Sorry, not really a mystery. I build jet boats for a living, even put an LS, LQ, LM in a few. I use the fab skills I see here to inspire some of my builds.

Big fan of Camaro's, ever since my Uncle rolled up in a 1978 Gen II when I was a kid. Of course I thought it was a Trans Am (Knight Rider and Smokey and the Bandit were on TV in that era), which my uncle quickly corrected.

Enough hi-jacking, I read the post and couldn't resist the reply.
Post some pictures of your work on here some where. I gave been thinking about building a crazy jet boat myself

The progress has continued on the 67 Camaro at a pretty fast pace.

We have everything mounted under the dash. The Large Lt4 ECU, the EPS controller, the Raingear wiper system, the Vintage Air Gen4 unit, the Tilton pedal assembly with Throttle pedal and the EPS equipped steering Column. We had to recess the firewall in the middle to allow access to some connection on the back side of the engine and not have to move the engine forward. Things are very tight under the hood and under the dash.

The engine compartment is also pretty tight. The large wheel tubs pretty much kill any room around the wheels with the 19x11 Forgeline wheels. We also made an intercooler tank shaped to the curve of the inner fender to increase capacity as much as possible. The shocks on the Ring brother hood hinges needed to be relocated to the firewall down bars as they no longer cleared the wheel tubs.

We modified the under structure of the hood for the vents and the aero latches.

We also installed the Speedtech torque arm mount into the unibody of the car. We had to remove the seat spot welds and set the outside of the top of the floor to attach to the subframe connectors under the floor. Works out pretty slick.

We are just about ready to start body work on the car and get ready put this monster together for some summer time cruising.

That is taking shape really well, excellent workmanship and your planning is obvious. Well done. What EPS unit are you using?

Moving right along, great build! The smaller details are awesome like the gas filler and the rear spoiler, good stuff.

Thanks guys. We are trying to make a white Camaro stand out when complete. We really don't do too many renderings as reality is different then a sketch on paper. We strive to keep working on the issues that bug us until it just looks right.

I can not wait to see what you guys do for paint, I love white but agree it is hard to make it stand out.

Nailed it Rodg...!

waynieZ 04-23-2016 07:22 AM
So Sweet!

Blackened 04-23-2016 10:47 AM
That car is beautiful just that way it looks. I would just put clear coat over it as it is now.

RPitts 04-24-2016 08:22 AM

There are alot of new cars that are white so its pretty easy to do with ideas and direction from modern cars.

Thanks guys. The car is turning out pretty nice. I have a few more design details to address and I think I will be happy.

Wow! Work looks amazing. Love the exhaust

suark 04-30-2016 05:18 PM
I love the spoiler, the more I look at it, the more I want it! Great build!

Jerems 05-08-2016 10:16 AM
What are your plans for the fuel system on the low pressure side? What pump will you use and will you be running the return-less PWM setup that's stock in the corvette? 72 PSI at 45 GPH from what the LT4 spec sheet says.

Love the build so far.

payne 07-09-2016 05:14 PM
What steering rack are you using? It's not hydraulically boosted, correct? What are the lines running around the rack?

Thanks,
Jason

Subscribed! This build looks really good!

You will find a ton of pics on our website. I just try to keep that updated every month.

Trackman 05-21-2017 09:17 AM
Did you update the supercharger or are the new crate motors coming with the new lid design?

Dr. Jekyll 05-21-2017 09:32 PM
Did you ever produce the spoiler in carbon fiber?
