Congrats on joining the exclusive group of 1969 Camaro owners. Your shirts are going to fit tighter in the chest and you will have new found confidence.

Sounds like a killer project! I'll be following along since I know you actually use and dial in your stuff. One lap going down the road when it's done? and where do you find the time?

I figured you knew what a 69 looked like already and besides, it should look different by the time it gets to you anyways.

Believe it it or not this is my first 1969... I've had a couple of dozen first and second gens over the last twenty years but never a 69. And just when I was getting used to saying "no, it's just a '67..."

I don't know what happens to the OLC... My hope is that next year we could field both cars in the OLoA but logistically I'm not sure how that would work.

Time? What time?

Well The One Lap 69 Camaro got picked up from it's drop off point in Irvine about a month and a half ago. The Speedtech stuff suspension system had arrived and we are working to get everything installed. We installed some DSE mini tubs and subframe connectors in the car and are getting the subframe mounted to the body without the subframe bushings. This will lower the car just a bit more. We Installed a Fab 9 rear axle housing on to the Speedtech torque are set up. James is selecting the seats he wants to run so we can measure for the steering column and begin rollcage construction. Last I heard James was thinking about having us try to stuff a 315 tire under the front suspension. I'm not sure if that is still the case or now. Then once that front tire with is figured we will set up the rear axle to fit the same tire all around and have the same backspace to be able to only care one spare tire. UUUMMMM Smart guy huh? Well enough BS, Lets see some pictures.

Cool project James. Targa Newfoundland is a cool race. Just don't plow it into any trees like Eric Bana did
