This is project WarMachine ~ A satin black 1969 Camaro RallySport.
Thought it would be a good idea to start a build thread to keep track of my progress and document the build.

I plan to build a classic camaro with modern drivetrain & suspension so that I can daily drive it & also do well on the drag strip or autocross every once in a while.

Got the new TCi subframe in this weekend; wilwood disc brakes & power rack and pinion - Should change handling quite a bit & definitely lighter than stock.

12" wilwood disc brakes w/ zinc coated rotors

Looks a lot better with the headlight doors installed.

Project WarMachine is almost ready to move on it's own :thumbsup:

On it's way to Fearless Gears for a Tru-Trac diff & Moser axles.

Plan on raising the rear one setting on the shock brackets - What do you guys think about the rear ride height?

The LS motor sounds sick w/ Doug's Longtube Headers :bigun2:
I'll be installing a BBK aluminum intake manifold & throttle body soon.

I think it looks sick at that height I wouldn't change it, but not sure of much ground clearance you have?

Car looks awesome for sure!!

I'm with Rick I think it look great at that height, if its not a problem driving. Especially if its for daily driver.

Hard to tell sitting so high but the ride height looks like it could stay right where it is. You can always try raising it and see what you think. No sense in not trying it out.
