      New Guy - Camaro Crazy in AZ

      Hi everyone I'm new up here and have a 79z28 I Call NV to share.
      I am the second owner and purchased it after selling my 1971 Firebird in the summer 1985. I wanted something newer with AC and all the options including T-Tops. I have fixed, replaced or rebuilt everything on this car and it was my daily driver that took me to work each day and brought home 3 of my kids after they were born from the hospital. I started my total transformation of NV in Jan of 2009. This was just 3 month before taking delivery of my new 2010 Camaro. Every nut and bolt was removed for this frame off restoration. All metal parts were media blasted and either repainted or powder coated. The front and rear suspension was not just upgraded but totally replaced with the latest and best available DSE aftermarket parts I could find. I selected Detroit Speed Engineering components for a lot of the build after seeing their 2nd Gen Camaro perform and handle so well. The engine is a 650HP GM naturally aspirated LS7 custom built by Mast Motor sports. The transmission is a heavy duty GM 4L85E electronic automatic 4 speed with overdrive. The rear end is a 9” Mosier posi 3:73 monster. Wide Nitto Invo tires are wrapped around the Chrome Foose Nitrous II wheels. Bear Pro plus 6 piston 14” disk brakes front and rear help the Hydro boast deluxe brake system to stop the car on a dime. The seats are out of a 2006 GTO and the interior is all wrapped in custom black leather with red stitching. The custom dash holds all new red speedhut 6 gauges that have a 79 z28 logo to complement the Z28 embroidery theme on the seats.

      The build took more than two years and it's currently in the final stage of tuning and working out the bugs.


      Here are a couple of pics and a movie showing the build.

      Thanks - I had to lower the floor a bit for th motors but everything works - power seats are nice and the lever to swing the seat forward works perfect for this application.
