Thanks Tom...aka Radrambler.

I am happy to hear you guys like the way Killer turned out. When I first started building this car I truly have to admit I didn't think it would ever run again.

Been a blast since. Ended up writing a book inspired from the car project and coming up with some cool inventions/products to modernize the old Vettes.

Been VERY busy since last year re-working my 69 Camaro. Tom has been a big help. We get to bounce ideas off each other to help tweak the projects here and there.

The camaro is going together with a 2000 LS1 fitted with SLP Stage III heads & cam with 35# injectors, headers, cold air intake, 2,800 TCI stall all routed to a 9" with 3.5 gears. Suspension is mostly stock/modified with LS1 12" Camaro rear brakes and 13" cross drilled C5 front brakes riding on Edelbrock shocks and fiberglass springs out back.

My theme for the 69 Camaro is Complex Simplicity. I have stayed awake many-a-night dreaming up ways to hide, smooth, and re-route most major wire, hose, and bracket system under the hood for a super clean look. I think I am VERY close to making my mark.

I am on a drop dead finish date of July 05 to take it to Goodguys in Columbus Ohio. Considering it is in 1,000 pieces at this moment, it is going to be CLOSE!

I'll be hanging out around here checking out the site. Looks like some super cool rides!

How about some pics of both cars?

What he said :rolleyes:

If your camaro turns out HALF as nice as the vette it will still be amazing!

Please do include pics of both!

Mmmmmmmmm.... That's Puuuurrrdy.... :willy:


Bill, see what happens when you try to be me? :_paranoid

I have been very lazy about keeping up to date photos of the Camaro project on my site, or even quality photos at that.

Here is a shot that gives you an idea of the new firewall. I built my own crazy 90 degree kicker for the brake assembly and put the 1988 S-10 manual brake m/c in the cowl with reinforced framing. The wiper motor is a 1985 VW courtesy of a couple of fellows at PT.com that turned me onto the idea. I took it to the next level by adding a steering column from a 1981 Vette (tilt/tele) and cutting it down to fit and run flush with the firewall so I could close the hole up to the minimum. I added a cruise control unit that mounts under the dash and works off the throttle pedal. All this wires straight into the GM column for cruise and wipers. I used the old wiper switch hole on the dash to add a Autometer fuel PRESSURE gauge to keep an eye on the LS1 fuel system at a glance.

The a/c is Vintage air, but I am running the heater and a/c lines well out of view. I built a simple bulkhead in the right front inner fender near the core support to tuck in the heater and a/c line. The other a/c line goes through the frame rail out to the condenser. I have filler panels between the inner fender and core and fender that allows me to hide the over flow bottle, washer bottle, and duct the 4" cold air ram tube into there to suck cold air from behind the headlight and hide the cone filter.
