now just have to make new upper shock mount brackets

[BritishGreen68]

Why did you cut off the old shock mounts? Nice to see another Camaro on airbags around here!

[robertjra]

i didnt trust them and i got a shock with more travle so i wanted to relocate the upper mount and make it stronger this way i can drive at full hight and lay it on the frame

[robertjra]

i got my new steel to make the upper shock mount. will weld this up on my next day off keep you all posted
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2010/11/74051_169171949767974_100000255100572_48-1.jpg

[robertjra]

i started to mock up the upper shock mounts coming along nicely its a lot of work but it will be varry strong when its all done

[67goatman455]

:scared:

[robertjra]

I know it looks like a hack job right now but it is still in mock up. I will clean and grind all the pices off when I take it back apart when I'm done it will look pro.

[67goatman455]

are you using an arc welder?

[robertjra]

No its a old wire feed with no gass or flux core the welds are only to hold it in place I will take it to the local shop to have it all done the wright way

[robertjra]

Has anyone done this on there frame I would love to see how you did yours

[robertjra]

Still working on the frame getting it ready for the powder coat has anyone put the frame on the body with out any bushings and if you did tell me everything.

[ponjohn]

When you remove all the sheet metal like you did, what do you use for a reference?

I assume the panels just don't fall into place, where do you take measurements from to make sure it is square?

Thanks for the info.

[robertjra]

you have to bace it all up before you take any thing off on the inside of the car when its time to put it all back on every thing just gets clamped into place loose and all the gaps are cheked before anything is welded you have to put the doors on and the trunk everything has to be inplace

[ponjohn]

So you actually welded some angle iron or the like to maintain the "shape" and use for reference?

[robertjra]

ya its more of a brace but the inner structure is very strong but the main thing is to put all the body panels on without welding and fit it all so you can tweak things and move stuff around. the pic's i have don't show the brace that good but if you go to some of the other builds on this site you can see it better.

[Swainbuilt]

Your sure not afraid to cut things up :)

[twosaturns]

Looks GRATE! lolz...

[robertjra]

nop not at all I'll cut any thing!!!!

[robertjra]

lots of work planed for this thing soon i will keep all of you posted

[robertjra]

[ModedCB2]

I commend you on your guts to dive in. Looks like you've got a handle on the mechanical side of things....

Sorry.... in advance... sorry.... but it GRATES (as in to chew/knaw/grind into bits) on me when you don't use the GREAT feature called SPELL CHECK... a random forgotten letter or misspelling... that's cool, we all get excited.

Please, if this thread grows the way I really hope it does & we can all see the GREAT results... use the spell check on your posts...

[robertjra]

thanks on the spell check i cant spell to save my life but.... i can turn a wrench.

[Gandalf]

Great build man - keep it comin'! Looking good.

[robertjra]

OK i did lots of work today so check it out the first thing i did was install the new mounts on my l92 and it was perfect! fits nice and snug and as always i have some pics!!
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/254269_219848481366987_100000255100572_8-1.jpg

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/248731_219850344700134_100000255100572_8-1.jpg
and this is just so i can move the car around a little better i will be installing the torque arm and the m9 rear end in the next 6 months or so have to save up a little more
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/246609_219850831366752_100000255100572_8-1.jpg
now she is sitting on all 4 tires and dang the front end is low with no air in the bags
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/253679_219851101366725_100000255100572_8-1.jpg

so with no air in the bags the lowest point is 1 and 1/2" and its the oil pan i think a skid plate will have to be made!
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/05/250692_219851591366676_100000255100572_8-1.jpg

[robertjra]

Looking for a little help from all of you. If you have seen my build thin you know I'm trying to do all of this on my own and that I'm till in the mock up stage, oh ya and I have a budget, I think my next step should be the rear end and the torqe arm from speed tec? What do all of you think? Thank for all of your imput! Just want to see what all of you would do if it was your car

[daytonayellaz]

Robert.. Can you post a pic of the stock tunnel you cut out sitting over the trans so we can see how far off it is?? Im wondering if you can do a little hammering and add back a little sheet metal where needed and use the stock tunnel?

Im wondering if you can do a little hammering and add back a little sheet metal where needed and use the stock tunnel?Like he said...can you sit the stock tunnel over it and add a strip of sheet metal along each side to get the height you need to clear? If it isn't wide enough...split it down the middle and add a strip there to widen it.

[robertjra]

My next day off I will do that most of the fitment prob is at the bellhousing cus of the 1" back kit I think I will need a new trans fill tube also

[robertjra]

Great build man - keep it comin'! Looking good.

your 69 looks very good i keep checking on your build all the time!!!!

[robertjra]

mock up on the trans tunnel looks like i will need 1 1/2" of steel to fill in what do all of you think if i use some thicker steel from the fire wall all the way down to the cross member to tie the body in a little tighter? hope you all are still fallowing me but the cross member i want to use is the one that DSE built and cuts into the floor like this pic
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/06/DSE011201_detail1-1.jpg
i think this will make the body stronger and help with flex also i have to make my own cross member any way so... oh ya i have a pic of the tunnel with the cut out piece on top of the trans i used some 3/4" wood blocks on top of the trans to get room for servicing and adjustment of angles cables wiring etc....... this is what the gap looks like.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/06/253777_221560931195742_100000255100572_8-1.jpg
by the way i don't care how much the car weighs i will not be racing it all the time, prob just some road race and daily driving and some auto cross just for fun oh ya and all burn outs i can get away with. lol

[robertjra]

so i orderd the lokar 6l80e trans midnight fill tube so i can keep moving on, cant wait to build my trans cross member!!!!!!!!

[robertjra]

look what i have !!!!! 2x3" steel tube and 1x3/4" steel time to make a cross member every thing cost me $30.00

[robertjra]

well its all smoothed and the frame is back on im not happy with the way it came out so my plan is to get the rear suspension in the car (when Hotchkis has the 3 link ready to go hope by Feb-march!!!) thin get the car running and drive it for 6 months or so to get all the bugs out, and after that do a full plate of steel!!

[RBEAST]

good to see you've started back up on car or at least posting updates again , looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!
have you decided on a color yet?

[kevincp]

Nice Job..lot of work. thanks for sharing

[19,69camaro]

Not trying to be too critical, but I would grind out those welds on the rear-end brackets and do them over. From the pictures you dont seem to be getting it hot enough and its just balling up in the middle.

I have to agree 100% some are real cold with no penetration. Better to be safe.

[robertjra]

[robertjra]

nice progress. dimple dies are awesome!

Thanks I'm going to do the rear window the same way. I love my dimple dies kind of hard to come by got mine from SPC but for the price I expected some sort of case or box, they just sent them in plastic bags.

[robertjra]

Dose any one know if an exhaust shop can bend roll cage tubing

[Pete68]

Great build. Subscribed...

[robertjra]

So life happens to us all bit I never gave up on this build work moved me to Montana (my home town) when I moved here my first goal was to buy land and build my own shop house, I wanted to build this with my own 2 hands so with some help from friends and lots of late nights.... took 3 and a half years to complete but I did it debt free no mortgage no loans!!! So the Camaro was on the back burner but now the shop house is complete and I'm happy to say the Camaro will soon pick right back where I left off so enjoy a few pictures and stay tuned because I'm stepping up my game on the Camaro!!!!

[robertjra]
