1969 Camaro Restomod Project Thread - Lateral-g Forums

Did a little work this weekend and got a few more parts coming today (year one sales and such).
Front and rear glass got installed on Friday. Guy came to the house and installed it in my garage while I watched. He uses a rubber gasket as I dislike the stainless trim. I do have to use the factory stainless windshield molding but that's PC black and will be installed soon.

After that was done, I took on the challenge of swapping out the front springs to a taller and stiffer spring. I was maxed on the coilover and wanted to get more adjustability. I went to a 7" 650lb/in spring from a 6" 600lb/in. Added some camber to the front and replaced the ugly standard shims with a nice set of billet anodized ones from DSE (why not right?).

Ride height is ok. Didn't rub going into same parking spot.

Also got the seats mounted fully and the seat belts (lap only for now) in the car. I'll do the shoulder harnesses when I get the rear bar back in the car.

Nice to see it coming together, It's got to feel good knowing when it goes in it's staying. Looking good.

Yea not too crazy and definitely less expensive than flush mount. I think it's a nice middle ground solution.

Unfortunately I won't have the funds to have stuff done, so everything will have to be done by myself. Luckily I possess ( I hope) the skills to weld/fabricate a lot of items, that need to be custom.
On a side note, are you on FGCC on FB?

Yes I am. Hit me up on there as it's easier to answer some questions.

Car is looking great Will.

How do you like the Holley Dominator? Is it really a plug and play set up? I've been pondering on the Holley HP system, especially when it's currently 10% off.
