Tenacity @ EBMC

[EBMC]

Well figured its about time to start a thread on our 69 Camaro with AME Max g chassis weve been commisioned to build. Some of you who have been to the shop have heard the story about it and seen the car, for those who have not, it started when we got a call about a Camaro that was started at another "shop". It had been there for 5 years and progress was not happening fast enough. I was told it had an Art morrison Max G chassis an all aluminum 632 w/electronic fuel injection, 4L80E trans and needed to be finished. I had them come down with it on a trailer to check out and to figure out what was left to do. Well none of us were prepared for the mess that this "shop" had assembled. The extremely poor workmanship was evident everywhere, from the crooked misaligned quarterpanels with the flux cored mig welds to the 1/2 " gaps in rollcage fitment (the list goes on and on) Then the biggest surprise was when looking at the engine, it was wrapped in layers of plastic sitting in the car with a motorplate we first noticed the old hilborn mechanical injection manifold under the plastic and knew something wasn't right. We cut the wrapping away and found that it was a plastic mock up engine painted and disguised to look like the real thing! right down to the taped up exhaust ports to "keep the dirt out".I had to inform them that their $17,000 engine was a hunk of plastic and the trans was a gutted case as well. They had seen this engine and trans wrapped in plastic for three years and assumed it was what they paid for. I could go on forever about all the extremely poor workmanship and other useless parts such as bent coilovers and completely wrong size wheels and tires but at this point you get the idea.


notice the "all aluminum 632" and "custom firewall"

Let the rebirth begin! A ton of work is needed just to bring it back to an acceptable foundation to start upon.

These pics were taken about 6 months ago and currently were full steam ahead on this project and it will feature extensive body mods such as 3"extended rockers, flush glass, shaved drip rails custom rear spoiler, ect. (alot has already been done) but still keeping the 69 theme, a Mast black label 416 LS3 with sheetmetal intake, T56 Magnum 6 spd, Winters quick change rear, 20 x12 and 19x10 Forgelines and a ton of one offs to name a few.

I have a few more pics on my other computer showing the original "handiwork" that I'll post Monday.

[Flash68]

I remember talking to you about this Steve... oh the horror for the owner!

Glad it's on track and sounds like a great build and parts list. :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

It's in good hand's now.Can't wait to see more progress.:thumbsup: Scott

Woah - I hope there suing the old shop for that motor! Good Lord... :willy:

How does that saying go? Cant squeeze blood from a turnip (or something like that!) Although I believe there are some criminal charges their working on.
The guy was basically a crook. I think he was full aware he couldn't do a job like this and saw it as an oppurtunity to make some money with no intention of actually finishing anything. Its what gives this great hobby a bad name sometimes, (although this is to the extreme!)
The owner of the car encouraged me to tell this story to remind people to do their homework and check references!

[EBMC]

First order of business is building a sound foundation to build upon.

http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab208/2468ebmc/1969%20Camaro%20Pro%20Touring/02281.jpg
All this mess will be rebuilt, both quarters replaced, C-pillars were crooked and will need to be repaired also. We'll be building our own tubs as well to fit 335 -20" tire

It's coming along nicely Steve, great fab work.

[ArisESQ]

Spoiler looks super sick.

Good to hear that the owner of that car found a good shop to take care of him. :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Good job guys. I'm digging that rear spoiler.:thumbsup:

[EBMC]

Thanks everyone! :cheers:

[KPC67]

Wow, Nice job.

[ledoux67]

Very nice work, What gauge metal are you using for the floor and the spoiler? I have a full frame on my 67 and am doing away with the aluminum floor and doing metal.

[EBMC]

Very nice work, What gauge metal are you using for the floor and the spoiler? I have a full frame on my 67 and am doing away with the aluminum floor and doing metal.

Thanks, we are using 14 ga on the floor and 16 ga on the spoiler.

[Flash68]

Man that's lookin great. Love the subtle spoiler.

[mdprovee]

That is looking real nice. I like the style of the spoiler, how it flows with the car.

[ledoux67]

Thanks, we are using 14 ga on the floor and 16 ga on the spoiler.

Thanks keep up the pics great work.

[Flash68]

Jesus man that thing is sick. That intake looks kinda alien like.

What are the power #s on the LS3?

[EBMC]

Thanks everyone! its a team effort here and Brian, my lead fabrictator has been extra busy!

whats the lead time on that manifold?

The manifold took about 6 weeks if I remember right
The engine dynoed at 640 HP and 560 TRQ

[EBMC]

Shaved dripped rails. A pillars were also widened to cover weatherstrip channel.

[killer67]

Love the suspension work!

[youthpastor]

This thing is looking killer, I'm sure the owner is stoked seeing all the progress.

[EBMC]

The owner of the car is very tall, but by removing the whole center of frame section and dropping down, we were able to get a very ergonomic seating position and steering/pedal placement especially considering the full frame and engine setback.

[EBMC]

We also got our Forgeline wheels 20x12 and 19x10, brushed nickel outer and titanium center, rolled it outside to get an overall view of car and map out front spoiler fabrication




This shows how quarters were dropped down to transition into dropped rockers smoothly......

http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab208/2468ebmc/050.jpg


We will be extending the doors downwards 2" to be in better proportion to rocker as well.

[scottysimp7]

Love the wheels! Got the same ones on order from Driverz. Hope they look as good as your set up. Nice ride.

[Ron in SoCal]

That is bad a**. 19s and 20s look great and I love the fatter dimension with the lowered rockers/fender trasition...:thumbsup:

[Flash68]

Wow Steve Wow... that just looks how it's supposed to look. So Killer! :thumbsup: What's the ground clearance measurement?

[tones2SS]

That is one badd '69. :thumbsup:

You said it Skip. This is killer looking. Great work guys.
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

[56pickup]

:thumbsup: Looks killer! i love those forgeline wheels on there! cant wait to see the finished product!

[EBMC]

Thanks everyone!



Wow Steve Wow... that just looks how it's supposed to look. So Killer! :thumbsup: What's the ground clearance measurement?

Dave, we set the ground clearance at 4.5" to the rocker. That is the lowest point of car.

[youthpastor]

you nailed it Steve! the stance 20's and 19's look great. Nice to see it on the ground. Are those 30 series on the back?

[EBMC]

Thanks Chris. Tire sizes are 335 30 20 and 285 35 19 Michelin ps2

[Ricochet]

Wheel tire combo/Stance nailed! Nice metal treatment with the rockers and rear tail panel!

[syborg tt]

man does this car look perfect.

[DriverzInc]

Car is looking bad ass! Love the subtle mods, and the wheel & tire sizes are :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[73CPCAMARO]

That is a nice looking car. Great job!:thumbsup:

[68RS350]

Can we get a couple more pictures of the radiator support area?! Looks like you are are supporting the fenders with a couple bent tubes. Is that permanent or are you going to come up with a custom Rad support?

[EBMC]

Thanks everyone!:cheers:

This is permanent there will be no traditional rad support as the engine compartment is getting full custom formed sheetmetal covering suspension and radiator support area. These fender attachment points will be hidden under that, they will also be mounts for the HID ballasts.

Was this other "shop" in Livermore? I was in there about a year ago and saw a similar 69 on a AME Max g chassis.

No, it did not come from Livermore.

[Lemons]

Great work. That is one good looking Camaro. Can't wait to see more.

Chris

[tones2SS]

Great, great work. Every update gets better and better.:thumbsup:

[Richio1]

Fantastic! Can't wait to see continued progress. Kudos to the owner for having the fortitude to push on and the bank account to continue chasing the dream after all the BS with the other crook.

Keep up the good work!

[Nick.V70]

Damn this is looking really nice. Great work.

[EBMC]

Thanks alot everyone!
And Yes Robbie, as you know, that center was rather challenging and time consuming!

Although we changed direction and it wont be used on this car, we didnt think it fit the high tech theme of the car and therefore completely redesigned the engine compartment!

[rwhite692]

I have to come by and see this thing. Steve, I had missed this thread somehow, looks great, like the rear spoiler.

plastic mockup motor sold as the real thing, aluminum paint, tape over the ports, wow, some people will stop at nothing....Glad the owner found you, he's in good hands. -Rob

[GregWeld]

Lovely! Really --- the flow and the look is fresh and just well executed. Nice job!

[EBMC]

how far did you set the engine back?



We set the engine back about 8"

[EBMC]

Almost finished with the rear "heat extractors" and bellypan. also shown is 3" exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. Exhaust tips will be finished with brushed nickel trim ring.

That oval piece hanging behind the differential housing...

I've seen it in other differentials like the one in GregWeld's Ford or in the Track Nose Speedster built by the Roadster Shop...

[EBMC]

Oh that tail, I think your referring to the gear housing for the quick change rearend. :)

[mexMan]

Oh that tail, I think your referring to the gear housing for the quick change rearend. :)

Might have to take a drive out that way next week, give me a reason to take a couple hours off work. I will see how you look for the day, I know how hard it is to run a shop with people stopping by to check things out so I will check with you first in case its a bad day.:thumbsup:

We finished front spoiler and front bumper mods. There will also be removable fiberglass lower spoiler extensions on each side transitioning into fender wells with the air intake in between

WOW that is a nice build.

[EBMC]

We extended a 68 dash back to be in better proportion with seat/pedal setback. Built panel to house A/C controls, vents and double DIN head unit.We'll be building a dash pad that will extend all of the way to windshield.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Yes we did make the throttle pedal pad and modify the lever for the GM DBW.

Damn nice build!

I was planning on extending the rockers on my 69 to get a lower look, too. I am running the exact same rear tire. It's great to get to see some pictures of how good it looks.

Why did you/the customer decide against going ahead with the Aluminum 632 with stack fuel injection? I am currently trying to decide between Whipple SCed LS3 or Aluminum 598ci BBC with Holley Dominator self-tuning EFI with coil per 2 cylinders. Every "pro-touring/resto-mod" build is using LS, and no-one seems to be trying new technology on the old BBC platform. I am just curious why the LS3 was chosen over the 632?

Amazing work though...

[syborg tt]

WOW :thumbsup:

Amazing work though...

40 years of technology advancements are designed into LS engines over big blocks, although I love the 632 in our old school drag car, were going for a "European super car" type theme in this car and an LS was the logical choice.

Well have some more pictures later this week. :cheers:

Thanks everyone, weve been busting our butts trying to get this finished up along with all the other builds were doing.I told myself i'm not going to another car show until this is done.(hopefully Columbus!)


Very nice work guys and thumbs up to the cameraman

Thankfully I have a friend who takes awesome photos, because it sure isn't me!

[dug]

I didn't realize which shop was doing this until about halfway through the thread. I'm just about an hour away in El Cerrito! I would love to see this car in person.

The car is definitely a top contender for builds on lat-g.net. ****ing awesome:hail:

Weve almost got the wiring complete, the brake system is plumbed, fuel system mostly done, stereo system wired.

We ran out of time to fab our airbox before paint, so it is being carefully done now. It will come in from the bottom spoilerand into 4" tubes, merging into the throttlebody.

Thanks Ron, The packaging of the M/C reservoirs, pedal assemblies, 8" engine setback and providing a very good ergonomic seating position for the 6'3 owner of the car was very challenging!
Earlier in the thread there was a side shot, but that was before the door extensions and front spoiler extensions but it does show ride height.

All of the side electric windows installed and adjusted (always a fun job!) The A-piller mods hide the ugly weatherstrip channel pretty good .

A few detail shots of front spoiler and air induction. Were just about complete with all plumbing, A/C and electronics. We powered up the electrical system yesterday and performed initial check on everything. Our big hurdle is getting the interior done in time for Columbus, but were making progress.

Thanks everyone! We won't be posting any full shots until it's complete (hopefully soon!) The interior fab is the most time consuming task lately, but it's getting there. :thumbsup:

[IMPALA MAN]

Any chance you still have the quarters you replaced? I just need the area where the artificial vents are right in front of the rear wheels. I am grafting it into my quarters. If you do have them, how much for the left and right side sections. No need to ship the entire quarters if you don't mind cutting the sections out.
Thanks!!

No, the old parts are long gone.

[EBMC]

We just scaled the car... Exactly 50/50 weight distribution at 3358 lbs. We still have some interior to go in (100-150 lbs?), but shouldnt change the distribution much. The car is running, hydraulics bled and besides windows and door poppers, the electrical finished. We will be posting some pics in the next couple of days.

[youthpastor]

way to get it done under the time crunch....no drama before Columbus?- no 5 AM final build?

[pw2006]

Hey Steve- Great meeting you tonight. You were right when I asked about the build. You could have been here for days explaining it to me. Your attention to detail is amazing! :bow: Congrats and I can't wait to hear about Columbus! :cheers:

Were making good progress and almost have the outside and mechanicals complete. The interior should be complete next week (hopefully!)

Headlights are cool what are they from?

[garickman]

I don't know what other cars are going to Columbus, but from the looks of it, you should do very well.

[EBMC]

WOW. That makes my heart skip a beat.

Where can I see more pics of the tri 5 truck that is in the background of pic three?
Were just doing a heidts front clip on that, no big build.
Tenacity is a great name for that car...

What it has taken to build it takes Tenacity...

And Steve Keefer, and a Boat Load of money...:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks Mike, BTW when are you coming to visit us?
Love the color choices! Can you post a close up of the hood hinges. Can't make out the finish but it looks sweeeet :hail:
The hinges are Ring Bros., Titanium finish I believe

[Flash68]

That is stunning Steve. Can't wait to see this one in person. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[89 RS]

That thing is awesome! I love what you did with the front end, rockers, and rear spoiler. The paint is also spectacular. :thumbsup:

[skatinjay27]

[Bucketlist2012]

Damn nice Steve !
It will do very well in Columbus.

View showing rockerpanel and door mods. Hard to see, but the quarters were dropped lower towards wheelwell in order to transition into rocker as well. After much thought, the side gills were left unchanged to retain some of the 69 iconic features......

BTW, NOTHING hangs below rockerpanel!

I'll do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only because it would probably be the last time I ever drove anything that nice, lol.

Car looks fantastic, Steve. Can't wait to see more pictures.

[EBMC]

Some full shots finally! With 3 weeks until Columbus were still cranking away on interior. Hope to do some test drives early next week. Overall were very happy with the look. One goal from the begining was to not lose the iconic 69 look but modernize it, and although there are a ton of body mods I think we achieved that goal and most importantly the customer does as well!

I must be losing my mind. Not only did I know you had a build thread, I have posted in it. And I'm subscribed!!

Do you remember what or who's recessed fuel filler cap you used? Custom or?

Thanks

Thanks, the fuel filler was built in house

[WSSix]

I keep looking at the paint and how deep and wet it looks. How many coats of clear did you put on that car? It's soooooo smooth and deep looking. Just wow!

[EBMC]

[elitecustombody]

[Al Moreno]

It really a shame having to put a hood over that engine! Awesome work guys :hail: Good luck at Columbus but I don't think you'll need it.

[Sonar Chief]

Fantastic car :woot:

[coolwelder62]

[canrc]

Wow! Love the engine bay :hail:

[frankv11]

You guys just raised the bar again with this build , those pictures of the engine bay look unreal. Just curious and excuse the comment But how come the exhaust welds were not smoothed out.

[Cali69]

:thumbsup: i really like what you guys did on this car

[EBMC]

Thanks everyone! We didnt get the interior done until Friday night so no shots of that yet. On the road now but look forward to meeting some of you in Columbus!

[Rick D]

I've never sat still for so long! Just outside Indy. Should be pulling into Columbus tomorrow. :thumbsup:

I've never sat still for so long! Just outside Indy. Should be pulling into Columbus tomorrow. :thumbsup:

thats the worst...oh wait no. Staring out of a window with a view that looked same for the last 300 miles while sitting still sucks pretty bad too.

Good luck out there.

Steve,

Glad to hear you are OK. So I have Insomnia thinking, "What am I going to do for more horsepower", and "How am I going to pay for it ?"

Things for you and I to discuss when you get back..:lateral:

[EBMC]

thats the worst...oh wait no. Staring out of a window with a view that looked same for the last 300 miles while sitting still sucks pretty bad too.

Good luck out there.

Not many people can say they stood on the starting line at Bonneville AND the bricks at Indy in the span of 3 days! That was pretty cool. Overall the trip out wasn't too bad. :cheers:
