=Streetfighter 67 Camaro "STORM" build thread=

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Since VENGEANCE is a pro build with wild this and that I wanted a LOW BUCK ride i could take out and beat the shizz out of when i want to got to the corner store.. I really liked my 69 GTO but my heart was with the 67-68 camaro body so off i went.

I found a real RS 67 camaro around my way for a good price, so i decided to pick it up.
I want to do a cheap Streetfighter i can do alot of things with myself.

so here it goes..

My bud David at Road Killer Kustoms helped me bring it home..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034602_51346b241b_o-1.jpg
It a rusty and dusty roller.. and i dont care.. i dont want to go through paint jail right now.. ahah
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034610_a12eb98907_o-1.jpg
The guy who had it before me went through it some and sprayed it with a cheap Silver... im not a fan of silver but since it is presentable ill roll with it for a little..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034616_bc0f88ba86_o-1.jpg
Engine bay was pre painted but was dirty as fack..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794089538_d4d4abebf2_o-1.jpg
interior was haggard a bit.. nice center console and other bits but still alot to change out..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794089548_17f4412140_o-1.jpg
Optional rear seat fold down still there..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794089550_6c3f6fabee_o-1.jpg
But the hideaways were in great shape tho.. no problems there.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794089552_773451230e_o-1.jpg

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

So David had a healthy mean aluminum headed, roller rockered, holley750, 383 stroker he had built so i picked it up from him and had him put it in there..

man it looks so good dirty...

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034626_8587728b6d_o-1.jpg

we also put some nice hooker headers on there.. man these are probably the best fit headers ive seen out of the box.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034630_dde791296b_o-1.jpg

[dmc69]

Looking good.... what are your plans???

[Vegas69]

I'm digging it man. Just don't blow your other build budget!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Hahahah!

nah im back on Vengeance also.. when you take alot of time and effort to build a top notch car it can take a bit of patience and perseverance.

And i noticed another thing.. to actually be able to be patient and allow good work to not be rushed PLUS be the hotrodder you are.. you need something to tide you over..

and this is what Storm is..

a low buck brawler..


so.. heres more..

I cant sit on a set of darn ralleys for too long so i decided to nip that in the bud QUICK!..

I tend to do a lot of research on offsets and backspacings and ive been in love with these wheels since i was into VWs.. O.Z. Racing Mito wheels.. true 3 piece racing wheel.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/IMG_6015-1.jpg?t=1235951101

These are the wheels i was making fun of Hetchorod in his now infamous "HellaFlush" thread.

Note the "stretch" in them tires!...LOL!
dont worry.. the tired changed also.. got to get a set of centercaps tho..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/IMG_2000-1.jpg?t=1235951474

These wheels are LOOOOOOOOOONNNG discontinued.. and few folks know about them but they are a household name in German tuners.


so rarely do these wheels come up.. and even more rare that they are in the same offsets plus 5x120.. i scooped them up for a good price.. maybe a third on what i spent on Vennys wheels..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

so while we were swapping the 383 i test fit the fronts..

pretty much dead on!.. save for the tires.. no rubbin.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034622_0e45e2d4bd_o-1.jpg

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

So before i threw the wheels on there.. dont worry i know the order of these things..

I went scowling craigslist and David used some hookups he had to get some nice parts here and there..

we went into the braking system and it has disc brakes up front and drum rears.. for now.. we just freshened it up..
Also we threw on a set of Hotchkis drop coils with a full coil cut out..

it had a non posi rear end so i got a nice built 10 bolt posi with 355 gears and threw it under there.. more to the lowbuck thing..

it also originally had a 2 speed powerglide so i popped in a nice pro built th350 tranny that can hold more ponies than it puts out so i was stoked..
and to top off that i put in a craigslist B&M shifter to hit the gears..

i WAS going to go with a manual but i wanted one that my wife could drive so i kept it auto.. man i must love my wife..

so here is the interior.. i installed the new seats, carpet and odds and ends.. davids guys fabbed up the little autometer gauges and threw them in there..

the cool thing is that all the gauges were out of Bad Penny!
I bought em for Venny when i was BRAND new to this site 3 years ago..thanks Steve..

Youd get a kick where i got the carpet from!.. did you know you could carpet your camaro for 30 bucks from walmart?
ahah!

I kept it pretty much no nonsence and youd be surprised how nicely the remaining interior pieces cleaned up!

check!
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3763902881_82e32c1ef8_o-1.jpg

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

moving along..

so you saw the engine bay.. David worked some magic with the wiring hiding plug wires and installing the MSD stuff.. and i cleaned, painted, repaired, revised this and that and here it is..


before..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3794034626_8587728b6d_o-1.jpg



After..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3763902879_5c89042c9b_o-1.jpg


oh and dont mind the support bars and the hood strikers i didnt install them before this pic..

[larknut]

What other parts are you planning on throwing at this car? I'm in love with the streetfighter "theme" (for lack of a better word).

[larknut]

Ok, I guess I was late.

[Flash68]

I like it. Clean and dirty at the same time. Can park it wherever you want and not worry about door dings.

And great call on the cheap project to tide you over while the big daddy takes its sweet ole time.

[WS6]

This is looking great Amir. The low buck theme is playing out nicely.

[Tony_SS]

Damn you're all business.. I like these kind of builds.

[Chevrolaine]

Sweet! At this pace you should call it "Quick and Painless"!

[Shiro666]

Hey Mr. V,

I love them wheels. Rare and delicious. Did you have to have them modified in any way to fit? I have always apreciated the Dubber's commitment to go to great lengths to get BBS LM's to fit with a change of barrel or lip.

If I was 58% more baller I would apply a euro type wheel to my 67.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

So i gunmetal greyed out the rear tail panel.. pretty stoked how it came out.. never mind the trunk lock.. still have to install it.

also installed a nice set of taillights.. they actually were Vennys old ones.. oh the benefit of having 2 of the same car.. the interchangeability... Also i scotchbrited the bumper for that dull look..
i personally dont like brightwork much..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3795851070_a05cb41379_o-1.jpg


Also i blacked out the quarter windows and trim.. also gunmetaled the lower rocker area.. kind like that too.. like accentuating the coke bottle shape we all love so much..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3795026913_2e2362e9d7_o-1.jpg

Im having a ball doing little odds and ends to make this thing look and act right... so good when you spend a little time out there working on it.

i wish i had a garage tho.. the parking lot of my loft sucks to work on a car.. plus my neighbors are nosy.

Tidied up the back area a little bit also.. just for now..

A CAGE is going in there soon.. plus a set of racing seats.. so this is very temporary..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/08/3795026883_428c8fe558_o-1.jpg

[NOT A TA]

Nice project! I see a plate. Have you had it out to drive yet?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

What other parts are you planning on throwing at this car? I'm in love with the streetfighter "theme" (for lack of a better word).


not pictured but i got the DSE drop leafs installed in the rear.. not sure if its low enough tho.. may throw in a lowering block to drop that last bit..

Also im still debating weather or not to minitub it.. i dont really care if it is a RS or not.. but i kinda like the rear folddown seat..

and of course the Cage.. shoot the cars so rusty it needs it!.. ahahhaah

I have a set of big Wilwoods that ive been sitting on for Venny.. BUT.. i bought them so long ago in red.. now my taste has changed a bit and im thinking to put these red ones on Storm and get a new set of Black ones for Venny..

heres them when they were on Venny a LOOOONG time ago..
how things change over 2 years or so.. you can tell with the old Boyds.. ahahhah!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

what do yall think?.. should i throw them on Stormy?

[Vegas69]

To be perfectly honest like you would be with me. Those wheel sbelong on a 32 Ford. JMO

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oh hell no.. those wheels are LOOOONG gone.. they are with a PTer el-camino in Luxembourg Germany
https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36236&highlight=boyd+harm

i meant the brakes!

[NOT A TA]

Will they fit inside the OZ wheels?

[Vegas69]

Agree....need to make sure the calipers will clear the wheels with a reasonable backspace. Look like 13" rotors. Should be good with 17-18' wheels if the pad is right or you can space the wheels out with a hub adapter of spacer with longer studs.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Nice project! I see a plate. Have you had it out to drive yet?

thanks!

Yes i tagged it and covered it.. ive been driving it for 2 weeks STRAIT.
loving every minute too..

as for the calipers fitting behind the OZs.. im not sure.. youre right, better find that out then..

The OZs are 18s and more than likely they will fit.. because in the pics those were 17s.. but i upgraded to 14inch discs.. so it still may be an issue.
I hope they will fit.. cause this thing hauls a sweeping, swaying, and fishtailling ASS.

[Vegas69]

It will be super tight with 14's. I ended up going to 13" rotors when I got my step lip 18's due to caliper and nut interference. I wanted my backspacing perfect. You need a minimum of 2mm or .078 clearance.

[hivewax]

IMO, the import wheels look out of place.

EDIT: like they belong on today's vehicles...

[Rybar]

Storm is a cool project, just hope your head isn't getting too big lol

[monza]

Looking really good!!! Think it needs a big fat stereo - maybe some air!! :smoke:

[tones2SS]

Very cool Vengeance!
Should be a cool "grocery getter"! Enjoy.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Storm is a cool project, just hope your head isn't getting too big lol


ahaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

dont let old sport hear you say that!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I like it. Clean and dirty at the same time. Can park it wherever you want and not worry about door dings.

And great call on the cheap project to tide you over while the big daddy takes its sweet ole time.


Yea man, it really is like that.. from a certain distance you would thing.. man thats clean.. but its really dirty..

lets face it, some of us on here including me are spending somewhere in the 10k mark JUST for paint.. and that can be nerve racking when you go to say the bowling alley to get a couple of games in and you KNOW it could be some asstard with a camry that doesnt care if you spent that on paint.

This car.. is quite the opposite..



I went to Chick fil A a couple of days ago in the Camaro.
I got a number 1 with a powerade and it was about dusk.. as i was rolling out of the A i noticed how nice the sunset was.. and decided to park it out in the parking lot and sit on the hood of the car and eat my food.. after the food i got to reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy and I can tell you this my friends.. all the things that worried us about how much we spend on these cars didnt get in the way of that chicken sandwich, my homie Cormac, and that beautiful sunset..

Luckily I had my camera with me..

Not to jack your thread but i hear ya. it cool to have a ride that you just park and do whatever with and not think twice about it. Iam sticking all my money in my camaro and its taking awhile to finish so i picked this up and added a few things to roll around until the main project is complete. by the way you camaro does look good :smoke:

You just brought a tear to my eye. That was beautiful man. :)

I know what you mean though. That's why at this point, I have zero plans to paint my TA. I want to drive it where ever and not worry about a scratch or a nick. I'll always worry about the a$$tards that may back into it though.

Exactly!

im doing little by little and keeping low.. raw as possible.

and yea it was beautiful.. i think it was the first time in a long time i realized that i had a moment with my hotrod.. and realized what this was about.

I know ill enjoy Vengeance but in a diffrent way than this one.. and i look forward to finishing her.. thats why i keep the cost low on Storm so it doesnt suck up Vennys budget..

[Bow Tie 67]

Great pics, the sky looks a little stormy!!

[454bug]

Another "Street Fighter"!!! Yeah!!! :machine:




Great job Amir!! :twothumbs

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Thanks Ray!.. hows the bug?

it aint all the way streetfighter YET!.. got to get the suspention stuff handled... i want to do some coilovers and control arms and stuff.. then possibly a nice 4 link in the rear. then put on them brakes..

and i picked up a set of used Nascar spoiler stabilizers off ebay for dolo..

got an idea for the front spoiler.. ill post pics of the outcome later.

Sounds good Amir, I was just gonna post if you were planning to address the 4 x 4 stance.

[PleaseNoSteve]

Damn son - can't wait to go out and trash the streets in that thing!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

The MOST money im going to spend on this one is mostly suspention..

and the only reason that hasnt been done yet is because i havent pulled the trigger on whos kits im going to use..

there are soooo many good options.. its hard to say yes to one anymore..

i dont like air ride so thats out.. coilovers is a must.. at least some proven specs on some.. things of that nature..

leaning twords the dse stuff or maybe the speedtech.. anyone here running the speedtech stuff?

Amir, I am running a Speedtech setup with QA1 coilover kit.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

truthfully how do you like it?

have you been able to get on it at all.. any track time? autoX?

Truthfully, I am very happy with the parts. Although I've never tracked it or Auto-x so I cannot give you any insight on that end.

grrrr...are those the ones that sold for $41 from raceprovenparts? at least i know they went to a good home :).

Those are two great choices...

Did you get your $100 in for the "1 in 60" give away at the RTTH V that Jake's Rod Shop is donating???

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

NOT THAT IS A SWEET SETUP AS WELL... :1st:

[seekins]

I am doing the same type build, all GO but with just a little show. I should have my Jakes front and rear setup soon. then i will have a killer 68 roller. Got an 04' GTO for cheap and robbed the ls1, t56 and brakes. Im still doing sheet metal work but should be ready when the suspension arrives. still trying do decide on paint...

Check out the Jakes suspenssion setup. I am building a street/track car and after all the research feel jakes is the best for my needs.

[tones2SS]

Hey Vengeance. From what I hear and read about the Speed-tech, they are great products. I actually saw the Speed-Tech sub frame on the Karma build in person and it looks like a killer piece.
I know that there is a lot more on info on them with people that auto-x them on lateral-g.net.
GOOD LUCK!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Yes.. that would be the ultimate setup id like to run.
unfortunately its not in the cards dollars wise.. but one of these days i may go out for it.

and yes i heard of good speedtech stuff.. i might go that route.

Here is what I would suggest. OEM sub, ATS Steering Box, ATS spindles, SPC lower and Upper control arms. (for me I would go with Landrum adjusters and 600 Lb springs) But you want coil overs so I would Make my own upper mount then pick your choice or shocks and springs.
Weld the subframe. Since one of you motives is an AT home build, like me I would stay away from Bolt on stuff....
If you want a race insipred suspension then bite the bullett and get the JRS Apex suspension. For your expressed needs and plans I see little value to the ST sub...

[Tucks69]

Cool Project Vengeance!! I noticed in your thread this a project to beat on while you build your other car. That is what I did with the 68 I have. You made a comment that you liked it when I was at the PSMC. I just ordered my Rushforths from Jon at Driverz Inc for my 69. I am trying to take my time and make the 69 what I want without cutting corners.
You bringing the 67 to RTTHV?

[David Sloan]

Amir
Let me know if you want to buy suspension,(JRS apex) I will hook you up!
Thanks

Hey Tuck!

yea man i saw your car dude.. I love your car man I almost shot this one in Hot Rod Flatz(may still do so) and i saw yours in the primer. raw! .. kindof the same scenario on this one.
Do you have a build thread on your 69 on here?

Not much in my build yet. But the wife said she wanted to see the 69 running by end of 2010! I got a $#&*load of work to do. Just started the mini tub and ordered wheels. Rearend and suspension will be next.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

its all good my man.. you better get in the garage!

anyways..

so i picked up one of those nice chinspoilers from pro-spoilers.com
Its pretty heavy duty.. made of steel.. i can pretty much stand on the lip without the support bars.

i modified the stabilizer bars to go in.. i still need to add a nicer baseplate to be more structurally sound but you get the idea.

Looking good Vengeance!
That chin spoiler does look heavy duty.

[WS6]

The spoiler looks great on there. You leaving the bumper off Amir?

[796spdbu]

Nice project!
Im digging the chin spoiler!

[Vegas69]

I do like that chin spoiler. I wonder if they would do it in brushed aluminum.:idea:

[Blitz]

Aarrghh, you make me miss Atlanta so much with those sunset pics. I know the feeling when you have one of those "moments". I remember having one on the top parking deck at The Varsity. Just sat outside for about 10 min. sippin' on my medium F.O. and looking over the city skyline soaking up the finer points of life. What I wouldn't give to be there again.

Anyway...enough of that. I like the treatment on the handles and seeing all the different places you greyed/blacked out really sets that silver off. I kinda agree on the chrome theory. I hate seeing 'em over chromed so the black out treatment gives it good balance. Keep posting man cuz I'm gonna keep looking.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

as a matter of fact they do!.. i think it was only 2 of them made.. one for the 67 68s.. an this one for the 69.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Throwing these on here for good measure.

So ive been playing around with the name Camaro67 just for shizz and giggles.. so i did a piece over the weekend and did a mini photoshoot.

Threw on my new mirrors.. can you guess what they are?
and yea i know i still have to lower it..

[Tucks69]

Any artwork planned for the car itself?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

nah not really.. other than renderings and whatnot i steer clear.

[tones2SS]

I'm digging it Vengeance.

[454bug]

THE MAN's got skills... :headbang:

[orbit]

They look like they were from a motorcycle?..

[796spdbu]

I had some mirrors like those from a company that I cant spell.They had a europen style to them.I had them on a mini truck I built in the early 90's..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

They look like they were from a motorcycle?..

you would know from the avatar in your screen name!

[Blitz]

Dammit!! :machine: Someone figured it out before me. Apparently LONG before me. lol Just spent a few hours trying to figure it out. I knew they looked familiar too. LOL Oh well. They look good on there though. And uhhhh, ahem...since I've been trying to figure out an alternative to the ugmo circle mirrors on my 65 Chevelle other than Sport Mirrors, I think I'm gonna have to "borrow" this idea. Yeahhhh, now the hunt!

Side note: Does anybody remember the big VW Rabbit craze of the early 90's? Mods like dual headlight or square headlight kits, the moulded aero style Cabriolet kit put on to the 2 door hardtop Rabbit, the A-Team style 2 tone paintjobs and the side air vents grafted on the rear portion? I've been ALSO trying to remember what car those side vents came off of. I can't find any pics of either a Rabbit like this OR that mystery car. Anybody got a clue?

[orbit]

you would know from the avatar in your screen name!


So????? What do I win?:smoke: I have a pile of those mirrors... LOL

[rlplive]

Nice car man, gives me hope for my rusty 69. I can't spot any rust on yours, what areas are bad on it?

[Blitz]

So????? What do I win?:smoke: I have a pile of those mirrors... LOL

Send 'em my way.:)

[Blitz]

And then it got reeeal quiet. :rotfl:

[rlplive]

I need some updates, this car rocks.

[cheapthrillz]

Yea man, it really is like that.. from a certain distance you would thing.. man thats clean.. but its really dirty..

lets face it, some of us on here including me are spending somewhere in the 10k mark JUST for paint.. and that can be nerve racking when you go to say the bowling alley to get a couple of games in and you KNOW it could be some asstard with a camry that doesnt care if you spent that on paint.

This car.. is quite the opposite..



I went to Chick fil A a couple of days ago in the Camaro.
I got a number 1 with a powerade and it was about dusk.. as i was rolling out of the A i noticed how nice the sunset was.. and decided to park it out in the parking lot and sit on the hood of the car and eat my food.. after the food i got to reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy and I can tell you this my friends.. all the things that worried us about how much we spend on these cars didnt get in the way of that chicken sandwich, my homie Cormac, and that beautiful sunset..

Luckily I had my camera with me..


DUDE The Road rocks! Loved that book! Nice car Georgia Boy!

[sik68]

Looking awesome! This is the type of build I :yum: over.

[silverdenali22]

Good work it's looking good!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

So i got rid of the stock camaro seats.. man i was sliding around in them like i was sitting on a table in a bumpercar match..

so i got these..

As you can see i still have crumbs from a whopper on em... ahhaha!

[Twentyover]

OK V-

What kind of chairs ar "these"?

[muthstryker]

woo cobra misano seats?! Those look sweet!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

getitgotitgood....

[muthstryker]

LoL the knock offs fooled me thats for sure! they are still nice

[muthstryker]

what did you use for mounts?

[BaddestBuick]

Those look great, did you get the chance to weigh one?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

nah didnt get a chance to.. but REALLY.. i held one out with ONE arm full stretched and i could manage it.. id GUESS about 20-25 pounds.

they are really light yall..

as for mounts i fabbed up my own it wasnt that bad..

[rlplive]

$250.00, man I dig that. What are you going to do for seat belts?

[arue333]

Do they ride nice? Not like some one putting a 16 penny nail in your spine?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

heeeelll no.. they ride great!

no springs and shiss in the back.. the only thing is that ive got a wide back(musclehead) and its moderately tight.. but good stability because of that in the turns.. and i havent figured out the seatbelts just yet.. since just installed yesterday.. but i have a 4 point body harness im going to figure out how to work.

...use it well my brethren.. use it well.. just dont tell EVERYBODY or itll cornify it quick!

ahahahha!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

since i dont have a radio in the car the package tray is bare.. so i rocked one for the crew.. Streetfighters.

just for fun.. and deliberately drippy!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/10/4001547818_372217e002-1.jpg

its a gunmetal grey and hardly noticable until your up on it..

[Blitz]

Those look like the exact seats in the green Roadster Shop Chevelle except all business. That leather interior in the RS Chevelle smelled sooo nice.

Don't know why I didn't shoot the full interior.:slap:

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/10/GoodGuys09dayone017-1.jpg

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

cant tell... like the cockpit look tho..

[blown9746]

i really like this build. good work

[ZZ427]

I'm lovin this build . Go "Street Fighters"

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Go Streetfighters!

anyways, i hate silver... BUUUUUTT... i found out that when i added this GS stripe.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/10/4014712954_1449d4b430-1.jpg

ooohh how i love how she looks now..

I painted it with Rustoleum dark metallic spray paint!

looks pretty good in real life also!

[Vegas69]

I'd like to do a low budget build one of these day as well. It's got to be fun trying to make due and finding deals.

[Jarcaines]

Love the stripes!

Hey Todd, want to trade budgets? ;-)

[Blitz]

Looks better and better.

[srh3trinity]

I think it looks awesome. I would like to see the wheels that Charcoal color too, it would tie everything in together. Maybe photoshop it?

[BIGX69]

THE STROM IS COMING:machine: looking good man!

[WS6]

Atlanta makes for some good back grounds if you know where to look. Great pictures Amir. Dig the stripes.

[Smock67]

The camaro looks sick as in like swine flu sick. I may be stealing your painted rockers idea for my bird. The stripes really set it off even more.

Side note however, what paint and caps are you using for tagging?

[Ron S]

You know I love the low budget approach,keep up the good work.Cheap=Fun Hey when is the other car going to be done?

[68/CamaroFL]

Amir,
Im Diggin "Storm" Build its looking Bad A$$! :headbang:

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

68/camaroflThanks man!.. i love how Evade came out also!.. black and Carbonfiber.. right up my alley!

Ron.. yea man thats the thing.. Vengeance is still putting along.. but its along the lines of most builds on here.. Long.. expensive.. and require A LOT of patience... Storm is my pacifier till Venny is done..

and im having a ton of fun doing it on the low budge, scouring craigslists, yardsales, and swap meets.. then taking her to a local run spot and ripping up the curves.. even if she cant handle it yet..

ill be most happy when im done with Venny for sure.. but the widebody is taking a considerable amount of time to complete.. so im taking it slow.

Storm is just be a scarred up road bully...

Blazed.. I use NY fatcaps and NY thins... the originals.. the best...

Trey.. yea man thats the thing about ATL.. its still got SOME charm here and there between traffic and new lofts and strip malls.

BigX69.. Im working on Airflares now.. ahahah breakdancing is hard with these new kids new moves!

srh3trinity.. I wanted to do the Charcoal centers even before i did the stripe.. now i REALLY want to do em... ive just been driving her so much to
take the wheels off and have them powdercoated(which is the proper way to color them) despite keeping it on the low budget thing.. i just dont skimp on wheels..

[Topless69]

Mr. V I was looking into motorcycle mirrors a while ago until I found VF-2's whitch I like. What are those off of..??

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

a CBR i think its a 650...

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

My man Jason T Barker last night at our Shop posted up some photos he took..

http://jasontbarker.com/

Man.. one too many shots of Bacardi.. big burnout in the garage.. i think im going to hell tho..
our shop is UNDER a church.

Love the black and white pictures Amir. very nice.

[elitecustombody]

looking good man, loving the improvement, but it needs to be dropped some more

[454bug]

AWESOME pictures Amir!! :1st:

I really like a good quality Black & White photo! It looks like an "old" picture from that era...

The stripes look great too! :twothumbs

[CruizinKev]

sweet!! :twothumbs

[Shiro666]

Looks great.

Did it get lower since the last pic's?

-Shiro

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Yea just a little.

[69projectKAOS]

hey vengeance,
where did u get those gs stripes? i have been looking all over for those and cant seem to find them, i think they would break up the paint on my car a bit because its mostly red now.-thanks-dom

p.s. your car looks sweeeeeeeett!!!!!:1st:

[TT302Z28]

I don't know how I missed this thread until now. I love your car and know many who would kill just to have this as their only project.

Very cool. Really digg'n the wheels.

[Blitz]

Hotdamndiggity!

I haven't been in this thread in awhile. Those pics need to be a big poster in my garage. Talk about classic inspiration. Good stuff...as usual.

[Rod]

Car looks sweeeeeettttt!! VEN :1st:

[RyanG]

car is lookin really good

[dlouie87]

Whats the specs on the side mirrors, wheels, seats, and the suspension?

[David Sloan]

Look's Killer Amir

[Moabdude]

Cool.
Finally a 2 inch drop?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

originally a 2 inch, but i threw on a lowering block til i install a 4 link..

Dlou..

The Side mirrors are from a honda CBR motorcycle.. the wheels are Original OZ modular wheels that are discontinued for like 6 years now.. and the seats are the knock off Cobra misanos..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

-Dan

[ChevelleNV]

Very Nice, I love the stripes. They make the car look menacing!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Shes no longer Silver!!

aaaaahhhh some photos from the Mitty on the track with a few fellow Streetfighter JAPANESE!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Tucks69]

Looking Good!! You are coming to PSMC 2 right!!

[srh3trinity]

All I can see are Red X's. The other pics in the thread work, but these two don't. I hate being stuck at work. Care to give me a clue what color? I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to see it. I love this build though.

[colt zantop]

Very nice!

[T_Raven]

Dang I missed this thread all this time. I love what you've done with it. I picked up my 68 Firebird to drive and modify a little while I build my 67.

[69projectKAOS]

Any updates VENG!?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

nothing new cause now Stormy is getting a new heart with some snails.

but heres flicks from PSMC

ah oh!! any details or are we just going to have to wait? haha i cant wait to go to one of those event and see how my car does.-Dom

[Oakesters]

any updates, details on new heart/snails?, twin turbo ?

[Vinz68]

Looks good and looks like you are having a blast with it!! Very cool

[Dalamar]

Props on a sweet build - nice work.

I love how the GS stripe really sets off the front of your car. nice touch.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

right now im cooking up a 6.0 turbo engine for it.. and this car is going widebody.

but it will essentially look the same.. spraypainted like i did it before in grey... black gs stripes.. but wider wheels.. and some chunkalunk under the hood.

my 49 fleetline that i put that 383 in ate up the 700r4 already!

ahahahahha

i got a built 4l60e to go in there tho..


What yall got to understand about this car was that i whipped it up.. put it together so i can go out there and ride while Vengeance was finishing up.. but now Venny is pretty much done and this is under the knife now.

what im saying is ENJOY YOUR RIDES, boys.. we are not promised tomorrow...

[srh3trinity]

Is there a Venny update thread?? I haven't seen an update on that car in a long time. Throw us a bone here.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

There will be very shortly.. i just have to arrange the photos of her.

[ROBS6T8]

Just read the entire thread.... very nice. What did you use to black out the trim around the windows? I was thinking of powdercoat? I have the windows out. Is this possible or is there another way? Thanks.

[ZuperZport]

.. and this car is going widebody.


Now THAT sounds COOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TMdyPSv0tc&feature=player_detailpage

Keep us posted Amir.

[srh3trinity]

Now you have me thinking my LQ4 sitting downstairs needs a hairdryer. Any ideas/plans you can share on the 6.0L Turbo? How far into it are you?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

shes on the backburner for a minute while i tickle my Japanese classic fix

but guess what?.. Stormy is going to get a built LS7 like Venny now!.. i have the LS7 already but im going to run through it.

Venny with my 71 240z and my 72 Celica

Looking good Amir....................very good!!!

Your Celica is Grade A Badass!!!! Without a doubt one of the very few left and taken to an amazing new level..........................................the Z reminds me of my ole' AFX set 240......so cool!

Oh yeah......and I very much like your 67......."a personal favorite of mine"!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

shoot.. you crazy, your car is one of the baddest camaros on 4 wide ass tires man!

[ZuperZport]

No man.........you got the badass Camaro.......without question as sinister as they get!!!

Would be cool to get the two of them together one day!!!!!!!!!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oooooookaaayy..

SO..

I decided to learn how to swap an LS in Stormy.. shes sat around long enough.
Ive sidelined in this game long enough.. im doing it myself.

this is how im going to do it.. Im going to keep this one simple..

im going to put in a truck 5.3 with a 4L60E that I have had forever.. and use the BRP kit to put this thing in her..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/11/676920fbody20kit-1.jpg

once I get her running and have proven to myself that I can manage this anytime and with proper confidence I will put this LS7 i have laying here at my shop in..

starting out..

humble beginning.. wish me luck!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/11/20120929184001-1.jpg

torn in..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/11/20121115121811-1.jpg

[larknut]

You got this, no problem. Are you staying fuel injected?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea I am, I want to toss this to the wife to test out in the end.. daily driver sort til I hotrod it more.

[WS6]

I'd come help out if I was back in Atlanta already, Amir. If I make it back before you finish, I'll let you know and offer my help then. As for the job itself, just take your time and do it right the first time. Plenty of resources here and on LS1tech to make this all happen. The hardest part will be all the little things; fittings, wiring, plumbing.

Good luck. Glad to see you working on her.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I know homie, thanks for that!

making a little progress..

put on the BRP engine mounts and mocked up the engine.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/11/20121117171518-1.jpg

[avewhtboy]

Cool I am in Atlanta not far away I should come by to check your project out sometime, I am in Tucker...

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea you should!

im in Chamblee.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

re sealed the whole engine..

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

Amir.. Great work, and I do like your style.. That Celica is bad ass for sure, and we need to start seeing more great examples of those here in the states, it seems the odd foriegn cars need a bit of love too.. ha ha

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Thanks man!

yea Im trying to just explore other avenues for this car thing... and lately its been better than worse.

[5280Racer]

Can wait to see more of it finished!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/12/20121127175354-1.jpg

get her ready for the LS2 front runner setup.. had a little bit of a problem with my fuel injectors being shorter with the LS1 manifold.. so I added FAST injector spacers.. I hope I didnt make a mistake using it.. ahahha

other than that.. I got the wrong harmonic balancer.. I got the LS1 one.. which I need the tight LS2 one.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/12/20121127175340-1.jpg

painted the bay, frame, manifold, and valvecover with a charcoal grey..

[bhcustomdesigns]

Looking good man! :twothumbs

[Z06killinSBF]

This thing is knarly, I dig it!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

my little Stormy update..

Got my little serpentine put on.. plus made a custom throttle cable.. really stealthy!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif[/URL][/img]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif[/URL][/img]

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

and the new BRP header setup.. fits very well!!
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif[/URL][/img]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif[/URL][/img]

I also did the power steering lines custom made at Pirtek hose and heat covered them..
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif[/URL][/img]

setup a new core support and used my old SBC aluminum radiator and mk8 fan.. not a bunch of space.. but ill take it.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2013/08/stormyswapMAY4-1.jpg

so yea.. little bit of stuff done.. still rolling on!

[Buryingthesun]

I like it!

I don't really want to call my car a street-fighter or a pro-tourer, I think of it as more of a "working car" not much show, boat loads of go (the go is in progress)

[sean.k.caddell]

Nice car I have been inspired by your streetfighters...now Im trying to build something of my own :yeah: anyway whats the story with your window trim its hard to tell if its there or not...oh what suspension did you go with? Have you ever done anything with the ridetech 4 link

[BuddyP]

That's awsome! Looking good!

I got a harmonic balancer truck pulley setup if ya need one.

[AZ's68]

so.... what happened with "storm"?? finished?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Oh man.. I forgot to keep up with this thread!.. lol

I am relatively done with Stormy in this phase 1.. heres how it played out.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/11/11251301264_4ae4e5dd3f_b-1.jpg

then I did the 69 Camaro grille.. WHICH WAS A BIISSHH...
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2014/11/11251300554_f2849f8aef_b-1.jpg

[ill steez]

What wheels are you running on it?? Cool looking car overall. 69 grille isn't my thing, but it's definitely unique.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

im running some Mparallels TEMPORARILY right now but im rehooping some Speedlines for her as we speak... heres how she sits now.

Damn! You're knocking it out the park with those Camaro's Vengeance!
