      2nd Chance Camaro - BBT Firewall Modifications

      2012 08-15 Update - 2nd Chance Camaro - BBT Firewall Modifications
      www.2ndchancecamaro.com

      Evening All,

      While the car was at BBT Fab the guys did a little work cleaning up the firewall.

      Some of the holes didn't line up when I tried to install the Close Out panel . So I had Troy weld up the existing holes and
      installed Nut-Zerts in the firewall. This was also a chance to install his new hardware.

      Why did they have to weld in the wiper motor section? Did they modify it at all?

      Is that firewall plate a BBT piece or DSE?

      Hi Matt,

      From the factory they are pretty sloppy looking and globbs of seam sealer. Welding it up allows it to be smoothed and then painted for a clean look.

      It's the DSE piece and it's pretty darn cool. I actually had this one and the complete cut & replace version. Since the car's theme is an old factory race car that has been updated this part fit the bill much better.

      I actually prefer the look of the plate and the tasteful smoothing. I am not a huge fan of these perfectly smoothed firewalls, sometimes it comes off a little too street rod looking. I want to smooth what I can, but I will probably go with this plate when I switch over the Vintage Air. For now, I am going to give the stock suitcase a try and see if I can get it to work with an LSX.

      2nd Chance Camaro - BFG 295's on the Rear

      2012 09-22 Update - BFG 295's on the Rear
      www.2ndchancecamaro.com

      Evening all,

      Picking the right tires for your car is important, it can make or break the final look . As much as I like the big tire look out back it just doesn't fit with the plan for this car. The goal is to have something that looks very classy and timeless. So the ideal size for this project would be somewhere around 12" wide.

      Remember timeless is the goal for this car.



      What was funny is I asked everyday people what they thought of the tire combo on this car while it was sitting in my garage and everyone
      said the same thing.

      Looks Perfect !! Not to big, not to small just like the perfect bowl of porridge - Just Right



      Some of the cool tools that I have laying around from the Syborg TT project is the Wheel Mate. It sure makes test fitting tires easy !!



      You can see that there is plenty of clearance using the stock rear spring perches.



      Quick look from the rear and you can there is plenty of tire out back.

      2nd Chance Camaro - Billet Specialties Mag G Wheels

      2012 09-22 Update - Billet Specialties Mag G Wheels
      www.2ndchancecamaro.com

      Evening all,

      Scott from Billet Specialties was kind enough to come over and confirm the backspacing. He also dropped off the test rims to make
      sure everything fit as we hoped. Using the stick you can confirm tire clearance when the suspension run's through it's travel.



      If your spin the rim you can check for other clearance issue's.



      The 2 1/2" on the stick shows upward travel for the rear suspension. You need to make sure that when the tire goes up it doesn't
      connect with the inner wheel tubs.



      Picture of the rim just after it was finished at Billet Specialties. I can't wait to pick them up and fit them on the car.



      The finished wheel mounted on the car.

      2nd Chance Camaro - GTO Rollers

      2012 09-23 Update - GTO Rollers
      www.2ndchancecamaro.com

      Morning all,

      Now that the wheels have been chosen it's time to find a set of mock up wheels that will clear the Kore3 brakes. Chad Fletcher told
      me about the GTO spares and I was lucky enough to find a few of them. One for the car as a spare and apparently four of them for
      Kenny. He told me that I would not be getting them back as he needed them more then I do.

      Marty, are the GTO spares the 17"?
      If they are, I think they will fit over the rears but not the fronts(Z51 calipers).
      I have been looking for a spare that will fit over both.
      Check out my thread on it. This is what I have found out.

      I just have to have the center bored and I will know for sure.

      2nd Chance Camaro - Setting the Ride Height

      2012 09-23 Update - Setting the Ride Height
      www.2ndchancecamaro.com

      Evening all,

      Okay time to set the car at the desired ride height.



      The front is going to need some work to get it a little lower.



      Looks like we are off about 1 1/2" that should be easy to fix
