Great project, you guys are really doing some fantastic work!

We have a Camaro in our shop on the same chassis that was built at a different shop that we are "reconfiguring" for a new owner.



Be sure you address the pedal height from the floor... the Morrison chassis requires the raised floor to clear the chassis which eliminates the footwell depression. This car is using stock pedals and they now sit to closely to the floor. You hit the clutch / brake just above your heel and the gas pedal is a little strange feeling also.

It's hard to see in this shot, but they are much lower to the ground than in a stock floor.




VS. Stock Floor:



The stock pedal box can't really move upward because of the cowl. We're just getting into this one, but we're adding a hydroboost and a hydraulic clutch, so we're thinking the easier pedal travel will allow us to possibly shorten the pedals without killing the ratio or feel. We have an extra set of stockers we're going to sacrifice to try it out. Otherwise, a different system needs to be employed, possibly reducing the "height" of the chassis member that runs under the footwell allowing for a dropped floor, or an aftermarket pedal box / assembly that is shorter in some way.

Just something to think about in this stage, I'll follow along to see what you come up with. We'll be working on ours soon and will gladly share our findings.

Hey ya'll,

Been working on the Firebird pretty hard and have some more updates for ya'll. Dressed up the engine with the billet specialities assembly.

Working on the exhaust cutouts as well. Going with the Borla XR1.

Hey ya'll,

Got some more updates. Been working on the fenders and hood. Also gapping the doors. Starting to come together nicely. I love the TA hood.

Cool Awesome Hood!

Man that is one gorgeous hood ... who is the manufacture? Did you guys flare the front fenders .... how much did you push it out?

Detailed pixs of the fender flaring would be great if you have any. The car is looking amazing, great work!

Looking great, Eugene. I really think I need to build a 69 bird to share the garage with my 79 next. This build is really pushing me in that direction.
