'67 Camaro SCCA build
Hi everyone,
I haven't posted much but have been doing a lot of reading on this site over the past year or more. Learned a lot of great things from the experiences of the generous members here.
Bought my '67 Camaro yesterday and am finally about to get started. Since I'm on a lot of different message boards, I've decided to detail the build on my own site, this way I only have to update a single message board instead of several.
Here's the link:

If you have any questions about it, feel free to email [email protected]
Thanks again to everyone for all you've shared!--Jason Rhoades

Yeah, good luck with your build. At least it appears you have a solid platform to start with judging by the pics.

Cool build, but I have my doubts on the competitiveness of a 1st gen in STX... Good luck!

Still a long long way from completion, but I did pick up the motor last weekend and got a couple vids of it on the dyno. Started an analysis of the front suspension also, a few posts down.

Thanks for the update Jason; and to think I had almost forgotten about your car. I really appreciate all of the info you have supplied on the suspension woes as I have tried to take into consideration most of it.

I've been up to Pat's several times in the past few months. I saw your car there and wished it was my car getting the awesome treatment Pat and his crew give each and every car they take in. Someday I hope to give Pat the big check for the paint/body.
Looks Great!Johnny C.

I'm looking forward to running the RTCC next year. They really ought to change the treadwear tire limit from 200 to 140, to match the SCCA. The tires I get for the car will be under 200tw so I can be competitive in STX, but that means I have to run the exhibition class or whatever at the P-T events. Not going to get a second set of tires (and tune the car for them) just for those events.
Still, my car's tires will be so much skinnier than everyone else's, it should more than negate any compound/construction advantage.--Jason Rhoades

Have wheels now, but still a ways to go. Hoping for ignition by new years.
