Project 'INTENSE' 69 Camaro

[Sheck44]

Well for those of you that have been wondering where Steve and his bright blue 69' Camaro have been for the past 2 years of so, well here's what I've been up to ....

I wanted to take the car to the highest level I possibly could, and build the cleanest, most tasteful and the most detailed 69 camaro possible... within my limits of course, and then enter it into the 2017 Motorama car show here in Toronto as 1st time ever shown.

So from the last version of my car the ONLY items that remained unchanged where the supercharged LS7 and the T56 Magnum transmission. This car has undergone a 2000+ hour restoration including the replacement of every panel on the car, a full new interior and a TON of small details that hopefully people (and the judges) would appreciate.

In the end we did ok, we got into the Top 10 (Like the Detroit Great 8) and received the runner up in the best of the Pro-touring class.

I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the guys that came to the show this weekend just to see the car, some of you traveled quite a distance and I am honored that you guys came. Also want to recognize the following suppliers that came through for me in my time of GREAT need (like when we broke the front flush glass and needed a new one just 2 weeks ago !!) ... so BIG thanks to Roger at Speedtech for the Forgelines, Mike and Chris at Fesler for their big time help, the boys at Marquez Designs and to Anvil as well.

Also cannot forget the recognize the boys at Nadeau's body shop that did the most incredible body and custom work, and put up with my OCD crap for the past 2 years .. Rob, Jeff and Jeff #2 ... awesome and I thank you. And finally one of the nicest and well recognized interior specialists in the GTA, Harold at New Image Customs ... you nailed it buddy !!

Forgot Matt ... BEST exhaust guy around, this kid has serious skills (as you can see)

Thank you all
Sincerely
Steve Heck From Toronto Canada 'eh'

I agree,great job.Everything about it looks great:trophy-1302: :trophy-1302:

[67RSRAG]

Pictures don't do this car justice. It's even better close up. Harold did a great job on the interior. I guess there won't be a version 4 everything is perfect :cheers:

[AB69Z]

To say this car looks better in person is an understatement. Now Steve get us the build pics lmao

I couldn't agree more !!! I had the pleasure of seeing it in person and it exceeded my expectations, but I guess if you know Steve that shouldn't come as any surprise. The details WOW. Congratulations

[DEIGuy38]

Beautiful car!!! Love the color what is that?

[Dave Pratt]

That body color/wheel color combo looks great...nice job

[will69camaro]

Amazing looking. Now show the build!!!

[WSSix]

Congrats on runner up! That's a great accomplishment. Car looks fantastic. The paint is so reflective it looks like a mirror.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Guys... HUGE thank you again to all the support and the fantastic feedback for a car that we worked so very hard on and are very proud of.

Now, as far as the build pics go hold tight, my life has been upside down for the last couple of weeks getting the car ready for the show and I kind of have to catch up on some actual work ... :thumbsup:

BTW ... the colour is BMW Mineral Grey Metallic

Cheers
Steve

[Sheck44]

Here is a couple of pics to get you started ...

I really tried to ensure the smallest details were addressed like all matching satin black caps, satin black close out and matching washers. The titanium intake was polished with special compound (9 hours) and the Edelbrock covers had been stripped, sanded and re-coated

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii200/SCOBRA48/WAAAY%20OTT/IN10ENSE/IMG_6453_zps4ie0reto.jpg (http://s264.photobucket.com/user/SCOBRA48/media/WAAAY%20OTT/IN10ENSE/IMG_6453_zps4ie0reto.jpg.html)

Bottom, coated in raptor liner, gas tank cut and polished, everything repainted gloss and satin, every bolt replaced as new. Exhaust system took 4 days, EVERY piece is a mirror image to the other side in both angle, size height etc ... Matt did a KILLER job ... then hand polished for 4 hours or so

I loved it before the changes, too. It's like building two great cars, lol.

I think the exhaust is my favorite part. The new guy did a fantastic job.

Thank you ... the problem is I have major OCD, all i could see was the flaws, and I knew I could build a nicer interior so I just had to get it there ... now it's flawless and now I'm happy with it.

Funny,now I'm building a 1970's Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser and somehow (for now) im happy just to build it as a driver (full LS with a bad a$$ interior of course lol) .. this one I am keeping

Don't want to derail this incredible Camaro thread, we might get banned...

If I get a chance tonight, I'll start an FJ40 thread and we can keep each other motivated.

[waynieZ]

I had a 72 FJ40 all beat to hell but I loved it. Still do like them.

[Ketzer]

I started an FJ thread over in the trucks section. Stories, comments welcome.

[minendrews68]

Steve,
On your push button parking brake switch, is it a momentary switch? When I did mine, I used a momentary rocker that you had to hold down until it was engaged as much as you wanted it, and then held down to release. Can you just push the button once to fully extend and then push once to retract? If so, I gotta' switch to this button.

Thanks,
Carl

[Sheck44]

Carl, its the button that came with the E-Stopp kit so I believe that you push it once and it engages. I'll hopefully be installing the actual unit in the next couple of weeks and I'll let you know

Cheers

Yes, one quick push to engage, one quick push to release. It's not the button though, it is the controller that comes with the E-Stopp. It has a microcontroller to give it some smarts....

I put one in my wife's 69 convertible. Had to defeat the safety feature that prevents the brake from engaging when the car is running so I could engage the brake while moving in reverse to adjust the brake.

So HUGE thanks to the guys at SPL Tuning in Dundas Ontario, and Andrew specifically that dialed this car in and tuned this beast to get 740 foot lbs of torque to the rear wheels

I called Estopp and asked about the switch, and yes it has a module that goes with it that does everything. They said they would sell me the switch or the switch and module since I've already got the actuator. Really nice and helpful people too, by the way..

I don't think the switch without the controller will be very useful. Summit sells the module and switch if I remember right. Unless your actuator draws the same amount of current as the E-Stopp actuator I am not sure how it will operate properly. The controller senses the current to determine when to stop the actuator if I understood it correctly.

I'm telling ya', the more I look at their complete setup, the more I like it. I like their cable management system. I may have to bite the bullet and buy their whole system. Mine was cool for a while (if I could only be satisfied with what I have since it works) Theirs is just way cooler!

That my friend is a great question!!! :lol:
I will likely end up twin turbo LS, and I may just run straight pipe out the rear part of the rockers. I'm a long way from that right now, so I'll play it by ear.
