Found it! Good stuff right there. I knew it was a Hermance design. He does great work. I love what he did with our rendering. When we get further along, I'll post it. Keep up the great work. Oh and you sound like you are doing a great job with your son as well. I know some of what you are dealing with. I have twin 5 year old girls.:faint:

Twin girls? Oh man, better you than me. LOL!

Thanks for the kind words though. The school deal is a real test of my resolve and patients.

Ben was great to work with, a lot of talent and a hell of a nice guy.
Post yours soon, I'd like to see it.

Well, it has been a long time since this thread had any news worth posting.
Starting Monday I will be digging the car out of storage and getting back to work on things.
I am really excited about tearing back into this!:D

Well its about time! Does this mean you aren't going to help me any more? J/k....very happy to hear this, Eric! You have great plans for this car! :thumbsup:

70rs 06-18-2011 12:34 PM

Thanks buddy!
I will help out on yours......every time I pass through Oregon. Lol!

Deal! At least you aren't charging me storage for the rotisserie! Lol

Good thing you are not charging me rent on that! Haha!

So the plan for the Camaro is......BUDGET.
That means an iron block based LS engine, as many GM factory components as possible (ls3 cam, L92 heads, LS3 intake & TB.....)
I will also use a T56 with a factory type clutch set up. Corvette based brake system. You get the idea.
The suspension up front will keep the original subframe but use aftermarket upper & lower arms, spindles and hubs.
The rear will be all aftermarket/custom. More on that later.

Interior, yet to be decided. But I will have new seats and custom console, door panels and rear side panels too. Those items I will build myself. In fact, 99% of the entire build will be done by me.

The last 2 years have sucked on a personal level. No other way to put it. Things are getting much better now and it's time to get back into the project.
I have made a bunch of great friends here at Lat-g and I wanted to say thank you for all of the support over those difficult times.
Now.....on with the fun stuff!

Glad to hear things are going better for you Eric. It's nice when your on a roller coaster ride to go up for a while. I know the past few years have been quite a roller coaster ride in our house. Thankfully we've been going up for a while now. Hope it stays that way for you. Make sure to post some pics soon. Hell even take some pics of how it sits now all covered in dust just waiting to be dragged back out. :cheers:

Hi Mike! Im glad to hear things are good with you.
I will get some pics Monday from the storage unit its in.

I dont have any delusions of making giant leaps on this, but anything in the way of progress will do me just fine.

NOT A TA 06-18-2011 02:31 PM

Glad to see you got to keep the car through the tough times and you can get back to making progress on it!
