[BLUE72CAMARO]

Just thought I would say hi to everyone. I am currently building a 72 camaro.

[TEDDYS CAMARO]

Welcome to the board. Can you tell us more about your camaro?

[BLUE72CAMARO]

Well right now it is more a pile of parts than it is a car. But I am getting close to start assembling it. It is just a 72 base coupe was originally a big block car though. I have a 454 that dynoed at 490hp setting on a stand waiting for it. It will be backed by a t-56. The rearend is a 8.5 10bolt with moser axles, eaton posi and 3.73 gears, it still has c-clips because i had to have a parking brake. The suspension is stock control arms with del-alum bushings, lowering spindles with 12" wilwood brakes, and qa1 coilovers up front. The rear is hotchkis lowering springs and a set of caltrac bars. The steering is beign upgraded to a agr 12:1 box. I plan on mini tubbing the rear to get a little more room for the rear tires. The wheels and tires are 17x8 and 17 x11 Torque Thrust II's ( yeah, I know everyone has them, but I got a hell of a deal and I like how they look so they will work for a while). That is about all the info I can think of right now.

Here are a few pics of my car when I got it and a pic of the motor for it. If you look in the background of the motor pic you can see the subframe of the car a few months ago.


ALso for you guys that are in the area I live just north of edwardsville IL.

Another thing you guys in the area know of any good body shops to put new quarters on and paint the car for me? I dont have the time or the patience for body work.

Sorry, I wish I knew of a good Body shop to refer you. I am not near that stage just yet.

Edwardsville is not that far from Columbia
