69 Camaro build
 
5 Attachment(s)
I'm just about finished with this car for a customer.
69 Camaro with a 540, Jerico 4-speed and Strange Engineering 9" rear.
Heidts 4-link, ( tried to get him to do Detroit Speed but he wouldn't go that route ), tube control arms, manual rack and pinion.
We replaced everything on this car except for the roof structure and the firewall and toe boards.
Detroit Speed frame connectors were added and the OEM style inner tubs were widened 3".
Car has alot of hidden mods that the average person won't pick up on.
He is going to make the car look sort of like the Penske Sunoco car , but for the street.

I made the transmission crossmember part of the chassis / floor so the exhaust could be placed higher into the car.
I used solid aluminum stock and machined the rack mounts so they could bolt to the crossmember.

A Stef's stroker pan was added and clearence had
to be built into the crossmember as well as the
header tube for the steering shaft.
Building a version of the cowl air cleaner.

AMD sheetmetal fit really well.

Would a Dynacorn body have been a better start? Just curious.

Oh yeah.
That's what I tried to tell the customer. His argument
was that "those cars have no soul". Of course on the
flip side of that, it gave my bank account plenty of soul..lol

Doesn't look like there is any American soul left but the sweat that you are putting into it??

How well did all the repop panels fit? Looks good from the pics.

I'm gonna have to disagree Jed. Plenty of soul in my opinion. Ain't no LS motor swap car- a real Big Block Chevy. I also love that it is a regular old 4 gear manual trans car. These modern 5 and 6 speeds just don't feel like I need them to.

Ooops. Paul, I was commenting on the body. Other than that, that will have some cajones!
