WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dan that's badazz!!! I'm liken that engine that's for sure please keep the updates coming !!:thumbsup:

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Incredible! I need to check out the introductions more!!!

Very cool build! Love the power plant but you need to make buddies with a detailer! That thing is going to be a bear to keep polished!!

Keep up with the pics.. It looks great so far!

Is it done yet?

I think Dan is working on his projects thread right?? Isn't that right Dan?

Back in the Game!!
 

Hello All...I'm pleased to announce that I started the project back up again. The Camaro has been sitting since May 2012. I've been at it for four Sunday's in a row. Every day is one day closer to completion. My buddy and I are keeping each other motivated. We both hit the shop every Sunday. George works on his 63 Nova and I work on the Camaro. We ultimately work with each other on both rides. I'll start posting new pics soon.

Thanks to everyone that's following my build.

:thankyou:

Great to hear! :bigun2:

Great news. Awesome build. I'm looking forward to seeing it come together.

That motor still makes me giddy :D

Welcome back Dan! :cheers:

Glad to see your back at it.

Dan

It's good to see you back on this project.:thumbsup:

Lets Roll Dan!!!!

Apparently, I have some catching up to do on all of your rides and projects. You guys have been busier than me I take it?

I'm always getting emails from all of your threads but I think I remember some dry spells out there. I don't think it gets any drier than mine though.. Ha ha

Amazing build.. Subscribed.

Welcome to my nightmare!!!
 

Worked on it today and discovered that nothing fits. haha I'm just brainstorming some ideas. Have to run reverse rotation on that oil pump. I have some ideas. The hoses are there for the mock up. I'm not too fond of the red and blue. I might run partial hard lines. I love black hoses with the black fittings. You can also catch a glimpse of the water pump with -24 fittings that I had Meziere make me for the Billet Specialties Tru Trac kit. There's a lot of Mods to get that water pump to work in there along with having to relocate the power steering pump. This is because, well,....nothing fits!:drowninga:

And yet another milestone achievement...The motor is officially not on blocks anymore! lol That motor was propped up on wood in that frame for the last three years!!!!

love this 22 gallon fuel cell!! It setup with a bladder and foam. They also mounted my Aeromotive pump inside for me. In theory I should be safe if I get rear ended...right?

My buddy George's Nova is coming along as well. We have a great time working on both rides every Sunday. We keep each other quite motivated all week long. He's had that thing for 20 plus years. He's doing all Detroit Speed parts on it with an LS3. While it's off the ground by a mile right now he wants that thing in the weeds...definitely will be nice ride as well.

Ok...Let's see what we can get done next Sunday!!!!

Thank you all again for the continued support.

Are those headers going to hold up with heat?!?!?

Yup it sure does!!!

That's a great milestone :RunninDog:

I like the PVC headers. Cool idea for mock up:thumbsup:

I'm more concerned about where the steering shaft is going to go:headscratch:

Keep at it:cheers:

What an absolute beast!

and yeah as another who is working thru the header mod & steering shaft placement and clearance I wonder too....

Where you at with this thing? Was just in Hollister today looking at a truck... will be back soon and would be cool to see this thing in person. :popcorn2:

cool build so far...what you going to do with this thing?

Keeping a tire company in business
Scaring babies
Making puppies yelp
Making old ladies cuss
But mainly making pants tight

Trade it in for a Prius? sorry, couldn't resist...

This is an awesome build! I really like your wheel choice as well, it fits in great with the car. Best of luck on your progress!

-Aman

We're there every Sunday...Come on over! Just don't come over and beat me up on fitment...I will shoe-horn everything in there if its the last thing I do!!! lol

This is quite accurate!!!

We'll see...I'm eventually going to have different wheel and tire combos depending on what I do. I think I'll figure it out when I finally shake it down.

Recent progress
 

Sorting out the mufflers was tough but I think it came out pretty sweet...

Appreciate that...In the end I may just use those wheels for fun on the street.

Maybe I'll race one for pinks instead...haha

I actually had a shaft mocked up with my steering wheel at one point through those headers before the motor plate was installed. I'm going to go with a Woodward Steering column and quick release. It's going to be tricky but I found a way to make it work. Don't worry, I'll post detailed pics.:)

This car has blown my mind :wow:
