Schwartz 1967 Camaro convt

[jeff s]

Another complete build project is underway for a customer in NY. It's getting one of our Schwartz Camaro full chassis and a Schwartz built LS3, viper six speed, polished Forgelines, etc.
Target competion is late spring 2009
Here's what we're starting with.

[Motown 454]

It looks like a nice car . Is it as good as it looks?

[chevelle19700]

looking forward to seeing it finished

[Chevrolaine]

Sounds like a nice project, but I'd drive it just the way it is til death also!

[Bow Tie 67]

I saw this car at Jeff's this summer, it looks very solid. Jeff do you have a target HP for the LS3? will it be injected?

[jeff s]

The car came from Bull Head City AZ, looks like it's had some metal work, floors, 1/4's etc, It's restored, driver quality. 327 2 bbl. powerglide.
Probably not an AZ car it's whole life. Target HP is around 600-620,
I promised 550hp. The engine is ready to dyno now, I'll get to that in a couple weeks as I have a couple more LS3 and a couple LS7's to assemble.

[jeff s]

So far this car's LS3 made 555 hp with our custom grind cam, our tune in the ecu and 103mm MAF.
The body turned out to be crap, we ordered a new body from Year One.

UGH! you shoulda called your buddy Frank!

Good luck, we just finished a new body and really liked it OK. Sure I can bitch about little things, but all in all..............

[jeff s]

Sorry Frank, didn't know you handled Dynacorn.

[jeff s]

The 1st gen camaro full frame chassis.

[jeff s]

The Dynacorn body finally arrived this week. We'll start mini-tubbing and fitting the chassis soon.

[ponjohn]

How far gone was it? How are people registering the dynacorns bodies, as customs?

Hope you didnt scrap it.

[1971CHEVELLE]

Chassis is looking good:)

[jeff s]

this one came with a vin and cert of origin. In IL I can title it as a 67, the year it represents. Same way you title a 32 ford or 65Cobra in IL

Jeff-

The upper brackets on the rear axle of this car look a lot shorter than the ones in this other thread. I realize the other car has a different rear end, but the geometry of the brackets should be similar.

Did the design change improve the ride height? What is the distance from the centerline of the axle to the trailing arm bolts?

Have you made any other changes to the chassis design?

My observation as well, Did the design change with this chassis? becuase this is clearly not the same set up that has been offered in the past

[1970cuda]

jeff keeps making them better and better.

[winfield69]

jeff keeps making them better and better.

That really does not answer the question.

So the new setup is "better" than the old. How good is it on an absolute scale now? I know how well the old design works.

[jeff s]

This one is nearly complete.

More pics on our site below.

[dmc69]

what color blue is this?

[jeff s]

what color blue is this?
Factory color for a 67, not sure number.

[jeff s]

The LS3 in this one made 555hp on the engine dyno. Started it up in the car today.

Jeff

Car looks awesome, nice fabrication too.

May I ask where you are sourcing the supplies necessary to fabricate the cold air intakes?

Thanks

[dropit69]

hey Jeff i have a 69 dynacorn with a coo..and the sec of state told me i have to finish my whole car then have it inspected by some guys that inspect like kit cars..then it will be titleed as a dynacorn custom...and it sucks cause i cant get it insured or anything till then..if you have someone that knows more than the wingnuts at sec of state let me know thanks

[jeff s]

That's the way it works in IL. However ANPAC Chrome insurance will insure a car before completion with pics and reciepts. As you probaly know homeowners will not cover a car under construction or the parts.

[dropit69]

yeah my homeowner guy wont touch it with a 10 foot pole..ill see about that other insurance you talked about Jeff..being itll be a few year project i wanna protect it..thanks..yours came out killer by the way..
