I wish, It's hard to find good pics of magazine feature cars on the internet.

Guess I'll just have to scan the magazine:rolleyes:

here's another look at the TA
not the MOST radical but

syborg tt 02-02-2009 09:32 AM

Radical - Not - but darn is this car cool

Ebay Item number: 300289833156

WSSix 02-02-2009 10:34 AM

I like how he left the paint original eventhough it was falling apart.

Blake, is that ride height? I could live with that for sure. If so, could it be replicated without bags? I'm worried about front lower controls being on the bump stops and the rear wheels coming up into the wells.

Thanks

yea i saw that the other day!
IM almost posetive thats the silver bucket that was in PHR! maybe just a 2.0 version.

Blake Foster 02-02-2009 03:59 PM

yes that is ride height with out bags.
it has the baer 14" with their drop spindles and our upper and lower control arms and QA! GMP kit. the hard part was tucking the exhaust up high enough. bump stops still have 1.5" to the frame, and we tucked the rear wheels in a bit to help with that.

WSSix 02-02-2009 04:40 PM

thanks for the reply Blake. I could have sworn the car was on bags

"the rear wheels coming up into the wells."
Trey All camaros have that issue when u lower the car or bag it and especially when trying to tuck up a tall tyre under the rear. Iv seen some cars that have had the rear quaters pushed out so to speak and you wouldnt of known unless they told you.

got pics - would love to see it since were planning on doing it to my 70


BTW - I know Troy did it on the Cuda and you can't tell.

I havnt seen a 2nd gen get the guard treatment. Jason Wyrick's 73 has a 295/40/20 thats about 29-29.5" tall. https://lateral-g.net/members/wyrick/
but there aint any rear pics up close to see
But there are a number of 69 that have been done. Jeff from J2 red camaro on air had his guards pumped out.

Hi All,
I think that this is the tuffest second gen I have ever seen. It is also on U tube running after during and after the show as well as driving up the someones driveway and getting parked in the shed.

Yeah I knew this was an issue unfortunately. The Firebirds are luckier and can tuck a slightly wider wheel into the rear without issues but it's not much better. I'll eventually run only 18's with most likely a 40 series tire so that's around a 26 -27inch tall tire. I think I'll have to keep my car at DSE height though. I won't have the budget or know how to go lower. There aren't any issues with leaf springs going as low as the DSE car that anyone knows about, are there?

This has turned into a great thread. Thanks everyone.

OLDFLM 02-03-2009 07:48 AM

295/40/18s
 
We're running the Falken 615 series tires, 295/40/18s on Rushforth SuperSpoke 18x10s out back on my 71 Firebird. Stock tubs/suspension...

Before taking it to DSE SW's red 73 TA ran 295/35/18s out back on 18x10 CL205s/TTIIs with 5.5"bs with no issues whatsover and he got it setting pretty low for stock leaf springs with I think a 1" lowering block in the rear and cut springs up front. He ran 255/40/18s up front on a 18x8 with 4.5"bs fwiw.

HTH

V/R,
Ty

I used to have a orange 70 with a blown big block that had graphics all over it. It was in about 18 magazines back in the 80's. It is now in Socal and people say it is in opening credits of "Pinks" ? Lifting the front end at the drags. Pretty wild car but I can't find any pics of it.

Red Rocker 02-04-2009 09:13 PM

Jesse Greening's Camaro is bad ass. I just photographed it last week and it is amazing!

Was this the car the Mike Gnoss built? If it is I remember it well. I didn't know you owned that at one time. It sees regular racing down south now. The car hauls ass and still looks good.

clill 02-05-2009 10:55 AM

Yes that is the car. I wish I had pics. I bought it from Mike years ago.

Thanks for the pics Marty.
That is a NICE car.:hail:

Thanks!!
 
For all the comments! It was hard to build it any other way when you built race cars everyday for 19 years. Especially when you see how a full chassis race car reacts on a shaker rig. Really makes one wonder about street cars!

It really is. I am looking for a close up of the console / shifter area on it, did you get one of that area by chance? Please let me know if you did, email or PM are fine if you can't post it.

Thanks.

I remember seeing this car at the OC hotrod cruise weekend. It was VERY nicely done. I wish I would have had a camera with me, the interior was incredible.

Lots of work still to do, motor getting re-dynoed, the rest of the front suspension parts and new wheels should be on in the next couple weeks.
