67' Camaro "Blue Demon" Upgrade! - Lateral-g Forums

I've already "finished" the restoration on my 67' and I've been driving it for a few years now. To bring everyone up to speed, I bought the car when I was 15, learned to drive in it, and drove it to high school. When I was 17 I started a full frame off restoration of the car. That took about 7 years and I've been driving it for a few years now. One area the car was lacking in was the rear suspension. During the restoration process I had already done all new wheel tubs, trunk pan and quarters and bought a new rear and springs and shocks. Only a few months later DSE released their mini tubs and Quadralink. I opted to not spend more money at the time and redo all the work that was just completed. Once I got to the front end I went with the DSE subframe so the rear has been lacking ever since. So.... The car is currently undergoing an upgrade. DSE mini tubs, Narrowed Moser 9", Quadralink. DSE subframe connectors, new wheels and a new exhaust system. Here is what the car looked like before the upgrade started..

So... I took it Legacy Innovations in York, Pa and they did all the cutting and welding for me... Here are a few shots of some of the metal work being done.

Went with the black spatter paint inside the trunk..

I went with HRE wheels for the upgrade and wrapped them in Michelin rubber. These are by far the highest quality wheel I've ever seen. These are Satin Charcoal Centers with Polished Lips. Rears are 18"x11" and fronts are 18"x9".

I got some work done in my trunk area this weekend. The hole in the middle of the trunk is one of Detroit Speeds new products, their Fuel Pump Access Door Kit. The Fuel Pump Access Door kit allows a bolt on cover to be located above the fuel pump so the fuel tank does not have to be removed to change or service the fuel pump. This is definitely a nice feature if you've ever had an issue with your fuel system, which I have. Also I mounted a Fuel & Differential Vent in the trunk. I went with II Much Fabrication vents which I also got through DSE. The II Much Fuel Vent helps eliminate fuel spills and odors and the diff vent will help with running at the track and pushing oil out of the rear. These vents are extremely nice quality and easy to mount. I just used a hole saw the exact size I needed. It's an easy upgrade. Once I had those mocked up I re mounted and re wired my stereo equipment which is a 500 watt Polk amp which I'm running to all Polk Momo speakers. It's getting there! Hopefully get the rear back in this week.

Starting to put the interior back together too...
