Master Fabrication/Restoration Technician Tom Farrell:
Tom Farrell has spent nearly his entire life learning the arts of metal fabrication, welding and repair, body preparation and painting and standard mechanical diagnosis and repair. Before graduation from high school, he had already created a number of specialty vehicles, fabricating custom frames, interchanging drive trains, creating one-off parts in his family machine shop, and working extensively with paint, body prep and fiberglass body parts. From 1981 to 1985 Tom worked as an apprentice and journeyman in an oil-industry related repair, fabrication and large-engine repair business. From 1985 to 1992 he served as supervisor and resident expert for this same entity. During this period, he became impressively expert in custom machining and fabrication, adaptation and painting of all manner of parts and frames composed of nearly every kind of metal used today. In addition, he perfected his all-source welding skills to a level of quality rarely seen anywhere in the world. In 1992, Tom followed a lifelong dream and joined a NASCAR Busch Series team, working for Allen Dillard Motors’ Racing Team in the Charlottesville, VA area. After one season of racing, his talents were recognized by the Carl Yarborough racing team and he moved there. By 1995, he’d been offered and accepted a position at the prestigious Penske Racing team. From 1995 to early 2007, Tom specialized in NASCAR race vehicle design and construction for Penske Racing. This included frequent prototype CAD work and designing and machining parts on three-axis CNC mills, custom fabrication of metal and carbon fiber parts and assemblies, suspension fabrication/tuning and body prep/painting. Tom’s position included hands-on involvement with nearly every aspect of the creation of these very complex race vehicles. Tom’s wealth of knowledge and expertise was recognized again in 2000 when Penske Racing moved him to their research and development and wind-tunnel testing area. Also in 2000, Tom began his own business restoring, creating custom fabricated parts, painting, plating and finishing, and performing mechanical maintenance on hot rods, Muscle Cars and exotic cars—specializing in vintage Ferraris. Today, Tom Farrell brings 31 years of experience in shaping metal, fiberglass, carbon fiber, custom welding, forming custom frame work, roll cages, exhausts and headers, mold-making for hard-to-find or custom parts and paint and body work to RKC every day—ensuring our creations and restorations are the finest available.

Well thank you for that one!!! we feel the love

i know with our sub frame Not that that is what your asking) and air ride with 18x10 285 tire the cross member sits 3/4" off ground,

and the limiting factor seems to be the inner fenders and that is easy to fix.

I'm looking for something along the lines of the G-Force cuda or the the Brunning Cuda but in a 69 Camaro. I'm also thinking of trying to wedge section the car and just to line the rocker up with front fender extensions. We plan just buy all the exterior panels and align everything up from there. We are not going to cut up a stocker.

Could some body give me tell me how much higher the front fender extensions are above therocker on the camro if the rocker was parrell to the ground. I'm sure somebody has a 69 camaro on this site.

Thanks

I know I should have called the only guy that always has a camaro and a tri-5 in their shop.

I have a new idea rolling around in my my head from a client that got me all worked up on a 69 camaro idea and then disappeared. Plus the Truck project is almost done. So I might as well start on a 4" ride height 69 camaro with a minor wedge section and stuff all the spare parts we have laying around. And I have a brand new muscle car magazine interested in coving the whole build since no one ever wanted to do a tech article series on Johns Nova and I now know how the system work I might as well run with it.

69 camaro due to the fact they look better super low due to the fender opening shape. 4" ride hight to rocker with no pinch weld, not the subframe or front crossmember. Probably 18's and 19's with the widest possible front and 345 rears with some modified corvette C6 suspension. I'm not going to let all the cats of the bag, but I'm just looking for inspiration other guys might have saved on their hard drives. If you can not tell by the project we build I like to build cars that sit lower then a laid out air bag car ever could with medium sized wheels. I have been thinking for weeks about this car and cannot think that I have ever seen a 69 Camaro of all years ever built to l this level. That is why I opened this up to my fellow car addicts.

So where is this 68 you talk about. Tylers 50/50 will be 4" with the body kit he has to install.

Hey Roger, I was in your shop about a year ago or so. I talked to you about doing work on my 55 2 door post. You had a 69 camaro that you were building at the time. That thing had a killer stance on it. Did you finish that car or whats become of it. Im thinking of doing a 67 Camaro for my wife and wanted to see the completed project. Thank You, Chad
