RPM Hot Rods Presents Project Triple Nickel 69 Camaro Convertible
Been a while since I add any builds and we have a few really cool ones going so here goes...
A customer called us wanting to build a 69 Camaro Convertible that was set up similar to our shop car... He did not have a car to start with so the search began.. About 2 hours later a nice driver was found and on its way to the shop! Once the car arrived it was quickly disassembled, soda blasted and the cutting began. At one point in the Camaros life somebody had replaced all of the sheet metal but the floors were another story. The best way to repair the floors were to completely cut them out from the firewall back to the tail panel and replace with a complete pan. Once the pan was in place we took a ride to see our friends at Detroit Speed and picked up just about every suspension piece they offered for the car...
After discussions with our customer it was decided the car would receive a fuel injected Pat Musi 555 making 675HP, Tremec Magnum six speed, and Baer six piston calipers with 14" rotors front and rear. The body would receive many subtle mods and he wanted the car silver with a red gut.
We called Gary Ragle and told him our thoughts for the build. A few renderings later and the build was quickly underway.
