Default Targa Camaro update

Well at least one person asked for it, (70rs), so here goes with the update to the Targa Camaro. After waiting for many stars to align, the project is a go for this year. The initial post canbe found here:

Info on the race can be found here :

And if you watch this short teaser, you will understand why a roll cage is important at this type of event :

I also got a lot of inspiration from this car and I wish I had the budget to have the same level of fit and finish :

When we last left off, we were finishing up the roll cage. Here is how the sidebars turned out. we used a square tube at the bottom because it was a perfect fit. he side bars may seem low, but they protect the pelvis area. Very important!



There are no subframe connectors as we feel that they are unnecessary at this point. The subframe bushings are Global West stock height solid aluminum.



This is what can happen when your welder has a bad day.



And the final result :
