New Life
 

I've had this car since 84' & this the third build. It was a
completly rust free car when I got it. The car has an LS7, ATS headers,
ATS pan, Peterson oil tank kit from ATS & ATS Sidewinder, UMI TB
and MEFI4 controller & harness. Ron Davis radiator, Ricks stainless tank.


I replaced the whole electrical system with painless 18 curcuit.
Vintage air AC

I used DSE control arms, coils & sway bar with ATS's AFX spindles,
670 steering gear. C5 brakes, Hydroboost.

Out back will be DSE Quadralink with a narrowed 9" and deep tubs.
ATS splined sway bar. It should be in soon.

Looks good !
Who's accessory drive system are you using ?
ps... nice garage !

Peter the car looks awesome!

Where are you located?

Very nice looking project, should be an awesome car (again) when this version is finished. :thumbsup: Good luck.

That is an ATS Sidewinder setup; ultra stable even at high RPMs. Simply the best out there.

Very nice project! You will love it even more than before!! Are you doing SFC's?

Thanks for the great replies!

Accessory drive is ATS Sidewinder as reboot stated.

Subframe connectors are DSE and are going in with Quadralink.
They are a must.

Thanks so much to Tyler at ATS for tech advise and service cubed.
The car has alot of his products all bad ass!

Hello Peter;

NICE work you've done on that Camaro. No shortcuts there. :thumbsup:

Question: the black anodized AN fittings and black braided hose - what brand? (looks like they were running to a remote oil filter?)

Reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to find a brand of plumbing that has matching colors for power steering fittings/hoses as well as the rest of the plumbing. So far - no luck at all.

Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work. Be sure to post pics when it's done - and no longer afflicting you - lol.

Dale-

We provided the hose and fittings- they are all from Earls.

Car looks good Pete. Get back home and get wrenching on it before it is 117 degrees outside.

Tyler

I think he in Arizona, the car look nice. :thumbsup:

Cool, more pics please. :yes:

Very Nice.

More cool $#!t
 

I just got my DSE Quadralink stuff & narrowed 9" brackets on, all powder
coated, aluminum center 3.70 gears. Tubs are here too!
It's time to get a wheel & tire order together. I'm having a local shop do the install as I want it done better than I could do it. They do high end vintage racecar restorations and will do a great job!

Progress pics
 

A few new pics of exhaust to be used and one large wheel to test fit after
the Quadralink install. The mufflers are Corsa and the X-pipe is fabbed.

Peter

The tubs are not in so the wheel just on full width axle to see it.
I've been really busy of late and its really hot here these days so
I'm not getting much done. I should have A/C'ed the garage!

Peter

Looks like some great progress. I dig those wheels! :thumbsup:

Looks sweet Black car with those wheels car looks great

That's going to be a sweet car when done.:thumbsup:
Wheels look good on that car. And good choice with the LS7.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Got any videos of her idling/reving?

Wheels....
 

Awesome choice on wheels! They look great on your car.

Rear suspension
 

Here is an update of my car progress.

Install of Quadralink suspension, DSE tubs, DSE subframe connectors

all fully TIG welded.

Peter

Awesome work and car.

Very nice work, How much more work do you have left?

Killer fabrication work! :thumbsup:

Not much you can say bad about that setup.

Excellent workmanship :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :cheers: :woot: :lateral:
rick k

Quality!! :woot:

Killer car. It looks like paint is all done? Were you nervous about cutting and adding the tubs in?

Can't wait to see it done.
Looks awesome already.:hail: :thumbsup:

SWEET HRE's, do you have stock front spindles?

Still more work ahead!!!!
 

Thanks for all the possitive feedback.
I hope to have the car done this winter. After checking the fitment I
will order wheels & tires this week. The wheel in earlier post is just to
test fit.

It has been great fun to build but I'm ready to drive! I've had this thing
since 84' & its been on the back burner since 93'. Now four years to get it where it is today.

I thought they where Fikse Wheels

You are correct, I had to take a double look

Man, TIG welding the entire rear was painstaking!

What a chore.

Is there a reason you decided to TIG vs MIG? Just curious on your theory.

Oh, Killer car!

Vent windows forever :thumbsup:

Tom, yes we had to support the car very well. The car was on a level steel
work platform then braced firm. This is all very important as we cut across
the whole trunk. Not a place to shortcut if you want the car true. We also
put the SFC in so this support helped that come out good.

The car has ATS spindles, as for the welds being TIG Rich there is no real
reason. The work was indeed tedeous, Ryan deserves huge credit for alot of
great welding in awkward positions. It took alot of time & massive amounts
of material.

Peter

How about some updated pics!

:unibrow:

Hey Curtis, I saw you have to sell your car to bad that sucks! It is a good excuse
to build another in the future.

The pics of the tub & Quadralink install are the most recent. They are also
fabbing my intake tube & exhaust system out of pieces I brought them.
It will be ATS headers to 3", 3" fabbed X-pipe (earlier post pic) 3" back to a
set of 2.5 Corsa mufflers then full tail pipes.

Yeah it has to go. Might be doing the Fly Dubai gig for awhile, we'll see.

Looks like I might need to jump seat down and have a look at your project one of these days soon. Always fun to watch them coming together.

More progress pics
 

Looks great!! Nice car!! :thumbsup:

More pics
 

SS exhaust, oil tank brackets, intake tube.

Next I will Paint the bare metal and seam seal all the welds & gaps.
