Welcome! That is a REALLY clean garage! Nice progress on the project so far.

I have several relatives in Sweden, they come over here for SEMA every year and LOAD UP on parts. They stuff extra suitcases full and check them in. its cheaper than the shipping I guess.
I am looking forward to your build. What are the overall plans? Engine, suspension, brakes?:cheers:

Nice work on the grill and lower valance! How did you delete the light holes in the grill?

Many thanks!

Hehe, yeah when there´s an opportunity to stack up on parts without the swedish customs "interfering", You take it!

I´ve got the complete TCI front and rear end. Willwood brakes (11" cause of 15" wheels) Engine etc is not decided yet.

Got two grilles and a lot of patience. ;)

Started with the rear...

Bent some bars and made a roll cage out of the roll bar.

Testmounted all the hardware in the front, so there will hopefully not be any surprises down the line.

Very nice!

Looks like your shop is a kitchen! :thumbsup:

:lol: Thanks!

Looks really good! Another member here just put that sub frame in a 69 camaro. Its a nice looking piece, I was able to see it in person installed.

Are you going to be using the car as a race car? Street/track both?

How did you delete the lights in the grill? It turned out really nice. Kind of cleans up the whole front end.

I like the front and rear clip so far. Nice welds and nice fit. The car is mainly a track car so there´s not gonna be any upholstery, audio system or such. Will try make it street legal though.

I edited my previous post - there´s your answer regarding the front grille... :thumbsup:

Welcome.:thumbsup: Youre doing some outstanding fab work.Please keep posting your progress.Can't wait to see more.:thumbsup: Scott M.

Ok, now I see how you sectioned the grill. Good idea, looks really nice.

Thanks for posting all of the pictures, keep them coming.:thumbsup:

What part of Sweden are you in? I hear there are some pretty crazy builds going on over there these days.

Do you ever go to the car show/cruise in at the museum in Umea°?

The front fenders on this build is the first sheet metal work for me. They were in such a bad shape I figured I might as well have a go with them. Bought some hammers and dollys etc and got started.

Anyway, thanks! :)

My pleasure! :yes:

I live in the middle of Sweden - approx 100 miles north of Stockholm. Never been to Umea though. Never visited the States either. A must before I´m three feet under! Cruise/cruising isn´t my cup of tea really, but I´ve been on power tours in southern Sweden and some track days.

I am really amazed with the fabrication work you are doing and that is one hell of a clean shop:thumbsup:

here is what the dash will look like painted

seems like we have the same tastes.good luck with your build

Love it

Great build. Car looks great already. As with every one else, I agree with the nice garage. Keep us posted.
By the way, your camera shots are awesome!:thumbsup:

Very nice build and garage. Were in Sweden are you? I'm from Ostergotland but have lived in the US for a long time.

Tonny

Killer project! Metal work is looking fantastic! :thumbsup:

Since I´m a sheet metal noob, that´s really nice to hear! Thank You!

Nice car! Yes, we have similar taste :yes:

Nice :thumbsup:

Been into photography for about two years and I find it quite fun and interesting. Also, I needed a hobby ;) Many thanks!

I live in the middle of Sweden - approx 100 miles north of Stockholm. Southern Dalarna. Maybe I´ll join you "over there" ;) Hehe, at least I´m gonna make a trip to the US someday...I hope...

Thank you!

Cool build:thumbsup: Love the kitchen,errrr.. office, umm.. shop:D

Well...thanks! :thumbsup:

Cool I got an Aunt in Mora and cousins in Borlange and Leksand

Tonny

Very nice "garage" if it can be called that. I think I deserves to be called something more than that! :lol: Also I thought when people :faint: they go 6 feet under. :lol:

Got any pics of the mods you would of had to make (since it's tubbed) to the TCI rear torque arm mounts for the two link brackets?

EDIT: Nice build!!

Very nice!! Love the stance and the fat 15's in back! :thumbsup:

Ok, that´s not far from here.

My bad! But...

We end up about the same depth anyway, cause here in Sweden we´re not so big around the waist... :unibrow:

Will check later if I have any pics. Should have at least of the front brackets. I cut those almost in half, leaving just the front of it and welded that to the tubing (new frame rails). Rear brackets, coil over cross member, I made almost completely from scratch. Don´t have any pictures of that but will take some next time the car is on jacks.

Thanks!

Those wheels and tires are borrowed, but the size is gonna be about the same. 15x12" in the back and 15x8" in the front. 10" wide in front would have been nice, but that would only be possible with 18" wheels though.

Thank you!

Finished the garage exterior this summer. Fall and winter is coming so there´ll be lots of time spent inside these walls...

Got some Weber carbs for the Camaro today.

Nothing sounds sweeter than DCOE Webers! I ran a pair of 40's on a 2TC Toyota that I drove daily and Auto-X'd for three years back in the early 80's.

Can't wait to hear your motor!

Your photography is better than the car. :unibrow: The car rocks..:thumbsup:

I can imagine! I had four Dellorto DRLA´s on my previous Camaro - the sound and torque is very nice :)

Haha, many thanks! :bow:

Started making some panels for the interior. Will post more pictures when they are completely done.

Also started converting my website to english since statistics show many visitors are americans and even more speaks english...

Really cool build
 

Love what you'be been doing with the Camaro, and really like the fact that you've stuck with Rally wheels as they really look cool on there. Did you have the rears widened? Also like your work on the front lighting conversion as well as your choice in the Webers. Very very nice.

By the way, it`s nice seeing how clean you keep that shop floor when you`re taking pictures. :unibrow:

Graeme

Thanks! Those wheels are borrowed but the ones I ordered are the same size. Took steel wheels now. They'll do through the build and they give me a chance to correct backspacing if necessary when ordering magnesium wheels in the future... =)

I always clean the floor at the end of the day. That's also a good time to take some photos ;)

Thanks again!

You must be a surgeon by trade. I don't think I've ever seen a more sanitary work space. Exceptional work with the camera and fab. :thumbsup:
