Infinity Camaro LS3 Project

[Blevinator]

Gonna be one sick ride! Kudos to doing what you want with the car and not caring what people think! I'm also on a chevelle site and there are plenty of people not pleased with my concept! Lol... Surprisingly, there are actually alot that do though. Looking forward to sreing your surprises. I love outside the box!

Thanks Zip!
I have seen several outside the box LS cars selling for alot of $$. LS swaps seemed to be an acceptable
mode of transport for many. Its funny. I bought a restored car just to tool around in, and ended up here.
Should call it Project Money Pit, but am quite sure that name has been already taken. Infinity is the name of the project.
The name of the car will be unleashed once the beast itself is let out of its cage.

Just sent my deluxe door panels,rear side panels,dash pad,grab handle,a pillar panels, and rear package shelf panel to Mike, my fiberglasser.
He is re designing them (as he did with the center console) out of fiberglass. I am recovering all in leather. Should be interesting!
Thanks for the positive feedback! PM me the site and name of your car!!!

very nice job so far,hard to beat the ls motors

[Blevinator]

Amen!
I know someone will surely shoot me for this, and maybe it's because I dont know any better, but
I feel,all things considered (power per cubic inch,physical weight,gas mileage,durabilty,etc.) LS motors are
unbeatable. If there is a motor out there that is better in all of these catagories, let me know! Ill buy one!
My 505hp Z06 got near 25mpg highway!

No doubt about the money pit! Lol. I actually was expecting to see an infinity 5.6 in your car when I saw the title! Haha.. I wanted to rob my nissan titan at one point if not for the unique sound, then for pure messin with the purists factor! You obviously will have an insane car capable of many things!

Nice looking build so far! What size wheels are on the car now?

Nice looking build so far! What size wheels are on the car now?

17x9 rear (may be 8.5)
17x8 front (I think)

Looking at 18x10
19x12 (whatever Corvette size is)
Eliminating leaf springs, notched the frame. DSE tubs installed.
More pics of the seam sealing, metal work next week!
Added more parts pics above.
Thanks!!!

This is a great looking project, I will love to see it as it evolves. Nice choice on the LS swap. I am almost finished with my LS2 swap in a 74 Corvette. I was very unsure if I was doing the right thing by choosing the LS, but at this point, nearly finished, I feel I made the right choice. I feel the Gen 1 motors are a thing of the past and we will see many more choosing to do the LS swap.

Sure is some work!!
Going over all metal, even under the car to make sure lines flow well.

Love to see Fedex at the door!
Anvil Auto '68 Valance.
Should I leave it carbon fiber or paint with the car?

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Id leave it carbon depending on how well it matches the paint...

Paint will be black, so maybe starting out cf is a good idea.
Thank you!

Just ordered Morris Classic Concepts driving lights and 3 point seat belts (front)
plus rear lap belts.
Billy has the ability to leave out the amber parking light lamp for use with my 68 Anvil Auto valance.
He is making mine up to work with the dash mounted switch versus working
only with the high beams. Now thats service!!
Robin (not sure if I spelled her name right) at Morris Classic is wonderful to talk to and will treat
you like gold! I recommend ordering directly from them! Ill post pics of the parts once I get them.
Car still in paint prison, but should be out soon with any luck!

Very nice build! post some pics of the 3 point belts when you have a chance! I'm doing a 69 almost Identical to this build and just got it back from paint...Project Schism... Can't wait to see how yours turns out! Good luck!

[zipsimons]

definitely interested in seeing those morris lights! looking for some for the 69 valance that became one with my 72 chevelle bumper! I was wondering if you could get them as fogs only... now I know, thanks!

Think I am going to do the carbon fiber rear spoiler as well.
Should go well.
Want to do just enough carbon fiber to stand out, without looking tacky.

Will post pics soon!
