My new '69 Camaro - Lateral-g Forums

**Stielow** · #1 11-28-2008, 02:45 PM

If you call Jackass number 11 then my new project is 12. I've been kicking around names but I have not landed on a great one yet. Charlie helped me find this car in CA. It was a very rust free original CA car. It was on Ebay and Charlie drove over to look at it for me and made the deal. (Thanks Charlie).

The car will be very much like Camaro X with a few small changes.

LS7 with a new cam (should be around 580 HP)
GMPP controller (Stock GM controller)
T-56 Camaro Trans
DSE Front Clip (So I can use a stock oil pan on the LS7)
DSE Rear suspension
DSE Mini Tubs
Brembo Brakes
Fikse Wheels (18 x 10 front and 18 x 13 rear)
Toyo Tires (275 front and 335 rear)
ABS brakes (This is a science project)
Red Paint

A combination of Thrasher / Camaro X

The car is at Reiter's right now getting the metal work done. Only two small spots of rust. When I tore the car down it was all original but wore out. It is getting harder to find un-restored car.

Sounds like yet another great build/outline! I can't wait to see the wheel/tire package, I loved the way the CCW's looked on the Mule in those sizes! ABS, very cool! I look forward to the updates!!

Good looking helper Mark! What is the target date for paint? Does this mean you have two cars to get ready for Power Tour?

wow what a clean start..what vintage abs stuff are you going with, seems like late 90's buick, olds platform is easy to work with, but will you have a body control module like other late model stuff??-Chris
