Glad to hear that Wayne,

Awesome build we have here.After seeing stuff this nice I might have to build another 69 again.

After looking through this 2 things.

Good work... and I think I figured out my exhaust hanger issue! :D

I built a 64 Chevelle because every one had or was building a 69 Camaro. Always liked chevelles and still do. I than came across lateral g. In no time I knew I had to build a 69 Camaro.
You can not go wrong , build another one or two :thumbsup:


Thanks and if your going to run the hangers as I did. You will need something to clamp or hold grommet together. Or you can just weld a tab to your exhaust another to body , sandwich the grommet and hold everything together with a 3/8" bolt.

little progress better than none at all. so my bumper is 99% done

They look great. I even like the mini-truck grinder marks.

Nice work. did you strip all of the chrome or just finish the surface?

Frank the cars looking great keep the updates coming....

Thanks

I actually made these from 1/4" steel and just cleaned up with angle grinder

Thanks Mario.
I've been keeping up with your build. Definetly an inspiration !:trophy-1302:

Nice job frank

sorry, I meant from the bumpers.

:headscratch: well dahhh, was not thinking over here. No I did not stripped it , I ground most of it of with angle grinder

no updates but have a new project.
so figured i would hijack my own thread
had this on open discussion but it probably fits here a bit better

by the way HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL !!!

That is going to be very cool & I love the red truck in the background

Tganks Marty
Should be getting it done soon. The truck is my daily driver 4.8 w Maggie ,t56, it's fun. How's the new project coming along ?

I have always loved that body style and if I didn't have kids I would own one for sure.

The Camaro is coming along great. Now we are tweaking it because it looks like it's going to Sema so we are doing things that weren't in the original plan.

done with my boys project. more work than anticipated and I will still be making a HURST shifter pull handle. the bat is just temporary also working or rear defuser not final http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps252c74be.jpg
getting back to 69 , hoping to put in a few weeks worth of work.
working on mirrors had two pairs. yellow ones have a smaller mirror housing and mirror sits flush to it which i like but had taller mounting stems than others as you can see. will be using the shorter one to get mirrors tucked in as close as possible.
http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps72ff093d.jpg
in order to swap base / stem. remote had to be cut and that just opened a can of warms. everything just fell apart as it held on by the tension on the remote. in order to make it manual swivel type for driver side.I hacked up a passenger side mirror to use it's swivel but being that it was a passenger side made it difficult. after a few hours of trial and error and some fine tuning it got done. very happy with solid and crisp the mirror motion.

reinforced E brake. my first one was collapsing the floor.http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps04fcf8a5.jpg
also working on dashboard design , made these AC vents , planning to run four. two on top center and one per side at mid way. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9e26294d.jpgwill also begin work on cluster panel just waiting on some gauges.
got a few other items done like pedals and EXHAUST.

That looks very cool

thanks marty
love what your doing with Second Chance. you will probably be at stage 4 before i'm near done with mine.

incredible work..... wow i love your ebrake setup and tackling the accessory drives with the dse subframe. Great great work

Hey Frank! Love how you're carrying the indented rings theme through the console and vents :thumbsup:

You've got style Bro.

Thanks for the props , Gotten a lot Ideas from other great builds here @ Lateral g


Can't take credit for that one Ron. Stole it from Audi.

Frank, that looks killer---love those vents. Car is going to be freaking awesome. Maybe I missed it---do you have a dyno sheet for the motor?

D

great work Frank,very good ideas

got some progress done.

made a gauge panel from scratch almost exact as stock because i like the look of original (the way it curves and kind of hugs driver )the curve was key and the most difficult part to get right. needed to be metal so I can weld AC vents plus some other "little plans i have for it".
just got Classic Instruments Autocross Gauges ( YELLOW ONES ), Restomod Air unit, Radiator coming by way of ENTROPY radiator w built in oil cooler. Engine harness is next on list.

back to dash I'm also changing dash pad completely ( stock is just so crappy ) so I got to building the base / structure for it, to incorporate the upper AC vents into it and getting rid of flat vertical portion on passenger side. new pad will follow the curve of the actual dashboard structure so the ac vents will pop out a bit more.
this upper portion is a separate piece that will get foam and then leather. so this piece below comes off less the AC vent housing those are welded to dashboard.
http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps89a0d55c.jpg
this is not even halfway done and been at it for a week ( just want a very tight fit ) NICE SURPRICE COMING ON for this clusterhttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps87356fc3.jpg
this is the passenger portion mentioned http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps452f1234.jpghttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psf087876d.jpghttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psdfddaabd.jpg
made cluster panel to fit OEM dash pad just incase I didn't like the new design,but no going back. i'm feeling the new look.
Restomod air is one nice unit. a friend of mine brought one over by another manufacturer and its no comparison built him his bracket and sent him on his wayhttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps09d7c060.jpg

Very nice fab work Frank,I really like what you are doing with the dash:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Mad skills Bro! Keep going :cheers:

Thanks Jeff. trying to make my own ( unique ) without crossing the line and sacrificing the integrity of the car. It's a balancing act.
Your car pretty much done. " very nice work "

Thanks ron , just having some fun. Did you ake it go GNR?

I did yesterday Frank. My bad, shoulda called you!

Great build thread. Keep it up!!

Wow, it's looks like you are really on your game... :welder: :weld: I may have missed it, but have you decided on a paint scheme? :thumbsup:

Frank, awesome build thread. The dash details and center console design are way cool. Keep it up! :bow: :bow:

The pics of the bumper and front end are excellent. Love the up close of the reliefs cut into the bumper radius for fittment.

Your two year olds "hot rod" build is sweet. Need to get one of those done for my niece and nephew.

Look forward to your next round of updates.

TX
no paint scheme yet, going to run a flat color/primer for a while to get all the bugs and " i wish would have done that " out of the way.
thanks for the all the complements. just like everyone here, I enjoy working and building anything.

if you have the time. you should, they will enjoy it as much as you. posting a few pictures of another pedal car turned pull wagon / hot rod I built for him.he named it McQueen.http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5f9b528e.jpghttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...psd91ee191.jpghttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5d12eb02.jpg[URL=http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/frankv11/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo3_zps1f93cc38.jpg.html]http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1f93cc38.jpg[/URLhttp://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8433066a.jpg
