Shop cars. Must see more!

Matt came by the shop a few weeks ago & decided that he wanted to add a few things to the Camaro.. Vintage Air, firewall to sub-frame bars, JCG A/C firewall plate.. Right now we are working on building custom oil can that will tie into the valve covers... Also got the approval to give the engine compartment some nice detail...

68 Orange Camaro

Here is another build we are working on.. This Camaro came in from AZ & the owner has owned it since he was 16.. now in his 40's... LS Conversion & some suspension upgrades..

I called Gus @ Cleveland Pick A Part & got me a L76/6L80 out of a G8.. Motor is going over to QMP to get stroked this week.. 402!!

This takes me back! I had a orange truck with black turbo mirrors in the late 80's....:yes:
Will you be painting the car?

Cris,

I really like what you did with Marys car, and the plan for Matts sounds pretty cool too. The firewall AC plate on Matts car is a nice piece, is it available to the masses at this point or just a one off part for his car?

Nice project. Interested to see what kind of tunnel mods are necessary to fit that 6L80. Those things seem huge.

I'm curious about your firewall to subframe bars that you are adding to this car. It doesn't appear that there is a cage in this car, am I correct? If so, do the bars literally just tie into the firewall? Is there enough support in the metal of the firewall to make the bars worthwhile?

The firewall in these cars is just sheet metal with no real support behind it as I recall. So I'm wondering how much actual benefit these bars would be in preventing subframe flex...

I recall seeing somewhere that you make the round adapters that go in the firewall. If so, do you sell those as well? Depending on the answers to the above, I might consider a set for my car, but I won't have a cage to attach to behind the dash...

Thanx!
