Deal
 

If you found no rust or other damage, you got a great deal on that car.

Looks good already, nice way to start.

That looks badass! Is that two-tone on the powder coating on the frame or is it the light? Powder coat is the way to go. Tough as nails. How were the body bushing perches? They had to re-weld new ones on mine. they were rusted, but came out good in the end.

It must be the light cause was all one color. The perches were fine been real lucky without finding any rust or any damage caused from it.

Got the tires mounted yesterday.

I was at the car show in Kemah tonight ran into a guy selling a set of c7 seats brand new cause he put sparco in his c7. Anyone know if they will fit in a 1970 camaro? I bought them anyway but just wanted to know what am up against.

Making some progress not very much but some. Mounted the tires to the rims I bought from SW. Tried to buy the DSE mini tub kit but it was on back order. Tried buy DSE Quadralink it was also on back order. So bought the mini tubs from DSE and going install the speed tech torque arm. I also bought the narrowed gas tank from DSE even though do not need it now will install it anyway. Stephens race cars will do the mini tub installation and the installation of the torque arm. Also going have them put stronger axles, posi unit, and 3.73 gears instead of the 3.08 in it. Soon as car is mini tubbed the fun will finally begin can put it all back together to be able to drive it. I wanted go with a LS swap but just did not have it in the budget so rebuilt the 383 put a hydraulic roller in it, bought a vintage air front runner with dse power steering pump, had the headers receramic coated, and will install the msd atomic efi. Bought a 3200 yank convertor for the 4l80e transmission. Doing all I can to get this car running before the power tour know will not be painted by then but sure think can get it rolling by then. Please hurry parts!

The seats will fit, but a little narrow and a little high. You will need to reinforce (if the seats came with the mounting brackets) the pan below the brackets though to make it safe, road worthy and track worthy are two different "worthy's" btw

Those do look like some EXTREMELY narrow seats just sitting on the ground, with no other interior bits around them. I feel like I'd need one seat for each cheek.

Gonna look sweet in your car, though!

Thanks brother appreciate the input.

Thanks man still undecided if will put them in there or not bought them but still have not made my mind up yet. LOL

I love the wheels, they'll look sweet on there.

Great project!! Love the wheels. Man I wish my second gen would have been that nice to start with lol.

I like your plan of action on the car, it'll be up and running before you know it. Keep up the good work.

Thanks brother getting them on there will be the key. LOL I have been trying for the last month to make that work. Hope everything I bought will make that happen.

Thanks it needs a paint job and will have to wait a while for it. I hoped to have car done in two years so trying my best.


Thanks brother.

Looks sweet!! I do love a Hugger Orange car. I thought they only produced them in 69 and in 99?

Hugger Orange was also available in 70 1/2. There are only 3 years of the color.

Learn something new everyday!!!

Yea I've got a 69, had a 99 SS (tracked it down and if oil picks back up I may try to get it back) and would be looking for a 70.5 in HO.

Color codes through the years are 72, 65 and 99 for 69,70.5 and 99 respectively.

Thanks man and I do not know much about the history of the colors but take Will word for it. He has helped me more than once with car help.

I don't know it all. But I've been researching camaros specifically first gens but all for the better part of 20 years.

Car is looking good and a good starting point already. Can't wait to see more progress.

Thanks man I am just waiting on parts so can get the ball rolling again.

I know 4th gens, specifically 98-02 lol

I only know a bit about those. Had mine and did open track days with it for about 3-4 years in college. Regret selling it bigtime.

Excellent, I know that feel.

William

It actually was a good platform and done up right, looked very good!

I apologize for the thread hijack!

Well the car has been on hold for a while waiting to get mini tubbed. Brought it to Rick Stevens race cars to get the rear end rebuilt, mini tubs installed, and torque arm from speed tech installed. Nothing ever easy found worst possible news out so had to cut out floor boards and trunk out completely.:superhack: Bought new floor board assembly and trunk pan for the car. Will keep posting pics of progress.

Been there. Hey, when the floors are done, it will look so nice though. Also, get the Dynomat floor kit for your model and the Dyno liner as well. It makes it a lot quieter inside.
The only problem, you almost hate to put anything on the new floor boards because they look so good. At least you have full justification to do the minitubs now. I told my wife "See Honey, since the floorboards are all rotted, now I have to get mintubs" :smiley_smack: :G-Dub: :superhack:

Trying to get your pictures up....

Yep, that was nasty, alright. :confused18:

Thanks brother appreciate the help not sure what I did wrong.

Lol she does not know yet. Will soon enough when I make a withdraw. LOL

You were close - edit your post to remove everything between .jpg and [/img]

There's a long string of extra characters in there that are hosing it up.

Wow that's unfortunate at least you found now and not after you completed everything.

Always a positive to everything negative. LOL

Wow, the scope snow balled fast.

At least you know that the car will be rust free.

Little progress done on the car this week.

They installed larger axles, installed new posi unit, installed the speed tech torque arm, made some custom brackets, relocated the cross member since have the 4l80e transmission, did the c clip elimination, and put in the new gears.

The rear end and everything else is at the powder coater supposed to be back today from them so they can put everything back underneath the car. Been long time trying to get these Fiske under this car and lot of aggravation but man should be just a matter of time. This is by far the best shop and easiest shop ever had to deal with. Super service and super friendly guy Rick is.

Looking Great! I love the Hugger Orange. You said earlier you would rather have a Silver car - I'm doing a Pro-Touring '73 Silver, LS3, TR6060, Torque Arm, etc. I think the Hugger is nicer!

That is the color of when I bought the car. I have not decided what color to paint now the orange is growing on me. LOL

I am jealous of your motor trans combo!

Done thanks again for your help.

Way nice....keep it up!!

That's looking great.
