1970 Rally Sport Camaro - Pro Touring

What are the options for 335/30 18 tire with matching 265/35 18 for primarily street driven car?

BFG seems to be the go-to tire

265 Rivals are not (quite) available yet. They were due out early spring but have been pushed back to July last I heard. I had a set on order and finally caved and went with Bridgestone RE11's in the front. Hopefully they will have them available soon.

Well the boys did some construction work on the shop and built the Camaro it's own little room

Right quarter now on permanently, left quarter and drop off removed, left mini tub in place. going to look like a car again very shortly.

QUADRALink, Moser 12bolt, Vaporworkz tank, Magnum T56, LS9 Clutch have all arrived

Subframe, Kore3 Z06 Brakes and some smaller parts on the water now, due here in next 2 weeks.

We used AMD quarters, panel beater was very happy with the fit.

All the AMD stuff has been a good fit. The only bits, outer cowl & trunk drop offs, that I couldn't get from AMD, had fit issues.

Hey Roger,
Great progress! I have a 70 Camaro that needs all of the stuff you are going through too and have a mountain of parts. It is great to see a thread with progress, great photos, etc. Your comments about fitment are appreciated.
I have the DSE tubs, AME front and AME rear triangulated 4-bar to do too. My plan is to pull off the quarters, put in the DSE mini's, put in the new quarters, put in the new tailpan then tackle the rear subframe and floor rebuilt after the body work. Let me know what you think of the order of things based upon your experiences.
Best of luck with it !!

Tailpan was very fiddly. If yours can be repaired I would go that way. If not make sure it is identical to the one you remove, check where fuel tank filler joins and outer trunk floor brackets.

We did it one side at a time, just felt it would maintain better rigidity and we had the other side for reference.

Hi Dave, just so busy, how you doing? Send me an email with any news.
Camaro needed some parts that we thought could be used, and has been a little slower than hoped for. Pulled engine down for refresh but found some things we didn't like. New pistons, cam and some other pieces, you know the drill.
No USA/SEMA trip at this stage . Two large work projects were delayed from October 1 to November 1 launch.
Trying to spend time at the cabin on the river, just back from 4 night stay which was super nice.

Well some progress. Body shell has all panels replaced and final welded, and is sprayed in epoxy primer.
DSE subframe also now fitted













Hopefully all front panels and doors will be installed, and it will go off for installation of, QUADRALink, diff, engine, transmission, subframe connectors. This will conclude required cutting to floor.
Then will continue with assembly for mock up.

Also was able to collect wheels from shipping company yesterday.
Forgeline RB3
Front - 18 x 9.5" with 5.875" backspace
Rear - 18 x 12" with 8" backspace
Satin black Centre with brushed hoop




Rear tires due here Tuesday, so will get fitted and will be ready for test fitting with diff.

Still need to get radiator, decide on front drive and intake.
