70 Kinda Camaro, Gen 5 LT1/LT4
 

I thought I already started a thread here some time ago.
Short story, this is the continuation of a project that hit a wall and fell apart.
2 years ago I got the project jump started when I settled on a 70 Camaro for the shell.
Here is a summary of the good stuff.

Gen V C7 dry sump LT1 with LT4 supercharger.
Scratch built 2x3 tube chassis.
C7 front suspension and C5/7 rear suspension.
C7 Grand Sport brakes, 6 piston/4 piston calipers.
2012 Camaro TR6060 transmission.
2004 GTO center section with CTS-V axle shafts.
C5 steering rack.
2017 Camaro dash, and all the electronics to drive the Gen6 creature comforts.

I got the bulk of the exhaust built. 304 stainless, cut and weld. Still needs to be ground and maybe polished. It came out better than expected. I still need to figure out how it will terminate. I like the idea of building some sort of diffuser that will also house a single backup light.
After some trial and error I built an air intake for the A/C system. I also bought and installed Gen 6 brake and clutch pedals along with a ZL1 booster and master. Pretty cool, the clutch master is built into the clutch pedal pivot.
I have been searching for a few months for the right deal on OEM Recaros with heat and cool. A pair finally popped up out of a 21 1LE with less than a thousand miles on it. They are in much better shape than I could have hoped for an half the price of well used ones with blown air bags. I spent some time Saturday and mocked them up along with the console. Purely by accident the shifter comes through the hole in just about the right spot. I have been sweating this for a long time.
I stumbled upon a guy parting a 2SS with a bunch of other stuff I needed. I was able to grab the E-brake actuator, power window mechanisms, inner door wiring to tie everything together and a factory amp.
The window motor assemblies are going to work slick. I had a pair out of a CTS that came close, but these will be much better. Not near as much fab as I anticipated.


This project has gone through a huge evolution as time goes by. The pictures will be the best way to explain.

And a few more to bring it up to date.

Im not really sure what happened, but the car is really rubber side down ion real life.

Awesome! You're going to have to bring this to C&O once it's mobile.

I fixed them, never seen upside down before lol.

Full chassis replacements and lots of custom work. That's the Pro-Touring that I like seeing.
