69 Camaro Convertible All Wheel Drive
 
Hey Fellow Lateral-G Members
Been awhile since i posted
So here is goes last year I was preparing to start my All Wheel Drive Camaro and life happened. Things have kinda settle now so now i can get back to my project and get peoples input and advice.

So the build is as follow 1969 Camaro RS Convertible
Project Plan:
Convert to a All Wheel Drive (Audi Quattro S6 Drivetrain Front and Rear Suspension. Why? Well I have the whole Drivetrain and Motor and Box management system etc.
Intall the Audi 5.2L V10 with the 6speed Tiptronic transmission with DBW and Paddle Shifts standard. Maybe install turbos but that later.

Body wise keep her very stock other then a few subtle changes like the Flush mount header bow of the top.
Speed Actuated Rear spoiler from a 2013 Audi TT.

So where I need help right now since i don't want to reinvent the well is either a CAD or Solidworks drawing of a 69 Full Frame so that i an look at the mods that need to be done for the front and the rear suspension.

So hoping someone out there can aid and assist me

Oh yea another very important point is I am doing this build out of South Africa
and I will upload plenty pics as the build starts

Thank you and later

Not often you can say 'That's a one-of-a kind '69 Camaro'...but you'll be able to. :)

Welcome back. :thumbsup:

CAD data of the underneath of the car will be hard to find.

Thanks it seems like it's gonna be that way
Guess I will have to put the body on a body roller and make my own cad file
And reinvent the full frame chassis

Sound like a very cool project, can't wait to see it come together! I'm NOT a cad guy so I can't help there but why not just get the body on the jig, setup the front and rear suspension to the wheel base you need for the Camaro and start to measure?

I know I'm making sound soooo simple but that's how it was done long before we had CAD and all the other fancy computer stuff??

the reason I am going the CAD route is to try and and be as accurate as possible and also if something doesnt quiet work out so well least I am able to tweak it a bit on Solidworks also I can then simulate alot of things

Just like we were taught growing measure measure measure then measure again and finally cut
