Project Chaos: 1973 TA and 1969 Camaro

[chichirone]

I ordered new tires for the Camaro today. I went with the Dunlop Direzza Zii's! I wish the Rivals came in 19" diameter. My wheel diameter choice left me with few options for a 200 treadwear tire.

They are supposed to be in this week.

255/35r18 fronts
275/35r19 rears

Thnks man! It is freakin sweet...and real carbon fiber. All the credit goes to Albert Melchior of Carbon Kustoms. This 73 was his creation. This car, Project Warhorse, was his test bed for the companies products.

He had the hood decal cut out so the inside of the image would have the CF hood show through. Brilliant idea. There are so many small details on this car. We cannot wait to get further along in the project, post more pics, and see it come together.

Good to see some progress too.

Not easy being a big kid around Christmas sometimes, huh Jay?

you are not kidding Skip. Special shout out to you for suggesting and assisting in moving the thread to the Project Updates section. I appreciate the help.

I received a few updates on the 69 Camaro project. The LSX454 with the Dynatech headers installed.




Got the Autokraft oil pan. This is a really nice piece. Thanks to the guys at Texas Speed for the recommendation.



The firewall is in epoxy primer. Mocking up the brakes, clutch, steering, ac bulkhead, wiring, etc. Getting ready to move it into the body shop to fix the welds and seams before paint. Will all be hot rod black.
