My 72' Camaro build thread
 

Well I must start out by saying the quality of some of the builds on this site are unreal! Several people have answered numerous messages from me that have been a huge help.

Vince @ Meanstreets just did the rear suspension install and I couldn't be happier! (I did the hack job on the minitubs) Kim and Matt sold me most of the hard parts. Jason @ Rushforth was great! They were all very patient and a huge help! All of these vendors went above and beyond communicating and delivering the products and service they promised.

As of right now we are about 70% don't with body work. Most of the suspension is done. Next is undercoat, motor/tranny install and plumbing/wiring. I will update with more detailed specs soon

Great work so far,I really like the second gens:thumbsup:

Nice start and nice car good luck.

Very nice! And you're in very good hands... Vince is a stud.

looks great so far!

What size meats are those in the rear?

U close to Livermore at all, i'd like to check it out if you didn't mind as i'm gettin ready for phase III on my 70...

Mike, those are 335's on 18x12"


Thanks for bringing it to us, it was a pleasure to work on it. Can't wait to see it done.

I can give you diff width and B/S if you need glassman.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Vince has re-stoked the fire!

Looks great, I've got a '69 but I love the 2nd gens too. Good luck...

You're in good hands over there at Meanstreets Performance. Vince is the man. Rumor has it that he building a pretty insane second gen firebird.:secret:

Nobody cares what I'm typing, everyone wants pictures! Here's a few more

I wish I would have known about what he has in the works prior to my suspension purchase. Im sure I will be 100% happy with what I have, I just like the new stuff. :)

Looking good. I like the color in the engine bay. Will that be body color too?

It will be, that picture doesn't do it justice. I was searching around for a color for a while. compos mentis (Mod. here) was nice enough to suggest a color similar to what I was looking for. The firewall wasnt buffed or cleared. Im going to do some simple satin black graphics and accents to match the centers on the wheels. It should turn out very nice. Hoping to spray in the next three months.

Looking good man! Nice job on the firewall.
