Default '67 Camaro SCCA build

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted much but have been doing a lot of reading on this site over the past year or more. Learned a lot of great things from the experiences of the generous members here.

Bought my '67 Camaro yesterday and am finally about to get started. Since I'm on a lot of different message boards, I've decided to detail the build on my own site, this way I only have to update a single message board instead of several.

Here's the link:
http://www.rhoadescamaro.com/build

If you have any questions about it, feel free to email [email protected]

Thanks again to everyone for all you've shared!

Nice... I'm not sure I'd drive a car w/out a gas gauge though... LOL!

Nice story so far. It will be neat to see a Camaro built for dedicated autox.

Still a long long way from completion, but I did pick up the motor last weekend and got a couple vids of it on the dyno. Started an analysis of the front suspension also, a few posts down.

Great Job Jason. I really like the alternative approach you're taking to solving some of the 1st Gen's inherent shortcomings, particularly the sway bars! Well done sir.
