What is happening with this project? Where are you Tyler?

Wow...I remember reading about this way back on LS1Tech... Always loved this car and for some time considered doing the C5 chassis under the Chevelle. Would love to see some progess Tyler!

[Rybar]

I recall Rodger saying they will get back on it after the SEMA thrash. This is a car I like many others really want to see done, and I remember this car from CamaroZ28.com days when he was the pioneer and transplanted back then latest and greatest LT1 and T56 tranny.

Hey guys. I've been lurking around here and biting my tongue trying to keep myself out of trouble. The project is in the que at Ironworks, sounds like some serious milestones are going to be hit after SEMA.
Rodger was working on an insane truck that will be at the SEMA show as well as a 67 Camaro that has some killer work done to it.
He has been the best builder I have ever worked with and I can't stress enough how happy I am with his work, communication, pricing, and ethics. The Camaro will be hitting the ground on its own wheels shortly. Can't wait to see it as a roller again.

Looks great Tyler.
I've been following your car since before you sent it to Wayne's shop.
Sorry to see that things didn't work out but I think in the end you have a way better product.
I see that you went with C6 in the back now instead of the C5. I love the flares, they look killer and they are appropriate for the style of the car.

I've been away from this group for a while now. I was a member when Larry first started it, probably 11 or 12 years ago now. I know my second son wasn't born and he's 10 now.
At the time I had a 69 Camaro and I built my own front subframe using C4 vette and a Dana 44 IRS out back. I sent it to a shop to get a full chromoly cage installed which the guy did a great job on.
The sheet metal work to button up the holes was another thing though. I know how you feel when you have to do something over again. I ended up install a complete new replacement floor and redoing a whole bunch of other items.
I had an LS1 and T56 in the car, unfortunately I got separated before the completion of the car and had to sell it.
So that's about 7 years ago, lots has changed, I hope to have another 69 Camaro project by spring of next year.
Plans are for LS3, the new 6060 six speed, Dutchman 9" IRS center section, full C6 front and rear and maybe a cage, not sure about that yet.

It's good to see some familiar names still in the game.
I looked for the old pics of my car from the previous site but I guess Larry has purged those now.

Look forward to seeing more pics.

Hey all. Had people on other forums ask about the car ans yes, the car is still at Ironworks.
Lucky for me Rodger has been super awesome to work with, keeping me updated on where it is in the que and being patient with me as life gets in the way of building cars. I'm totally fine with being on the back burner as watching Greg's bubble top is giving me ideas on how to dump more money into it while it is in Rodgers possession.

In the mean time, John McBride and I have been revisiting the body modifications and are working out a new extractor hood and side rocker to match the amazing flares that Ironworks did.

I'm happy with the hood design, but I'm still up in the air with the rockers. What do you guys think?

Hood:


Rocker 1:


Rocker 2:


Rocker 3:


Rocker 4:


I'm leaning toward number 2 myself, but I almost feel a combo of 1 and 2 mixed might be the hot ticket.

Double post!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

number 2 all day

[Bryce]

Number 2, but extend the rear of the flare to cover the tire. It will be more aerodynamic and reduce drag.

[srh3trinity]

Number two looks great. Love the hood.

[olds87]

I like the 2 and 3 mixed.

[TheBandit]

Any of those rocker shapes will look good. I really like the hood. Have you made any progress in the last couple of months?

[Dalamar]

Amazing work!


I really like rocker 1. Matches the lines of the flair IMO.

number 2 all day

Time to lay off the fiber...
