Thrift Shop Camaro

[Payton King]

Thanks everyone...still have a long way to go but it is moving in the right direction.

have a little better control and more adjustment with the watts mount not on the rear housing if I remember correctly. Seems like I read that on the Ron Sutton thread in the suspension section.

Been awhile since I have checked into the site and things are lookin' good! Today is exactly 1 yr that we packed up and moved back to CA and my car has not exited the trailer once in that timeframe so it is good to see someone keeping the ball rolling! Coming here just makes it worse :lol:

[Payton King]

Good to hear from you Tim. I was wondering what happened to your project. Time to pull it out of the trailer and get to work.

Stopped by to see the car today and the oil tank install is complete. We modified an existing tank by changing from 3 inlets to one 16 AN and changing the outlet to 16 AN. 3 breathers to 1 that will have 22 AN and will run to a catch can/ breather combo. Moved the drain to clear the frame and be able to drain the tank without making a mess.

looking good Payton,, progress that's all a guy can ask for.

[MX145]

This car is unbelievable! The amount of engineering and fabrication is outstanding.

X2, Payton.
Are the rear suspension pieces propietary to Ron Sutton or outsourced? Same for the Watts Link? Are the rear shocks going to be mounted to the Watts x-member, as I didn't see any upper mounts? Have you decided on a specific brand yet?

Sorry for all the questions; just curious( and jealous!).

[Build-It-Break-it]

Any updates?

[waynieZ]

It's looking good Payton.

[4*4]

Amazing build! Updates?

[augustiron]

I visited this site for the first time in a few months and was excited to see this thread bumped, but disappointed there are no updates. What an adventure and perseverance from the owner!

The owner of this build is kind of a loser. So you have to give him a lot of extra time.

[Payton King]

Where I left off...we are removing some of the driver's side cowl area. Here are some photos of the pedal box

I hope people know we're friends....

Glad to see some really great updates!!

Go Panthers!

Nice Payton! :thumbsup:

Throw that old rusty stamped sheet metal away and put some nice carbon fiber on it like it deserves.

I like that Jim and you brought in DG's car in as a lab rat to test questionable mods for your project. Strategy!

On a side note the exhaust is very cool and I can't wait to see more updates.

As low as this car sits, 4 inches at the frame at the firewall and 4.5 inches at frame in front of rear wheels, we were going to need to cut the front fenders. This is the first rough cut just so we can get the wheels on. I am going with Sutton's high travel low roll strategy and will be traveling the front wheel 3.75 inches.

Needed a little coaching

[Payton King]

So the first order of business was to completely alter the front suspension. Ron Sutton redesigned the front to go with the rear suspension he had done earlier for me. Let the cutting begin. This was Jake's UCA mount shown below

And this is what Jim Pettigrew came up with.

If you were wondering what the cut outs in the frame are for on the right side...we moved the motor to the right side of the car 1/2 inch. The cut outs are for header clearance. Here they are finished.

[shelteredV]

I imagine Mr. Pettigrew has quite the waiting list, work like this sells itself. I just read the entire thread and have come to a couple of conclusions-

1- I don't have the time or patience to do a build like this
2- #1 is moot cause without selling a property I ain't got the pockets
3- It's fun to live through a build like this vicariously, but it sure would a blast to build a 80/20 track/street car if #1 & #2 didn't apply!

[Payton King]

This was supposed to be an 8 month throw together for track days...it got a little out of hand. Highly doubtful it will see much street action, but I do plan to tag it just in case.

Instead of clicking a button, I thought I'd say thanks for taking these awesomely graphic pictures of the finer details of this build. All of these little things disappear so quickly with paint and passing at an event. There's that and the fact that I spent days scouring the internet when I was (looking for ideas for) building a backbrace; many of us here realize the research value of these efforts!

One day, we might get a personal look at the West Coast version of this car, unless you're planning a national tour . . .

Thanks! This probably should be in the race car section, but I do plan on putting a tag on it. LOL I am posting mostly to show Jim Pettigrew's spectacular work and hoping someone might find the pictures useful in their project.

I just can't hold these pictures back any longer. This is what it is like to work with Jim...I need a wing mount off the back of the car, wing height needs to be even with roofline. That is about all the input I gave him and this is what I got.

Jeepers...this thing is crazy. I like it!

Really glad this build is still going. I say leave the access door for the reservoirs as is or similar. It screams hard core. A fuel door type cover is too polished for this car. Thanks for sharing Payton!

[Payton King]

Thanks guys! It has been a fun project. This is the absolute last Camaro I will ever do.

I went with an AEM CD7 dash. It will plug right into the Holley harness via can/bus. It has data aq and track mapping, etc

Does that mean you're going to build a Trans Am next? No? What about a 66/67 Chevelle? Those are cool!

Does that mean you're going to build a Trans Am next? No? What about a 66/67 Chevelle? Those are cool!

Actually, I think he's considering a spec Miata.

[Payton King]

Nothing as cool as a Miata. lol Next car, if ever, will be a big cruiser. 1960 Caddy on air ride for a daily driver would be the ticket.

[Payton King]

GForce is not far from Charlotte and I got the name of a guy there that does about 85% of the rears for the Trans Am guys and gal. He told me they use the Aluminum Strange unit and the vast majority use a Detroit tru trac. That was surprising to me, but they are not breaking them. Same guy set up my center section, but I am using a Winters wedge loc.

Looks like an assembly off of an 18 wheeler! But maybe a little smaller & lighter. Very cool.

[LS7 Z/28]

Everything is looking amazing.

What’s the brand on the black aluminum column mount/hanger? Looks somewhat like a new style Woodward one, but black, and better looking...

No safety wire at this time. Will use green thread lock.

Yea Mills, not sure how soon as it has been slow going on the motor

No paint and body, frame and back of the car will be powder coated and then it will get wrapped.

[WSSix]

That's a great idea, Payton. There's a number of cars here in Atlanta that are wrapped and they look great.

[waynieZ]

Payton it looks great, I love it!

[XLexusTech]

Payton car looks amazing ... have you wrapped cars before?
My car will be painted but was considering some wrap on the nose to protect from rock chips and was curious if wrap would be OK for the underlying paint

[Payton King]

Thanks Guys!

I have not tried wrapping one myself, but the F350 I bought a few years ago was wrapped matte black. Pulled it off last summer and the paint is perfect underneath.

I will probably try wrapping this one myself

This is just such a bad mother trucker !!

Jim Pettigrew is just a phenomenal fabricator.

Fantastic! Love how this car is turning out.

[Payton King]

Thanks for the kind words guys. This was supposed to be an 8 month project, just had a 6 year birthday. Time gets away for sure. Pulling the motor this weekend, going to bring it home for disassembly and then off to powder.

Those lower screens on the valence keeps the trash off the radiator, the grill area is blocked off.

I know that Pegasus sells wire mesh in different sizes/grades. I used a couple of pieces on my air filter and shaker opening.

Payton, just found this thread. Loving what I'm seeing and "borrowing" lots of ideas for my 2nd gen track car. Are these C6 spindles?

Still working my way through all 90+ pages of this beast! :computer:

EPIC! I am scared already!

Nicely done!! Thanks!! Car looks great.

[GregWeld]

You appear to be lacking a LOT of SAUCE..... so in other words — it’s a really nice car!!

Happy for ya buddy! It’s coming along.

Happy for ya buddy! It’s coming along.

The shock reservoir lines are now perfect. :gitrdun:

[CJD Automotive]

Definitely looking badass.

You get to do the fun part of putting clean and shiny parts on the clean and shiny car...and it all fits together like it was built that way!

[Sieg]

Looking good PK, though not exactly Thrifty. :sieg:

[GregWeld]

The shock reservoir lines are now perfect. :gitrdun:

Yes and someone that actually knows a thing or two about shocks — rather than just spit out BS — valved and gassed ‘em — so they won’t be missing any parts and they’ll be done RIGHT. And the best part — he won’t have to listen to how great the supplier was or how many go Kart races were won....

God I don’t miss any of that!

JJ Furillo FTW if you want great shocks and set up! There are others as well... just as long as it isn’t secret and isn’t sauced.

[raustinss]

I hope nobody wants anything in their lives secret sauced lmao

[Musclerodz]

Powder-coat jail. That's a new one. lol

[WSSix]

Looks fantastic, Payton. I'm glad it's moving along for you.

How exactly do you power coat an entire car though? I thought the powder needed to be sprayed on a preheated car. I'd think it would take a long time to get the power into all the nooks and crannies which means the car would have cooled off by then.

[Flash68]

Powder-coat jail. That's a new one. lol

If it has jail involved... PK can find it. :lol:

[waynieZ]

Payton a whole lot of nice work right there . SWEET!

[slimjim]

geez we may very much live in the same neighborhood. who did you use to 'paint' the car?

[preston]

Well I sold my car and left this hobby behind and strangely enough my lust for super duper performance and race cars has also faded, but I still have subs to some of the build threads and I have to say, its looking really good and almost re-excited the old feelings for a moment.

You should be very happy with sticking with it and putting together such a nicely done machine. This is one I'll continue to check in with because you're doing it right.

[Payton King]

Thanks Preston! Always enjoyed your Mustang.

And thanks to the rest of you as well. Been a long time coming for sure. I powder coated entire car, doors and fenders too. It is a race car and did not need a perfect finish, although the power is amazingly very smooth.

FNO powder coating in Concord, NC did the powder. Great people, awesome job. They told me 10 days and it turn into 3 months. I get they have race shops as regular customers, but it was still a painful wait.

They do put it in the oven after sandblasting to bake off grease, etc. But I am not aware of the metal needing to be hot to apply the powder. They spray the powder then put it back in the oven to cook the coating on.

[Blake Foster]

looks awesome Payton!!

[Payton King]

Thanks Blake! See you in a few days

[Chevelle]

Any more progress lately?
