Spiro's car probably could be thrown in this mix, it's a real Camaro...

Kevin I saw that car run at the Super Streetcar nationals. It ran like a 6.70 I think. It might have been the other single turbo car, but they are both very nice.

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.

We built a camaro a few years ago that had a lot of work put into it. I know alot of people didn't care for it but it had alot of work placed in it. Full tube chassis, viper suspension, can-am'd quarters, custom interior, etc... It sold at Barrett-Jackson for $486,000 to Ron Pratt. It won the GM design award at SEMA... I just wish they had showed it more before the sale....

Hey Rodger,

Our 69 is all hand built like what you want to do, we used a Wayne front end and rebuilt the complete thing to get the cross member 1/2 inch off the ground and lowered the body over the frame, we rebuilt the complete back all by hand and the 3-inch exhaust allows the car to sit 1/2 inch off the ground and still drive.

Cant do full turns but I can drop it right to the ground while driving. I set out to build the lowest functional Camaro out at the time and think we achieved most of that. We also have a 345/35ZR19 on the rear and a 275/30ZR19 on the front so super wide wheels and we can do full turns.

I can send you some detail shots if you want or you can check out the post as we are finishing up the car now. Its getting ready to go into paint.

Chris,Is it the vert on the table?.That is bad a$$

Absolutely nowhere near the amazing builds that many have already posted, you guys build some killer cars , but mine might be of interest.

It's not a low budget car, but th list of customisation that I could do on it (over and above what is being done) is still signiicant.

It's a 68 Camaro.

AME front clip. Coilovers all round
Minitubbed with 325x50x17's on rear
245x45x17 on front

I also wanted a 4" ride height and that is what has been achieved. No wedge

To achieve this, custom 4 link rear end, and on the AME front we increased to top of the coilover mounting point by 1.5" to give 2.5" of travel.

I would have loved to channel it and get it even lower, but I have to set a budget that is realistic and I had other mods that were more important to me.

As said maybe not quite what you are thinking, but it is in Australia and is running an AME front clip, not sure if this is what you may have been referring to earlier. Car still 10-12 months off completion.

My major customisations are all internal (massive dash, console and hood lining changes)
