G90 67 Camaro

[SDS MACHINING]

We finalized the ride height and are dry fitting the Air ride, double checking all clearances and turning radius, a few minor adjustments to the 4 link and some front end work and we will be a solid rolling chassis! Very happy to be reaching this point in the project. :smoke:

mmmm sexy

[Motown 454]

Nice ride height, it will look sweet all painted up.

[CruizinKev]

SAWEET :twothumbs

[arai]

wow.......looks GREAT!!!

[SDS MACHINING]

Thanks for the compliments, I should have my new coresupport from AutoRad by the end of the month then we should be able to finish up all the final metal work, fit the RS grill and get ready for some color. Im shooting for a July paint date..:fingersx:

[454bug]

Hey Scott,

Looking VERY nice!! Spot-on stance and some really nice lookin' wheels... :twothumbs

Keep posting the updates!

[1971CHEVELLE]

Awesome :1st:

[Flash68]

Great lookin car.... is the rear gonna come down a bit? It looks slightly raked....

[SDS MACHINING]

Great lookin car.... is the rear gonna come down a bit? It looks slightly raked....
Our intent is to get the car as level as possible, this is where we will do some adjusting to the 4 link set up the top 2 links need to be repositioned slightly to give the center section a bit more clearnce, a quick easy fix and well worth the time,

I want the rear fender to sit in relation to the rim the same as the front, and then when we let the air out we should be pretty slammed, there is a few more suprises in the works as well which is going to really set off the side appearance. Im in the process of getting a quality rendering done as well as deciding on a name. I was considering "Project Panty Drop" but I think someone has already used it?

[SDS MACHINING]

New rendering of the car, there is more work being done but this is a great example of what we are going for both with style and ride,
since this last update we have reworked several things to lower the car an addtional 2 inches, i will update with those pictures very soon

[HWY Nova]

Very nice Scott!!!!!


--Eric

[Al Moreno]

In the rendering, you have door handles. Are you leaving or removing them?

[Motown 454]

Scott that is one sweet looking rendering. I love the color

[SDS MACHINING]

In the rendering, you have door handles. Are you leaving or removing them?

there is a few changes to the rendering yet to come, I am stayting true to the 67 and leaving the wing widows which are not in the rendering, regading the door handles: we have them currently removed but in able to run the strip or track I will need to figure soemthing out (remote cable) as it is required locally, Hopefully i will have the final rendering next week with all features

[78 Type-LT]

nice stance

[SDS MACHINING]

We made some good progress the past few weeks, the body is in full primer, 90% of the chassis is completed and final welding is done, and the Air Ride has been fit and tested for all clearance issues, I did get this new rendering today and thought I would share it as well. comments and thoughts are invited. Thanks

[bigshotsho93]

that is going to be a very nice looking car!!
about the rendering... not sure about the mesh in the lower valance, maybe painted black so it doesn't stick out as much. just my opinion. but the car is looking great.

[Happyfunballs]

Just clear it as it sits. Love the stance.

[tones2SS]

mmmm sexy

Too funny. That is EXACTLY what I said to myself. Stance looks killer.
There's just something about these cars in the raw metal with the wheels/stance on that just makes these cars look so good.

[SDS MACHINING]

With the majority of the Major metal work done, we decided to media blast and get the car into some epoxy primer.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/bodyinprimer-1.jpg

[MirandaBuilt]

the rendering is nice but dont you think it is a little unrealistic.

[SDS MACHINING]

the rendering is nice but dont you think it is a little unrealistic.

Interesting question, in what areas do you find it unrealistic?

[MirandaBuilt]

mostly just the stance. We are building a 19 20 car and to get the body to be as low as it looks in the rendering. It tucks a bunch of wheel and the wheel cant be just inside the rear quarter because of the way the quarter and outer wheel tub is designed.The car does look great though.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/Picture134-1.jpg

[camaro2nv]

I dont see anything wrong with it. Im running 20's in the rear and my car will sit just like that.

[Motown 454]

Looking good Scott

[tones2SS]

Me likey!!
Keep up the great work guys.

[1968CamaroSS_Sam]

In the rendering. It looks like there will be a piece added to the rocker to make it the illusion of being lower than it is. I think so far they have hit the rendering very closely. Great job. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

[SDS MACHINING]

correct, we will be putting a rocker extention on the car, I will be updating very soon with alot of pictures which will show the extensive modifications that we have made to get the car the past few months to allow it to sit that low, but I assure you the car will sit exactly as the rendering.

Your build looks really good, I wish I was in paint,
Not sure how the 69 rear fender is that much different from the 67 but we are utalizing the entire wheel well with out having alot of empty space on the outside of the tire.

We have managed to fill up the wheel wells and have plenty of clearance.

[wellis77]

That looks real good Scott. What size tire are you running?

[camaro2nv]

Is that as low as it will go? I can go that low and still have my rear floor intact with no mods.

[SDS MACHINING]

That looks real good Scott. What size tire are you running?

Wheels / Tires

Forgline ZX3P
20 x 12 rear 19 x 9 front
Pirelli PZero Rosso
345/25 x 20 rear
255/35 x 19 front
Regarding how low it will go: The last picuture is the car at ride height, so it will go almost 2" lower with no air in the system. I would love to see a picutre of your car at ride height and with it lowered. Pretty impressive to get it that low if without some modifications.

[MirandaBuilt]

sorry didnt realize you was putting rocker exentions on. i thought most the body work was done. good luck cant wait to see it in paint.

[SDS MACHINING]

Completed the final welding on the rear portion of the chassis, we should have our Custom Fuelsafe fuel cell next week as well as the Motor. I anticipate the progress from here is going pretty quick. Next week we will have the front section of the chassis back in position as well.

Real nice build, looking forward to seeing more.

[Motown 454]

That frame should be very rigid. I like the front rendering. It goingto look sweet.

We should have the motor next week, its scheduled for completion and dyno tune by this Friday.. :fingersx:

[SDS MACHINING]

We got word today the motor will be here next week. The dyno tune results was what we expected, running a 950 carb to help the "streetability" of the car did lower the total HP a bit, but I think we will have plenty of motor
811 hp
804 ftlbs
It will be interesting to see where the numbers come in on the chassis dyno.

Is this running on pump gas?

[SDS MACHINING]

yes, running pump gas. :)

[Motown 454]

Scott have you found any time to make some parts for yourself for the car?

[SDS MACHINING]

Scott have you found any time to make some parts for yourself for the car?

We have several things we are working on right now, I will update very soon when I have a few more parts completed. Im presently woring on a mold to make the carbon fiber front splitter that is on the rendering. The next 2 weeks we will be making alot of progress as the engine is sheduled to be here mid week.

[CliffS]

Looks badass!! Who's making the valvetrain brace?

[SDS MACHINING]

I have a tracking on my motor, it should be here Wednesday, I will post all specifics such as cam tag, and exact part number if requested, I did recieve a optional paint scheme today, I have mixed feelings about this, any one care to offer an opinion?

I hear ya. (Giggiy giggity) I dont think I will sleep till I hear thing run, this is just what I needed to get me motivated..

[JHunter]

Any other views of the new concept? I've been thinking about a paint scheme very close to that, maybe a darker silver.

[SDS MACHINING]

Kris is putting together a few other options, I will update as soon as I have something.

[John Wright]

Any idea of what kind of approximate power this thing will make...or has it seen the dyno already?

[SDS MACHINING]

Engine dyno came in at 811hp 804 tq.. thats with a 950 carb, If i put on the 1050 carb the HP should come in around 870.. we shall see however once I get it on the chassis dyno

[L & H Kustoms]

No wonder you were so busy when I stopped by today :naughty:

Hey Scott,

I think you're right... There is NO way a 950 car is going to flow enough for that size engine...

You have enough cam there for a lot bigger numbers... I didn't see your pistons but I am assuming they are flat tops (10.5:1 roughly - depending on the brodix head's combustion chambers)...

There have been PLENTY of testing recently where you really don't lose too much streetability with the correct Dominator, especially if it is one that has been worked on... With that engine, I doubt a 1050 would be sufficient without some additional cfm work... I have a re-worked 1050 that now flows 1250 cfm... That would work really nicely...

My bet with a tweaked, not stock, Dominator your engine would definitely be between 870hp and 900hp... :6gears:

Agreed, it will be interesting to see how it works out, once we get the car on the road then the dialing in for more HP will begin, and a larger carb or EFI is in the plans. Its going to be hard enough to keep this the tires from spinning as is..

edit: I never realized that the rear brakes had such a large offset between the axle flange and the rotor/caliper mounting brackets.

[SDS MACHINING]

We finalized the Motor Placment and set everything up for final weld, We will be installing the 10pt cage we got from Art Morrison next week. Then the final firewall smoothing work can be completed. (I just couldnt resist but make some motor mounts :))

you mean the one in my avatar Chris did nearly 5 years ago?

[SDS MACHINING]

I know there is alot of 2 tone cars out there, and its not like anyone here has re-invented the 2 tone concept, thanks for sharing. But there is substantial differences in the transition lines from your avatar. Is that car built yet? I would love to see some pictures other then renderings. I looked on your web site but couldnt find any picutres. very nice car indeed.:twothumbs

[Al Moreno]

Very nice, keep the pics coming. I'm loving it!

No it never got built. Quality of the work other people did before I started my business was not up to my standards and rather than cut it apart for the 4th time, I sold it to save my sanity.

There are bigger shots of the car on Chris' site. And no, it is not the same, just thought it may have been the one you might have been referring too. I do have several pics of other cars I have saved where my rendering had been copied down to everything except the transition on the nose, so that particular scheme will probably never get built, no matter how much I like it.

It is very hard to reinvent the wheel. To do something today that stands above the rest is a lot harder than it used to be. I think you are heading in the right direction.

[SDS MACHINING]

A few more additions to the project, (now comes the sheet metal for a second time) We should have some huge progress by then end of next week as everything is finally coming together.

[redzula]

blue for sure

[Motown 454]

I'll be watching for your update.

[454bug]

Looks great Scott! Coming together nicely... :1st:


Great renderings. It's going to be a tough decision for you to pick a color scheme...


They both look awesome! Your car will look great either way.

[CruizinKev]

wow nice work! :twothumbs

[brianjw4]

I think the black looks pretty sweet, especially with the black centered wheels.

[white97]

Love the build and the work done to the car!

Just curious, are you set on doing a 2 tone. Dont get me wrong your car do what makes you happy. But it would seem that today everybody is doing a 2 tone just cuz. To me that car is to clean to mess it up with a paint line. The lines flow to well to make something that doesnt need to be there.

But hey that is just my opinion and everbody has one. Cant wait to see this car done.

[67SSDan]

Sick sick sick! I dig it. The black is is nice IMO.

Both Mark at Bowler and Dan Lemons are great, its nice to deal with people who know what they are talking about.

Anyone with pictues of either item installed please share.. thanks

Hey Scott,

This page on Bowler's site lists the transmission ratios when coupled with a Gear Vendor's O/D...

I would be interested to see what the gear spread will be on this transmission... I went with the TH400/Gear Vendors route because I didn't know of any alternatives at the time... I recently found out about TCI's revamped 4L80 that was converted into a 6-speed... I hadn't heard about Bowler doing it...

I'll be very interested in how you like it and what the gear spreads are...

Keep up the great work! :1st:

[SDS MACHINING]

Let me see if I can get Mark from Bowler to comment on this for you. best to hear if from the professionals.

(your project is looking really nice, my father in law is a huge VW guy, i showed him your build over the weekend and he spent the next few hours scrolling thru your thread):twothumbs

[SDS MACHINING]

Dan Lemons sent me a tacked together set of his BBR506 headers to check fit and clearances. These things are huge! for a tack set they look really good, I can only imagine what the final set with coating will be like:yum:

Boy... :yum:

They SURE look nice!!! I wish you were close by so I could "trial fit" them on my car as well...

I talked to Dan a couple of weeks ago about my project... He didn't offer up a "trial fit" like that... My old set of 2" primary/3-1/2" collector headers were from a 67-69 Camaro... I don't know if I could get that lucky and have their larger models fit and clear my frame rails without modification... That was nice of him to ship prior to weld-out and coating to look for any clearance issues... If I can do that it might just keep me from having to get a custom set built from scratch!

VERY NICE!! :1st:

Boy... :yum:

They SURE look nice!!! I wish you were close by so I could "trial fit" them on my car as well...

If you offer to pay for the shipping back and forth he might be willing to do the same for you possibly, it never hurts to ask.

To follow up on your previous question: I put in a message into Mark at Bowler as well as link to this thread to get the trans ratio qustion answered, hopefully Mark will reply when he is back in the office next week.

They look sweet in there. The car is looking great. One tube on those headers is bigger than the main pipe that was on my car when I got it. Very Nice.

Hey guys sorry for the delay in responding to this post. First Scott I want to thank you for your trust in our company. The gear ratios in our 4L80-E Six Speed is; 2.97, 2.23, 1.57, 1.18, 1.00, 0.75
Many people do not understand this setup, many think it is a 4L80-E with a Gear Vendor and others feel that it is the the 6L80-E transmission. This is a pretty simple concept that was done years ago and is not new technology. John Meany done this several years ago along with Jet Performance having a version as well. The idea didn't go over as well as thought initially due to the gear ratios of the original transmission, it didn't make too much sense to split the gears. Today with better gear ratio planetary gear sets now available it has become more vaild to split the gears making a close ratio 6 speed. Along with giving you a better first gear ratio compaired to the original 2.48:1 ratio. Keep in mind this does not change your final overdrive ratio, to do this you would have to go with a Gear Vendor unit.
TCI has recently came out promoting their new 6X version of this package, they have taking advantage of their marketing power and made this the latest and greatest transmission to have. Which is great for them. We just do not have the budgets to market the way they do. We have this package available. Many ask what is the difference between TCI and Bowler's, TCI builds a good transmission, I am not here to put any one down. We feel we put the personal attention to each transmission and use the best quality parts that can be used. On our 4L80E Six Speed we use the following componets that others do not use, Billet 300M Input Shaft, Billet 300M Intermediate Shaft, Billet Forward Clutch Hub, 36 Element Intermediate Sprag, Stage II Frictions, Blue Printed Pump, Blue Printed Valve Body, All New OEM GM Solenoids along with a few of our own secrets.
I hope I have answered the questions that was needed and cleared up a few items on the Six Speed package. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Mark

[SDS MACHINING]

We received the 4L85E and all the goods to go with it, after checking clearance on a few things we can have the exhaust system completed, and start putting the sheet metal back in place.

Hey Scott,

Everything is looking awesome!

BTW, are your headers stepped? They look like 2-1/4" stepped to 2-3/8" with 4" collectors... Is that right?

I think I'm going to contact Lemons to order a similar set without the step up in size (2-1/4" primaries)

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! :1st:

Awesome project !

[speedfreak68]

Where did you guys get those exhaust tips?

[Dons67]

great build!

i'm all for the gray - keeping the wheel centers matching the top color and it almost looks like the side of the cowl is the lighter of the two colors -- it may just be the shading but that might make a really nice detail...

Where did you guys get those exhaust tips?

We made them. Our intent was to use the DR Gas boom tubes which we purchased. However the "quality" was not what we were looking for so we dediced just to make the entire thing ourselves.

It's great to see some progress!

I REALLY like the aluminum core support made for the Camaro's.

[Motown 454]

I agree X2 on the radiator suport. How big is that radiator, it looks huge. It must fell great to see the sheetmetal on there even if its only test fit. sweet !

Nice looking project. Just an FYI: The location where you have your A1000 fuel pump won't work. That pump needs to be gravity fed and the inlet will need to be at the same level as the lowest point in your fuel cell.

Nice looking project. Just an FYI: The location where you have your A1000 fuel pump won't work. That pump needs to be gravity fed and the inlet will need to be at the same level as the lowest point in your fuel cell.

There are a number of cars running them up high on this site... I wonder why they haven't had problems?

[SDS MACHINING]

Thanks for the input on the pump location. I will have to check into this.

[ArtosDracon]

There are a number of cars running them up high on this site... I wonder why they haven't had problems?

Probably because they don't run their tanks down far enough for it to be a problem. This style of pump has very low suction on the draw by nature. Centrifugal pumps don't have this problem, but they are a lot louder generally due to the more exposed body of the motor. They also run hotter, but don't add any heat to your fuel. I did a big study on pump design when I was working on a liquid chilling project a couple years ago. The output pressure and the pumping distance on this style of pump makes it perfect for fuel pumps though.

thanks guys,, i cant even count the hours we have spent on these rockers, side exhaust and boxing in the rear of the car..iWe should be on to the front clip next week.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/DSCN2019-1.jpg
We also took a rollpan for a late model truck and used the license plate section as seen here, to give some detail to the back, this allows us to hide the battery disconnect, so if we go to the track we just remove the plate and there is the rear facing big red E-stop button..

Even machined some new parts for final assembly

Awesome, killer rendering. looking forward for the finished car!!

Nice job...having watched the guys do my 71, I know how much effort it takes to work those gaps and body lines like that.

Thanks,, at certain times it is almost overwhelming and it feels like an endless amount of work to get to this point, but once you are wet sanding in 600, you know paint is right around the corner..

Loaded up and off to the booth!

Thanks John, I wish i had the talent to do all this work, it has been a collaboration of a few people and alot of hours, this body work far exceeds my skill set..it would look more like a rat rod if they let me near the metal work..
Good news is the car is in the booth!

Very cleaning looking. Love the no drip moldings that is my winter project :)

Thanks everyone.. I am very pleased with the paint... regarding the drip rails...be sure to install you side glass and weatherstripping,check clearance when you close the door with the window up, its an easy thing to over look especially if you extend the edge down to encase the trim that holds the weather strip along the drip rail.

Getting the A pillar, door, fender and cowl flow together is another area that takes some time,especially if your are going with flush mount glass...

Great tips thanks...

[ryeguy2006a]

That paint looks fantastic. The assembly should go much faster now.

[V8240Z]

Congratulations! The car looks great, it will be amazing when done.

[SDS MACHINING]

That paint looks fantastic. The assembly should go much faster now.

We hope to have the car done by the end of July. somewhere between 4 & 6weeks. Still alot of things to do plus all the detail shopping items (ie) fasteners, fitting, bolts etc...

[67speedfreak]

Final assembly is by far the most time consuming part !

[syborg tt]

looking great

Baller status.

[killer67]

Slammed!

[JEbrake]

How am I supposed to sleep after seeing this now!? I'm too excited now! Is the front valance a breakaway piece? Buddy of mine made a cnc valance for his BMW M3, and made it so it would easily break away from the bumper because of his ride height...and it paid off. It would have trashed his front bumper otherwise. This car is pure class. I think you've just nailed down my dream car. 800+ft/lbs on pump gas will straight move that car. An old customer of mine had a third gen camaro with a 632 big block that put down around 1250 to the wheels, but it was all race gas. Fun car though! Keep up the awesome work!

[SDS MACHINING]

I dont plan on taking any speed bumps with it slammed, or even driving it like that, just parking.. at ride height it should be ok, a break away splitter might have some negative effects if it decided to proceed to get drove over after breaking away, I have an idea of making one out of either fiber glass or carbon fiber once the car is complete, that way if something did strike the splitter it would hopefully just dent, scratch, nick or damage it and not the valace. Right now i just want the car done for a few shows that are coming up in the next few months... FYI i have not slept in 4 years and yesterday was no exception after finally putting the body on the chassis... more update soon as assembly progresses..

[SDS MACHINING]

Fernando,, hows your build coming along? need some updates on the N-XSS car...

Few more updates, We got the body fully mounted and are starting the plumbing, also had to make a brake pedal to accommodate the steering column and offer the more traditional AT size foot pad...

made some clamps to hold the trans cooler lines
