Project: WicKeD 67 Camaro

[WicKeD_SS]

Thought I would Take some time to post my build and a few pics. I have owened this car since 96 and over the years just messed around with it from time to time. The last few years I have really sunk loads of cash in her and was on my way to finishing it up. I found out a few months back that Im going to be a new dad! So the wife wants me to do what I need to do to finish it up before Oct...... With a New baby on the way and saving to build our first house im trying to put just the right amount of money in the car with out getting mama to mad :D Here are a few pics of the car and Ill post more as soon as I get them. The car has a 396 bb, was wanting to build a 502 but with the new news of a little one looks like ill keep the 396 for a few years. I did manage to get a new Magnum 6 speed ordered. Now its time to take the car apart and do a few last things before paint.

When I bought the car in 96

[72Z/28]

Congratulations on the new born baby.

I am really interested in getting the Lokar shifter boot for my 68 camaro, but I am not sure how to tackle this, whether to drill holes through the carpet or cut a piece from the carpet close to the size of the boot ring?

I would appreciate it if you post photos illustrating the Lokar boot installation.

[Ricochet]

Congrats with your baby girl! Hope you banked plenty of sleep! :D
Car is looking great!

[WicKeD_SS]

UPS man droped this off just in time!

@ 72Z/28 The Lokar Boot didnt come with Installation guide. Im going to drill holes threw the carpet... at least thats the plan.. Ill post pics on what way I do it.

That is pretty cool for a plate. I got this one for my 66 Chevelle Malibu in CT and my dad just got the same plate for his 66 GTO in MO.

Just found this thread ... your car came out amazing, and this plate is cool! I was stationed in CT also and did it do a number on my 67 Camaro, lots of rust to repair:(

Thanks for your service :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

even though I didnt build this car for car shows I figured that untill I can get a few more upgrades to make this bbc handle turns better I would just do a few for the fun of it, so I went to a local show this past sunday and I won the top award! Everyone seemed to love the car and lot of positive feedback was given! There was over 150 cars and I had a huge smile when they called my name.

Took the car out of town for the first time ever this past weekend. It was only 30 mile but it has never went that far since its been together. Ran great! a few times I looked down and I was going 80.... I have major plans for this car this winter, Speedtech sub, Ridetech 4 link and a 496 BB so now that I have most the bugs worked out ill have to start all over :lostmarbles:

Here is a cool shot on the way to the car show!

Just showing yet again that they are never truly done. Glad you've gotten it this far. The next phase sounds great. Mmmmmm BBC

Yes I have to agree, Are they ever done? The 396 in it runs great but with the 496 should be so much more fun! And with the new sub I could use the much needed rubber up front for they heavy bb. Thanks

[tubbed69]

great job,car really looks nice:thumbsup:
