Yet another 69 Camaro Build
 
Hi guy this hands down is one of the best sites I have come to. Everyone seems very friendly and "full" of information.Lol I have been a 1gen camaro owner since 16 and never imagined doing a build like I am doing till after the kids were done with college but..... as we all know men have the patience of a 2 year old. Well here goes started off with a new dynacorn body and all sheet metal didn't want to deal with the whole rust thing. For the frame I went with the complete Art Morrison front chassis with all the c6 stuff. In the rear I went with the 4 bar and 9" set up. Started off with the Strange coil over but have already upgraded to the double adj JRI front and rear. For the brakes I went with the Wilwood 14.5 all the way around. 6 piston up front and 4 in the rear. Yes 14.5" not 14.25 funny story about that later. For power I went with a GMPP 525Hp crate Ls3 and a Tremmic 6 speed trans. I figure if I need more power later I can upgrade from there. There is a lot more done but I don't feel like writing a novel today just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. The car is being built by not only a good friend but I think one of the best builders around Zane at Cotati Speed Shop(formally Creative Concepts) in Santa Rosa Ca. He has gone over and beyond to help me with my dream car. If anyone was at SEMA it was the unfinished car in the Flowmaster both. I will put pics up as soon as I figure out how!!

Thanks,
Rob

Welcome Rob.

Sounds and looks like a great project. We'll have to hook up some day when both our projects are done. I'm over in Napa. Hope to have mine done in the next month or two.

Looking forward to seeing more...

welcome

RPitts 01-08-2013 10:15 PM

Thanks guys! I have about 100 pics but can't figure out to get the sizing thing figured out! Going to have to ask my 15yr. lol. The headers are from Flowmaster they are a proto type they sent us to see if they would work with the Morrison front end.

Here are some more progress pictures and details of Rob and Jenn Pitts 69 Camaro. We are very excited about this build and the direction that it is going. Even more exciting is the fact that we get to build this car for a close friend. Follow along on both threads.

Welcome to the site!

RPitts 01-14-2013 08:24 AM

I am having a hard time with body mods. I want some small changes but dont want it to be a "era" build. I would like in 10 years to look at the car and make some small changes Wheels,interior,etc.. I have a little time so input would be great!

Hey welcome to the site. Really cool car and nice build. I remember seeing this car at SEMA, I spent a bit of time looking it over thinking it was a nice job so far on the car.
:thumbsup:

Just got all the brake lines ran and starting the fuel lines. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psasgpmrl8.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psliutcejk.jpgSo I got this bulkhead from restomod air I li the design but rest of A/C is going to be Vintage.

WSSix 03-04-2015 06:00 AM

That's pretty! Love the valve covers. Good luck!

syborg tt 03-04-2015 12:37 PM

RPitts 03-04-2015 07:56 PM

Classics of course!http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...pswwfovi9q.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psxtnqcmbz.jpghttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psfmsrfekx.jpg

Build-It-Break-it 03-06-2015 08:32 PM

Beautiful builds. That truck looks killer, I'm sure your boys will enjoy it.

RPitts 03-11-2015 12:12 PM

Great meeting you as well Greg! I need to name this Camaro but looks like all the good ones are taken! I could call it "Money Pit".Lol

Flash68 03-11-2015 01:19 PM

Woohoo! Home town companies!! There weren't many guys building cars out there when I left in '00

GregWeld 03-12-2015 12:41 PM

Zane is a good guy - builds beautiful cars... and he can paint okay too... LOL

Justin@EntropyRad 03-13-2015 11:25 AM

K10 and Camaro??
 
Nice toys!

Is the shop in 'Rosa, in-between in RoPo, or in Cotati?

RPitts 03-14-2015 08:37 AM

My 69 is now at home with me finishing most of the work. Cotati Speed in located in Santa Rosa. They do great work but the whole reason to do this car was to do a bunch of the work with my sons. Gets really pricy paying for work we can do.

RPitts 03-14-2015 09:08 AM

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psci7ff7pz.jpgso sorry the picture is a little blurry but the Morrison rear clip doesn't leave a ton of room for running fuel and brake lines.http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psxrubk6ci.jpg so I made a little bulkhead for pressure and return lines. Bending stainless is a pain in the a$$!http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...pssggtgdlu.jpg So here is where I could use some help. Is there a company out there that makes a thru the frame bulkhead in 3/8"? I'm About to run hose the rest of the way to tank and filter!

Justin@EntropyRad 03-15-2015 04:55 PM

man..
 
Nice undercarriage...really looks stout

waynieZ 03-15-2015 08:26 PM

It came out nice under there.
