[northwests]

That is just plain beauuuutiful. Nice work. It's what I imagine mine will look like one day

[tubbed69]

not real fast Ron just very fortunate to sell one and have the money to have almost everything bought

[tones2SS]

Looking good. Keep up the great work.

[ChuckDriver]

Sweet build, any updates?

[tubbed69]

No updates for now,should be back to work right after Columbus Goodguys show,just finished minitubbing and doing a full ls conversion and suspension change on a 69 a friend just bought,I will try to get some pictures and post,thanks for the interest really hoping to get ready for paint by fall.

[Rybar]

Looks good, what headers are you running with the DSE sub?

[tubbed69]

I used the hooker super comps but probally will change,just put a set of Kooks on one that I just finished for a friend and they were real nice.Using the 1.5" back motor mounts you have lots of room,also saw that Fesler had a new set of LS headers in stainless,hoping to see next week at Goodguys,Columbus.Also Ryan your car eally looks great.

[tubbed69]

not much for updates but finally getting back to work on body,just wanted to show these covers just got from Billet Specialties,very nice quality,should have alot more pics soon hoping to get bodywork complete over next couple monthshttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000671.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000670.jpg

[waynieZ]

Nice looking covers. They should keep the coils cool too.

Awesome job man, I believe you have got the Tremec TKO transmission, just wondering what hydraulic clutch master cylinder kit you are using? I realized also you are not using the hydraulic clutch master cylinder and wilwood master cylinder firewall bracket either.

Also are you using stock or a different clutch pedal to be utilized with hydraulic clutch master cylinder?

Could you please give me some input on the set up you are using and part numbers will be appreciated.

The reason why I am asking is because I have got TKO 5 speed as well mated to the LS6 engine. However, the rod connected to the hydraulic clutch master cylinder is way too long and a firewall mounting bracket was fabricated to mount the master cylinder as shown in the below photos, and I would really like to sort out this mess and have a clean install.

Your input is highly appreciated.

[tubbed69]

Finally after 5 months got back on car,picked up a set of NOS fenders that had been painted and bolted on the car,welded and smoothed core support,got doors and front clip gapped and in final prime,alot of cutting and welding to get good gaps with aftermarket doors and header panel.Hope to get on quarters and rear panel soon.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000672_zps1331b6f2.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000696_zps07823133.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000701_zps36733070.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000700_zpsebb796c8.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000702_zps27fff4e3.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000698_zps009f334f.jpg

[214Chevy]

Welded core support is looks awesome!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: And those gaps are just crazy. :yes: :yes: I likey!!:hail: :hail:

[tubbed69]

thanks,welded up extra 45 holes

[72Z/28]

The build is coming pretty good, awesome job on the core support and the gaps

[tubbed69]

thanks,finally back to work and hope to paint by spring

[Jay Hilliard]

Gaps look good. Repo's take a lot of work to get the gaps like NOS

[tubbed69]

thanks Jay,I really like the car you built for wife and love the Rushforths

[tones2SS]

Nice updates. Good to see you back at it.

[frankv11]

Very nice build, can't believe I had missed it. Are you doing all the work, " great work "

[Streetking]

Great build, can't wait to see it painted!

[tubbed69]

Thanks,gotta get some pics up soon,just cut both quarters and tailpan off to replace with a couple N.O.S. quarters and RS rear body pan,could not get satisfied with the other brand sheet metal,probably just been to picking.

[makoshark]

WOW! That core support and front cap alignment is looking spectacular! I need someone like you over in my garage helping me get my front cap aligned. To the death of me, I sure can't get it right!

[Spiffav8]

Looks awesome. Not sure why but I love this stage of the build.

Keep it up man!

[tubbed69]

Thanks guys body gaps are a hard thing to get right,sure takes a lot of patience.This stage is a lot more fun because once your finished cleaning all of the time kind of sucks.

[tubbed69]

Just picked up a couple of GM quarter panels,I know its alot of money but I will definitely do it again on next car I build after this one.Big difference in fit and gaps without much work,if I was a good welder like alot of fabricators on this site I would have reworked what I had,but unfornutely I am not a great welder and dont have a tig welder.Making progress still waiting for roof skin but got quarters and tail panel on and primed with very little work on gaps,really happy so far.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000714_zpsa8707085.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000710_zpsf1d630cf.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000738_zps6bd2213e.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000734_zps056802f1.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000736_zpsde244168.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000737_zps7aa8dae3.jpg

thanks Wayne I am sure you will do a great job on yours

[214Chevy]

No need to justify to anyone why you spent what you did on your car. We all share in this hobby alike and we all spend lots of money. :G-Dub: There's no difference in spending alot on GM quarters than the next man spending $8k on wheels or $20k on a LS9. It's only worth what you're willing to pay. Great parts by the way. :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

That looks really good. Good job. Working with great products make the job a lot easier.

Thanks guys,I am thankful for aftermarket parts but I just had a few from a bad batch maybe?I am going to buy another set of quarters and fenders to have for later on next car.I did get an aftermarket rear taillight panel that was extremely nice and stamped with very crisp lines and straight as can be.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000725_zps5634ccac.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000737_zps7aa8dae3.jpg

[Rybar]

Looks really good man, I would as much original parts as I could if I were to do it all over again. Pretty much every aftermarket part fit like crap.

Thanks Chris,really satisfied so far.I hope in two weeks on my next break from work get it back on rotisserie to paint bottom side and firewall and start back together and hopefully paint in a few months.

[waynieZ]

thanks Wayne,are you making any progress?

At a stand still right now but getting close to going back in the garage soon.

what crossmember did you use on the dse subframe?

[tubbed69]

what crossmember did you use on the dse subframe?

I used the crossmember from Keisler Engineering,ran the TKO 600 in the last 3 cars I built and bought entire kit from them,very nice product,crossmember is cut out nicely for exhaust.I dont know if this pic will help,if not let me know I can get better pics for you.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000639.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000639.jpg.html)

[Ed.Capen]

Jeff, this Camaro is coming along really good. Can't wait to see it in color with the work you have done on all the gaps and alignment of the GM panels. The 69 I am doing right now has all GM NOS parts and they work the best. A lot less time doing finishing work on the GM panel.
Keep up the great work.
See you at the events.

[Jay Hilliard]

Hi Jeff,

I got caught back up on the build. Super nice job on the GM qtr install. Gaps look awesome. You are doing a great job, keep it up. :thumbsup:

Probably the angle of the pic, but on header tube for cylinder #2, is there enough clearance for upper control arm to get proper camber adjustment?

thanks Jay,sure would like to borrow your wifes interior,super nice,Jay it must be the picture because there are no issues at all with clearances with the Hooker Headers.GM panels are worth the extra money.

Thanks Jon

[tubbed69]

Jeff, What brand of motor mounts did you use with the stock sub frame?

Thanks Jon

Hey Jon on the stock subframe I used a solid moroso mount on the engine and the stock frame mounts but I made my own plate that moved the frame mounts back 1.5".sorry but I dont think I have any pics of the plate on the subframe.I think the DSE kit will work on stock sub,please check with them first to be sure,they are a nice kit.

[b757jetdr]

Hello Jeff,

In regards to the Hooker Headers with the DSE sub how far do they hang down below the sub? Also do you happen to have the part # for which one you ordered?? I love the DSE headers but they are expensive, I'm trying to keep my project cost in check due to the fact that my wife and I are moving and started the house building process.

Thanks

Hey Chris the part #2288-1HKR are the headers that I have used twice and really happy for the price,I will buy DSE headers for my next carThose were probally the best pics I have for now.I am putting car on rottisserie right now but in a week or two I can get more pics for you.As far as clearance they are better than a few other brands that I have put on other cars,I am not badmouthing anydody elses headers because they are alot of nice LS headers out there,but the finish on these is alot better than a couple more expensive brands that I have installed,your car is looking great Chris.

[tubbed69]

making a little progress,got back on rotisserie and finished up floorpan and painted it and firewall,used a single stage urathane in satin black from Excel,really nice product,looks alot like powdercoat finish and lays down nice and dries fairly fasthttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg.html)http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg.html)http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg.html)http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000750_zps92de72b7.jpg.html)

[cjfirstgen]

What trim piece are you planning to use for the steering column on the firewall? Billet specialties piece? I ask because I am in the middle of smoothing the firewall as well.

Looks great btw.

[tubbed69]

thanks, I am not sure yet on the steering column yet,I am open for suggestions on that,I fit it real well and smoothed it up nicely in case I cannot find something that looks good.If you have any luck let me know,hopefully get back to work on it next week.

Hey Chris there is no stupid questions,it is actually the basecoat,I am going to block it with 600 and put a couple more coats on when painting car,it really shows how straight the car is or if I missed anything,really happy with the results so far

[Rick D]

There you go Jeff nice work! Are you going to paint it apart or together? Just wondering as I always paint solid colors apart and pearls and metalics together? Well I should clarify I paint the front ends off the car, I alway put the doors on if the bolts for the hinges are stock and getting painted. This way you do not crush the paint with a socket.

[Smitty68]

Thanks for the update pics Jeff!! As I have said before amazing work my friend!! I need a little inspiration for my build.. Keep us posted.

[Lous69]

Jeff,
Very impressive build. I admire your attention to detail and your ability to do it all yourself.

From your pics, I'm guessing you spend almost as much time cleaning your garage as working on your car. How the heck do you do such nice work without making a mess???!!!

Cheers to Camaros wearing VW colors :cheers:

thanks Lou,I do like the detail work,your car is over the top,very nice,and pics do the garage a lot of justice its not as clean always as the pics show

[fleetus macmullitz]

When pics are going to be posted online that will be taken in the garage/shop, photoshopping can offer the quickest way to achieve a clean work area. Plus no air quality issues from sweeping/vacuuming/use of cleaning solutions either. Just something to keep in mind. ;)
