"Grace" - 67 Camaro Driver

BTW, you may want to reconsider using those cinder blocks to supports the full weight of the car. Those are known to crack/collapse under load.

Nice work Don! Those brakes should bring the car to a stop in a hurry. I'm running the same Z51 front brakes and from the little I drove the car, it stopped very quickly. I'll grab that sway bar from you next time I'm in the area.

It’s here waiting for you - doesn’t take up too much space either - lol

I agree completely-99.9% of the weight is currently supported by 4 jack stands and 2 wood tire blocks I made out of 2x4 - the 2 blocks in the front I can move around - put them there more for piece of mind - figured if at some point I couldn’t move them I had an issue and if a jack stand fails it may give me a moment to react.

These showed up fast!


Rough idea of placement

Test fitting flares - got some finish work to do on these - wish me luck I’m not a body guy but I like a challenge.

Great work.. Flares are a love hate thing for me.. I love'em,, I hate'em... I think they look bad ass... no they don't,, Yes they do.. no.. yes..

I know the feeling but at the end of the day I didn’t have $10k for a front sub frame (or the talent) to do the work in 6 months. Going to matte black the flares and new wheels so I’m hoping it all works out. Also going to remove the front bumper and add a splitter I think, no I’m not, no wait yes I am - lol

Having a hard time choosing the final wheel from Rushforth - Rated X’s or Live Wires.

I vote the 5 spoke.. I suppose thats the "Rated X" ?

Those wheel flares change the whole look of the car, looks so much meaner!

Busy month or so. Alignment scheduled for Thursday and 1st Autocross up here is a week from Sunday!

She’s back on the ground with the new wheels and suspension upgrades.
Final steps include:
Bleed brakes
Install rear shocks
Alignment
Final testing of wheel clearance
Re-positioning the flares
Install hood vents and air cleaner
Radio that never was installed last year.

Looks like your car is going to rip someone's head off!

great build!, mind me asking what front grill you are using?

[Dons67]

It’s developed a bit of an attitude over the last few years. Lol

Just hoping to be able to drive up to the cars potential, have 2 school days lined up to help with that.

Little Easter project - Trackspec hood vents

great build!, mind me asking what front grill you are using?

It was a few years ago and I’m not 100% but I am 90% positive it was the one from Camaro Central - I didn’t like polished so I had it Powdercoated satin black with the original headlight buckets and the top and bottom trim pieces. I also upgraded to a LED headlight that has signals built in for running/turn.
