69 camaro, g-comp suspension, speedway motors catalog parts

[Raider189]

This will be a garage build using speedway motors g-comp front and rear suspensions and a lot of other parts from the various catalogs. For full disclosure my name is Dave Wallace and I work at speedway motors as the production manager. I will be buying all of the parts the same as a customer would and make what I can't buy for this project at home in a 3 stall garage. I've been lurking around for a few years looking for the right project car to buy and then a good plan to build a track/street car. I finally found a good car that a friend made me a good deal on except it was used as a drag car. It had a lot of good parts but some not so good home made rear suspension. I drove the car home from an airport hanger the first week of March and got started assessing what I had gotten into! I won't bore you to much with the basic tear down pictures but I will start with the rear suspension first and then move on to the front. Here are how it looked after a quick washing, it was basically in storage and not used from around 2000. The tear down started later that week. I will be up loading photos shortly

Watching with interest, Dave.

Speedway website shows no info on Camaro stuff except spindles - just Nova stuff.

Hey Dave, nice to see you here. I'm not sure if we've met in person before as I'm terrible with names but I have been around the Speedway trailer a few times at events. Looks like you have a decent starting point with the Camaro, are you keeping the big block? I'm assuming you'll be setting the rear suspension up much like Al's Camaro, for the rest of you that aren't familiar with it...this should be a fun watch.

For pictures hosting, it generally works best if you upload the pictures to a third party hosting site like photobucket...then once the pictures are hosted you just copy the image embed code and paste it in a reply box here. It'll look something like this except without the spaces.
