Check! Its bolted down, the core support is too. Im not going for show car gaps anyway... I'm thinking mocking the patina thats there. One day, I may change my mind though... Lol

Another couple pics!

A good comparison from the day I drug it home, last day of March....

Those look like typical 50s door gaps.
Takes a ton of work to get them all even.

I know, I want them fairly uniform. This isnt any type of show truck, maybe later down the road though...

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Just took the time to look through your build again and just had to comment this time.

Serious fabrication skills all around.

Nice work!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Thanks!

Nothing to ground breaking, just a whole lot of planning and work... All this fits under the stock bed floor, one of my wants going into it, I wanted to keep it at stock level.

DaveO, Thanks for the advise on the Lokar shifter. I purchased one off Evil Bay and it bolted right up, very Simple. Now I'm trying to hook up my steering shaft and need to know what u joint you used. I noticed it in your pic of the trans linkage (BLACK U JOINT). I have a GM column and firebird frontend like you.
I've got a lot of great ideas from you! thanks' IN ADVANCE.

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Mine is a mid 70 camaro column and 70s camaro box and shaft. Do your homework, count splines and measure shaft. This one worked for me...

Thanks for the education. Your the man!
Your truck is coming along great. I like checking in and seeing your progress. Your just a couple steps ahead of me. :metal:

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Slid the frame out from under the cab today. After taking all the suspension off...Worked out pretty slick!:metal:

Getting serious now, I need to get the frame all welded up before Wed, then off to be blasted along with the cab....

Anyone recommend some camaro tubular A-arms? I dont want China junk...

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

I used these guys stuff on my Chevelle clip.
Very nice quality parts.
Easy to deal with and very knowledgeable.
They have different sets depending on what year Camaro you have.

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Damn, those things are pricey!


Blasted the frame, rear end and all suspension components... Frame is in the booth!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

That looks great. I have just wiped my frame down once more and hope to be priming in the next couple of days. Hoping for it to warm up a bit first.

I am spraying Eastwood epoxy primer then their ceramic chassis coating.

Just about all the small parts are disassembled and ready also.

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

I am anxious to see this finished, good looking project

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

And so it begins.... Again!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Looks real nice.
Kim

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Looks great so far!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Back at home on stands....Collecting bolts, painting brackets and bolts. LOL

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Atta boy Dave0!!! Looks really awesome! How did you get another inch or two lower? I like the way she sits. I hope mine looks that good.

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Looking real good.

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

I chopped a half a coil off!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

The only reason you need not to buy china fittings, These are both -6 an, which one would you rather have feeding your fuel lines....

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Tank in, rear end mounted, front suspension together, spent the last 2 hours power washing the engine.... As soon as I get the oil pan modified, its going in!

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Looking good.
Kim

Re: Putting Camaro front in 55 second gen
 

Looking really good - you are knocking this thing out!~ its goes pretty quick once you have all the parts and everything painted. I used the QA-1 front parts on my Camaro clip. Mines about where you are now too.

Keep it up!
