The grill that came with the car was a little busted up. Luckily I had a nice one in stock at home. I think it is a repo, but it fits nice. We are taking the car to Boris later in July to get some touch up painting done. He said he can match the patina.

cough, cough

:underchair: :D

Borris is a wizard at faux patina. Vastine in TX is also good.

I plan to do the same this winter as I no longer want a pretty paint car. I want a car I can lean on just like I did when I was a kid.

A lot to be said for driver quality paint versus show car paint.... That's the main reason i'm holding off painting the Camaro, then i'd be afraid to drive it.

Mark, I wonder if you could elaborate on your fuel tank venting system that you used, looks like a Ricks resto-mod tank and from previous builds the 2 much cannister? Pics would be great for us mere mortals. Thanks in advance.

When we get the parts I’ll post pictures with an explanation.

Mark

One of the parts I have used on 69 Camaros since 1993. 1990-1993 Caprice fuel/license plate frame. It flips down like a 69 Camaro one, excepts it toggles over and stays in a 90 degree angle while you are filling. I used to get them out of junk yards for $3. Now on EBay they are $35.

When you build a lot of Camaros you get to regift parts. I found this driveshaft in my atic. Matt and I took a few minutes to sort out where it came from. When we swapped the engine and sub frame in Jackass the engine was moved rearward requiring a new driveshaft. So this is to old driveshaft out of Jackass 1.0 from around 2007. Look honey I’m saving money….lol

Love the license plate flip down and try not to talk about what I spend on my cars with my wife.

I thought that looked familiar... my '93 Caprice outside says "hi!"

Haven't had a '94-6 B-body in a few years but the plate bracket ought to be the same for those years as well.

Hey Mark,

I was curious if you thought the C6 Z06 brakes would clear the Forgeline OE wheels front and rear.

Yes Forgeline can build them to fit the 6 piston C6 Z06 brakes. You will need to go to a thinner outer wheel half. I did the base slider C6 brakes to get a more “stock” look. I pulled the hub cab back as far as I could with the widest outer wheel half I could do.

That stance just fff'n works!

At first glance I thought there may be a seat heater switch in the ashtray:D

Now paint it white.

:lol:

Slick idea on the ashtray!

Now the car is more together, I think the wheels need to be blue.

I agree, me too.

Yes!

I would say blue and or add red lines on the tires or rims. Not sure how it's done nowadays. In general, something to break up the black. Car looks killer either way.

Blue and patinaed like the rest?

Ohhhh Borris!

The decals on the A/C compressor are a nice touch:)

Stance is perfect as usual. :thumbsup:

Do you swap the tach and speedo sides because you focus more on the tach when racing or driving?

I did not think about it. I guess the Dakota Digital stuff you can do it either way.

That is just how Matt put it together.

Just when you think you have seen it all when it comes to a 69 Camaro. You once again create a car so simple and unassuming that you have to stop to take it all in.

Can't wait to see more updates.

Thanks! Every Camaro I have built has a little different personality. This one is off the normal recipe. I’ve never had a Camaro with history. I’m happy how it is coming along.

I’m an attempt to make this car quite and a great cruiser, I’m putting 2018 Corvette Z06
Catalytic converters on it. They are high flow and validated for a 650 HP engine. They should work great behind my 500 HP LS7. It should also knock a bunch of noise out of it.

Give you an idea. I'd try to match the paint fade of the car to the wheels.

Clean rims
 

I think once the car gets driven a little and the rims aren't so clean it will look great... I like the black.

Agreed 100%.
