Speedtech Builds Karl's Camaro!

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Funny how this industry is. Where else can you start a project, decide to go a different direction, then come across another guy that wants a project like yours and takes it on to be his own, promising to take really good care of it. It's like a win win big warm and fuzzy family, right?

Such is the case with this new Speedtech ExtReme Camaro build. Some time ago we started a 69 Camaro project for a client. With big changes at work and being clear back on the east coast he decided a different route was more suited to him, but was stuck with the dilemma of selling his partially built '69 Camaro to the right person. Just so happens a local fellow had a '68 Camaro he was building but had a bad itch for a '69 instead, and heard about the car here for sale. Low and behold, the car stayed in our build shop and is now under way again. BTW the '68 is for sale now :D.

Here's the car when it came to us some time ago. As a clone it looked pretty nice but that was on the surface and reality check showed it was a little ugly according to disassembly media blasting.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

The body was so messed up on this car that we considered doing an entire new aftermarket body. In the end it turned out more cost conscious to replace what was needed and salvage what we could. It's really surprising what was under the paint and what appeared to be a fairly straight body, the previous "Bondo Sculptor" did a great job hiding it all. Here's a list of the new sheetmetal we put on:


Both rear 1/4s
Both rockers
Both doors
Both fenders
Top of the dash
Firewall
Complete floor
Complete deep rear wheel tubs

In the process this car is also receiving a few body upgrades:


Tucked rear bumper
Shaved drip rails
Bullet mirrors
Razor hood
Custom front valance
Custom sheetmetal dash
ExtReme frame connectors
Something a little different for the rear seat area
Bolt-in custom roll cage

Here are a few pics to get started with...

Wow Ben looking good!

[simbad's68]

How's the fit on Door panels? I haven't had much luck finding reviews on them.

[Blake Foster]

pretty good, you have to invent the mounting system but no real fit issues. the finish is good as well.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Back to the body work. Along with the new sheet metal we're doing a couple subtle upgrades like shaving the drip rails. This is one of those design cues that really smooths the visual flow of the car.

https://i.imgur.com/5nFiynR.jpg

[Ben@SpeedTech]

As we roll through the visual design plans on this car it's going to be a great blend of subtly bold, if there is such a thing. The exterior colors will be charcoal gray metallic, black, an accent of silver and maybe just a tiny splash of red. Nothing new right? But between the unique exterior stripe design and the interior layout we're anticipating this car will still jump out in a crowd and even with low key colors will create a decent level of boldness.

Here's a copy of the interior rendering I put together. Karl's always had a dream of driving a Camaro in the Silver State Classic as well as doing some Pro Touring events so we're setting up the interior to be able to easily exchange a proper race seat for the normal street driver seat. This OMP seat we'll be using has a cool design sewn in so we've decided to play the rest of the interior off that.

With an SSC legal cage Karl doesn't see any folks climbing into the back so we're making the rear seat functional in a different way. The back rests will be opened to expose the 12" woofers, having the speaker grille follow the upholstery pattern. The lower seat portion will open up via seat belt type straps to reveal storage compartments. The package tray will sport a contoured layout for the speakers and the trunk will have fairly simple and smooth upholstery matched panels.

Thanks Dave, and Yep, Don's correct.

[frankv11]

I like it , can't wait to see more

[Ben@SpeedTech]

The work continues with the Camaro, at this point Robert is getting all of the body lines and gaps fitted and matched while Jeremy reconstructed part of the firewall for the triple master kit and finalized the rear package tray. A full rendering and the start of the final body work are on deck!

[GregWeld]

This is turning out killer!! <LOL --- an old reference only Blake will get>


Funny how many of these Camaro's are little more than bondo queens -- all dressed up but underneath is just a mess..... Seen this dozens and dozens of times.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks Marty!

Greg- Lol! Yep it is Killer. Yeah, it's sad that so many cars have short cuts and slap together builds. I'll bet a good portion of the cars that roll through auctions are like that. I used to think that it was the cheap work of the shops but I now see that often it's the owner wanting a million dollar car on a fast food budget and bondo bandits are the only compromise. Luckily many of these cars circulate into the hands of folks that have the budget to bring them to shops where we can start fresh and do it right this time around. As the guy that gets to take the pics I really enjoy seeing that happen, and knowing another muscle car will be done right and good to go for years and years.

[gofastwclass]

Another factor is some cars (like mine) were repaired by collision shops in the 70's when these cars had nothing beyond daily driver value and zero aftermarket parts availability. Getting the car on the back road quickly was the first priority with low cost being the second.

One of the old timers I know told me how a place he worked would bang out the dents with a slide hammer, big mallets and other rough house tools then lather on the bondo like frosting a cake. When it was dry they would file and sand their creation until it looked close enough. The car would be sent to him to spray and ship out the door. If they did replace a panel, lap seams and mud were the name of the game. At several places he worked in that era it was all about speed and the bosses would fire guys who weren't fast enough.

Either way it still boils down to quality taking a distant second place to quantity. :bang:

Thankfully shops like yours and several others actually care about the cars they build and the customers they serve. Thank you for that and thank you for sharing some really nice work. :)

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Great point of view, thanks for sharing. Whatever the reason this sort of work takes place, we're grateful we're in a position to help take these cars to a higher level of build and restoration and preserve and improve a bit of our country's automotive history.

[gofastwclass]

Speaking personally, but I feel my opinion is shared on this topic... I would like to give a big thank you to your team, the other builders / shops, suppliers and individuals too numerous to individually name who make this hobby possible. Especially to the ones who push the limits from time to time and share their findings with the masses.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Amen to that.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

We've been distracted a bit with prepping for the Good Guys show in Scottsdale this weekend, but I wanted to share this shot too until we get back on the car full throttle. Jerem'ys building some inserts for the hood, and notice he's using a hexagon mesh. The same mesh will replace the factory grill and you'll see that pattern throughout the car. More coming soon!

https://i.imgur.com/k2SR4Os.jpg

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Karl's Camaro is now in the body shop area getting the sheet metal worked out. For those not so familiar with what it takes to achieve a high end finish on a car this photo does a great job of illustrating the hours that potentially go into it. Even with brand new 1/4 panels it's almost surprising how ripply the metal can be. You can see some slight manufacturing impressions in the sanded areas and some more prominent areas got a little hammer and dolly and a skim coat of filler to be worked to get that show perfect laser straight finish. More coming soon!

https://i.imgur.com/kecvGC1.jpg

[gofastwclass]

Nice progress. There are hours invested in hanging quarters properly and even more hours in making them show car straight.

[tmadden]

Love the hood. Can’t wait to see it finished

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks fellas!

Key body work is now done and then it moved over to the paint booth for the first spray of primer. Next up, lots and lots of block sanding...

https://i.imgur.com/VJtWf8Q.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/tlwG2iq.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/37EAbyP.jpg

[Ben@SpeedTech]

All that prep work really pays off. Karls' car now wears a fresh new hue, the same charcoal gray metallic his Ford Raptor wears. Next up- cut and buff for the smooth as glass show car punch!

For those of you near Nevada, we're doing a vendor booth at the big Mesquite motor mania car show this weekend, Jan 12-14th. We'll be doing demonstrations on how we cut and buff on this car right at the show. Stop by and check it out!

Now on to wet sanding... and wet sanding... and wet sanding... ;) Bob's moving right along on the cut and buff and it looks incredible! For other outer visuals here's also a pic of the front Forgeline wheel with a black chrome finish. The rear wheels have a similar positive offset look except the center mounting pad area is more concave.

Good looking build! that color is awesome and should look bitchin with those wheels!

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks!

More updates- With the car painted assembly started with our ExtReme subframe and suspension, all that great geometry enhanced with Ron Sutton secret sauce Ridetech coilovers, Sweet Rack & Pinion and StopTech brakes.

Next up was installing the custom LME (Late Model Engines) built 427 LSX block based mill that dynoed at just over 750 hp at 8000 rpms. Check out that machined from billet dual throttle body intake and valve covers! Woohoo!

This BB Forum needs a like button similar the 4Runner Forum as not everyone wants to reply but I am certain they would say Hay, I am here and I am looking.

[1500ccturbo3whl]

I need one of those in my garage

[GregWeld]

Just WOW....... what a sweet build!

[214Chevy]

I have those same, exact valve covers and yes...they are so sweet.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks fellas, sweet indeed.

Moving right along, the Camaro is now back on it's own legs, and Bob took the opportunity to give it a final back rub. It looks great at this ride height but to optimize the ExtReme suspension geometry the car will drop another slightly over another 1" for a killer slammed look. Karl really digs the Black Chrome and the modern offset look on wheels so he went with these Forgeline beauties to wrap the 335s around. Also check out the LED taillights, man these things are nice!

[Ron in SoCal]

Top notch guys!

I am of course partial to the color :)

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks!!

More progress on the engine bay and interior. A good portion of that wiring goes to this custom dash Jeremy did a great job with. Speedhut gauges mount along with lighting controls Vintage Air HVAC controls and some totally trick billet honeycomb vents that match that design element that's throughout the car. Lots of fluid cooling was necessary since this car is meant to maintain high speeds for long distances. That dry sump oiling looks right at home too.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks! We think so too. :D

With the engine bay mostly complete exhaust routing was next on the check list. We always use a universal fit stainless kit and custom fab everything so it's tight to the car, looks good and maintains flow velocity better than a crimp and go muffler shop system. Kar'ls Camaro uses 3" tubing with slip fit collectors and exits right below the valance.

The interior panels are done so our focus is now headed in that direction. What's a street/ race car without some decent tunes for when you're waiting in line, right?

What's a race car without tunes?

Makes me think about a guy I used to race against in my Scca
Autocross days.. it would be 103 or 104 out... really hot...and I would go over to him to check what his time was while waiting in the staging lanes...he would slightly crack the window down with his AC going and listening to classical music
and smile... I told him I was sure that was against the rules:)

I would head back to my car with rollup windows, no ac, no insulation
on the firewall or floor and try to hide from the sun inside and then
hope the damn thing started after heat soaking the starter

Bob

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Moving along, Jeremy's got the front fascia all put together with a custom hexagon mesh that matches the rest of the design motif and is contoured in the middle and at the sides. A late model RS emblem helps hide the split between the two grill sides, and check out those trick turn signals!

The engine bay is also near completion and should be ready to fire up here soon. The goal is to have this car on display at the upcoming LS Fest West where you can see it up close.

this one will be there may not have all the interior parts, we had Recovery room do it and wouldn't you know it the handy forklift driver at the shipping company thought it would be funny to drive the forks into the wooden crate!!: confused59: not sure but that is now 2 for 2 for forks in crates coming from Tracy

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Thanks for all the compliments fellas!

The engine bay is just about wrapped up, as the engine soon will be at race events too. ;) We made the custom air intake that goes down to the air filter housing which is mounted down where it will pick up air from below the car. We also machined the coil caps with the same rough cut texture that's on the billet intake manifold. The larger tank on the right side is for the dry sump oil reservoir, while the one on the left is power steering.

Than you for the information. The car looks outstanding

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Here's a look at the bottom side of that cool custom air intake, a trick air filter box that's fed from underneath away from engine heat. Also seen is the remote oil filter location, part of the set up with our road race and dry sump LS oil pans. Next up is a custom air dam and splitter that will help guide air to the filters and provide the necessary down force at higher speeds.

https://i.imgur.com/cHVQTtp.jpg

[gnx7]

Very nice work. In the driver side of the transmission lower drain hole is that a temperature sensor?

[Tinker]

That oil filter sure looks low. Maybe it's just camera angle, but I assume the air dam and splitter will be protecting it?

[syborg tt]

Ben I am removing you from my Friend list as this car has given me way to many idea's

Car is awesome and it looks like camera angle as the filer looks to be above the bottom of the frame.

[Blake Foster]

yes it is

[Blake Foster]

the filter is about 3" above the bottom of the frame and when the splitter is on only the nut shows so you can get the filter off with out removing the splitter

[Tinker]

I had to ask. I assumed it was all good, I haven't ever seen anything half-a$$ed come out of your shop.
Car is looking fantastic!

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Here's some more pics to show what we've got going on...

The radiator support is in line behind the valance grills, airflow will go up through the radiator and down underneath to the air filters.

https://i.imgur.com/sBQ3x2Q.jpg

The air filters are in front of the sway bar and will be sealed off, guiding the air flow and keeping debris and such from the tires getting up in there.

https://i.imgur.com/EtZTwWe.jpg

The splitter will create down force at speed, seal the air box on the bottom side and help direct airflow under the car.

https://i.imgur.com/oUZazYy.jpg

[Ben@SpeedTech]

The interior's that coming together while the air dam is being fabricated. The back seat is kinda useless with the cage in the way so we made it a little more useful with the speakers taking up the back portion and functional storage compartments on both bottom sides.

https://i.imgur.com/Gx9WesB.jpg

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Wrapping up the trunk (no pun intended) custom leather covered and magnetically attached .090 aluminum finish panels really enhance the sleek look. One hides the battery and one the amps. Don't forget the go-go juice mounts too!

it is AWESOME to drive, i might be slightly bias, but everytime i s drive one of these cars with the Extreme suspension it amazes me how well they cruise. forget the track and auto X stuff just driving on the freeway with 315 front tires and 1 finger on the wheel!! and smooth this car right now has 450 front and 275 rear springs (street Setup) but a 1.30 dia front bar (for later open road course setup) and it is just nice to drive. the customer drove it the other day and had a HUGE Smile the whole time.

Go there and take a look, and then feel free to comment your thoughts about the car here. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Man does that look great and I love the stripe on the hood.

Thanks Marty! As the guy that does the renderings and design stuff it can be a bit of a challenge to make "another" 69 Camaro stand out, and that makes it all fun. Unique is a good thing and everything about this car is unique- design, engineering, power plant, construction... Overall everyone did a great job on it and it's been awesome and a pleasure to see Karl's dream car come to life!
