. It was there full factory fit kit for a 70 with Aftermarket guages.

www.2ndchancecamaro.com


Good Afternoon,


Slight change in the direction of the build. Kenny didn't like the wheel with the new paint so off came the wheels and a new
set was quickly shipped from the Guys at Billet Specialties. Of course Carter did a couple quick rendering with the new
wheels to give us a quick visual of how the car would look.


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211520-c707ec37-me.jpg


Just trying to make sure I keep the pictures Cell Phone quality I used my iphone 4 to snap this picture before I shipped them to Kenny.


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211613-e973838f-me.jpg


and yes Kenny mounted them the day they got there.

Marty, i forgot to ask you, did you upgrade your chassis?

If so, who'd you use and why?

If not, what steering and front suspenders did u use? , thanx,mike

[Thenovaguy]

Any plans for the other wheel and tire setup? Just wondering if they will be up for sale...

The car still has the stock subframe under the car with all of Ride-Techs parts and an Afco 14 to 1 Steering box.

I've ordered up a chassis from Scott Mock which I will build up including another Edelbrock LS motor with a 4l60E Twist Machines Paddle shift set. My goal with that chassis and motor is to Duplicate what Al & his son's are doing with the G5R Camaro. I have always wanted to go all out on a chassis and this will be my chance. It's much cheaper then building another car.

[tubbed69]

wheels are really nice Marty,I like em:thumbsup:

Love the new wheels Marty. By the way, this is how things begin to snowball out of control and into much bigger things....a wheel swap here, chassis swap there. Before you know it, your in the same boat as alot of us.

It's called the Sema Curse. Heck back in 08 or 09 when we took the 57 to Sema. His truck and trailer were stolen and they ditched the trailer with very important car parts in it that were needed to finish the cars for Sema.

Did I mention the Po Po shot the guy in Kenny's truck after a police chase. Kenny even left the bullet holes in the truck.

Nope it was in the Trailer and Kenny was at the helm. Some guy driving like a fool had a near miss with Kenny and he swerved to avoid him and then Kenny rear ended someone. Kenny looked at it in the trailer last night and it looked fine. When he pulls it out of the trailer he said he would look at it. I haven't heard from him today so it sounds like it's okay.

However Kenny's truck is screwed up.

I have a small secret Scott is building me a chassis and when it's complete it will of course have a Bowler 4l60e with the Paddle Shift set up that we never put in Syborg. I have spent many a nights wishing we put it in for this version of the car. But do or die this car will have your paddle shifter in it.

Those bike mounts would be great remote squirt guns, activated by the windshield washing fluid pump. Guy who painted my car put one by the rear bumper. And if your not into practical joking people, u can use it as a bike rinse :lol:

ps - wait till you see next years interior. That one is going to blow everyone out of the water.

2013 10-22 2nd Chance - Air Cleaner
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Evening,

We are getting down to all of the small detail stuff. I had a couple idea's what I wanted for an air cleaner and this one turned out much better then the original idea.

A member on Nasty Z28 suggested I look at Nascar Air Cleaners and then the wheels started to spin. I order a full Carbon Fiber Air Cleaner Assembly from Roush Yates. The were kind enough to ship it out 90 minutes before they were going home so we would get it next day. Great guys and I can't say enough good things about them.

It comes with the edelbrock manifold and its a MSD LS1 box. The best part is the manifold has a mount for it built in.

Nice work! :)

[JKnight]

So did Kenny end up using the modified carbon piece as a template for fabbing it in steel? I only ask because it doesn't look like there was any carbon left other than the base plate...

Looks great, love the approach you're taking with this one!

[syborg tt]

Nice work! :)

Hey Max thank you. I can't wait till next year to be putting it through the paces like you have been doing with your car.

Dang Marty, that was a ton of money for those two pieces to chop up! :G-Dub: :confused59: But, the outcome is killer! Fair warning, this idea may find it's way onto a C-10! Credit will be given where due, if it happens! This thing is turning out awesome. Can't wait to see it in Columbus next year! :cheers:

Good Evening,


Now that we have that trick Billet Battery tray and that ultra reliable Optima battery. Kenny decides last minute that he wants to make
some more cool parts for the underhood. And of course he installed the Ride Tech Fender braces which were the first part I purchased
for this car.

Since he did the battery side you have to do something with the washer tank.

Good Afternoon,


My goal is to do at least one more post today so we can catch up before the car leaves for Sema on Friday.

Coming from the Syclone Typhoon world you make some great Friends. Michael King was kind enough to help us out when the other vendor
decided he would just keep the money and not make them the door handles for the project. When I asked Mike he said sure no problem
just send me the handles and I will take care of you.

Sound control from DEI ( www.designengineering.com ). When you want an old car to feel like a new car take a look at what DEI has to offer.

From Sound Deadening to Heat protection there stuff is top notch.

Good Morning,

Everything comes down to the wire and that seems to be a Sema thing.

Kenny had a friend come over and install the headliner and lay down the padding over the Boom Mat and there new Under Carpet Lite - Sound Absorbion & Insulation. Of course we don't have any pictures because Kenny was in a rush. I am not sure if they would have been worth posting because of his mad Camera skills.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220212040-6771bfb6-me.jpg

The guys at TMI custom made the rear seat to match the front seats. Both Seats were made in leather instead of vinyl. They were
a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with them on future projects.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220212046-3d6939ea-me.jpg

Leave the boot print on the carpet, its perfect for the patina mtn bike effect lol..

Mike

For Sema it will have the bike we received from Downers Grove Trek. It's a 2012 Ticket which I use at Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park or in my Back Yard.

When I decided I wanted to do 2nd Gen Camaro my goal was to find a survivor car that we could turn into something cool. Originally I was looking for a car just like this one ( exactly as I love this color ).

This Gordon Rojewski's 1967 Camaro and I am telling you it's my dream car.

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd375/tjohnson151/Pro%20Touring/CamaroGordonRAD10LagunaGray_zpsd31de1dc.jpg

Then at Good-Guys Columbus the guys at Greening Automotive showed up with this beast. And of course it set the wheels in motion again.

http://garagescene.net/gallery3/var/resizes/Events/2013-Good-Guys-Columbus/69-Valiant-Pissed-Off/2013%2007-12%20GG%20Columbus%20Fair%20Grounds%20%28275%29.JP G

The goal was to have nice paint but not perfect. Just nice. Kenny of course being who Kenny is kept making it nicer and nicer. I'm not worried about scratches dings or small dents on this car as it will add to the character that I so want on the car.

I want people to walk up to the car and see all of the little details that Kenny and the guys did at the shop. The Engine bay has turned out way better then I could have imagined and when you see it with the red MSD coils I hope everyone feels the same way about as I do.

As for the interior I wanted to do Black with Red Accents on Syborg but it just fit the project. So this project had to have all the interior I have been thinking about for years. The cool part is this is just the first version of the interior and the final version is so over the top that I can't wait to start on that version.

I am also looking forward to building the new Scott Mock Subframe up and I am hoping I can convince Al's kids to come over and help me detail out the suspension components like they are doing on there 5th gen Camaro. I have a few crazy idea's for it as well.

I had Syborg insured with them and Sr's 57 is still with them, as well as his 62 and 98 C5 Corvette that only has 399 miles on it.

Funny thing with the vette is they asked how many miles a year do you plan to drive it. He said 1 foot

[Opie]

Some day, I'm going to sneak in and take the Corvette for a cross country drive.

[srh3trinity]

The car really came out nice. I have said it before, but your thread has become a blueprint for building a nice second gen. I have borrowed a few ideas like the DSE 67-69 brackets and the Ridetech weld on brackets (which I may not use after all, but they really clean things up). The DSE folks even called me and told me I ordered the wrong MC brackets, but after seeing how it fit on your car I stuck with that part number.

This was my first SEMA and it was so awesome seeing all these cars I've only read about and seen pix of. As soon as I saw the mountain bike sticking out of the side of a 2nd gen I knew I'd found 2nd Chance. Seeing it in person makes a world of difference, i mean you know it's nice from the pics but you don't get a feel for how nice until you see it up close and personal. Very cool car and I took a ton of pics for my sister who also owns a second Gen and needs a new direction.

The car has been quietly resting at Kenny's in Arkansas due to the Awesome winter we have been having here in Chicago. It look like I will be picking it up at Indy Good Guys in June.

So for now I am currently working on the 2010 Camaro that I took in partial trade for the Syborg truck. I am trying to get it ready for a couple track events this summer and the mostly the Power Tour. I am working with the Guys at LG Motorsports on the suspension and chassis stiffeners. Next year I will most likely do the full DSE conversion. But for now it just wasn't in the budget.

I also think the car needs more color and of course some Carbon Fiber as it it way to yellow.

ps It sucks having two cars to work on as I don't know which one to work on first. However I did get this really cool chassis from Scott Mock for the 70 which I will work over the next year or two.

You bringing the 5th gen to the Power Tour?

Are you long hauling?

This will be my 6th Power Tour - and it starts in my backyard.

I don't have the budget or the time off for the long haul this year - so I might make it to Knoxville and hit up the Dragon on the way home.

[syborg tt]

Looks like i am going to start in Hamond Indiana and finish in the Dells. I am hoping my sister lets me take my Nephew as I think he will have a blast.

Since Kenny will still have the 70 the plan is to take the 5th gen again. It's hard to beat the creature comforts of that car.

ps I don't have the time off either and my wife spent the vacation budget in Punta Cana last week with my daughters

Thanks Marty!

Nice - I blew half the budget getting the motor together this winter, and now I am sending the car to fat camp - to get the front end a little bit more muscular. You should see those updates in a few weeks!

My parents still live up in Rockford, so the end of the trip I could crash up there but I just don't see it happening after I get the final bill from front end conversion.

Let us know how the 5th gen Pfadt parts install.

I found there instructions less than ideal - and honestly man Corvetteforum is a terrible source of getting information. You basically have to pull teeth to find people that have the knowledge and are willing to share it. Unlike this site, ls1tech, and pro-touring - people are a lot more helpful.

Of course thats just my opinion - haha.

2nd Chance Camaro - Size Does Matter - Which in the end might not Matter
Size Does Matter- Which in the end might not Matter

Posted: Nov 04, 2011 www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Last week I was looking at the tires stored in Mario's 69 Camaro. I couldn't help but notice that his tire looked skinny compared to the 335 BFG tire sitting in my garage. I kept telling Mario that my 335 was much bigger then his 345 and he said no way. So I took his tire home to find out if I was correct. I figured a side by side test would be the only way to prove that the BFG KDW 2 are indeed bigger.

Close Up of the Michelin 345 & the BFG 295 -- Not much of a difference

The BFG 335 height compared to the BFG 295 - you can see the difference is much greater

Also the height is much taller on the Michelin.

The plan has to been to run the 295's on the street and the 335's for Good-Guys events. In the end I may only be able to run the 295 on the back of 2nd Chance Camaro because I can't get the bracket from DSE.

Why you ask ?
The Mini-Tubs I purchased from DSE will fit the 335's. However, since I didn't buy there complete leaf spring conversion kit I am unable to purchase the front offset sping pocket I need to complete the conversion. Where I am confused is I can buy offset shackle & spring perch's but not the lower spring pocket - odd. I had the Allen (really nice sales guy) ask Kyle if I could purchase them and Kyle said no dice which kinda sucks.

So now I may be forced to run only the 295's full time. So Buyer Beware if buy the DSE Mini-Tubs you are going to have to make your own lower mounts for the front or by one of there 3 kits DSE offers. Sometimes you
win sometimes you lose.

I do have a couple Options

Option A:
Buy there Mini-Tub Kit # 041221 $1699.00 which doesn't include Leaf Springs & Shocks which will give you an 1.5" drop and then sell the other parts you don't need. Seems expensive but it's only money and you can't take it with you.

Option B:
Would be to have a local fab shop make a set of offset shackle mounts to complete the conversion. If I go this route I will make a couple extra to help out the two other guys I know that are in the same boat as me.

It's an old post that I just re-posted for Glassman.

He was trying to figure out what tires he wanted to run.

Right now i'm running a KDW 245/17 up front and don't have enough tire and i'm running a 275 in the back. I want to run a 315 and my next door neighbor is running the Nitto 05 315/17 on his and its exactly 12" wide, od of the tire, not the tread or seating bead.
I plan on mini tubbing it but its runnin sooo good with the leafs, i dont wanna change it. Only want to change the rims tires to get more meat, for looks and performance....

I tracked it a few weeks back with Greg and Seig and the car ran fantastic, just need more power and a little more grip, but shes very predictable.

Keith (Custom Works) did the clip, steering, Speed tech, coil-overs, and the Holley/Hooker swap and the car handles very good and is very controlable/predictable......fun to drive.

Went for a 45 min pedal today, 106* out, ugh....good thing i gotta large water like tub in the back yard....

I was in a similar situation, ended up making our own mounts.
