Default A 67 Camaro @ Ironworks??????

Well we picked up a 67 RS/SS 3 weeks ago from Rich Allen in Martinez Ca. Since we picked it up we have made our own mini tubs so we could get the car to sit where we wanted. You will notice the radius is tighter then stock. It looks like a 315 may fit under the rear at the ride height we have. We got the Ls2 Rich had built a while back. We installed it and are looking to get a Procharger on this engine her in the next week. We have 2 plans that should get it on there with the Synister bracket systems. We got the subframe connectors installed today from DSE. The Mattison Radiator is a really nice piece. We also cleaned up the front valance and are working on tring to decide exactly how we want to modfy the bumpers. You will see the mods we already made in the pics. I would say we are heading in the right direction. I really dig the stance we got on the car and think we can get the exhaust over the axle pretty easy. We will begin building the exhaust here pretty soon and fine tuning some details before we get some paint on this Camaro....... This is kind weird to say that.

Rich had collected some of the very best parts avalible for this build and we are honored to be able to put this bad boy togther for him. He is trying to decide between either the Fikse 13 spokes or the 11 spoke HRE wheels. We will be running BFG rubber. It has ATS spindles on the front with Some Wilwood SL6's and SL4's.

Let me know how you think we are doing for some guys who weld the car to the chassis table to begin work. This seems a little strange to not order 10 stick of DOM tubing to start a project.

The stance is wicked! I'm jealous!!

The work on the lower valance is awesome. Looks clean and not overly done.

Looks good Rodger! Like what I see so far!! Will you be using a front bumper? How about turn signal location? What's the car going to end up looking like...does Rich have a rendering done yet? Paint color, trim, ect?

Keep up the great work!!

Thanks Bud, but we have the mockup bracket that we cut out on the water jet pretty much dialed. I need to cut one more bracket with a small few small adjustments and we should be set. If you have some Synister connections how about a copy of the instructions, I have a smallbox of left over small parts and for the life of me I cannot figure where they go or for that fact find anyone who has some instructions or will send me a copy.

Thanks

John, Brian has moved from the couch to the spare bedroom, Jake, Brians buddy, we was on couch duty, but he slept like a baby after a few coronas.
