Default Progress

With the final body repair (except for doors and fenders, it's time to call Anvil) we can get onto more fun things.

Like chopping up a 2012 Camaro IRS to fit into a 73 Camaro. Scott will also have to fabricate a lot of the rear floor pan, hope I can use the 2006 GTO rear seat I bought.

I ordered a Rick's tank with Vaporworx and a CTSV twin fuel pump set up. It's very pretty and should provide this motor with all the fuel it needs.

Scott also got the front down on wheels with new metric lug nuts, and build rear stand offs to make it more moveable. I can't wait to see the flaming river stainless column, u-joints and intermediate shaft hanging through that saved firewall. Scott also makes brackets for the vintage air unit under the dash.

We've decided to re-drill the rear Camaro hubs, as they have a slightly different bolt pattern, but also use a meatier axle shaft than the Corvette hubs. Although I wonder if a later model Camaro (C6 or C7) uses the same spline count as the Camaro. I do have a set of C6 ZO6 rear hubs here, along with the entire rear suspension.

Can't wait to see the firewall supports, sub frame connectors and Ride Tech cage installed. Should be a very stiff chassis.
