I am shooting for 3200-3300lbs with me in it. Turbo systems add a bunch of weight haha I am still going to need to convert my 6pt to at least a 10pt (considering just ripping out the wolfe bar and starting from scratch with molly!) |
very nice hard work
|
holy SNACKS thats a lot of nice fab work man! Love that stuff. Very nice.
|
Definitely some nice custom fab work in there
|
Thanks guys. I try and make as many parts as I can. I hate it when I have to pay full tilt for stuff....it would drive me bankrupt!
|
nice build!!!
|
awesome! looks like you have good fabrication and welding skills, nice work man.
|
Thanks for the kind words.
I am decent at fab but I can't weld aluminum to save my life...that is courtesy of my friend ;) |
Beautiful work man! that cars going to be disgusting when you are done and its SO FREAKING CLEAN!!!!!!!
|
Thanks!
____________________________________________ I managed to get a little work done today. I finished up the front suspension, installed the LS1 spindles and brakes and cleaned up the wheel wells... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0405-00701.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0405-00702.jpg I also installed the Mecham spoiler (very similar to the LT1 SS style) http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0402-00693.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0405-00703.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0405-00704.jpg Its a slow but steady build! |
That's definitely one of the best looking spoilers for a Camaro
|
I have always felt the mecham was a little too tall for the camaro like a stinger but for some reason this looks great... NICE.
|
i like it and didnt even know they made a camaro Anything really. have always seen the Trans Am Ugly Shit they come up with.....
|
looks good so far man keep us posted. where are you located?

__________________________________________________ Made a little progress today. I put the baby wheels and tires on (which will be for sale very soon lol), and lowered the car off the stands for the first time since I got it home. Rolled her outside for some fresh air... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0406-00709.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0406-00712.jpg I need to take some up-close photos of the coil-overs...they really open up some tire room. Also, I didnt have the truck today to grab my shortblock, however I did grab my cylinder heads... L92 (I have the complete L92 motor), brand new LS6 valvesprings, resurfaced, ported exhaust side....nothing crazy, but they will do the trick! http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0406-00715.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0406-00716.jpg |
Nice!!
|
looks great! and you say the zr1 wheels are for sale soon? how much and how's the tires
|
I really like the look of that spoiler actually
|
Where did you get the Mecham spoiler from?
|
Funny enough, I picked it up from the previous owner. The guy I purchased the car from was actually the "middle man," not the original owner.
The actual real owner tracked me down on ls1tech and offered it too me. I believe it is discontinued. |

Tires arent all that great, however they do have a little bit of life. I was thinking 300 for the set? Missing one center cap, but no curb rash, wheels are straight and nice. |
i really like that spoiler..i was in the market for a 93-97 style ss one but i think i like the mecham better the more i look at it...they do still sell them on their website

Small Update
Picked up the motor from RADs, and it is finally home where it belongs. Now I need to start cleaning up the block and get it base/cleared: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0408-00720.jpg Picked up a few more parts. I grabbed a set of Wolfe chromoly lowers, and an Aeromotive A1000: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0406-00719.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0409-00723.jpg Also installed the primed hvac delete I built. Its all sealed up and ready for paint! http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...8/SAM_0335.jpg _______________________________________________ I plan on trying to get a LOT done next week...so if the weather is nice and anyone wants to stop by to lend a hand, it would be greatly appriciated! :sFun_crazydance: |
I can probably swing by at some point, I'll get in touch
|
:Superman:down to help let me no!
|
My berger panel is almost done.
Took the time to fill in the "camaro" text, and filled a few small holes. After some sanding, hit it with a few base coats of matte black, and tomorrow I plan on shooting it with the pearl clear that my car is sprayed in (should make it look a little more sating/ semi-glossish) http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0412-00730.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0412-00732.jpg |
looks good
|
looks awesome!

yoyoyo
not much for updates :gripe: I am getting really sick of this whole not having any extra time! Anyways, slapped the new firebird ebony dash in place, and got the camaro column all back together before work. Now I need to track down the upper dash pad to finish it off... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0414-00738.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0414-00739.jpg Also the berger panel is pretty damn sparkly haha ...actually a little too sparkly! I will try and get some pics of it in the sun up tomorrow. |
Good luck finding an intact upper dash pad, they tend to crack. How much was the firebird dash if you don't mind me asking?
|
I paid 100 and it was new in the box (1300 from the dealer haha)
|
lookin good! what steal on that dash!!!
|
I would love to do the dash swap one day... Nice progress man.
