Project Defibrillator 73 Camaro

[73lt4]

I didn't like my old upper shock mounts so I made up some new ones. One of my buddies is coming over this weekend to tig them in

[WS6]

Those will look good on the car. I recommend the factory competition gray ones not chrome or silver.

[73lt4]

This is how it will set when it is airred down.

[73lt4]

WS6, I really like the competition grey ones too!

those wheels look sick on that car

[cdoggy81]

She looks good!

[EL T1]

I vote for the grey Z's also. SSIICK!!

I was gonna say keep the old wheels, but after seeing the Z06 wheels in it, man, they look plain mean. If you're gonna lay some stripes or some other accent to the body (black panels, I dunno), get them in that same colour.

Sick build, I'll show it to a friend that just got himself a 71. He'll love the stuff.

I love those Z06 wheels, they look like they fit perfect.

Those Z06 wheels look awesome. I've wanted to put some on my '71 for a while now and I think you've made it final! Just a quick question. You mentioned that the car is minitubbed, just wondering whether you are running spacers on the rear end and is it the stock 10-bolt rear? Thanks and keep the pics coming!

The car is minitubbed with the DSE kit to move the leaf springs in board. It does have the stock 10 bolt but if I remember correctly when I had new bearing ends put on it to elimnate the c-clips it ended up being an inch wider that stock so you may have to run a half inch spacer to get the clearence needed (They fit but its tight)

Been awhile since I last updated been pretty busy on the car Have basicly been putting it all together to make sure everything fits before final blow apart and reassembly. Modified the inner fender wells to cover the new upper shock mounts.

The brake system is plumbed, used the 7/8 bore Wilwood MC.

Got the Ride Tech tank, compressors and battery mounted.



More to come.

[73lt4]

This is how it looks with the Z06 wheels, this is at ride height.

Got my Rick's Tank the other day, Hector is a pleasure to do bussiness with.

That's about it for now, I have had lots of time to work on the car, I retired last month after 30 years being a Paramedic, I must say I am having a good time!

[CruizinKev]

looks awesome with the rims!

[bigshotsho93]

[TheRev]

[73lt4]

Thanks guys, I really like the rims also.

Been awhile since last update, I have been putting a cage in the Camaro. I have the best friends in the world my buudy Steve loaned me is tubing bender and has spent many hours tig welding the cage in. Having a bender on site sure makes it easy to get the cage tucked in tight and the tubing run right where you want it.
