Question, does the lack of an X code denote a COPO. How so? (forgive my lack of knowledge)

Ron

No it does not, I was talking to a customer about a COPO we were doing and put that in here by mistake. This car is a base 1969 Chevy Camaro with no X-Code meaning the early camaro's did not have the X-code late ones do. The X-code is the body tag stating what the car came with from the factory and the early cars did not have this meaning you can turn that car into whatever you want to with the correct parts.

Radiator & Radiator Support

Here is the new Air Mobile large core billet alluminum radiator for a big Block Chevy Camaro and I will have these in stock and ready to ship if someone out there needs one.

I can send you the radiator and support ready to be installed or you can modify your stock one to fit the radiator and install yourself.

Thanks Fesler... I had decoded mine a while ago X44 (base car) with a V8 (3rd position of the VIN).

I used http://www.chevy-camaro.com/chevy-ca...ecode-1969.asp and I hadn't noticed the early 69s had no trim (X) code... thanks...again, awesome build with the "King of all Rats".... Ron

Tubs anyone

Here are the tubs we built for the new 19X12.5 wheels in the rear, we figure its better to build them to the car then it is to buy them, you get a much better fit and look when completed.


here we start by taking a flat sheet of 18gauge steem and rolling it to fit the inner fender, this will get cut perfect and welded with a clean edge so you cant tell where they start and end.

The cardboard template really cuts down on the cut and re cut time

this is half done now and will post more to show you the rest of what we did to get these this big.

Low Stance

now you have an idea of how low this car will sit, notice that its sitting on a set of wheel dollies so it will sit a lot lower

Check out the new black Fesler Billet hood hinge and yes they are shipping if you are looking for some.

572 anyone

Here is the massive 572 GM Crate engine going into the car for final fitment before paint, we have to do a little mods to the fire wall so it will fit the dist with no rubbing problems

with the 4L80E tranny it huge overall and fits perfect well not perfect we have to do some more work to the firewall to fit it just right and I will post those tomorrow we are doing that right now.
