another newby here, and another 70 Camaro...

[70gotboost]

Hey folks, finally got the nerve to write into one of these forum things, just wanted ya'll to know lateral-g.net is one of the best sites I've stumbled upon since beginning the latest transformation on my '70 Camaro.

A little background on my project... It's my first car, bought it in 1986 when I was 16. Since then it's been through a couple different looks, from the classic air shocks and Keystone Classics of the '80s to the fake "Z" look of the '90s. Now it is sitting in the garage being upgraded to the Pro-Touring/G Machine status.

Details on the upgrades are tubular control armed front suspention with coil over shocks, 1 1/4" sway bar and 2" dropped spindles. Rear suspension work includes 4" mini tub, narrowed 9" Ford with Moser goodies, and 3" DSE dropped leafs. Engine & transmission include a Vortech supercharged 388 sbc with a Tremec TKO600 5 speed.

Enjoy the photos attached. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing all the other projects hit the road in the new year.

Hate to rain on your parade :_paranoid but...while that is a beautiful car and yes,I too am glad to see all the interest in the early 2nd gens,that isn't a Rally Sport split bumper car,it's a Sport Coupe with RS bumperettes.

If you dont mind, what coil overs are you running on the front?
Thanks,
Ryan

[70gotboost]

The front suspension has Fat Man 1 1/2" narrowed tubular control arms with 2" dropped Superior Spindles and Carrera shocks.

Thanks for asking....

Welcome aboard, you got a very nice 2nd gen there. :thumbsup:

[PhilM]

70,

Nice car. I bought my second gen in 85 when I was 15.

I did the bumpers like you did. I personally like that look. You will really like it here. I have been lurking for a long while to feel it out and found it to be the best that I have visited.

Welcome from another noob...
