Yet another 1967 Camaro build thread.

[gardnerme]

That's a shame, as he gets recommended quite a bit here. Didn't you also have the same delivery problems from the same vendor in the past?

Sure did - my Moser axle seemed to take while to get here, but that was a custom build ( not off the shelf). The level of communication was bad then, too, though. My brake package order showed up wrong the first time, but he was great about fixing it. Now I remember why I had quit ordering through him.

[gardnerme]

If I ever talk about ordering from him again, I hereby give you permission to shoot me.

You got it. If you paid with a credit card, you also have the option of cancelling the order and getting your money back (as long as it hasn't been more than 60 days).

Yes - paid with cc, but I already paid the bill (to avoid interest charges) which could make the charge more fun to dispute.

[SparkyRnD]

As long as the payment is less than 60 days ago, it doesn't matter if you already paid the bill or not. If you dispute the charges for product not received, they will remove the money from his account immediately, then the burden is on him to prove that the product was already shipped out before the dispute.

Looks great!! With the exception of the shocks, I'm running the same suspension set up including the M9 housing. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks, Mike! I dug through your thread a good bit and yours is looking awesome, too. It looks as though we will have very similar underpinnings (I even have the same brake package you do) but you are definitely taking your to the next level everywhere else! Do you mind telling me whose rear sway bar you chose? I need to make that decision soon, too. I also like how you to it to fit with the back brace on your rear axle. When I ordered my housing, I chose not to have the brace put on because I didn't think it would work with a sway bar. Oh, well.

Thanks Mike. It's a Hellwig sway bar. I'm not sure of the part number though. I'll check my pile of instructions in the shop to see if I can find it though. Yeah I really like how the sway bar turned out and there are no u-bolts. Almost makes it look like it's floating underneath. I didn't really need the back brace, but love the added look of it. I think it makes the rear look way meaner.

ProCryo is who we are using for Project Sabre's chassis, they have a fantastic reputation and are several hundred cheaper than most of the other companies we spoke with.

Pro Cryo did my Buick too! As already stated, they do great work and their prices are fantastic!

Speaking of that killer Buick - WTF is it now, and why are you working on your Solstice instead? :-)

[SparkyRnD]

any update on that steering shaft?

[BulldawgMusclecars]

Mike texted me that the rack is in, so once he installs it, and we get a couple cars out of here, the Camaro will be coming in. Hopefully that will only be a few days from now.

Joe - just let me know when you have space for it and I will bring it to you. I am eager for you to do your magic!

[gardnerme]

Lookie what the nice man in the brown uniform brought me!



It didn't fit as easily as the instructions led me to believe it would and I had to take the rack apart to install it, but it is in!



You can't tell in the pics but it also hits the bottom of the oil pan. Looks like I need a shallower oil pan, too.

[gardnerme]

OK - the steering rack's in and the motor's out! Time to take it for some paint and body work!

[gardnerme]

Hey - I just realized that I have 38 posts now. Only 12 more and I will finally be allowed to post in the "parts wanted" section (even though I have been a member here for 3.5 years). Yay, me.

[SparkyRnD]

ah, it's the little milestones that matter! Glad to see so much progress going on! And, we need to get those headers down to Performance Coatings!!!

[gardnerme]

I hand delivered the car this afternoon to Joe Hinds and his team at Bulldawg Musclecars for a wee bit of color (and a whole lot of bodywork)! I can't wait to see it progress from here.

[BulldawgMusclecars]

Thanks Mike! This one is going to be a pleasure! We don't often get such a nice, clean starting point. Your car got tons of attention while sitting in front of the shop this afternoon.
