1969 Camaro : "TEXAN"

[214Chevy]

Welcome bro, from a fellow Texan. I'm 30 minutes away from you in Dallas. Looks like a great starting point. The car looks very nice and seems to be a great starting point. Now put an LS in it and some 19x12's in the rear of it and drive the hell out of it. Lol!

Nice looking project. Good starting point.
I'm not one for those style GTO's, but yours looked pretty nice.

I did my best, i loved that car, lots of power, room, and always turned heads with that cam i had in it! was hard to let her go.....

I have been gone for about 4 years....need help getting back into it on a low budget. I need help on where to go and what to do!!!!

I want to be able to get into autocross and local track days...not drag racing. Would like to do the basic stuff and all myself. Would be willing to spend some money on a good set of staggered wheels and tires. Really want to mini-tub...though I know if I can set the car with 275s all around, I would be just fine.

Car currently sits with:

Stock subframe and control arms
2" lowering springs and leafs
CPP Disk break conversion (12")
Tremec TKO
3.55s
Autometer gauges w/ corbin dash
Stock hounds tooth interior and seats

PLEASE HELP!

If I was doing a car on a budget I would look into a complete ride tech set up. Possibly even do there new Street grip leaf springs instead of the 4 link.

I'd also look into speedtech performance. If budget allows use the speedtech chicane coil over conversion.

I thought I was seeing double there for a minute. This is how mine looked.

I checked that system out. Seems like not a lot of product for the $.

I would really like to squeeze a wider tire in the rear, maybe a 285 or wider out back...but was not sure how to achieve that without a mini tube. I would think I could roll the fenders and gain a little clearance with that way, but what else could I do???


I have checked out the following kit on @ CPP:

I then figured I could pair this with a set of their upper control arms:

Get a set of the BMR bolt in sub frame connectors:

So everything I have read about stuffing a 275 up front has boiled down to it's just a pain in the @$$ and without a aftermarket subframe, you are 50/50 to get it to work.

I think the best option is to get a 17x9 with 5.5" of backspacimg and go with a 255/40...thoughts?
