1967 Project PO-maro
Ok so after lurking on here for better than a few days I have finally decided to post up my project. Be advised this is a LONG term project, suspension has been in the works for a few years and I am now just finaly being able to get it all put together.
"POR-Maro" cause I have a tight budget. It's 25 bucks every two weeks. And 1/3 of any overtime I work. So most of the income for thise project has been from selling other toys or parts.
This Camaro is a plane Jane 67, that has a 96" LT-1 and T-56 out of a newer camaro. There's lots of rust! working on that, so don't be offended if you see pictures with rust that has just been welded over and painted. I have a 7month old daughter that takes a ton of time so the goal of this current project is to just get it on the road and driving within the year. Then maybe a few smaller projects to upgrade a few things.
OK on with the pictures!
This is how I bought the car 10 years ago. Like most I have been discovering rust ever since. The current project is replacing the rear suspension, going from leaf to a combination of DSE, BMR, Fays, and other ideas gained from lurking on these forms for so long. Please feel free to add ideas or critique things that might not work, as I'm learning something new with every step I take. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, they will get better as my phone camera improves.

Starting off with a 78' lincon Mark VIII axle, 50 craigslist find, cut off all of the brackets and installed new berrings. The pumpkin was cleaned and had a TruTrack with 3:73 coggs installed, 31 spline axles that were found at Dutchmans Motorsports in Portland. All of this was done years ago and has been just slowly moving around the shop waiting on more parts.

and with the new axle I upgrade to disks for free! Well maybe, since I'll need to get a more aggressive proportioning valve, and I have no idea if these brakes will even be able to be adjusted to work with the stock front brakes =/ but that'll be another project down the road.... Those are also the stock Rotors for the Ford that I re-drilled 5X4.75.
