Well, here is the deal. (1) Just about every 69 Camaro needs quarters and rear filler. (2) We are running a full wheel tub so the outer and inner wheelhouses will all be replaced (3) We are building a notched firewall for engine set back so firewal was un important (4) Very important, we planned to put a full front and rear floor in raised 1 1/2", this is a very important part of the plan, so why ruin a good floor car. . (5) We want to extend the rockers 1" to give it a even lower look. (6), We have a body jig, so this is easy. (7) and most important, we are showing anything can be fixed Now if you look closely, the rockers are not horrible however we did do inner rocker and will extend the outers. So we did not want to pay for good rockers. The floor was horrible, easier to remove, all new raised floor is in. Almost every car we do gets quarters, and these were less to trim. The inner struture needed some patches after sandblasting but Michael and I did all the inner structure patch work in a hard weekend. See, the sheetmetal is routine for us, we have a jig, so it goes pretty fast. No sense buying a car with good floors (did that) when they are getting cut out anyway. Might as well limit our up front cost. |
Remember we wanted a car that needed floors.
First objective acheived!!! :lol: |
Great save,Frank, :thumbsup: when are we gonna see the build pics?

This won't be out first miracle. We love saving these things. Love the rags to Riches story on these cars. And it is a great way to show what we can do. makes a great conversation piece!

Frank:
I'm very proud for you. It take a big set of Balls for setting the bar that high. My hat is off for you two. A couple of questions I have: Will you be running the Wheelie Bars while your blowing people off the Auto Cross, and Road tracks? Will what we see in the picture look exactly like your car when you: A) Finish? B) Run each of the events? (Auto X, Road Race, Drag Race) So what we see is what you will be running? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, I am very curious, and I think your rendering is Terrific! I look forward to watching and hearing how it comes together. I'd wish you luck, but I don't think you will need it. You have always put out fine cars. Thanks for sharing this build, and yes, I will be taking another magazine in the near future. Ty O'Neal BTW: When will the ABS Kit be available? 1) This is something you should make available to all of us as soon as possible to help finance your build. 2) It's for the Children ;-) Seriously, I would be interested, and if I would need certain products, I don't want to have to buy anything twice to put you system on my car. Take care, Ty |
Love bringing them back from the dead Frank! Why take the easy way out...:D
|
It looks like the only thing that wasn't rusty was the title. Looking forward to seeing how our idea works out on the rear......

I saw this soon to be monster first hand in January and had to keep it under wraps til now. If anyone can pull this thing off, it's Frank and company. Let me know Frank when you're coming up to Wegner for dyno time.
