icemanrd19 67 camaro

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0...05&oe=5953B3F6

Well about 3 or 4 months ago i bought a 1967 Camaro from a guy in fort worth. Well Replacing a few nuts and bolts led me to ripping alot of the car apart. Currently the car is sitting apart and im trying to figure out what direction i want to take it.

I need some help with the steps of fixing this car up the way i want it. I stopped last month bc i felt like i was probably going to do things to the car that i would end up having to take back off so in essence wasting my time.

Nice Car:thumbsup:
My opinion is to keep it driving. I would start with the mini tubs, and rear suspension (my choice is DSE) Then put back on the road. Keep upgrading it as you go.
My personal experience is that my car has been in the shop stripped right down, I am not able to drive it because I cannot afford to do everything I want to do all at once.
Just my .02

well in order for me to drive it again i need to rewire the entire car. I dont feel like ripping all the wiring out and doing it all over again. Thats my dilemma. Plus i need to smooth the firewall out and in order to do that ill probably have to pull the motor.

[QUOTE=randy;334398]THis is exactly how i want my 67 Then you should have bought a 69:lol: Sorry but I had to, after u posted the photo of a 69. Youll be in good hands around here and many will give you helpful advise.:thumbsup:

Can i get some opinions about the G link setup with mini tubs? I understand dse is suppose to be the best but how does it compare to G link and price wise?

cool project!

there are lots of options for suspension and subframes out there. I've learned so much from the Lat-G gang.

I am a big fan of DSE, Art Morrison and I really like dealing with the Speedtech boys.

enjoy the process:D

what should i expect to pay for a quality 4 link and rear end setup? Should i go with the 12 bolt gm or 9" ford? why one over the other? sorry im a newb when it comes to this type of stuff

Also ordered my ls2 with 6 speed transmission as well as all of this

leaning towards House of Kolor Kandy tangerine. Anyone have any experience with HOK paint? quality wise

Well this is what i have so far and my decisions. im sure im missing something

Taillights ive decided to go with
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...tintedtail.jpg

Headlights with the chrome ring. I will be painted the lower rs lights black too
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...9/DSC06301.jpg

color my car will be painted. I will also have 20% window tint and the vertical window trim will be blacked out so only the outer chrome drip rail, front and rear window trim will be chrome
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...rld19/humm.jpg

lower valance spoiler will be color matched too
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...arofront-1.jpg

Good progress. :thumbsup:

It's your car, but a painted to match front spoiler never looks good.

i started to think about this. with the texture and the likely chance of scraping it off the road i decided to leave it black. Thank you

Hey randy, it looks like its coming along nicely. Shoot me a PM, still curious what Rods Car Craft is charging ya. Thanks!

Did you get my PM? Its $50 per hr. Rodney is great to work with. If you run out of money he will hold on to the car for you as long as you like. The work is by far the best ive seen too. O and he cooks some good nascar fries on sat night lol. Where do you live exactlY? I would love to check out your car

Car is sitting on the ground now. Only sheet metal left is the roof. DSE quadralink is installed. Really debating about what to do to the front end. My subframe needs some work and i really dont have 7k to blow on a dse front end right now. This project added up quick lol

Time to buy some new parts to move on. What is the best narrowed fuel tank for my ls2 setup and why?

Im also looking for billet tails and a billet gas cap and hopefully i can buy it all in the same place.

Excellent progress man. Have you considered DSE narrowed tank. Also most of the guys here in lateral-g install Ricks tank.

dse is $1150. My builder said he had some problems before with the ricks tanks.

I want this tucked look. Is this possible with the stock front subframe? Can it be done with 18" rims all the way around or do i need to go 19s or 20s?

Man i really need to update this. Tuesday ill post some latest pictures of it. Car is pretty much ready for paint. Im just trying to make sure its done right the first time around. Man this cost alot more money than i thought but the cars sheet metal and body will be perfect.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...sesubframe.jpg

Sorry guys i havent been on in a long time. Body wise the car is ready to go. Just needs paint. I just ordered this subframe yesterday. unfortunately this took a huge chuck of change and progress will be going much slower now. Not to mention my wife told me 3 weeks ago we are expecting out first child.

another thing i just bought was my tank http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...orWorxTank.jpg

new camaro fuel pump, notched corners, and good for plenty of HP

Will post pictures whenever i get all of my goodies instead of internet pictures. THank you matt at MCB.

Im going to have to hold off for awhile buying any major parts since i just spent alot and we have a child on the way. I plan on bringing the car back to my house so i can work on it myself. Major body work is done. My question is we still have to prime it, paint it and assemble and i need progress to go much slower now so i can save money. At what point sould i have my builder get the car too so that i can start putting parts on whenever i have extra time and money? Should i have him just prime it, paint underneath and the firewall, or what? I dont really want him painting the door jams or the firewall until i completely put the car together so that i know for sure that everything that i want to add is done and fits. I dont want any cutting on any areas already painted.

Im just looking for some overall advice.

Check page 14 or 15 of my project thread and you can see how my 19" wheel is barely fitting. The car has to be raised to be driven.

If I had to do it again I would do 18 since I like my car LOW

Yup i want my car real low too. The lowest i can get it. The rear is going to be 18x12 and i know i can fit a 18x10 in the front but im wondering if that would be the best setup for my car. Either a 18x10 with 275/35/18 or 18x9 with 255/40/18

I did a 9 in the front so it would tuck. I don't have my fender on yet so I couldn't tell ya how much clearance I have.
