A mild pro touring 2nd gen Camaro Project

[romanss]

So this past summer I decided to buy a 1973 Camaro that I could drive and tinker with over each winter while the car and I "rest"

It's a nice driver. Not perfect, but a nice looking car.



Presently the car is near stock, has a 383 stroker, 3.73 10 bolt with a turbo 350.

I had to put a front spoiler on the car. I love that look so much more.

I am happy to get back into a driver. My last car turned into a full out race car when I was finished. Never again.

I gave myself some "rules" for myself from now on.

1- No cage. I bought the Camaro so my twin boys can go cruising and to the odd race track with me.
2- No slicks. That will keep the weak link at the tires.
3- No parts get removed from the car. It will retain the wipers, blower, bumper supports, etc etc

My plans for this winter are:

- Year One 5 spoke wheels. 8 inch fron, 9 inch rear. I like the staggered look. With a future option to mini tub the rear and get the 8 inch rims widened to 12 inch and the 9 inch rims go to the front.

- Front upper/lower a-arms, sway bar, 2 inch drop springs and shocks

- Rear 2 inch drop springs and sway bar.

- A new starter. The stock one overheats and embarrasses me when it gets heat soaked.

I bought the car with a dent in the hood. It's a reverse dent. The guy before me shut the hood without checking if the new air cleaner stud would clear. Well it didn't. I started straightened the dent myself using dry ice and a blow dryer. Ive worked on it for about 30 minutes and it's almost gone. Time for more dry ice and I'll get back at it.
