[robertjra]

looking good so far

thanks all the nice words from everyone makes it EZ to keep me motivated to stay working on my dream car i will be doing a lot this weekend
i.e bolting the frame to the body and cutting out the trans tunnel to make room for the 6l90e also more front sub frame work!!

[Gandalf]

Great build man - keep it comin'! Looking good.

[robertjra]

OK i did lots of work today so check it out the first thing i did was install the new mounts on my l92 and it was perfect! fits nice and snug and as always i have some pics!!


the next thing was to bolt up the sub frame to the body lol ya that's all just bolt it up! from what i found no one else has installed a 6l90e into a 1969 camaro and this trans is huge!!!! so a little mock up and well if you know me its time to cut something!



not even close to fitting no guts no glory.



well we have room to fit the 6 speed in now all i have to do is bolt in the frame!!

and this is just so i can move the car around a little better i will be installing the torque arm and the m9 rear end in the next 6 months or so have to save up a little more

now she is sitting on all 4 tires and dang the front end is low with no air in the bags


so with no air in the bags the lowest point is 1 and 1/2" and its the oil pan i think a skid plate will have to be made!


that's all for today hope you all like it and if any of you have some suggestions or comments let me know i love hearing input from all of you!!!!

[Ron.in.SoCal]

Robert...oil pan sits a skutch low, IMHO. Is that the L92 pan?

[robertjra]

no its the hot rod pan from gm performance but the bags are all the way flat when i air it up to ride height i will have over 4" of clearance

[robertjra]

Has any one used a universal transmission tunnel kit? i don't have a bead roller or a brake to bent sheet metal, i could cut and price it together but i want a one pice tunnel.
