1970 Camaro-Purpose Built Auto Cross

Sorry to side track the thread but did you have to replace any of the roof section? I have one and would like to see what it looks like under the paint.

If you have time or info please email to [email protected]


Mark Stielow is using Centerforce on his latest build. No sure if an aluminum flywheel is in your budget.

Thanks!

My budget was shot a long time ago. I definitely want to run an aluminum flywheel. I thought I would do some searching at SEMA. I'll email you tomorrow on the Nomad. Thanks for the help.

Here are some more pics of the recent progress. As soon as the cage was finished I dropped the car off at Rockets Garage in Outlook Washington, just an hour west of me. Riley Morris is the owner and his shop does quality work. I was struggling for time with the Nomad build and Riley had an opening in his shop. They did some sheetmetal fab, some patch panel stuff and welded up everything I didn't finish. They did a great job and I'm glad to be over the hump. This will allow me to start hanging fiberglass components and then on to prime.

Raised the floor to tuck in the exhaust.

The fit and finish of these panels turned out nice.

The cowl is all buttoned up and painted now.

Bulkheads are all finished up. These were a pain. I tucked them up,tight to the cowl flange and there is several layers of metal in that area that sometimes make clean welding a little difficult.

Hi, im in the process of raising my floor pans, for exhaust clearance. Just wondering if you used 20 gauge or 18 gauge metal?

Thanks, Sandro

I used both. It has some 18 gauge bracing and flanging but the actual beaded pan is 20 gauge. Plenty solid.
