my low dollar build

[corvettekid1973]

I just wanted to share a couple pictures of my build. Its not finished but it's close to being drivable. My friend Rob Raymer tuned the motor for me tonight. I'll do a little more detailed post later. Im happy for having right at 20k total

[Jerems]

That's a pretty sweet street fighter look you got going on. Doesn't matter how much you spent on it as long as you enjoy it!

LS3? What tranny you running?

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks man. Its just a aluminum 5.3 with real LS6 heads and intake going through a T56 and 9" with 411's. I will put a cam in it but I just wanted a fun reliable car.

[NOT A TA]

I like the "raw" look! Should be a lot of fun. Is that a battery cut off switch on the dash?

[bs46488]

I like it!

Keep it up.

[corvettekid1973]

Yeah I was going for the more road race style. Supposedly battery cut off is supposed to be within reach of the driver

[Motown 454]

Nice job, glad to hear you'll get to enjoy it soon.

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks a ton guy's

[ill steez]

Perfect build! Would much rather have this than some of the $100k builds I've seen. Enjoy the hell out of it!

[OutrnNAScaR14]

Thing is SWEET! Love the aero and wheels. What rear tires are those?

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks. Im building it to be a driver. The rear is 17x11 with 315/35/17's

[jdeliveryguy]

I love this build,I too am doing a budget build. How did you fit those tires front and rear.Any mods?

[jdeliveryguy]

forgot to ask what size is the front tire

[CampbellshotrodsAZ]

I like it! It's got all the right parts, while presenting an all business, Mad Max type look!

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks guys. The front are 17x8.5 with 245/45/17s using 2.25 wide spacers. The rear is mini tubbed so i used 2 inch spacers on the rear and still can go a inch wider

[LS7 Z/28]

Really cool project dude. Have fun with it.

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks I appreciate it

Very nice, seems like everyone on these sites are doing first gen Camaros, good job making yours stick out from the norm.

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks. Yeah there are definitely tons of 1st gen F bodies. But I have loved them since my dad had one when I was a lil rug rat lol . So I had to follow my heart.
My car was a roller that someone was making a street/strip car out of and already had the sheet metal dash. That's where I came up with the road race/ street fighter idea. I am happy with it. My car should definitely stand out from the rest

[corvettekid1973]

Got it out on the road finally. ... still some bugs to iron out but still pretty happy

[camarodude87]

I love it man, looks a lot like mine. So you had to tub the rear to get those wheels to fit. Im looking to sell my ridler wheels to get some fbody/vette wheels. You think you could fit 9.5's in the back without tubbing? and what size spacer are you running? Also where did you get those bars for the front and rear spoilers?

[camarodude87]

thanks

[corvettekid1973]

Yeah it was mini tubbed. Im using 2 inch spacers on the back.
I have read on here about people fitting 10.5 inch wheels on the back so 9.5 should be no problem.
I made the support bar's out of turn buckles I got at Ace Hardware

[JEFFTATE]

That is a really good looking car ,
It kinda reminds me of what I want to do with my '69 .

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks I drove it to work today.. 1st trip on the highway and it went great

[camarodude87]

Hows it going? Just curious if you had a link to where you got your spacers for the front? Thanks again, Ray

[corvettekid1973]

Did some small upgrades. Wheels and some satin paint that's not perfect lol127245127246

[David Sloan]

Glad your still plugging away at it!

[corvettekid1973]

Thanks man I appreciate it
