Project: Camaro 68' P/T Muscle

[Tweak]

Hey George, found car on eBay, took a gamble, paid off. Body was mint with 68k original miles.. pretty easy importing, just have to get a import code, no cost...they sting for gst etc on all purchases..I ended up using fps to import my parts, but only economical if it's cubic metre..give me a call if u got any questions..021 0418569

Absolutely love the stance!! Can you post specifics on the wheels and tires along with the specs on the rear end? Specifically width and backspacing on the wheels? Thanks very much!!

Hey, wheels are American Ra ing 8.5 x 15's on back, 7 x 15's front, Mickey Thompson 12" rear 1O" front. From memory diff is 57" wide, it's a standard width from a mustang, not sure what year..my diff is a mustang diff stock. Cheers

Where did you get the line brackets with the two different sizes? im trying to find some for my fuel lines for -8 and -6 return as well as my brake lines. Thanks.

Got them from a buddy here in nz, but he would have got them from socal some where..

What are your rear wheel specs? specifically the back space? Did you have to narrow the rear end at all to fit the wheel and tire combo you have? Sorry for all the questions, Im just trying to sort out my 15x10.3" 3.5"bs wheels. What tire size did you choose for the rear it looks perfect!

Rear tires 12" Mickey Thompson's, my mate had them on a 1O" rim, didn't look as good, a bit stretched..think bs is 4", no option with that rim..built diff to size once I had them under car..cheers

Engine in at machine shop, thought I'd make a start on my over radiator air box..going to 3d print it from abs plastic... should be interesting

Started wiring up hot chocolate, hood lining just been fitted by an old pro Brian, awesome job. Sail panels, mirror, light, sun visors and all the edge trim going on next sunday. Still need to finish final pieces of the front belts, then we can fit new repro quarter inside panels.

[Tweak]

Finally getting around to finishing my front seatbelts. 3d printed belt tracks run the belt inside the quarter panel and keep them dry..

hi, did you change your mind and go 9"?hope you are saving all you drawings ie subframe /seat belts,regards

Hey, yeah, once i got my wheels and tires mounted so I could measure diff width, there was a mustang 9" housing that had updated bearings and Strange axles the right width on trademe. Was a pretty easy choice, got a Currie Trutrac and wilwood 4 pot brakes. Not cheap, but shouldn't have any problems going forward.

Stewart Warner gauges and retro sound stereo all in. Not sure I'd recommend retro sound, not overly impressed with the fitment quality..ecu time, not sure yet where to fit, under dash hopefully

[Tweak]

Called into machine shop today. Final assembly well underway

[Tweak]

Ecu all fitted. Had to reconfigure some of the loom. No room for glove box. Only place it could fit

Beautiful job! I'm getting close to wiring, not looking forward to it.
