John's 68 "EFIN QIK" Camaro Project
 

Hey Everyone Im John and Im building a 68 camaro. it was an original Tuxedo black/black houndstooth SS. It will be painted back to its original color.

Mods will be-

Body:
New full floor, trunk pan, drvrs quarter
Window channel repair, cowl repair, new dash
DSE deep tubs
Bedlined
DSE Firewall plate

Motor:
2000 Camaro SS LS1/T56
cam (not sure which one yet)
Looking for some LS6 heads and intake

Interior:
Going with a factory black houndstooth look but with modern electronics like Vintage Air and a Nav head unit. If its within the budget I will use Marquez dash and door panels.

Heres some before and current pics of how it is now. I hope to be done in a year.

hey John, looks alot like my car!! LS1 tech is a good resource, ck out 317 truck heads:D

Chris, what's the differance between the 317 and the LS6? P.S See you in July

Got the tailpan and firewall shaved. Ended up not using the DSE. Also was bored one night and took my buffer to the S&P LS1 mounts and made them shiny. Now I need to decide if I want to shave the drip rails or not.... what do u guys think?

Still need a project name also.....

Hi John Sounds good. I like the name . My vanity plate is FNQUIK thinking of naming my car the same. Not sure how it would go.

I got the firewall done. It was made from a giant piece of sheetmetal. Also shaved my rear gas filler.

Hi John The fire wall looks good and I like the way the valve covers came out. Keep the updates coming.

Nice work John! Looks like it's going to be a killer car!

My vote is to keep the drip rails.

:thumbsup:

I test fitted the motor the other day. It barely fits. About 1/2 inch to the firewall
