Project Nighthawk 1969 Camaro - Ground up rebuild

[Amituk]

More updates from Jason at theGMR

Jason uses high tech custom designed tooling to ensure he can draw a straight line around the tube. No wonky cuts here!


Holes drilled to allow the snout to be plug welded to the axel tubes for final fit


More custom designed tooling from GMR to make sure centre section bolt holes are in exactly the right place




Another jig used to ensure perfect alignment for the axel snouts. A precision ground alignment bar that spans the entire length of the housing both snouts are set at the same time, making them very straight to each other. Dont want to be driving in circles!


Tacked in place for now




Jason is cleary actually a women as he is able to tap a thread, bolt in the drain plug and take a picture at the same time


The completed GM9 Chromoloy bare housing, ready for suspension and brake mounts of your choice






As you can see, light as a feather. With the Motto “Lighter – Stronger – Faster” the gmr products are designed accordingly and this GMR9-325 housing is no exception. The GMR9-325 housing with 3.25" housing tubes, 3/8" faceplate, large filler cap, and rear truss section is only 1 pound more then a Currie F9 with 3" tubes and NO TRUSS installed! Now, that is a serious weight – strength ratio!
