How-To & Tech

I have bumper and grill and all neccessary parts but it is under construction.

Ride Specs & Info

Ride Nickname:
67 Camaro

Make:
Chevrolet

Model:
Camaro

Year:
1967

Introduction / Overview:
This is a project I have wanted since my Mom had my Dad sell his 69 18 years ago. I have had it for 2 years and can't find the original photos I took of it. I know you can't tell but it really looks alot better than it did then, but has a really long road ahead of it. I work in the F/R division of a top 6 manufacturer so I am constantly setting new goals for this ride. I want handling and perfomance better than a Z06 and its rivals.

Drivetrain:
Currently none. However I have a mefium journal 327 I am destroking to a 302. I will match that with the Tremec T56 6 speed to 4.11 gears with an LSD.

Chassis:
Currently stock but that will go away in exchange for Global Control arms with SSBC 2" drop spindles and coil overs. I wish I could do an IRS, and maybe in a few years, but I am going to put a 4 link in the rear with coil overs back there as well.

Wheels:

I have not decided on the tires yet, but probably BFG G Force KDWs or Michelin PS2s. The wheels will be a newstaglia looking 20 in the front and 22 in the rear.

Body:
Now flat black rustoleum. In a year the deepest shiniest black with gunmetal ghost flames.

Interioir:
Currently rustoluem gloss black. When finished tweed headliner, premium black floor with a custom upholstered seats.

Lifestyles:
Builder
