700 HP 1969 Camaro 540 BBC “Do-Under” Gets All New Underpinnings At V8 Speed & Resto

[oestek]

Some say these cars are never finished, and that holds true especially when a modified car changes hands. In this case, our customer purchased this killer 1969 Chevrolet Camaro as a freshly completed Pro-Touring machine complete with a slick silver paint job and a very cool red leather interior, but the 700+ HP 540-cube Shafiroff big block Chevy and 6-speed T-56 Magnum transmission are a bit much for the otherwise stock suspension. The huge torque easily overpowers the rear tires, and the handling isn’t up to the expectations of the owner. So, the car was sent to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop so our crew could take the suspension, rear axle, wheels, tires, brakes, and a few other areas of the car to the next level. The big challenge - installing a complete Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension and front subframe, wheel tubs, Currie Enterprises rear axle, Forgeline wheels, Toyo Tires, Holley EFI, and more without damaging the beautiful silver paint or messing up the body panel fit. After all, something that looks this good should have the moves to match!

Like every car that arrives in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, and our first task is always to perform a thorough inspection. We prepare a 10 page inspection form which gives us a good reference point on how the vehicle arrived in the shop, and provides the customer for an overview on the car’s shape. We also take a substantial amount of photographs documenting the condition, which provide a reference point not only of how things were put together, but also if there were any nicks or scratches or blemishes on the car when it arrived.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_021516_0063JPG-1.jpg

This is a really nice car, but we did find a few things to address here and there, like crushed fuel lines and the occasional chip & scratch.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_021516_0083JPG-1.jpg

Some of the wiring and plumbing would benefit from some detailing and cleaner routing.

540 cubes of rich-running big block fury!

Short exhaust misery… this one was loud and the lack of tips made a big mess when the car was idling.

Our customer had a pretty solid plan for what he wanted done to this car, so we put the part list together and began to order parts.

[oestek]

This was kind of fun… an AN fitting installed with electrical tape. On a high pressure fuel line. Not something you want to have, as this thing could have let go and sprayed fuel all over the hot engine causing a big fire.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_030216_0041JPG-1.jpg

The plan called for installing a Detroit beat QUADRALink rear suspension which involves cutting the floor, so the interior needed to come out. The rear seat would also need to be narrowed as we are installing larger wheel tubs.

Our team carefully disassembled the rich red leather custom interior and we carefully wrapped, labeled, and stored in these pieces to keep them safe.

This car had a layer of some type of foam insulation that was glued to the back of the carpet, so it made quite a mess coming out.

...revealed more of the sticky foam sound deadener.

Fuel tank and exhaust out of the way…

Most of the work was to be done on the bottom side of the car, so we wrapped the entire outside of the car with several layers of protective film and weld and 3M spark paper to keep it from getting damaged during the process. We also wrapped the dashboard and wrapped headliner to protect it from stray sparks. This paper isn’t cheap, but it’s far cheaper than paint repairs on a nice car!

The car was rolled into the fabrication center where Adam began the chassis disassembly process.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032316_0004JPG-1.jpg

He unbolted the stock rear leaf spring suspension, brakes, and drives haft and slid the 12 bolt rear axle out of the way. We had ordered a Currie Enterprises 9+ rear axle assembly and to take it’s place, but the first task was to install the QUADRALink brackets and narrow the rear frame rails.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032316_0005JPG-1.jpg

[oestek]

Soon, the cutting begins on the inner wheel tubs to make room for the Detroit Speed mini-tubs. The rear frame rails will be narrowed as well.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032316_0002JPG-1.jpg

We did not anticipate touching the outer wheel wells, but removing the undercoating revealed some previous repairwork that made us adjust the plan. Typically, we would have removed and replaced the outer tub upon this discovery, but that would require repainting the quarter panel where it meets and welds to the wheel house.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032316_0006JPG-1.jpg

This second outer seam is not normally present on these cars.

The driver side had a similar repair.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032916_0001JPG-1.jpg

After cutting out the previous repair, it was determined that a replacement strip should be welded in place of the old repair. This would preserve the outer wheel house, and this time, it would be metal finished to blend in and the repair would be undetectable.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032916_0006JPG-1.jpg

Forming the new strip

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032916_0005JPG-1.jpg

The new piece was made on the shrinker / stretcher to bend a 90 degree piece around to match the wheel tub shape.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032916_0008JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_032916_0010JPG-1.jpg

The new strip was resistance spot-welded to the original welding flange on the new DSE deep tub, and then welded to the original outer tub with a series of tack welds all the way around.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_033016_0003JPG-1.jpg

Here, you can also see the finished narrowed frame rail.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_033016_0008JPG-1.jpg

After grinding, the seam is invisible, but the original wheel tub seam is present.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040116_0006JPG-1.jpg

The trunk floor was recessed to accommodate the wider tub.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040116_0008JPG-1.jpg

[oestek]

Next, the process was repeated on the driver side.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040116_0010JPG-1.jpg

Some filler was found in the trunk floor, so the area was investigated to assess structural integrity.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040716_0003JPG-1.jpg

After some cleaning and grinding, some corrosion holes were uncovered.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_041816_0001JPG-1.jpg

The cabin floor was marked for trimming to accommodate the wider wheel tub.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040716_0007JPG-1.jpg

The rusty area of the trunk and cabin floor was cut out.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/03/1969_Camaro_LA_040716_0012JPG-1.jpg

The HTP resistance spot welder is used where the electrodes can access the panels, and the remaining welds are traditional plug-style welds.

More body filler was found in the trunk floor in the location where the new rear crossmember will be installed. The crew hoped that this was confined to the area of the trunk floor that would be cut out.

At this point, we turned attention to the front of the car. The stock GM Camaro subframe was going to go in favor of a Detroit Speed Hydroformed subframe. We elected to drop the stock subframe complete with 540 cube V8 with the front sheetmetal in place, with the goal of not having to remove, reinstall, and realign the panels if we didn’t have to.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_050916_0001JPG-1.jpg

The body was placed on the lift and protected with spark paper. All the fluids were drained from the engine, the wiring harnesses were disconnected, brake lines separated, coolant hoses pulled, the A/C charge was evacuated and the lines disconnected. The body bolts were loosened from the subframe, and the car was carefully raised up off the subframe.

Next, the housing and axles were treated to a bath in Imron industrial urethane. That’s more like it!

The engine was next to receive some attention. This monster ran hard, but had developed a few leaks in addition to the clutch / flywheel issues. The hood clearance was tight, and the owner requested a different intake and EFI system to be installed as we re-gasketed the engine.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051016_0043JPG-1.jpg

Intake removed and gasket surfaces cleaned and ready for new Holley intake.

“Big” roller cam, ported Dart heads, lots of power to be made here.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051616_0017JPG-1.jpg

The intake was upgraded with some new squirters from Injector Dynamics.

Here, the billet Holley throttle body, fuel rails, sensors, stat housing, and MSD distributor are in place.

We elected to swap the hard line for a braided crossover -6 hose for better flow, and a blacker look.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051716_0033JPG-1.jpg

A quick flip to replace a leaky pan gasket and to have a look-see at the bottom end… what’s that on the pickup screen?

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051916_0004JPG-1.jpg

Someone went a little strong with the silicone on assembly, and remnants were stuck to the oil pump pickup screen.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051916_0001JPG-1.jpg

We made sure to scrape all the excess goo from the pan rails, and used far less on reassembly.

One powdercoated Detroit Speed hydroformed subframe. Here, Tara is installing new Baer 6-piston brakes on the spindles.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/04/1969_Camaro_LA_051716_0035JPG-1.jpg

Incidentally, Tara came to our shop as a summer intern from an automotive tech program at a local college. She did well in our shop, and became the first recipient of our V8 “Holeshot” Scholarship. She is now finishing up an Automotive Technology degree at Southern Illinois University. Unfortunately for us, she won’t be back as an intern, as she’s got a summer gig lined up at GM in Detroit! Yep, THAT GM! Way to go Tara!

Thanks! The '73 TA is a cool car, it was in for some maintenance.

[ryeguy2006a]

Thanks, coming from the guy with LSX in his avatar, LOL! We've got more to come. Thanks again for the kind words!

The funny thing is, I have been seriously thinking of pulling my LS motor out and putting in a Big Block and this build might just give me the motivation to do it!

[oestek]

Next, the crew reinstalled the painted QUADRALink components, rear shocks, Currie axle, and Baer brake rotors.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_052616_0017JPG-1.jpg

Yellow tape snippets are there to protect pieces during assembly, and also to serve as reminders for things that need to be tightened or filled.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_052616_0022JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_052616_0021JPG-1.jpg

The wheel tubs are yet to be coated with their final treatment.

[oestek]

Up front, a new Centerforce DYAD clutch is installed and the T-56 Magnum 6-speed is bolted to the bellhousing.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062216_0001JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062216_0002JPG-1.jpg

The DYAD clutch assembly can hang on to 1300 ft. lbs. Of torque, so it should be quite happy behind this big block Chevy. We like these because they also offer a fairly light clutch pedal operation even with the high clamping force.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062216_0005JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062216_0007JPG-1.jpg

[wfo guy]

Looking good. Was there an obvious reason for the pilot bearing failure?

[oestek]

Looking good. Was there an obvious reason for the pilot bearing failure?

The determination was that the clutch got really hot at some point and burned all the crease out of the bearing. The alignment looked OK, but the pocket was full of dust when we took it apart. Seems happy now, however.

[oestek]

Next, the engine and DSE subframe were installed. The subframe was placed on stands, and the car lowered down over it and aligned.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062716_0007JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062716_0010JPG-1.jpg

Moroso fabricated valve covers were added for a cleaner look.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062716_0013JPG-1.jpg

We patched the previous hole in the transmission tunnel, so a new hole was drilled for the shifter.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062816_0017JPG-1.jpg

The team ran wires for the Holley EFI system.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062916_0020JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_062916_0022JPG-1.jpg

The firewall was chosen as the mounting point for the ECM, as there was limited room under the dash with the Vintage Air A/C system and the customer did not feel the need to have us modify and lengthen the harness if it wasn’t crucial.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_063016_0024JPG-1.jpg

After some re-routing, the wire harness begins to clean up.

Under the car, the exhaust connections were made. This car came in with a 3” exhaust system, but we needed to modify the system to fit the new subframe and rear suspension. We also wanted to tuck the mufflers up to the floor a bit tighter.

The transmission cross member and driveshaft loop are obstacles in the front of the system, and the DSE QUADRALink makes for a challenge out back.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_070116_0003JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_070116_0005JPG-1.jpg

We started at the header collectors and the V-Band clamps.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_070516_0006JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_070516_0008JPG-1.jpg

The mid-pipes were tacked in place, reusing the Black Widow mufflers. The position of the H-pipe was dictated by the transmission cross member.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_070616_0009JPG-1.jpg

[oestek]

Tail pipes were made to snake through the QUADRALink rear suspension and utilized V-Band clamps.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_071116_0009JPG-1.jpg

The whole system was TIG welded together.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_071116_0011JPG-1.jpg

These systems are a tight fit, so they take time to build.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_071216_0016JPG-1.jpg

[oestek]

The turn-down is barely visible from the rear of the car.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/05/1969_Camaro_LA_071216_0018JPG-1.jpg

We wrapped the tail pipes in DEI wrap to help keep heat away from the fuel tank.

Topside, it was time to coat the new steel with some Axalta epoxy and black Imron polyurethane.

The new trunk floor, and DSE wheel tubs and shock crossmember were cleaned and prepped for epoxy and paint. The body was completely masked.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_072016_0032JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_072016_0034JPG-1.jpg

The tubs were seam-sealed and paint-prepped inside the car.

Soon the new Forgeline ZX3P wheels arrived. These are 19 x 11.5” rears with 6” BS, Satin Gunmetal finish with fully brushed / cleared lip. The fronts are 18 x 10” with 6.125” BS. We think they look killer on this car, and they really frame the Baer calipers and rotors nicely!

The owner wanted upgraded instrumentation in the car, so we approached the dashboard next. First, the top of the dash required some refinishing, so it was stripped, bodyworked, and then went into the paint booth for a re-spray.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_082316_0005JPG-1.jpg

Next, a Detroit Speed steel dash face insert was used to house a full set of Autometer Carbon Fiber Gauges. We’ll install Volts, Fuel, Speed, Air / Fuel, RPM, Oil Pressure, Temp, and Vintage Air A/C controls in this panel.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_081716_0001JPG-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_082316_0009JPG-1.jpg

All holes cut, bodywork done and sprayed in satin charcoal to compliment the trim colors on the car.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/06/1969_Camaro_LA_090616_0011JPG-1.jpg

There was a thought to go with a carbon fiber Anvil rear wing, but the owner decided against it and went back to silver.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/07/1969_Camaro_LA_100516_0011_JPG-1.jpg

It looked cool, but it’s all a matter of personal preference.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/07/1969_Camaro_LA_100516_0036JPG-1.jpg

Finally the wheel tubs were detailed with epoxy, and Imron.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/07/1969_Camaro_LA_101716_0005JPG-1.jpg

We set the ride height and had the car aligned, put a new base calibration in the Holley ECM, and took it out for a spin! Looks sweet!
