I just can't hold these pictures back any longer. This is what it is like to work with Jim...I need a wing mount off the back of the car, wing height needs to be even with roofline. That is about all the input I gave him and this is what I got.

That thing is so badass, can't wait to see it as a roller
|
Man, that thing is wicked!

Goodness Gracious!!!

I love that wing.
Anything worth doing is worth OVERDOING! |

Jeepers...this thing is crazy. I like it!
:popcorn2: |
Really glad this build is still going. I say leave the access door for the reservoirs as is or similar. It screams hard core. A fuel door type cover is too polished for this car. Thanks for sharing Payton!

Thanks guys! It has been a fun project. This is the absolute last Camaro I will ever do.
I went with an AEM CD7 dash. It will plug right into the Holley harness via can/bus. It has data aq and track mapping, etc https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...LmBn8Cg-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...mPpVbZk-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...TK3gGF2-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...5qd3k7M-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...3zGXXhC-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...mGR24ps-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...hpSNjLh-XL.jpg |

Good stuff. Andrew |
Does that mean you're going to build a Trans Am next? No? What about a 66/67 Chevelle? Those are cool!

Nothing as cool as a Miata. lol Next car, if ever, will be a big cruiser. 1960 Caddy on air ride for a daily driver would be the ticket.

GForce is not far from Charlotte and I got the name of a guy there that does about 85% of the rears for the Trans Am guys and gal. He told me they use the Aluminum Strange unit and the vast majority use a Detroit tru trac. That was surprising to me, but they are not breaking them. Same guy set up my center section, but I am using a Winters wedge loc.

This thing gets faster every day! :bigun2:

Shame to put that chunk inside a housing! Beautious!

I'm digging your rear end :headspin:
Thift Shop Camaro hahahaha!!! I don't know how I missed this build..... but it is my new favorite! Soooooo sick. I'm all about repurpose!!! Not sure if it has been asked.... but do you have a target weight wet with fluids (less driver?)? |
White dog in a black truck...she loves to go riding.
We are thinking 2800-2850 with me in it and I weigh 205 lbs. It is all a guess until you put it on the scales. |
My guy knows a guy that works for one of the NASCAR teams. He made the rotor adapters for the 14 inch StopTech rotors

It just keeps getting better. Where’s the safety wire on the brake bolts?
|
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...7M735kG-XL.jpg
Looks like an assembly off of an 18 wheeler! But maybe a little smaller & lighter. Very cool. |
Everything is looking amazing.
What’s the brand on the black aluminum column mount/hanger? Looks somewhat like a new style Woodward one, but black, and better looking... |
Wow !

No safety wire at this time. Will use green thread lock.
No idea on steering column mount. Got it from a used NASCAR re-seller. Here they are on the car https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...brJFRkM-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...7LZkL63-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...52dR9nX-XL.jpg While we are at the back of the car, here is the battery mount and rear end cooler https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...dSd2RRg-XL.jpg |
Leave it to Jim, 1/2" brake mount machined to perfection. OK I see the battery to charge your cell phone, where is the one to start the car?

Small updates as the car is almost complete. Waiting on motor to go into car to fab up the air box

What a monster! Looking forward to seeing it outside and making laps.
:flag2::thumbsup: |
The beast gets closer.... :secret:
|
Awesome, Payton! Is it off the body and paint next?
|

Bahahaha........... oh wait did I giggle out loud? |
Cant wait to see that thing in person! Coming to a shop near me next?
|
Yea Mills, not sure how soon as it has been slow going on the motor
No paint and body, frame and back of the car will be powder coated and then it will get wrapped. |
That's a great idea, Payton. There's a number of cars here in Atlanta that are wrapped and they look great.
|
Nice
Payton it looks great, I love it!
