Here's my 67 Camaro

[454 NUTTR]

Purchased the Camaro in Feb 2008 as a rolling shell with brand new front clip, interior, new chrome and stainless steel moulding. Its a reasonably straight shell and very dry. Factory colour was white with deluxe blue interior. 327 2speed powerglide car.

My intentions for the car is to go 454 Big Block with edelbrock heads and airgap manifold, turbo 400, 9inch diff,wheel tubs, old school pro street look with centreline autodrag satins with 15 x 10's and 26 x 12.5 x 15 rear and 15 x 4's and 165 tyres, slightly peaked in the front to give the squatted fat look in the rear and get it as low as possible. Keeping the interior standard just adding autometer guages and B&M Quicksilver Shifter, Auto will be shift kitted with a nice stall but not over the top. will run 3.55 gears.

Not looking to build a killer Engine, just something good, sharp, and respectable.

[EAT-30T]

Cool...

And cool tow car ;)

[454 NUTTR]

These are pictures of how the car is going to sit, to make it sit like this i have to cut out the bumpstop that hits the top of the diff and move it up 4 inches to give clearance and probobly the tunnel as well. After this the exhaust and tailshaft to be made, stripped back to bare shell and then to soda blasting and then to get it in to the panel shop. Hoping to jump the queue!

Its not big budget, tell me what you think!!

[Aussiecamaroowner]

Nice. I'm at a similar stage with similar intentions, looks like it might be a race!

I reckon we may need to rename this board the Big Block Camaro Forum!

[cluxford]

I love that look, that is 1 clean 67, great pick up.

Mine is the same in terms of rear and height....

Keep us posted

[69coupe]

Nice clean car. You are lucky to find one rust free. Great project, keep us posted of the progress

[TUFF68]

very nice, another build on the go . Love the old school pro street look on these cars.

Has the rear been tubbed to fit that rubber under there without any clearance issues. Have you decided on a colour yet ?

[454 NUTTR]

thanks guy's tub's are in have over inch 1/2 each side of the tyres so no clearance issues the last 5 pic are with the diff and spring's in
school's out on the colour at the min was thinking silver but now there poping up all over the place

[Nev68]

Love the look of the old Autodrag Centerlines, espaeciall on a 1st Gen Camaro
It's gonna look tough.

Rgds,
Nev

[454 NUTTR]

thanks ! the hard thing is getting time to work on it wish i had your speed nev68

[J.J.]

looks great, those Centreline's really suit the 67 body, stance is perfect! what size rear tyre you running?

[454 NUTTR]

thanks that's what lm looking 4 the fat stance boot's on the back 26/12.5/15 m/t

[Nev68]

thanks ! the hard thing is getting time to work on it wish i had your speed nev68

I have a little more time these days to play with my toys but I don't like laying on cold concrete in the winter, so I look at a few Car photos or magazines look at the calender (need to get this going by summer) and off to the shed I go.
Time and money, it's rare that we have both at the same time!

Rgds,
Nev

[454 NUTTR]

pissed now. was at panel shop on friday and cant get car in til January. Running out of things to do. Its at exhaust shop at the moment, running the hooker extractors and goin 3" with straight through mufflers, dumped and flanged so i can run tail pipes for roadworthy. AFter roadworthy taking tail pipes off and throwing them up the back of the shed! Might look at modifying the rotisserie to suit camaro!

[RSZ28]

Very nice!

[454 NUTTR]

Looks like you've got a good solid car to start with there.
Keep us posted.
What colour will it be?

Rgds,
Nev

[454 NUTTR]

very happy, u can olny see so much with paint on a car. When i started looking 4 one, i said i wasn't not going to buy the 1st one i saw, and how funny this was the 1st one i looked at ! after about 2 hours on and off the hoist i was driving the guy insane! Seems it actually paid off! Eventually it will be silver. But i will check out some other colours up at summernats.

[WILD68]

Looking good, are they the springs you are using or just in there 4 now?

[454 NUTTR]

yep there the ones l'm using

[AUSCAMARO]

I can't get over how clean this body is. I keep looking back to see if there is anything wrong with it and for a 40+ year old body it is exceptional. You certainly made the right choice with this one.

What are you going to do as far as a heater box and fan are concerned?

Mitch

[454 NUTTR]

thanks man i got on these 12v demisters off a guy there not them desert cooler ones more like for boat or sum thing u can not hear them runand put out sum heat as long as it past rwc l'm happy

[AUSCAMARO]

Whay about wipers as well. How are you sorting them out?

[454 NUTTR]

i was waiting 4 sum one to pick it up. i got on to castle auto electrics here in vic they have a universal cable wiper kit, 3 speed with intermittant, like they use in rods about $400 easy to work out, but in a camaro about 2 days work a fair bit of modifying to make it work but i had to get that wiper motor out of there. Looks alot cleaner now.

[AUSCAMARO]

i had to get that wiper motor out of there. Looks alot cleaner now.


Yep, agreed!!

I wonder what Cluxford is using in his? Might be able to bounce some ideas off each other?

Mitch

[TUFF68]

Looking good NUTTR, really like that flat firewall. Also spotted 4 Tri-5's in the background, all '57s by the look of them, 2 x 2 door's, a 4 door and a convertable

[cluxford]

Wow that firewall looks awesome.

Wiper motor. VR Commodore one, reversed and put under the cowl. That's what we did on mine. Took less than 1 day and works a treat.

I don't have any picks though and I am interstate now for next 16 days on business. When I get back I can snap some for ya and get the ins and outs of how it was done.

Great work and looks pretty good (ie not a huge amount of rust).

Keep the pics coming.

Rgds
Chris

[454 NUTTR]

its comming along tuff 68 the 57's in the background the 2doors and the convertalbe are customers of his and the 4 door is matts will be one tuff ride when dun and how did u miss that mini i told him to hide it to give him sum credibility

[454 NUTTR]

[AUSCAMARO]

Yeap... Just a little bigger than mine ;)

Same wall height and length (I'm told it's only the length and how you use it that matters!:eek: )

I also work a 7 and 7 roster and being on night shift this swing has made it more difficult...

Hey Chris,
I'm keen to see the pics of the wiper set up also as I dont want to run the original either.
Cheers,
Clayton.

[cluxford]

Clayton, I'll get pics.

Jim sorry forgot to update you, they chucked it...gone !!!

Clayton, here is what they told me they did, VR wiper motor, under dash, had to fab new arms from the motor to the wiper.

I haven't seen it installed but will get pics and shoot them over.

[BMF1968]

I didn't run an original set up. Got this from a company called Specilty Power Windows out of Georgia in the states. Pretty sure they have a local agent. We mounted the motor on a plate under the dash so can still get at it. They do all sorts of stuff like this including full billet wiper arms ect.
Set my wiper arms up so there mounted on the far outside of the cowl and the arms pull swipe in from the center out just for something diffrent.

[WILD68]

abit of a up date on its way soon

hurry up scott.. i wanna see..
