Chad's 68 Camaro V3.0 build. LS3 & TCI goodies

Absolutely badass Chad!

I've done searches on this forum, google, etc. As no clear winner emerged I wanted to throw my own question out there.

I'm looking for a shop to do a 6/8 point roll bar in my 68 Camaro. Quite honestly I prefer a shop that has significant experience working with cages for race cars. This is because I want someone familiar with sanctioning body requirements and true safety. Ron's thread has inspired me. In fact I got some recommendations from him on NorCal shops if I can't find someone local.

I want a shop that knows about things like annealing chromoly, mocking up a fixed back seat with appropriate attachment points to the roll bar, drivers head spacing, etc.

Please share any recommendations you have.

There is a shop just down the street from us that you should talk with. They do all kinds of metal fabrication but are very good with chromoly cages as well. They just finished a Nova with all of our stuff under it destined to run deep into the 10's in full street trim.

Mouse is the guy you want to talk to. (909)238-9347

Have you called Eddie's?

I can't wait to run with you guys!! Both track days the past two weekends I was the only classic muscle in attendance and while that is kind of cool I enjoy running with buds a lot more!

Thanks a bunch. As noted in my post above I was going back through this thread trying to find a picture and got caught up rereading some of the trials and tribulations I went through. First of all it was kind of funny to find myself rereading my own build thread and getting caught up in it. Second I got a major thrill and sense of satisfaction, realizing how long it took, to know that I just ran two track days back to back with a combined on track mileage of over 220 miles consistently seeing some high speeds (up to 150mph) beating the snot out of my car and the only failures I had to deal with was one blown relay and a broken hood latch after the event was over. Neither required me to pull out tools.

Man I'm giddy just thinking about it!!!!
