Project 69 Camaro - Lateral-g Forums

Here’s my latest project, a 69 Camaro. I bought the car from California in October 2007 and had it shipped to Pennsylvania. My original plan was to add a new GM crate motor, paint and other small miscellaneous parts. But after going over the car, I decided to do a full restoration. I tore the car down during Thanksgiving and Christmas break and took it to a local restoration shop in January 2008.

Below are pictures taken during the tear down process

Below are some pictures of my Chassisworks front sub-frame. We finished the assembly this morning and bolted it onto the body. The guys at the body shop will start to work on the rear quarters and roof skin next week.

I have to say that the front sub-frame from Chassiworks looks great and it was fairly easy to assemble. Everything I needed to assemble the sub-frame was included and the instruction manual detailed each step. http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_library_7701.html

Looks like you're off to a good start. What other mods are you doing to it?
Keep pics coming

Soon, I will be purchasing a G-bar suspension package, 13” Wilwood disk breaks and FAB 9 rear from Chassisworks. I also plan putting in a GM ZZ 502 crate engine and a Turbo 400 from TCI transmissions.

Here’s a concept picture of my car done by Ben at Hermance Design (http://www.hermancedesign.com). I highly recommend Ben! He was very easy to work with and had a draft to me within 24 hours based on a description and a few pictures. I believe it’s a cost effective way to figure out what you want the car to look like before you drop tons of cash making changes to the car to get it “just right”. Yes…unfortunately I have learned the hard way!

I am trying to go with an old school / modern look.
