Default FlatBlack Performance

Hi!

I'll start writing a bit about my project, it's a Camaro -69 SS/RS that I have owned since I was 18 (now 25).

There is too much to write about what I have done over the years but here are some pictures and a list of some of the things I've done / are doing this year.
Rear suspension / chassis:
3-link (home-built)
Coilovers (Koni double adjustable with Eibach springs)
Watts (home built)
Rear brakes (Wilwood four-piston calipers and discs)
Subframe connectors (Hotchkis)

Front Suspension:
Disc brakes front (C6 Z06 six-piston calipers 14" discs)
Spindle (ATS AFX)
Upper A-arm (Speed ​​Tech)
Shock absorber (Koni)

Steering:
Box (ATS, Lee 670 12.7:1)
Pump (Lee TC with cooling)

Rims / Tires:
Front
CCW SP510 18" * 8.5"
Toyo R888 245 18"
Rear
CCW SP510 18" * 11"
Toyo R888 315 18"

Interior:
Split rear seat from a -71 Camaro
3-point seat belt for child seat (highest priority I got a daughter 5 months ago)

Exhaust system:
Finally welded, was made in 2009 with homemade x-pipe and Borla dampers.


Lower coilover mount (Chassisworks)


Koni double adjustable coilovers


Propeller for Watts link (Thanks Jim @ Fays2)


Some pictures of the rear inner fenders that will be widened a bit to make room for 315 tires.





The exhaust system



Tested with my sister's 315 tires from her Mustang, seems to fit OK.



Upper front mount for the 3-link


Wheels and brakes

Hard to keep order in such a crowded garage, but it works! (Changes the air suspension system on my dads Cadillac dad too )



If you're wondering why I am replacing my old rims, now you know why...

sick build!

why not make mounts for the child seat so you could use the 3 clip mounting straps built into the child seats, much more secure that way than with a 3 point.

Thanks all!

I will take a look at it. I was thinking about taking a belt from a newer car since this is what I use in my daily driver for the child seat. Maybe that is what you mean by 3 clip mounting?

First time with the Koni's on today
