Wow, awesome! Welcome to the site. :thumbsup:

What booth will it be in at SEMA?

EDIT: I thought that your car looked familar, I went and looked in my past pics and I took this at Car Craft 2 years ago.

Yea, thats the very same car. pre turbo.

Very Nice work. Plumbing is nicely done. Keep the updates and photos coming!

Looks great.

Do you think that 4L60E will last longer then one launch behind 1500 hp, ;) .

bad ass ride right there...
 

I bet that thing is a handful to drive

Very Nice. You wouldn't expect that car to be that...COOL! :thumbsup:

that is easily the nicest third gen camaro on the face of the planet. easily.

Awesome...can't believe that's an 84. I'm a sucker for 3rd gen Camaros (I own one).

87 Camaro Z28 LT1/4L60E
68 Camaro LT1/T56 in progress

It should last a couple of times. The transmission shop built up all the weak points with hand build parts only time will tell. The 80e would be a better choise but i would have to cut the tunnel

That is a beautiful ride you have there. The plumbing installations are pristine. Nice job !! Gotta love that Nelson engine combo too...

that's a beautiful car. I want to do a rendering of a 82+ berlinetta style Camaro without ground effects with large wheels. I'll be sure to do a version with ground effects too, cause your car looks awesome.

Thanks for all your interest I posted a couple new pics. I will be posting more as the progres continues. I will also let you know wich booth at sema.

wow, that is bad ass man..........love that turbo set up.

Is that best ever fuel system !!!! :hail:

All the hard lines are getting polished, And the exhaust will be coated in ceramic silver. The tail pipes are hand built 4 inch mufflers they look pretty cool. Tom nelson will have the camaro on his web page soon the first of his new Nelson Racing Supercars

Any interior shots? Did you guys do anything special inside?

The only shot I have is from the hatch. I do have some with the roll cage with the doors open but no interior. The interior is mostly bone stock with the countour package. that may change at a later date. I will get some from the sides but it will take some time the car is in california

Awesome car! Email me anytime! Third Gens do rock! Check out mine below. Feel free to email me [email protected]

1984 camaro
 

Go to nelson racings site the camaro is in there

wow man awsome car and the true duals look amazing, hows the ground clerance on those?

Awsome work!! I remember seeing pics of your excellent pluming some time a go. Can you tell me where did you get the stainless tubing and wich tools did you use ? I know not all benders and flaring tools wont handle stainless .

Exhaust
 

The ground clearence is as good if not better than stock the pipes are oval witch is a big help

stainless
 

The stainless work was done by Nelson and does need tools which most of us dont have

Trans
 

I am now adding a 80E transmission the car will be running mid-high eights next spring. Wanted extra insurance

When's it gonna be done? Changing the trans, maybe a week or so?

I can't stop looking at this camaro...Where can I find the overall car specs?

done?
 

The camaro will be done by spring the intake has been a lot of work months and months. Once that is complete the rest can be done most of all the little stuff is done fuel,brake,hydro-boost and transmission lines the 80e will take 2-3 weeks to get built and about another week to cut tunnel after i have transmission. Hang in there it will be at the shows next season

specs
 

Chevy High Performance will be doing a full artiacle on the car and will cover the entire project.But that is still a few months away. I will post updates as they happen and also check on nelsons site he will have pics of engine and the dyno run later on. The billet intake is the first of its kind and expected to be done in the next few weeks. I will keep you guys up to speed as progress continues :thumbsup:

WOW!!!!
BEAUTIFUL and with all the goodies!!! VERY NICE!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

mmm, drool.. ( had to reregister dono what happen to my old account)

Just wanted to say WOW is that one of the best 3rdgens Ive seen !!

TWO THUMBS UP !!

Very nice and clean !:yes: :thumbsup: :hail:

Im working on getting my close to that but mines a bird :unibrow:

Beautiful car. Do you know when the article in chp will run. I need to resubscribe.

Who's roll cage or is it custom? Nice fit.

cage
 

The cage was a custom job with a frame tighed in. The cage work was done by competiton research & development of milwaukee

ad
 

I will post you all when the article will run.
Thanks

camaro
 

The 80e is in and the car is getting 345 rubber on rear :thumbsup:

Did the 80E fit without cutting the tunnel. I'm in the same boat now and considering going that route.

80e
 

Yes it fits in tunnel but you have to modify the tail end, new trans mount and shorten your tourque arm since the 80e is longer

Amazing ride !!! Please post updates as they come !!
