Nothing really to update. I traded the 396 I got with the car for a Roof skin and lower passenger side fender panel. That should round out the body work end of the car after I get my new deck lid in.

I am still working on a build plan. I want to use the car to promote my Turbo shop for I am leaning towards a Twin Turbo setup on a SBC. As for a trans I am thinking about a 4L80E instead of a stick. I have a complete Richmond 6 Speed setup that should be here tomarrow. I just know how turbo engines like auto trannys to help load the engine and build boost. Then again with a smaller set of turbos the stick wont have any problems building boost eigther.

End of my rambling... :cheers:

It looks like you have a nice build going there. I love second Gens. I like that hood you have on it . I had one on my 73 Z28 back in the 70's Good luck with the build.

Suspension plans...
 
This is what I am looking at for my 70 Camaro Project:

70-81 Racing front end kit 2CS-835 $679.00
67-92 F-body 600 steering box kit 2CS-838 $559.00
67-81 Solid Body Bushings OCF-801 $93.00
70-81 Sub Frame Connectors 2CF-821 $169.00
70-81 Comp kit W/adjustable shocks 2CS-436 $739.00
Front and rear sway bars $379

All from Pro Touring F-Body.

Total $2618


I am not a open track racer or avid auto-x guy. I just like to have a well sorted car that is able to handle when pushed, yet be compliant enough for a 4-5 hour highway drive to a car show or two.

Here are some updates: Nothing really new. Benn busy at the shop with customer turbo setups. My buddy has been working on the cmaro a little at a time. Found some rust issues that we were not expecting, as well as some damage fromt he trailor ramp dropping on the roof. Its all fixable. Just time and Money.

He says its not as bad as it looks. He knows what he is doing. He had already cut out alot of the bracing before I took the pics. I have to make some new bracing for the Quarter and such now. Just more work as usual...

I have decide to go toward a more street strip setup. It will be a quicker and far cheaper build, but will be just as much fun.

We got the new Roof skin and passenger 1/4 on last night. Still have plenty of body work left to do before paint.
