Okay, finally got the pictures all rounded up, So I purchased this car in 2007 from former classmate that had the car sitting in his garage since 96, He bought it and just wasn't a car guy so It sat, He started out about 13g and after recruiting my wife for back up and about 3 hours later we loaded it up for a 6500.00 When we got it it had the old wide on the back and narrow up front centerlines, 80's, I swapped out the wheels for the rallys in the picture. We then drove it around a few times over the summer months. It wasn't bad, Just wasnt what it could be. So in the summer of 08 we tore the car down to the bare body. I had it media blasted and ordered qtrs and mini tubs. I saw Scott Gulbranson's car on the front of camaro performers and was hooked, I had to build a car like that or close(ls t56 335s)http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/0938be49.jpg So I installed mini tubs and rear quarters. The qtrs fit horrible around the trunk, I cut the edges and moved the edge of qtrs in so they would fit.
Then we decided to put a art morrison frame under the car. So all the work of narrowing the factory frame I took and cut it all out.:willy: . I received the frame in the spring of 2010 and finally got it installed in fall 2010. I used a digital tram gauge that I sold to one of my friends to measure the wheelbasehttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/af184dd0.jpghttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/fdd489b7.jpghttp://i1175.photobuckhttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/75909539.jpget.http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/d4e3ac44.jpgcom/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/3409e3bf.jpg

[Vince@Meanstreets]

duhh, just saw it, im slow. thank you.....did you see the one we are doing over the winter?

[snappytravis]

duhh, just saw it, im slow. thank you.....did you see the one we are doing over the winter?

That car could be my cars twin, Vince I am confused you said winter project, you live in cali dude, If you want a winter project come to wyo in january, I was in Jackson Hole the last few days and I could tell the people from the south they had there winter jackets on. It was about 63 at night I was one of the few with my shorts sandles and t shirt, What are the plans for the 69, engine, trans, Looks like a good start.:cheers:

[Vince@Meanstreets]

haaa haaaa yeah around here winter means everyone is in Reno/Tahoe skiing and don't feel like bringing their cars in for work so I like to load up on long term projects to keep me busy and paid till January. Believe it or not, It actually gets pretty cold around here too...it was 45* last winter 3 days in a row. It was a rough one. :D

Its pretty close but 87% of the metal is nice. More project funds to do modifications and not restoration.
Get that heater ready buddy!!

[snappytravis]

It's 45 right now, lol, need a shop rat, I am dam good at sweeping and blowing dust all over the shop, and walking around for several minutes at a time with a dazed look on my face trying to rememer where I put something!:willy:

[Vince@Meanstreets]

....I can not relate at all.....hey its time for more pictures! :D

[snappytravis]

I know this isn't that impressive for some but, It's been bare metal for so long, I will probably put k38 on it tomorrow and let it sit until next week and start blocking with 180 to get this baby nice and straight.http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/2012-09-27_primered_zpsc496f754.jpg

[snappytravis]

Well I got some more primer on it today, It's looking pretty good I will now block and reprime then I can start on the mechanical stuff, I have had several cars over the years but have never done a project like this mainly just normal restoration and lots of collision work, in and out in a few weeks. I am really enjoying sharing pics of my progress on this site, and get a kick out of how cool everyone is to each other, and share there knowledge. Hopefully I will have more pics as it progresses.http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/69%20camaro/2012-09-28_primerk36_zps85a90747.jpg

[northwests]

Thats funny. I helped my son with a honda swap over the summer(I know hondas are awesome). We made his car fuel injected with a newr japanese motor that gives him a couple hundred horses now. Doing all the research necessary for the project I found that the honda generation are really aholes on their forums and not very helpful at all. So this site is great for just lovin these cars. Great job on the build so far, be sweet when done. Its great to see someone just ahead of my progress to motivate me.

Don't feel bad there are plenty ahead of me progress wise, funny how the younger generation like the Hondas, I'm 40 and 20 years ago drove a 57pickup with big back window, never thought about a Honda, they are dam good cars though. Just don't think of them as a hotrod. Do you have pics of your car on here. Took me a while before I felt worthy enough to post. There are some seriously smart men on this site, funny thing is some of them don't do this for a living. I have to keep learning or I get board. Have to keep motivated Good luck oh ya the vtec that's the one

[northwests]

yea its called 69 no name bulid on thie first page on project updates today page

[tubbed69]

looks good in primer,makes you feel like your finally making progress,there is alot of really great builders on this site and they are very cool and helpful,keep pics coming

[snappytravis]

Well I am back at it on the camaro, I recently installed brake lines, wilwood brakes, and received the ricks fuel tank, I finally had it sitting on the ground this past week after 4 years, That was a good feeling, I am working on installing the American Auto Wire 22 setup, then should have fuel pump controler from Carl at Vaporworx, and will run the fuel lines. I have had lots of cars and been working on them for over 25 years for a living and hobby, I have learned more on this one then any of them. I have also met a lot of really good dudes on this site, Thanks for the help!

[Sonar Chief]

Very nice build ... the AME canted 4 link, how much of a pain in the neck to install? Did you completely grind down and remove the last of the old frame rail and how was the fit? Did you have the car on a rotisserie or the cart?

I would like to install the same unit under my 67 and have read their installation instructions several times to get an idea of the work involved. Did you mini tub after the AME was in place?

Thanks for the pics .... do you have any install pics you could post? I have the same wheels on my car, but ... the tires are also invisible!!!!!!

Michael

[jimbo]

Are you going to put that cool tow bar bracket back on the front?

[snappytravis]

Ya could you imagine it probably was towed by a winnebago
It looks like it came loose a few times subframe was a little ruff on the frame horns

[snappytravis]

I decided since I was being lazy today I would post up a few progress pictures of the car.

51033

51034
I ended up having a custom inlet built for the supercharger. I had major hood clearance issues with the inlet that I had to begin with. I turned out overall pretty good and I have had the car running. That was a major milestone. It is a ls3 413 with a 3300 lysholm setup from Wegner motorsports. I am using a holley hp ecu. with ctsv fuel pump.

51035
51036
I had all the bodywork done and then got a wild hair to tuck the rear bumper and shave the drip rails. It was a little pain in the azz.. but looks pretty good.


51037

Wheels,, Finally this was a hard decision for me. There are so many nice wheels on the market. I went with rushforth rated x, They fit very well. 19x12 on the front and 18x10 on the rear.

51038

Michelin Pilot SS for rubber, I debated about going with a tire leaning more towards auto x. I would like to drive this car and in Wyoming anyplace we go is pretty much min of 100 miles.. So I went with the Michelins. You can buy cheaper,, but can you buy better? 275/35/18 front and 325/30/19 on the rear.

51039
51042
Heat exchanger for the supercharger, This was pretty one of the first that cr racing built. I waited for a few months for this as well. It is a very nice piece. If you ever need anything Paul Hammond is a good guy to deal with, very professional and returns calls. I also purchased a radiator from them. It has the oil cooler and ps cooler built in. However I looked at the cooling system as insurance for the engine.

51040

Ricks fuel tank with ctsv pump and vaporworx controller, Pretty cool stuff, to bad such a beautiful part is under the car.

51041
Stainless fuel line from tank runs down the inside of frame rail.. I learned a lot about stainless. I would use it again. I may do a few things different.


I have done all the work on this car myself, the lack of resources living in the middle of Wyoming makes you learn.. or figure it out.. I have also learned a lot from all the lateral-g members.
Thanks for the help Guys.

Hope everyone enjoys my update pics, and I plan to have it on the road next year.. Long cold winter in Wyoming.

Looks great! I think?? :headscratch: :D

:cheers: Trav

[tubbed69]

Good progress Travis,gotta get better on the updates though.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Spiffav8]

Great update Travis. Keep at it man!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[snappytravis]

So I figured I needed a name for my build project 69 Camaro. I decided Asphalt Cowboy would be a good one with the help of a few members of the forum. It seems that if you live in Wyoming everyone thinks your a Cowboy and own horses or cows or something that eats hay and sh*ts in the field. Well not this guy, the closest thing I have to horses is horsepower.. The real deal.. I am updating a few pictures on my build and will give a little detail on each picture. Thanks for looking and as always the feedback.

53737
Hideaway headlight setup, with dse motors works great. Thanks for all that gave input before I ordered this. Grille fits good. Had to do a little shimming on the lights but nothing to bad.

53738

Built hood latch. CR racing heat exchanger was to close and also installed quick click safety latches on the top of hood.

53745

53740
Motor and transmission out for the 20th time.. The red board with carpet on it is a gravel creeper,, That was before we had a shop with a concrete floor.

53741

This picture I original had the ac lines running through the firewall. I ordered a bulkhead fitting and new ac lines with the aeroquip ez clip fittings. Probably was not necessary, but that's how car guys do stuff

53742

I showed a few people this picture of the car on the rotissierie and the said that's how it was the last time they saw it 3 years ago! I had to explain I had it running and backed out of the shop. Then tore it apart again.. Some more grinding and welding. I will be either a good welder or grinder when I am done with this car..

53743
I shot some dp90 on the frame and bottom of the car. Then used Eastwood ceramic chassis semi gloss black, Turned out pretty good. I thought about powder coating but did not want to be at the mercy of waiting on someone else and for touch up purposes.

53744
Sprayed the frame this morning, Will let it dry a few days, then try out the Upol Raptor stuff,, Then some shiny paint on the outside,,:thankyou: for everyones advice, would be hard to build a car like this in the middle of Wy without Lateral-G!

[waynieZ]

Nice !

[snappytravis]

Nice !
Thanks Wayne,,

[WSSix]

Glad to see you making progress. Can't wait to see it in color. Good luck!

[snappytravis]

Glad to see you making progress. Can't wait to see it in color. Good luck!

Thanks Trey

[snappytravis]

So I haven't updated my build thread for a while. The last time It was on the rotisserie and the car is back together now. I took it to Collins Muffler in Loveland Colorado and had 3 inch exhaust installed. I have spent the last 2 doing the jams on the car. I have the doors and fenders back on and lined up. I am using Cromax paint on it. It is going to be a mazda Solar red effect. It is a tri-coat, I worked in a dealership bodyshop and have dealt with tri-coat paints, I was hesitant to go with it, I haven't done a complete paintjob since 04,, I was a little gunshy to say the least. However when I did the jams everything sprayed out very nice. So I plan to spray it this week.

[Sonar Chief]

Travis ... that's a great looking color, you spraying the car yourself?

Hey, how did the raptor bed liner come out? Is the Eastwood chassis paint holding up as you planned?

More pics when you can ...

Michael

[waynieZ]

Nice color Travis, The car will look great. Keep the photos coming.

[snappytravis]

Yes I will be painting it in one of my friends shops. If you look at the mazda dealership down there in Ft Collins there is a red on there new cars that is the color we are going with (Wife picked it). The raptor bedliner kit is the way to go for a guy that is doing it himelf. I like the texture of it, It's simple to mix and spray. The eastwood paint seems pretty good so far. I will try to post up some more pictures through the week. Been working on it everyday for the past two weeks.Thanks for the compliments

[tubbed69]

Travis that color looks great,car is really looking good:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[snappytravis]

Travis that color looks great,car is really looking good:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks buddy! The picture doesn't do much for the color, Should have is sprayed this week. I see your thinking of selling yours. Its a beautiful car hope whatever you decide to do works out.:thankyou:

[KPC67]

Hey Travis, I just read through your thread. You have done an amazing job so far, and have some really nice parts on your car. I look forward to your progress.

[3_z28camaro]

What car was the donor for your door handles?

[snappytravis]

Hey Travis, I just read through your thread. You have done an amazing job so far, and have some really nice parts on your car. I look forward to your progress.

Thanks Kevin, It has been a pretty good learning experience, I have done lots of stock type restorations work. Never one to this extreme.. Hope next picture you see it is painted...

[snappytravis]

What car was the donor for your door handles?

If you look at the mid 90s buick lesabre,, Some of the Chevy Malibu's. I think mine came out of a Malibu. Look up 2005. There are a ton of GM vehicles with that same handle.. Front door handles have locks rears don't. I am thinking of running power locks then using the rear handles..

[snappytravis]

Well after working on this project fort he last 7 years off and on. I finally painted it. It took about 6 hrs to get it done. Sealer, base, midcoat and clear. I used my friends booth. It was a cool 65 degree day in Wyoming. Overall it turned out pretty good, Haven't sprayed a complete car for about 10 years. Little nerve racking, but at the end of the day I proved to myself that I can still paint.. Amazingly.. The pictures make the car look rust colored. It is close to the red on the new fords. I went to the shop this morning and installed the wheels and rolled it outside. Then just stared at it for a few hours.. Will start the polishing process on Monday..

[awr68]

[snappytravis]

What a Relief I bet to finally see color on it.It does look great,color is very good and paint looks slick.

Red is a great color isn't it...I tried everything to sway my wife to something else. Just for the fact this is a tri coat,, After all is said and done.. The wife was right..Imagine that.. lol, It is cromax paint. First time using the clear. I used a Spraycat gun, great atomization. Thanks for the compliments..

[snappytravis]

Travis ... that looks insane! Nice choice of color that you don't see everyday!

Lol,, Thanks Ron, Did you have to pinch yourself,, I still think I am dreaming.. Thanks again

[snappytravis]

It's been a while since I have been on the lat g website. I painted my Camaro around oct of last year. I brought it home and have all the wiring pretty well finished. Made a deal on some sweet Anvil parts and have them all installed. I purchased a holley digital dash and have it setup in a dse dash panel. I just received the gps sensor for the dash and a extension harness for the fuel sender and should have that done in the next few weeks. I ordered tmi interior a few weeks ago. That was a tuff one, trying to figure out what I wanted for colors. I finally went with black with red inserts. I wanted something to stand out a little but not to much. So the reason I haven't posted anything up in a while is my wife had twins a boy and a girl. There names are Shelby Anne ( wife has a Shelby mustang) and the boys name is Connor James. They will be 6 months old on the 18th. I can't wait to introduce them to the great car hobby as my dad did to me when I was a kid! Hopefully they don't tear as much stuff up as I have!

[Sonar Chief]

Congratulations on the new additions!!!! Been getting any sleep lately? lol

Post pics when you can, take care of the family!

Michael

[Zoomin]

Best hurry and finish your car before the twins start sucking your bank account dry! :)

Love what you've done so far.

[snappytravis]

Congratulations on the new additions!!!! Been getting any sleep lately? lol

Michael

I will tell you this, It was tuff the first 3 or 4 months,, every 3 hours they where up, Finally they sleep all night,, Thanks I will put up some pictures

[snappytravis]

Best hurry and finish your car before the twins start sucking your bank account dry! :)

Love what you've done so far.
Oh ya,, I knew I better get it close to being done. Just waiting on interior. I am thinking I will be going back to the basic restoration projects.. lol byby dse, ame, Rushforth,,, hello Rock Auto..

[snappytravis]

Here is a email that I have sent to a few guys on the car project. I have been going out to the garage this past week after babys go to bed and working from 9 til 12 or so,,, Just have the dash to finish up and all the rest of the interior is almost done..
Here are a bunch of pictures of the Camaro. I have been working on this car for 8 years off and on. I will give you a brief rundown. I made the deal on the car after it had been sitting for about 12 years. I bought it and got it running and drove it a few times. Then I decided that I wanted to build a car that I could drive on the highway with all the newer thing that new cars have. I replaced the quarter panels, rear trunk pan, outer door skins. and completely cut out the firewall and welded a solid piece in there to smooth it up. I shaved the drip rail.. little lip on edge of roof. ( new cars don't have that).. I installed late model gm door handles. (smooth look). I tucked the rear bumper into the body and narrowed it aprox 3". I resized the window openings to install windshield molding like new vehicles.
The engine is a 2010 Camaro ls3. It started as 376 ci. It is now 413 ci and has a supercharger added. The front drive pulleys. AC, P.S., is all custom built. I have a stainless steel fuel tank with a Cadillac cts fuel pump. It has to use a little fancy fuel pump controller that controls voltage to pump,, More voltage more = fuel.. It has a 6 speed transmission similar to what the new Camaros have. I also installed a hydraulic clutch setup. Had to have a custom built aluminum driveshaft made to handle the horsepower..
There is a picture of the frame setup. It uses newer 2005 style corvette A arms and a rack and pinion setup. I have 14 inch front brake rotors and 6 piston calipers. Comparable to newer vette. The rear end is a ford 9 inch with 3:89 gear ratio. Should cruise at 80 around 1300 rpm. If you look fuel tank is notched on the corners for the exhaust to clear. I took the car to ft Collins and had 3" stainless exhaust put on. I have a custom built radiator with dual fans and power steering and oil cooler built in.
The wiring,, I have one wiring harness that run the engine, I have another wiring harness with the fuse box that runs the headlights and taillights and all the interior stuff. I installed halo style headlights that have a white outer ring. Similar to newer vehicles. I installed led parklights, They have a white outer ring as well, Looks like Daytime running lamps. I installed led taillights to match all the other led stuff. The gauge panel is a touch screen that is fully programmable to whatever gauges I would like to display, layout and colors of the gauges as well. It's like the touch screen radio in new cars..I still need to figure out stereo. I installed power windows and locks, and of course if you have power locks you need a key fob to run them,, Push the button doors unlock and interior light comes on for 60 seconds.. Headlights flash as well. I also installed a power trunk latch.. I installed a ac and heater unit that is electronic. No cables like old cars..
The interior is ordered,, finally,, It took me about two months to figure out what I wanted to do. It will be black vinyl with sued on the bolsters and red inserts in the middle of the seats, with black grommets up the center. I ordered a center console that will be black and red as well. The door panels will be black with a red insert as well and grommets in them, Red stitching in everything. So the riverton carshow will be July 19, It will take 5 weeks to get interior. That leaves aprox 3 weeks to get it done... Should be interesting.
I know a lot of people like the original stuff, I do myself as well. This car was not a ss or rs or had any special options. I had always wanted to do something custom,, This was the one, I figure I have at least 3 to 4 thousand hours in this car. I will probably never have the time to build one like this again, now the twins are here. I am good with that I would rather spend the hours with them then the car..
Well hope you enjoy the pictures, some of them are for reference for me to know how stuff goes together. I built the whole car, then tore it completely down and painted frame and firewall and then reassembled,
Talk to ya soon,,

Wow, when I read "I took it to Collins muffler in Loveland, CO" I was like he lives here? I see Riverton, WY ? in your profile...

Lived in Loveland from 1965 to 1974 when I went into the Marines. Then off and on for a few years after 1979. Wellington area since 1995.
