Thrift Shop Camaro by Payton King

6 minute(s) of a 124 minute read

I had to go back in my thread to see where I left off. Have pics downloaded so here we go.

When I last left off we (Pettigrew and myself) decided the cage was not safe with poor weld penetration in many areas. Cage and floors cut out, new firewall, floors and tunnel. Now time for the new cage...and yes the roof needed to come off to get good welds all the way around.

We pushed the cage further out so he had to make some mods to the frame

Here is a before picture of my A pilar bar



This is what it looks like when a professional does it.









Here it is tied into the A pilar

Thanks guys!

Some parts have been used and some have been new. My braking system is all new stuff and so is all of the suspenion. As an expample, the rods that I have for the motor are $3600 new. I got them from Roush with 3 test dyno pulls when they were working on bore and stroke combinations...$600.
Do you consider that used or tested? I call it a bargin.

Ron Sutton is working with me for front and rear suspension design and car set-up.

Which goes right into my next few pictures of the decoupled 3 link mock up. Sutton took my information and made a blueprint for the install. After installing the housing mount I had see what it looked like.

Ihave been holding out on the pictures for some time, so here are more of the front down bars and dash bar.

The next shots are bars that triangulate at the dash bar.
