Default Recipe for Pro-Touring

Here is one way to whip a fresh Pro-Touring basket of goodies:



Take one 67 Camaro-

Shake well, until all loose, old, crusty suspension falls out-

Add two parts of Wayne Due suspension-

Put Wayne Due sub on a flat sheet-

Dump contents of 67 Camaro onto subframe-

Take 1 tall deck big block, 2 engine plates, and a McLeod modular bellhousing and sprinkle them onto the front end-

(Note some firewall clearance may be needed. In case of engine setback, subsitute factory pedal mounting with Tilton unit)

For optimal results, place engine behind front axle centerline-

For a topper, try adding a set of 20x10 and 20x13 wheels-

When placing in oven, make sure oil pan does not hang below frame rails-

Take Wayne Due brackets and place welder on tack for 15 min-

Blend Guldstrand components-

Slide rear into sheet with Camaro and Subframe-

Serve with loads of horse power-

I like looking at pretty pictures. Thanks. Where do the forward links of the rear suspension mount? I assume you will open up the firewall, yes?

The 4 link portion mounts to a bracket not yet welded in. It goes between the frame rail and the inner fender.
The firewall and tunnel will be removed for this car.
It is coming along nicely. As soon as the other 3 wheels/tires show, I'll pop it on the ground for a nice look, then off to the body shop for a few months.

I have a pair of Carbon Fiber half shafts on the way, along with full Guldstrand camber kit, 4 link bars, and tie rods. It will hold as long as those 20 wheels never hook!
