Drum Roll Please... Pics of my 67 Camaro on 18" Billet Rallyes...

[bigboi]

Well I finally got the car back in working condition - well sorta



Here are a couple pics of the car sitting on the new 18" Billet Rallye Wheels w/ BFG g-Force KDs. These pictures were taken at the Last Run Car Show in Arkansas City, KS.

I plan on bringing down the rear 2" and I need to massage the inner fenders on the front beause the front tires bottom out into the fenders...

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

[MrQuick]

[chicane67]

Schweeeeet...

Now... if I could only get those in a 4.5" width for salt use.

[MrQuick]

"thats a pretty margarita glass you got there"...lol

[Project69]

Nice, did you get your headlights figured out also?

[bigboi]

Welp... I don't have a side shots - Sorry. The car is back in the shop and I'm going to pull out the rear leafs. Once I get the rear end lowered I will take a few side shot pics.

I got headlights in and they are working. I put a separate switch inside the car where so I can flip on/off the little blue light in the headlamp assembly. Looks pretty sweet when you are rolling through the car show parking lot at night.

Tires sizes are 275/40 and 245/40.

Looks good!

Your rubbing in the front? What engine do you have in there? How'd you lower the front???

Thanks.

Yes, the front tires rub on the fender wells. 396 Big Block. I used Heidt's 2" Drop Spindles. The springs are pretty soft so that doesn't help much with the rubbing.

Long term - I want to cut the inner fender wells and weld in some new metal so the lip of the fender is more straight up and down. This should eliminate the rubbing. I will probably put in some bump stops so if the car does bottom out, it will bottom out on the bump stops and not right into the fender.

Short term - I might throw another spring in the front and bring it up about an inch. Just so I can drive it for now.

I saw your car and it looks nice - had mine there as well. I was wearing my PT shirt all day Saturday thinkin I might see another member but no one said anything. There were some real nice cars this weekend

[Smock67]

Those rims make that car mmmmmm.

[Blitz]

Probably my most favorite look of the Camaro. RS grill, black and plus size Rallyes. Damn.

[Patrick]

Nice!!!

Haha... That's too funny man. I actually saw you and was going to say something, but you were busy talking to one of my buddies. I was hanging out with the TPI boys and was wearing a Planet Color Paint T-Shirt. We were the bunch of guys at the booth where the red 67 Mustang was hanging off the back of the trailer. I was the big bald white guy.

Yeh, there were some nice cars there. I wish I could have cruised, but the problem with the front wheels rubbing the fenders stopped me from doing so. I will probably be in Haysville for the next show. If you are there come say Hi. I think the TPI trailer will be there again. Stop by and grab a cold beer.

Yeah, I remember you. Are you employed by TPI? They appear to do some pretty nice work. Kinda of interesting about the custom 69 camaro's they are gonna start building. Understand that a few of the first ones are gonna have actual NASCAR engines in them and will be unveiled at the GM booth at SEMA? We'll definately check that out when we are there (you going?). If I understood the guy correctly, he said that they were going to build (50) camaros's between now and April????

[O'Neall]

Now that I like!!!! Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lawrence]

Absolutely spot on. Sweet.

I'm not employed by TPI. They have done some of the work on my car and I hang out at the shop once in a while with them. They are a good bunch of guys. If you are ever in Wichita, KS you should check out their shop. It's very clean and they do awesome work.

The first 69 they are building is in the shop now. Body, Frame, Suspension, Brakes, and a Mockup Engine are in the car. They will be building 50 69 Camaros for "Childers Racing". The Camaros will have Nascar engines rated at 700hp. Some will be detuned to 600hp - depends on the build. The engines are actualy engines that were used in Nascar races. The engines will go through an nspection/rebuild before going into the car. The first car will be auctioned off at Barrett Jackson. The actual "Series" of these Camaros will be called "Series 3". They will only produce 50 cars for this series.

Yes, one of the Camaros will be sitting in the GM Booth at SEMA. I would like to go, but I need to talk my Wife into going first. Not sure if they will complete 50 cars by April. I think it's going to a be a 2 year build time to complete all 50 cars.

I can tell you one thing. The Camaros are gonna be bad ass!
