1967 Camaro RS/SS Vert | RS Spec Chassis | Wegner LS7 | Pro Touring

[jchurchtx]

Hi Guys,

Been meaning to get this up here for awhile, but here's my 1967 RS/SS Camaro Vert pro touring build. This has been a dream car of mine since I was a kid and have been spending way too much time watching the autocross/racing world from the sidelines so had to finally track down and build this car up. It was a perfectly good running car (Texas Car), which everything worked in besides the horn, and started to tear it down about 6 months ago to start the build. I've done all the breakdown and metal prep work in my 1 car garage here in Austin. Working with CHRA in Andice/Georgetown to help with the re-assembly. Michael Kaiser who runs the place has been great to work with. I'll outline the build below

Long overdue update here. Car is coming along nicely with the help of CHRA on some finish out fab work. Michael and the team there are A+ and awesome to work with. Going to add updates out of order but here is some of the buildout on putting a Holley 12.3 Digital dash in a 67. Haven't seen this done (Seen Franks badass ones for 69's) before but the current progress is looking awesome!189740189741189742189743189744189745189746 189747189748

Did you use the fuel tank from Roadster shop? If so have you worked out your fuel tank vent setup? Trying to figure out what to do with mine.

What kind room you got between your wenger accessories drive and the c and r radiator and fan lot? I've got the C and R, but not yet Installed and I'm about to either do Holley MidMount but preferred is the Wenger. Just want to make sure I have enough room for the Wenger Drive
Your build is looking superb. I'm a similar setup, LS7, Speedtech front and rear, C and R, vintage AAW etc.

Custom piece- but I can ask if they could make another for a price!

Plenty of room Jason- I'll see if I can get it measured for you next week but you should be good.

I have the Double Pass Radiator with Module LS 13 Plate w/EOC PSC w/Dual 11″ Spal Fans as an FYI.

I'm pretty sure roadster shop sources their tanks from Ricks here in TX. I went to them direct and told them my config and they guided me through everything.

Here's the config for reference/part #:

Stainless tank for
1967-1968 Camaro on
RS spec chassis.
Straps. Sending unit
90 ohms. Vaporworx
with Camaro ZL-1
pump.


070810 1967/1968 GM F Body
stainless steel tank
with Vapor Series and
Camaro ZL-1 pump




100091 Rick's 6.50" tube style
fuel level sending unit.

Few updates on the interior.

Custom door panels with race tech door pulls and lokar (not pictured) bits.

Need to decide on bead rolling and/or punching some holes in it. Rear panels look awesome!

Thank you. I was just looking for how you planned to do the vent line. I have a 3/8' NPT thread where the vent will originate from. I cobbled something together and made my own filter and a rollover valve on the end. Just curious what more clever people have come up with.

Another nice first gen build! Love to see all the Fab work and the progress updates!

Looks great!
