I'll take that as a great compliment considering it came from a Cuda guy!:cheers:

Another camaro?? .. More likely one more dream camaro to me :bow: This i just what i am after. I still havent decide do i need the quadralink. Did you have to modify the fender to mount those tanks ? Can you tell me what is that silver ? Looks beautifull!!!!!!!

It's pretty funny how the internet makes it seem like every other guy has a bad ass 69 camaro with an Ls7!!

Nice project by the way!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments! No, I did not have to modify the fender at all for the oil tank. I cut about a 8" hole in the fenderwell and run the tank down alongside the frame rail. Used a paint can to mark the hole. By the way those brackets came with the Peterson tank.

Couple people showed up and asked what the he!! I was doing.:lol:

As far as the color danged if I know, we found one in a color map book that was close to what I wanted, then we started adding a little this and a little that. We do have it all in the computer if we need to reproduce it! When we first started spraying I was scared to death how it would look!!

Ain't that the truth, the internet has really changed the way we see things. Like trying to pick a color that hasn't been done on a 69 Camaro.
I struggled for months trying to figure that one out. Had to just make one up. I originally wanted black and it seemed like a bunch of nice cars got done in black right at that time. SW's camaro for one, even had the same wheels.

Thanks for the compliment, my body guys and I went to SEMA and we spent a fair amount of time in the Marquez booth going over your ride. WOW! Gotta be my new favorite. Unbelievable work. Sorry but we stole a few ideas.:bow: Recognize this?

Looking very nice Steve. :hail: What are you using for pulley's? This seems to be a major issue on stock subframes.

What EFI system are you using (FAST, etc)?

Very nice project. Please continue to post updates and pics.

I plan to use the ATS sidewinder setup. Checked it out at SEMA and it is very cool!


What EFI system are you using (FAST, etc)?

I'm using the stock Z06 computer and a harness from Speartech. It uses a LS2 MAF sensor and the stock drive by wire throttle body.

By the way this smoked glass kit from GP Superstore looks great!

Probably should have started a new thread in Project Update section but, well here we are. Been busting my A$$ to get this done to enjoy driving it this summer. Fired up the motor two weeks ago today and managed to drive it downtown for a car show the next day. She started right up and sounds great. Still have some things to finish before driving it regularly though, like a real exhaust system and a tune and fabbing up an intake tube and mounting the ac and.... But it feels good to be this far:cheers:

ha The little things. Finishing up seems like it takes for ever. A/C leak, bad wiring plug, more A/C leak, new door latch rod connector breaks, radio doesn't work right, tuning, fabbing more parts, aaarrrgggghhh!

ha ha But you got to love it! :woot:

Congrats on a beautiful car :thumbsup:
