View Full Version : New Project Spotlight: Payton King's 69 Camaro.
We're just getting started with the multi-page spread, but this will give you the idea of the extent of the project. There's no doubt, it's going to be a killer car.

Thanks for all of the positive responses.
I am running a small mini-tub with a 9 inch and DSE 2 inch drop rear leafs and koni shocks. Stock front rubber bushing(for ride quality) and Global West del-a-lum bushings in the rear.
I am sorry to hold out on you Chris, I thought I had sent them. I will have more updated photos in a couple of weeks.
Steve, you would have to be coming this weekend. I will be at the beach, but I am coming back Sunday. What time is your flight? I am sure we can get together. You are more than welcome to stay at my house if you need a place to stay.

Wow Payton Looking good! Believe me, you are a lot farther along than most folks. Keep on truckin man, you are getting there. To quote a favorite movie:
"Was it over when the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor...Hell No!"
"Germans?..."
"Forget it, He's Rolling...."

See now you are going to make me go home and watch it again tonight.
Update on motor. The block is fine, going to order new pistons as I am nervous about cutting valve reliefs in the stock cast pistons and then hitting it with the spray. Going to research on the strength of the stock rods. Need a new timing chain (ls2) and new lifters. The guy screwed me out of my Comp R's. It won't be long now.

Hey Payton,
I cant believe you are not going to the car show and swap meet at Lowes Motor Speedway this weekend. I am planning on coming down Friday and see if you were going as well. Wanted to see your car, which is coming along VERY NICELY :thumbsup: .
I bet Steve cant wait to take a ride in his new car. :D
Steve, please let us know how it goes and give details :thumbsup: .

Steve, motor is an LS1 and I am using a stock water pump...why can you get me a meizer cheap?
I am missing the show as I told my wife it was the 1st week in April so she scheduled a beach trip for the family. I will be at the year one cup april 21-24 though. Come down anytime and you can see my car. It should be back by the race track in a couple of weeks.
