I bought my Dorman MC off Amazon and it was aluminum.

Mark,

When you have a chance, could you please post some pics of your roll bar install? From what I see in past pictures, looks like you have a removable harness bar, and the down bars go through to the trunk have smaller off shoots that tie in to the shock cross member. Do those happen to line up with the top of the coil over shocks? Could you provide any insight to your thought process and design of it? Plan on running door bars?

Thanks as always!

John

I called Dorman tech dept. today and gave him the part # listed by Mark and they told me that it is plastic and has been plastic for at least 7 years. Not sure what to think.

Also, I had trouble finding 5/16" OD tubing here locally. I wound up ordering a piece of 316 stainless, 0.065" wall tubing 1' long from McMaster- Carr (PN 89495K405)

I've got all my parts on hand. Will swap out the pedals and master cylinder next week since we are in Covid 19 time out.

Hope this helps.

I just looked on Amazon, no description on what made of.

Amazon has a great return policy so if a plastic one shows up you could probably just send it back.

That’s why I ordered mine from Amazon, free shipping and return policy.

I didn’t have a big enough order to get free shipping from Summit at that time.

I got mine in early February and it has an aluminum body. I’ve already removed the crimped on factory connection and it is threaded just like Mark described.

I was hesitant when I ordered mine also. I figured if it wasn’t metal I would return it and try again from somewhere else.

A trick I have done to a lot of my Camaros. A Caprice license plate holder flips down and cams over. Make it easier to fuel up.

Default Camaro LT5

Sled Alley is working the exhaust. The reason we are building before we paint is so we can modify things if we need to.

This cars are always hard to get the 3 inch exhaust over the rear axle.

On this car we cut into the body to allow the exhaust over the axle to go higher up.

The photos are of the car at full jounce.

Another touch is adding tie down points to the DSE subframe. Makes it easier to tie it down in the trailer.
