I'm making progress on my Camaro project. So far it's been a long process working out all the issues along the way. So far so good. There's a lot to describe, I'll make this short.

The only way to install the front suspension unit that I had was to build a completely different sub frame. It worked out great, looks good, and I didn't have to hack anything on the body. I made an oil tank out of the front section of the frame, so part of my plan is to run dry-sump oiling. I also plan on twin turbos, so the sump will cool the oil.

I did so much fab work on the front suspension, I removed the 12 bolt truck axle that I built (for the Z06 wheels) and swapped in a C4 Corvette unit. I built bracketry and bracing to have a true "bolt in" unit. I started with a clean body, so there was no way I would weld anything in permanently. With the exception of drilling 4 holes through the main body structure (can easily be welded back up), it's still a stock body. I wanted to use one of my Muncies, but decided on a Turbo 400 just so I wouldn't have to cut a hole in the floor.
All of my custom parts could be removed and all the stock parts bolted directly back on. If for any strange reason that the car needed to be restored back to stock (I have the engine,trans and 10 bolt in storage).

I have a lot of pictures stored at Webshots for people to check out. There's descriptions below most of the pics, so look closely.

So check out my project and see what you think.
One of these days it'll finally all be assembled, then it'll have to be torn apart for final paint (Porsche Guards red).
I'll update pics as work progresses.

Thanks for looking,
Gene.

I like the utiliziation of the frame as a fluid storage tank. Kinda reminds me of the custom motorcycle builder way of thinking. Maximize the form and function of the space and conceal the "ugly" stuff. Nice work.

I noticed in your web album that you have a picture of Scott's 69 with the name mosmeyerperformance attached?

Hey 68RS-SS. Cool user name. Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah, I've saw a chopper show where one guy used the frame tubes as oil storage. My Honda dual-sport has a dry sump in the front down tube also. I'm just trying to plan ahead as I go and save space where I can.
I made some more progress on my ladder bars in the last week and finished one sub frame connector (so to speak). It'll be part of the frame once they are welded in.

Rich-Allen: Really nice '67. The engine looks bitchen.
That's Scott's Camaro? Do you know him?
One of my friends e-mailed me a bunch of pics of different Camaros a long time ago. They were all really nice, but that one stood out from the rest. I deleted all the others and saved that one in a file and forgot about it. I was transferring files from the old p.c. onto the new one and came across it. I just happen to save it. I add text and I posted it there. I hope I don't offend Scott, or anyone else for using it.
Other than the billet wheels, my car should look similar when it's done. Then again I still can't decide on what stripes I want to go with. Some things will wait to be decided on.

Hi Gene, thanks for the kind words. No problem with the pictures, I though maybe you knew Scott personally.

Scott's car and many like it can be found here, http://lateral-g.net

Nice car Gene,


Rich

Nice cars at Lateral G.
I'll have to take more time and look around. Seeing that makes me want to go out and work on mine.

I now have Scotts car as a screen saver. Even more motivation when I see it.
So that's a computer generated image???
What is the cost of a rendering????
I might eventually have one done of mine. Some cool stuff.

Thanks for the link,
Gene.
