No she wont be ready. I am ordering more parts today! I need a new cluster, I was taken out the old one yesterday and broke the corner off. Also thinking about putting a nitrous kit on there too.

I am changing the gears in the rear and axles. 4.11 gears and 33 spline moser axles.

Glad to see your making progress! Keep the pics coming. :thumbsup:

Progress not yet, I have to make the wife happy first lol.

Nice work Matt. :beers:

Thank you Russ!

Matt - glad to see you're making some progress --- keep pluggin' away --- in the mean time I'll sit back and have a few :beers: :beers: :beers: while I wait for the next update on your project

Lol ty Doug.

Right now I am working alot so I can make a few purchases. Getting the nitrous system, the alternator brackets, the braided oil and trans dip sticks from lakar, the led tail light illumation stripe, new headers, new gears in the rear and axles. *Sign* I think that I need to hit the lotto.

But right now I have been studying for a promotion a work and working alot of hours, working on these credit cards and saving for the wedding in November.

Just crazy, I am having with draws not ordering and not working on the car.

Is there an aa for people like us?

Matt

Hey Matt,
You might mention to your future wife that "a set of BBPT-600 Lemons Headers is an excellent wedding gift for "you":D.

Progress not yet, I have to make the wife happy first lol.

Wow that must take a lot of self-control. Which apparently I dont have. My wife has been angry at me for months! :D

Yea I am pretty sure she wont like the price.

Wow that must take a lot of self-control. Which apparently I dont have. My wife has been angry at me for months! :D


LOL Well I know its for a good cause!

Matt,

Yes keep her happy and you will be happy. Hopefully she is into cars also. That helps. I have been married 27 years to my high school sweetheart, been together since 1974 and I trained her right out of high school about cars. Hell she knows alot about them now that we argue over it. Half the time she is right.

Good luck on the marriage and the car.

Who does the 69 belong to at your house?

Erica doesnt like the build process bc how much money that u are spending. She likes going to ocean city when they cruisers are there. Last year she said she wanted to build a 70 style camaro and wanted it pink. Now this year she wants a truck I was think 67-72 style and gotta be pink.

The 69 is my fathers.

Nice headers Matt!!

I think that they will look great with that chrome parts and that orange block.

Matt,

Have fun getting #5 and #7 spark plugs in. My problem is I have a power booster in the way. It might not be to bad on your car. I have to put #7 plug in from the bottom of the car. I have the 2" ones and mine look a little different. Still nice headers. My car sits low and I hit them all the time.

I see you said earlier that the dropped spindles were coming off,would you not recommend running them,does it sit way to low,did that price include the rack annd everything as a complete unit,thats not a bad price,Thanks

Yes with drop spindles that car sits extremely too low. The transmission pan is about 1inch and a half from the ground. Yes that price did include everything. The only difference from the aston frames is the looks.

here is the new valve covers

how much do you think it will raise it back up with stock height spindles,have you by chance hung your front end back on it yet to see how everything bolts back up.how does the craftsman ship of the front end kit look,welds,parts etc.will the trans crossmember fit any trans since they say its universal cause I want to run a stick in mine,and are there any header clearance problems I have 2 1/8 in hooker headers.Thanks

Alteast 2 inches. yes I put the the front end back on the car. I have to change one thing on the front and that is where the front core bolts to the frame. The crossmember will be welded to the frame. As for headers I will let u know when mine get here and take pics for ya.

U see in the pics that I just post. At the end of the frame u see two sets of weld nutz on mine they are in the wrong spot its no big deal. Just have to be moved. I contacted them about this and they have moved the nutz.

Yes Matt, it is looking good. Keep posting pictures.

Nice!!!:yes:

Wont be doing anything until I get those drop spindles off

Matt,you keep going you will be on the road before me.You know Jeff will even exchange the spindles when your ready....

Matt,you keep going you will be on the road before me.You know Jeff will even exchange the spindles when your ready....

He might...but Dave...yours is the best year for a Pro Street...'69:yes::beers:

The 7-s and 8-s look good but are hard to get low in the rear and the say the quarters are real hard to stretch....

They only way you can stretch a 67/68 is with the fiberglass stretched wheel wells from Harwood. Or have a good body man do his magic work with the metal.

The 7-s and 8-s look good but are hard to get low in the rear and the say the quarters are real hard to stretch....

To stretch the quarters correctly on a '67 or '68,they need to be done with a series of "pie cuts".....picture cutting a pie into slices.They need to be done that way because of the radius of the wheel opening in the quarter.

Matt,you keep going you will be on the road before me.You know Jeff will even exchange the spindles when your ready....

I know I waiting to see if these stock spindles work.

Heres some of my progress no pictures though.I got the new goodmark fender roughed in marker light closed in and the body work done.Its off the car and ready to be cut in the fit is actually better than the G M fender I had on it.Total so far $1100 with no labor but thats free anyway,hope to go to paint buy the weekend of the 4 th.I'm making a little change on the grill this time I'm going to paint the outer perimeter orange instead of the hole thing being black. Give me some opinions on this what you think,my wife seems to think it looked good the way it was. Matt sorry to jump your post, just thought this was the place for it.How you making out.

Dave,

I think it is time to put a RS hidden headlight / grill on the car.

Here is a picture of my car when it had the standard front end on it and the outside of the grill is painted body color. I like it that way.

RS Grill
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/prostreet69camaro/DSC09516.jpg

RS grills are definatly nice maybe down the road its just a little more out of pocket right now. The $1100 that I spent for this mess was to much already.Thanks for the pictures, I'm going to paint the perimeter orange.I got the first coat of primer on it today hope to do some blocking when I get home from work tomorow.

Dave,
I also had the outer perimeter of my grille painted the body color. It adds more depth and makes the grille more noticeable in my opinion. I would paint it.:yes:

On a 69 the grill perimeter always looks WAY better painted in my opinion. :)

Thanks for the input I'm going to paint it for sure....I got the first coat of primer blocked and the body work looks good,second coat of primer on tonight hope to be cutting in on wednesday and painting this weekend....

Cool, Its coming back together.

I was looking thru this post and earlier you said you had a MSD box for the rev control. Now I may be wrong ,someone jump in if I am ,But I thought you needed a 6AL box to have rev control.

I'm here. I havent touched the car since I got the headers. And what do you know they dont fit. The number three tub on the passenger header slams into the fire wall and the drivers side fits but sit right up against the sterring rod. At this current time I am not really worried about anything bc I have been focusing on paying off two bills that I have right now. I have been workin so much these pass couple weeks. I also got a promotion too. I am a sgt. now. So I need to get training completed. So I will be on every now and then. Just taken my time.

Looking good ! I was looking at those mufflers for my 48 and everyone suggested this if you use them and drive them for more than two miles with a decent gear in it you will need to wear head phones driving the car. talked to a guy at a show drove his car 20 mintues there with this exaust and a BB similair to yours he said his ears where still ringing. lol cant wait to see her done keep the photos comming!

I know that u mean. We use to have the same exhaust on a bigger motor in the 69 and u couldnt talk on the phone at all. Sometimes u could talk to the other person in the car. But you couldnt on the throttle at all.

I should be ordering more parts today. The shifter and the Line lock brake.

My car has a CD player and all. I have 2 chamber flowmasters on my car but I ran the exhaust out the back and it is not to bad in the car. All the noise is behind the car. I used to have it dump before the rear end but everytime I pulled in somewhere it blew dust everywhere and it was loud by the tubs. It wa real bad when you had to park on the grass.
