Rod Keeling's '67 Camaro Build

[BonzoHansen]

Good lord. Can't wait to see more!

[KHShapiro]

Don't leave us hanging!

[RodDawg]

First off the car looks incredible

10 more things - that's funny just wait till you see how many times you say that over the next few weeks

My gosh!!!! I can't tell you how right you were. Tracy has probably written me off by now (I hope not). I don't really have any updates at this time, just tying up loose ends (all of the glass is a real pain in my a$$). My buddy Pickle decided to come by and lend a hand last night. Man, it's so much easier when someone else is there to help. Since the last time I posted, I did decide to go ahead and install the Modo power lock actuators (thanks Mike).

I'll get a few pictures of the glass/fender area for those who asked, soon.


For Conrad - the specs on the stands are 12"x12"x12". Take a 2"x4"x16" and cut into 12" sections. Screw and nails them together (8 pcs tall) two at a time for your very own Jenga stand (just like DSE).

I remember that car..LOL

This to me is the Nicest looking '67 Camaro that I've ever seen.

Wow! Thanks! I would agree, but I am a little biased. Just wait until Tracy gets ahold of the interior. I am very anxious to see it myself.

[RodDawg]

Finally wrapping this thing up. In the last few weeks I've installed the power windows, door locks, Shiftworks shifter, seats, speaker wires, a/c and heater lines, wired the front end, and set the pinion angle. The driveshaft is ordered from Inland Empire and I have a couple of DSE pieces coming as well. This will finish the power steering. As soon as these last few pieces arrive, I'll be setting the car back on the ground and easing it down the driveway. Yay!

Sorry for the dark iphone pics.

Looking great Rod!

Car is looking GREAT!!! make sure Tracy Doesn''t Screw it up! lol probably could't have picked a better guy to do the interior.

[Jon Clough]

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

Rod, that car looks Awsome... Love the stance and wheels... I would really like to get some pictures of the car, if you have any done.... Great Job

[robsquezn]

dame thats badass

[itsals1]

Any updates?

[RodDawg]

Not much to update at the moment. I've finished the Vintage Air plumbing, power steering, etc...I'm just tying up a few loose ends and minor issues with the wiring. I found a small leak in my radiator (repaired), and did some tidying up of the engine compartment too.

I've also been trying to get the ride height/ground clearance right. The headers and trans pan are hanging 2" below the Speedtech subframe. I've been told to set the subframe at 4" from the ground. It looks really good like that, but only a shade over 2" GC to my headers doesn't look to work. Right now I have it set to 3.5" the headers (5.5" to subframe), but the ride height looks too high.

[Wesley J]

How are those headlights with integrated turn signals? I'm looking at those for my mustang but would like some feedback.

Car is f-ing beautiful!

Wes

[RodDawg]

I can't give much feedback regarding the headlights just yet. The car hasn't been driven. They look really cool, but the headlights seem cheap and aren't very bright. I wanted the integrated turn signals, and this is the only ones that I could find. I'll let you know once it hits the road.

Thanks for the compliment!

The camaro looks great,maybe Blake @ Speed-Tech can help you out with the ride height?

Travis

[Rybar]

Looks awesome Rod. I'd set it low, if the headers scrape a bit IMO it's not a big deal.

[Coursey]

This is one great build!

Will you have it ready to take to the mayfield cruise in's this summer?

Yep. I'm sure we'll make the rounds to a few of the Paducah and Mayfield cruise in's.


Travis,

Blake and I are trying to figure out why the headers are hanging so low below the subframe (1-7/8"). It looks like the engine is what's too low, but I can't see why.
