Mike Reckley's 67 Camaro Project

[Reckley]

Well I’ve been hanging around Lateral-g for a few years now and have met a lot of great people. Until now I haven’t made much progress on my project so, never posted any pics.

Here it is, my 67 Camaro project. I’m building the car in my garage and plan to do as much myself as possible. To help me along I’ve recruited my Dad who has an extensive knowledge of engine building, machining and overall mechanical and automotive engineering experience. During this project, I’ve learned more about building cars than I would have thought possible. I think my Dad has actually learned a few things as well.

Here are the planned specs for the car

Engine
Stock LS2 with aftermarket camshaft and headers

Drive Train
T56 6-speed
Ford 9 inch housing 3.73 trutac, moser 33 spline axles & strange 12 bolt aluminum carrier.

Suspension / Chassis

Front suspension

DSE upper control (stock mounting position)
Coilover shocks with custom upper mount.
ATS tall spindles
DSE lower control arms

Rear Suspension

DSE Quadralink
DSE minitub

Wheels

Front – 18x8.5 Forgeline ZX3 with 255/35ZR18 Yokohama advans
Rear - 18x11.5 Forgeline ZX3 with 315/30ZR18 Yokohama advans


I’ll begin with what I started with and post pics as the project progresses.

[Reckley]

I'm still undecided on the color but, I doubt I'll go with the some colors.
