My 67 Camaro at Sled Alley

[clill]

67 Camaro we started on at Sled Alley in 2015 but got side tracked by the 65 Riviera and The S15.

[clill]

Finally back on it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210610/52990023d272ae81e099c256c2170124.jpg

Way back in the day I watched the movie Better Off Dead and fell in love with the 67. Eventuality I will find my first car which was a 67 but for now I will live vicariously through this build.

That's the same thing I hear about the 12 bolts now, since all the gears aren't made with enough machining they all wine or make a buzzing noise at different speeds,

and now the 9" are the same,

When someone going to start machining the gears back the old way,

I got the gearfx full rear end from detroit speed. bought the debur and break in service. came in and filled it with fluid and of course it leaks. nice. brand new parts leaking right off first fill up no fun. Called them and they sent me the seal, of course the wrong one(pinion instead of carrier itself)

They often leak around the studs. Does it have copper crush washers on the nuts?

Take the four bottom studs out of housing , put red locktite on them and reinstall. They will not seep anymore.

Superb craftmanship by Matt and team as always.

[EVIL SS]

The car and project looks great! Any reason why you didn't use the Holley crossmember mount?

Also on your rear frame picture, how wide of a tire are you going to run? Those didn't look like all the parts that come in the DSE tub kit. Looks like you have a little something cooler happening there :)


Thanks,
Dave

[Sled Alley]

Holley doesn't currently offer a crossmember for the 8 speed auto or I would have used that and made it easy. I kept the crossmember tucked inboard as much as possible to make extra room to run a larger resonator to try and cut down noise as much as possible.
Rear suspension is all DSE we just cleaned things up and blended some here and there, there was a little additional work done to the outer wheel houses and the rear lower quarter was brought outboard slightly so the shape from front to rear of the car has a nicer curvature and doesn't dive inboard so hard in the back. The car will end up with a 325 or 335 rear tire

Thought I'd never see an update on your 67, it's been years since you mentioned this car, nice to see progress and great work of course by Sled Alley!!!

[ArisESQ]

beautiful work so far

[waynieZ]

With the way your figuring the car with 325 on the back how much ground clearance will you have to the transmission pan?

[Beechy]

Post #55
Am concerned about the weight of the trans levering on the single thickness floorpan.
Flex in the trans mount provides no rotational stability to those tabs/bolts.
Am aware of the doubler above the floor but the point load on the single skin is too much.
A nice fabrication but looks weird.
I HOPE I'M WRONG :peepwall:

The exhaust will still be the low point of the car. The motor and trans were both raised up to gain trans pan clearance to the ground

This is the same style I built for mayhem, hellfire and gordons 67 camaro, the tabs pickup on the sheetmetal floor pan, the seat reinforcement and also the doubler plate to tie things in

[Stielow]

Well Hell! thats not good, I dont know much about them, but they have some good reading and info on the site,

Gear FX is the best, I really think it is a gear supplier issue. Most of the gearsets are loud. Once the Ford 9 inch went out of normal passenger car production the aftermarket had no reason to make good quality quite gear sets. In my opinion.

I'll start a build thread on "Crunchy" the 1955 Chevy. If the 8.8 set up in Lillard's is dead quite I'll do that.

People who can do that type of sheetmetal fabrication are my heroes. :king:

[srode1]

That looks great! Curious, did you leave the cowl vent in the rear to help release air from under the hood instead of using extractors? I'm guessing that would work even though there's a slight positive pressure at the cowl, the pressure under the hood from the air coming in the grill would be enough to offset that and more.

[Che70velle]

Absolutely stellar sheet metal work. Wow!

Funny thing is when the car is done nobody will notice it. Kinda like the floors in the Riviera. But I know it's there !

Nice work on those fenders! Hell, nice work on everything, but I can really appreciate the work on those fenders. I'd like to do something similar to mine to clear the DSE upper control arms....

Charlie,

Thanks for posting more of your project.:thumbsup:

I like the the uniqueness in each year of the 1st gens….and maybe I missed it, but why a 67?

Thanks,

[clill]

I like the clean look of the 67 front end. This was actually a rally sport but we got rid of all that.

V8, 8 speed, 8.8 rear....has to be tuxedo black because this beauty is dressed to the eights!
Charlie, please tell me this magic 8 ball has a 800hp (or888)tune ready for it.

[ScotI]

I’m curious, why a 8.8 rear?

Per previous posts/builds on these caliber of builds it is my understanding that the 9" rears can be noisy when using aftermarket gears. The 8.8"s can be set-up to handle the power & are quieter.

I always love watching your builds and Marks come together.

I'm currently building a 69 Camaro, it's been a long project.
I'm trying to incorporate some of the good ideas that I see people here doing.
The craftmanship and level of detail isn't as high in mine but I do my best.

I have a question regarding the dry sump.

I see that you are using the same style as Mark has used on his past few builds.
I noticed the Mark has a dipstick tube that goes to what looks like a 6AN fitting on the firewall.
Are you planning to do the same?
Does this tube double as the fill port as well?

If not, how do you fill the sump?

thanks

Wow nice! looks like a lot of work to fit those seats and it's nice to have the integrated seat belt. I've been round in circles in the past to find a seat belt solution that's not a PITA. Can't wait to see the finished product!
I was looking hard at Scheel-Mann (http://scheel-mann.com/products) seats because of their integrated belts but size was a deterrent

[214Chevy]

I was looking hard at Scheel-Mann (http://scheel-mann.com/products) seats because of their integrated belts but size was a deterrent

Same here...strongly considered the Scheel-Mann, but I think their integrated seat belts seats are too tall and made more for trucks, if I'm correct in what they told me over a year or so ago.
