Troy it looks awesome !

thanks for posting Pictures

This project is almost too good for Marty!


--Eric

Nice I like it..

Man what a friggin rust bucket! Troy you should just worry about that 69 in front of Marty's car!! It's way cooler:D

Oh yeah -- this will soon be triple the cost of a little truck!

:rofl: :rofl:

Not bad for a bolt- together Camaro but I doubt it will even scratch the surface of what that little mini-truck cost

I am pretty sure Pete is busting his butt on that 69 chev eee

And yes it's way cooler.

Plus have you seen the brakes going on that beast ?!!!!!!

Lol that Eric. Good news it's going to be my daughters when she is 16. The good news is we have 4 1/2 years to finish it

Thanks Wayne

Very cool build! Will you be bringing out to any shows? I'd love to talk to you about it over a beer!:cheers:

John

2nd Chance Camaro - Ride Tech Coil Over Rear Suspension Part I

2012 04-15 Update - Ride Tech Coil Over Rear Suspension Part I
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning all,

For the rear suspension I upgraded to the Ride-Tech Coil Over set up. However we've added a few new
parts that Ride-Tech offers. First is there offset lower link bar and offset spring mount which gives you an
extra 3/4" of tire room. There will be plenty of room to fit the BFG 295 (12.5" wide) and most 315's.

There new Coil overs - what else do I need to say.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6dd5715-me.jpg

Very Simple Install.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...821bf02-me.jpg

Okay Plan B
Yes I am changing things just a little. I am going to remove the factory spring perch and install Ride Tech's
new weld on lower bracket. I think they are going to clean up the area. The plan is to move the arm over
another 1/2 which will allow me to fit the BFG 335. It will also allow me to fit the Michelin 345 which is an 1"
narrower then the BFG 335.

Before I bring the car to High Speed Welding I am going to cut off the spring perch's off the axle.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0d869bc-me.jpg

In order to get it back to High Speed Welding I used some of my extra parts. This cool little part came from
DSE. Originally I was going to keep the leaf springs but since they wouldn't sell me the front spring pocket
parts I needed that idea was soon scrapped. I made a quick call to Ride-Tech and purchased there
complete rear kit. So if anyone needs these brackets there just sitting on a shelf at my shop.

Priced to sell cheap !!!

2nd Chance Camaro - Ride Tech Coil Over Rear Suspension Part II

Here is what the bracket looks like when it is removed.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4a82933-me.jpg

I need to thank a couple people here.

Mario from US Collision for letting me borrow his 345 Michelin tire and Chris at JCG Customs www.jcgcustoms.com for letting me borrow his 3 finger wheel tool. The 345 fit perfectly after this very simple modification.

The new Ride Tech lower bracket installed. Much cleaner look and no more ugly u-bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d2a70ab-me.jpg

Joe has also been working on the Edelbrock modified exhaust. He made a couple modifications to the floor pan to get the exhaust above the site line under the car. I am very happy with the progress of the exhaust so far.

All done and ready to roll.

Marty,

Simple is good!

Sorry for asking if you've already posted this, but what are you using for lateral control (panhard bar, watts, etc.)?


--Eric

It's a Diagonal 4 Bar so no need for an addtional bar.

Thanks for the quick answer....... I saw the mounts on the rear end right after I sent you the question.


--Eric

Its looking great Marty. Ridetech makes some nice suspension parts.

Finished up all the gapping and some rust repair on Martys camaro.

-troy

Thanks for the Update Troy.

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the ultra-fast turn around. You guys do great work and I am happy that I brought my car to you. I am certain we will be doing more cars in the future together.

Looking great! :thumbsup:

Car looks fantastic Marty! You sorta glanced over the 'small' mod to get the 345s to fit?

Looks great my friend!

LOL - yep i glanced right over that.

Here is my thought. I love the look of the 335 and 345 on the back of a Car. However when you see a 1st or 2nd gen at at show and see the big tire on the back of a Camaro the first thing you think is yep another DSE car. I'm not good at being the same as other guys plus I want to drive this car and to the trail head with my bike and not worry about anything.

With th 295's on the back it looks very clean. Kinda like when you see a BMW M3 the first thing you say is wow that looks nice. Why because it's balanced nothing is overstated. I am hoping that BFG offers a 315 in the future because that would be my tire of choice since I am running a 255 on the front.

I like the 255/295 combo! :yes:

Marty,
Looks great, you must be getting wipped out driving back and forth from Hi-Speed down to BBT.:unibrow:
Let me know next time your going down I'm up for a ride.

Mike

The car looks great with the front spoiler and rocker fairings. They did a beautiful job on the gaps. As always awesome job!

Trust me it's good to have it back in the garage. It's so much easier to walk the 26 feet from the house then to drive the 2 1/2 hours to Troy's.

Thanks Wayne I / we really appreciate the compliments.

nice progress
 

Marty

looking good brother

you could have had the :D Scott Mock look going on . 315/ 335 combo :lol:

Car looks great.. BBT did some real nice work for you..
keep the updates coming..

Tom
