Here is some updates for this week.. Customer wanted to run a booster on the car.. so we got one from DSE but did not like the way they angle up.. so we changed it a bit.. modified the firewall & pedal base to sit mounted on firewall.. wait till you see what I am doing for clutch Master cylinder.. DWG it up to get it machined this week.. Trying to use as many OE components..
Got the car on the jig! Starting the fender stretch this week..

I love that tire tool... you're not guessing on back spacing and rim width with that!

Floor torrsional stiffness
Here is a pic of a stock floor with no sub-connectors.. one of the weakness of a first gen Camaro is that the center of the floor has no bracing to really help body flex.. They corrected this problem on the 2nd gens..
Here is something that I am doing to help add stiffness to the center of the car.. This 68 already had DSE sub-frame connectors on it when it arrived @ the shop... so I added a convertible OE factory center stiffening brace that goes from rocker to rocker tied in to the sub-frame connector & a Hotckis bolt on brace.. We still need to finish adding the pcs to the sub-frame connector to rocker.. but I think you guys get the idea.. when done it should give it a triangulated effect on the center of the floor.. I remember this feature on convertibles from my days of restoring first gen Camaros..
