This is MY 67 Camaro

[Beach Cruiser]

Looking good! I'm a master Redneckery tech! I've spent more time rigging up stuff than building!

I like your definition I would add "Safely" though!

I hear ya!



Been doing a little of this and that ... after the rear was installed I test fitted the brakes with Jay Miller's hybrid floater kit and wanted to run calipers in the front and Jay suggested I could swap sides and that should work ... yep! Got some epoxy and paint on the hubs while I had them out, I have to do the fronts still, I hate to see rust start here!

Been raining for so long [again] but Sat was nice so I went over to Marina for the American AutoX series opener with Art, he brought his SS/RS and got 4 runs in. Mary was there with her Camaro, man she is fast and smooth!!!

So got the hood as straight as I could, OCD is a b***ch and the vents have a home now! You won't see the defects under a wrap anyhow!



Detailing the hubs!

Art's Camaro looking good!

Everyone knows this rocket ...

Pretty sure there is some negative camber in those rear tires!!!

I'm calling this good enough!

Passenger side ... gonna look like this!

The brake thing was bugging me cuz I know it's been done on all Mark's cars, granted he makes his own floater adapter, but I stared at pics of Mayhem and noticed the difference and off I went!!

Anyway, weather is good for now so I'm gonna finish some painting stuff and hopefully get the subframe under the car real soon!

Thanks for looking ...

Happy Valentine's Day ... hope you spent some time with your sweetheart as I did! Been a long day taping and cleaning, and I'm so tired of masking of this Camaro and spraying epoxy, last round before wrapping!

Take a look ...












Thanks for looking ...

I am waiting on my sway bar axle brackets from RT, seems I misplaced the originals,huh? And my rear axle alignment tools should be here soon so I can get the brackets welded in place for good.

Not much of an update but it's progress .... thanks for looking!

Looks great man! I like your choice of suspension!

Thanks! I was out of SPI epoxy so I bought local PPG brand ... should have used a reducer cuz I had some dry spots where it didn't blend too well, oh well!

Thanks John!


Thought I'd share some pics of my rotor wash ... with zinc phosphate. I used POR15's Marine Clean first and then their Metal Prep with water rinse in between, and then a light scuff with a red scotch brite!


A good scrubbing with Marine Clean!

Submerged in Metal Prep and working ...

Comes out kinda dark after the rinse ...

light scuff w scotch bright pad all better!

These vanes where filthy and were sure to rust ... not no more!

Figured I'd better get this done now before I bolt it together and then they start to rust, thanks for looking ....

So the POR15 metal prep leaves a zinc coating on the rotors that won't rust or resists rust?

Coming along great with the car.

Thanks, yes the POR15 Metal Prep leaves a zinc phosphate coating on the rotor. I've used it for bolts before with great results so why not the rotors? Let them sit in the tub for 25 minutes to get the results I had ... no rusty rotors for this girl!

Flashback Friday ...


I hate rust!

Second side always comes out better!

Looks like a drunk did this one ... the trunk was sacrificial first!

Didn't quite make it to the end there!


Messing with self-leveling seam sealer on the drip rails and trunk ... lessons learned 1. FILL the void and the stuff will level bank to bank and 2. 10 minutes drying time is short and stop messing with it before you make it worse, lol.

So I'll have to sand some and re-apply to fill voids, and the driver's side A-pillar didn't flow all the way to the end ... passenger side DID, too much in the channel so I cut it with a razor and will conform with sand paper.

That's all for today, thanks for looking ...
