      FlatBlack Performance

      Hi!

      I'll start writing a bit about my project, it's a Camaro -69 SS/RS that I have owned since I was 18 (now 25).

      There is too much to write about what I have done over the years but here are some pictures and a list of some of the things I've done / are doing this year.
      Rear suspension / chassis:
      3-link (home-built)
      Coilovers (Koni double adjustable with Eibach springs)
      Watts (home built)
      Rear brakes (Wilwood four-piston calipers and discs)
      Subframe connectors (Hotchkis)

      Front Suspension:
      Disc brakes front (C6 Z06 six-piston calipers 14" discs)
      Spindle (ATS AFX)
      Upper A-arm (Speed ​​Tech)
      Shock absorber (Koni)

      Steering:
      Box (ATS, Lee 670 12.7:1)
      Pump (Lee TC with cooling)

      Rims / Tires:
      Front
      CCW SP510 18" * 8.5"
      Toyo R888 245 18"
      Rear
      CCW SP510 18" * 11"
      Toyo R888 315 18"

      Interior:
      Split rear seat from a -71 Camaro
      3-point seat belt for child seat (highest priority;) I got a daughter 5 months ago)

      Exhaust system:
      Finally welded, was made in 2009 with homemade x-pipe and Borla dampers.


      Lower coilover mount (Chassisworks)


      Koni double adjustable coilovers


      Propeller for Watts link (Thanks Jim @ Fays2)


      Some pictures of the rear inner fenders that will be widened a bit to make room for 315 tires.





      The exhaust system



      Tested with my sister's 315 tires from her Mustang, seems to fit OK.



      Upper front mount for the 3-link


      Wheels and brakes


      When I was building the Watts link




      Old and new brakes


      Spindles and A-arms



      Parts for 3-link that has been TIG welded and powder coated

      Testing to mount rear suspension








      Hard to keep order in such a crowded garage, but it works! (Changes the air suspension system on my dads Cadillac dad too )



      If you're wondering why I am replacing my old rims, now you know why...

      Thanks!

      I could try the Koni's on for the first time yesterday. Some minor adjustments left untill they are perfect in place. And yes, I know that the quality is bad, I'll try getting a better camera then in my phone...
