What is the most radical 69 camaro, EVER?
 

I'm working on putting togther a project 69 camaro with Typical Ironworks stuff, tube chassis and all that blah blah blah. But do you guys have any pics of the most radical 69 you have every seen, as in stance with or with out air bags, prefer air bags, because we plan to have a very aggresive static ride height. I'm looking for something along the lines of the G-Force cuda or the the Brunning Cuda but in a 69 Camaro. I'm also thinking of trying to wedge section the car and just to line the rocker up with front fender extensions. We plan just buy all the exterior panels and align everything up from there. We are not going to cut up a stocker.

Could some body give me tell me how much higher the front fender extensions are above therocker on the camro if the rocker was parrell to the ground. I'm sure somebody has a 69 camaro on this site.

Thanks

Rodger

Well let me post few I have been looking at. I was unable to get any pics of Orion off the lateral-g homepage. I know there was a Morrison chassis that some guy overseas was putting under a 69 but I can not find it for the life of me.

another

Thats three of my favorites also Killers is just BADA@$ ORION is a work of art Feslers is awsome !

I think I remember
 

hearing or reading where the front fenders on Big Red were done like you were talking about. The nose was dropped for aero purposes. That car is suppose to be really low at the nose.

I will have to measure when I get home, but I think the fender extension makes up the difference to line it up to the bottom of the rocker...8 to 10 inches

I'm just looking for the car the either has a custom chassis to achieve a lower then usual ride height. Feslers camaro sits really low in the front, Orion has a wicked stance. Most all these cars are limited by the sub frame.

Well thank you for that one!!! we feel the love :unibrow:

i know with our sub frame Not that that is what your asking) and air ride with 18x10 285 tire the cross member sits 3/4" off ground,

and the limiting factor seems to be the inner fenders and that is easy to fix.

The white and black camaro's in this thread https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...ght=wheel+base with altered wheel base.

I think the car that Rodger is talking about is from Australia its black with 19" on it and a full Art M. frame

Oh Hell yes.

A carbon fiber.. massive alterations bad boy. and it does exist. Jason you wanna chime in here?

http://www.jasonrushforth.com/images...ack_green.html

Now what are you up to?.....If you can't find one of them here...........:lol:

Or you can tell us what you already know.

I know I should have called the only guy that always has a camaro and a tri-5 in their shop.

I have a new idea rolling around in my my head from a client that got me all worked up on a 69 camaro idea and then disappeared. Plus the Truck project is almost done. So I might as well start on a 4" ride height 69 camaro with a minor wedge section and stuff all the spare parts we have laying around. And I have a brand new muscle car magazine interested in coving the whole build since no one ever wanted to do a tech article series on Johns Nova and I now know how the system work I might as well run with it.

I was just getting ready to post a photo of that car customcam. Thanks for saving me the trouble. Most radical as to be Razor. Lowest....hard to beat that black car custom cam posted.

Guess what's in the next batch to get worked on.......Two 69 Camaro's.At least the guys at RS PERF are bringing in a Chevelle.

That is one of the bad boys I knew I had seen. That sucker has some big ass wheels for sure. And it is airbagged......HHHMMMM

Is Orion air bagged? It sure looks good.

Rodger

Spiro's car probably could be thrown in this mix, it's a real Camaro...

Kevin I saw that car run at the Super Streetcar nationals. It ran like a 6.70 I think. It might have been the other single turbo car, but they are both very nice.

Rodger

there is a 68 camaro with 4" of ride height

stuffing a 295 45 20 on the rear.

so is your plan a little tire car or ....

give me some details.

69 camaro due to the fact they look better super low due to the fender opening shape. 4" ride hight to rocker with no pinch weld, not the subframe or front crossmember. Probably 18's and 19's with the widest possible front and 345 rears with some modified corvette C6 suspension. I'm not going to let all the cats of the bag, but I'm just looking for inspiration other guys might have saved on their hard drives. If you can not tell by the project we build I like to build cars that sit lower then a laid out air bag car ever could with medium sized wheels. I have been thinking for weeks about this car and cannot think that I have ever seen a 69 Camaro of all years ever built to l this level. That is why I opened this up to my fellow car addicts.

So where is this 68 you talk about. Tylers 50/50 will be 4" with the body kit he has to install.

pic of the 69 I'm working sent ( please keep it private )

if you look close you can see it in the background

We built a camaro a few years ago that had a lot of work put into it. I know alot of people didn't care for it but it had alot of work placed in it. Full tube chassis, viper suspension, can-am'd quarters, custom interior, etc... It sold at Barrett-Jackson for $486,000 to Ron Pratt. It won the GM design award at SEMA... I just wish they had showed it more before the sale....

Hey Rodger,

Our 69 is all hand built like what you want to do, we used a Wayne front end and rebuilt the complete thing to get the cross member 1/2 inch off the ground and lowered the body over the frame, we rebuilt the complete back all by hand and the 3-inch exhaust allows the car to sit 1/2 inch off the ground and still drive.

Cant do full turns but I can drop it right to the ground while driving. I set out to build the lowest functional Camaro out at the time and think we achieved most of that. We also have a 345/35ZR19 on the rear and a 275/30ZR19 on the front so super wide wheels and we can do full turns.

I can send you some detail shots if you want or you can check out the post as we are finishing up the car now. Its getting ready to go into paint.

Chris,Is it the vert on the table?.That is bad a$$

Absolutely nowhere near the amazing builds that many have already posted, you guys build some killer cars :bow:, but mine might be of interest.

It's not a low budget car, but th list of customisation that I could do on it (over and above what is being done) is still signiicant.

It's a 68 Camaro.

AME front clip. Coilovers all round
Minitubbed with 325x50x17's on rear
245x45x17 on front

I also wanted a 4" ride height and that is what has been achieved. No wedge

To achieve this, custom 4 link rear end, and on the AME front we increased to top of the coilover mounting point by 1.5" to give 2.5" of travel.

I would have loved to channel it and get it even lower, but I have to set a budget that is realistic and I had other mods that were more important to me.

As said maybe not quite what you are thinking, but it is in Australia and is running an AME front clip, not sure if this is what you may have been referring to earlier. Car still 10-12 months off completion.

My major customisations are all internal (massive dash, console and hood lining changes)

I think the car was built by Scott Whidby. It is a bad a$$ car for sure. I also like Orion and the others posted here. Sounds like a very cool project!!

One of the photos that got my flood flowing for my build. If I remember right they are 22/20. Not my style but a killer car.

No,Orion is not bagged and thanks for the complement.

It looks like a toy in that pic. Nicely built car!!

Pretty much the car I'm looking to build will be functional at the 4 " height so it will have to me a full frame car.

thanks for the input you guys gave me some great ideas. Now let me pitch the idea and see what I can do......

Broscoe's 69 is the wildest camaro I have ever seen. Full frame chassis, custom 3 link and CAR's front end, plus a ton of other stuff. I may have a photo somewhere, if not Kevin will.

Rodger, I think this is one of the cars you were thinking of:

http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14204

Username was Hiwayman, he was putting a MaxG full frame under a '69.

Yeah that car is more complex than a lot of people realize I think.

Is that a 572 badge I spy on the front fender?!!?
NICE CAR!:wow:

The most radical has to be Big Red. A race car with a liscense plate. That said, I can think of a dozen other cars that are way nicer and way more streetable that run a close second. many of which are on this site.
