'69 Camaro Temper

[CamaroAJ]

Well I lost my shop space to be able to work on my car so I don't know when I'll be able to find somewhere to work on it or where. Maybe someday the car will get done. I went ahead and finished welding the frame rails to the body and supporting the trunk supports so I could take the car off the frame rack to get more room in my trailer. It looks pretty good on the ground, this is the first time its been on its on feet with this configuration. rocker height currently is 5 3/4".

It does look great on the ground - once you get past the wheels!

Too bad about losing the shop space, as changing in the middle of a build has to be a major hassle. Plus it looks like you had Grade A space.

I'm so impressed I didn't even notice the wheels! lol

Wow big step forward.
I hope you find a new space soon.

It was, the shop has A/C and all my tools are here.

Thanks, I'm hoping I can too so I can put my bead roller to use with some sheet metal work.

I wish I could afford the pay cut to build cars instead of fix them, that would be awesome.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that somebody from this community is going to chime in and say "hey, Camaro AJ, I wouldn't mind having you manipulate your metal in my indoor real estate, and I'm not too far down the road, Bro." That might sound kind of weird, but hey, there's help here when you need it. This project's too cool to get killed at this point!

Not much of an update as I still have no where to work on my car. I did score a LSA core that has a spun #1 rod bearing. A dealer in Houston replaced an oil pan gasket on it and used RTV all the way around the pan. It made it to San Antonio before the oil pick up clogged and starved the #1 rod of oil. I’ll post some build pictures of that as I go along. It’s going to be a mild build, stock rods and pistons, LS3 dry sump crankshaft, cam, pulleys, and a ported blower using an LS9 snout. Shooting for around 700 flywheel hp, pretty easily attainable.
