69 Camaro v2.0 - Project "Major Havoc"

Thanks Chris for the write ups.

Would it be posible to get a couple of pictures of the trunk bars routing. I see how they mount, but can you get an overall picture of the routing of the bars in the trunk?

Thanks

Sure, I'll take a few more pics when I get home today.

Nice job it looks great in there.

Looking good Chris! Man, I'm sure you're going to be happy with this car once v2.0 is on the road. It's going to be a good performer.

I also can't believe that you discovered some genuine bolt on parts that installed with basic hand tools.

Looks great as usual Chris!

I've heard of latch fittment issue w Autorad, but not yet experienced it myself. You made it look easy tho...

Chris you are the man. Finally someone with better install and tech posts than Todd.

Seriously, she's gonna be the car you've wanted.

I'm trying to get somewhere with this thing, unfortunately somebody keeps changing the map. Appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Matt! I think it'll be a "solid performer with some rear traction issues". A fun street car regardless. Yep, I'm still waiting for a bucket of water to hit me in the face on the bolt-in claim actually being true, especially something with so many mount points and brackets.

Thanks Ron! I'm not sure if you've done a full front-end assembly with your setup yet, but at least you've been warned if you haven't. At least that'll eliminate the surprise and head scratching for you if you bump into the same issue. Possible Cliffs notes for the next guy: move rear holes on latch assembly down 5/8" and trim off excess to allow it to go up into the crossbar slot by 5/8" more, open up slot under upper support crossbar to allow latch assembly to move forward 1/4"-3/8", and open up a few of the holes on the center vertical brace to allow a little wiggle room to get things to fit. Then that focker bolts right in.

Thanks Dave. I don't know, Todd's write-ups are pretty tough to beat. Always loved his details and honesty, peppered with a 'hint' of bravado. Can't wait to see him start a new build and give us some more material.

Look forward to getting through all this 'other stuff' and getting to work on that ZL block. That's the meat right there.

That's it. I'm putting the Cal Trac bars back on.
