Finally...
Well, again thanks to the Forum. I got: measurements for paint divider trim; the lower front spoiler; pix of bumpers; help on the LS3; and lots and lots of ideas from everybody else's posts.
Couldn't have gotten it this far without all the help. I do appreciate it!!! |

Re: Finally...
I’m not as much of a 2 wheel drive guy, but damn that’s a nice truck!

Re: Finally...
I've been a Chevy guy all my life, heavy into Camaros. Only recently (through this forum) did I realize there was a 50th Anniversary truck. ...but Gosh Damn ...these Gold/White trucks look absolutely awsome

As for the Camaros, I'm one of the judges at the Nationals (1st Gens), so I guess you could stay I'm still involved a bit ; ). If you run into any questions/issue don't hesitate to reach out. If I don't know, I'll at least try to point you in the right direction. In the mean time, here are some great Camaro sites: 'Team Camaro' (www.camaros.net): A great overall site, from ProTouring to stock, great technical source 'Camaro Research Group' CRG (www.camaros.org): For the purists, when you're trying to find exactly how it came from the factory, etc. ' Nasty Z28' (www.nastyz28.com): Focusing on 2nd Gens, another overall good reference. OK, ...back to trucks

Re: Finally...
Very nice looking truck. Good luck on the camaro. I just recently sold my '73. Loved that car but as I aged just go too hard to get in and out of what with those large and heavy doors! Again very nice truck.

Re: Finally...
WOW! Absolutely beautiful! As I've told you in another post, the next one I build will have the same paint job. I think I'll save a pic of yours for inspiration...
I wish I would have known you were going to build a first gen Camaro, I just unloaded a whole bunch of left over Camaro parts, and my parts car. |

Perfect! What is the drop and what size wheels and tires are you running? Any interior pics?

One, was for a late 1980's or early 1990's Chevrolet truck. That's what I used. You can get them about anyplace. I got mine delivered from LMC for about $50. You can find them cheaper, but I knew I could return this one if it didn't fit. Works out pretty good. Looks better when viewed standing, like in the pix, but not terrible from underneath. Mounts and lines up nearly perfect below the fender opening, and does stick out a little up under the front bumper where you can't see it. My bumper is tucked pretty tight to the truck, but I think it gives it a little bit of an aggressive look. I like it anyway. Thanks for the interest and the nice comments everybody!! |

Wheels are both 20 inch. Rears are 20x10 and fronts are 20x8. Tires are stock for a 2010 thru 2015 Camaro SS (Kevin should like that...). Rears are 275/40/20 and fronts are 245/45/20. I think that's right. Anyway, stock size for the Camaro SS for those years, so they should always be available as a matched set from multiple suppliers. I see guys running wider tires, but have no idea how they get them in the fender wells. I've got about 3/8 of an inch in the back, and less than 1/2 inch from the curved part of the bedside inner. Of course, I'm running it pretty low. Static drop by the way, Ride Tech coil overs at every corner. Needs to look the same going down the road as sitting still is my opinion. Thanks for asking! |

Oh, and interior pix... Well, once I get the carpet glued in. I'm using a cut pile that's very plush. And, I do have a computer issue. I have to replace the E38 that runs the engine. Throws a "computer internal failure" code, and has been diagnosed as computer fatal error... First show I want to go to is in 3 weeks, so I'm going to finish up the interior and get a new computer next week. I'll show you the seats though... Will post up what I have. Forgive the dynamat, you have to imagine the black carpet... |

Re: Finally...
And, a couple of last ones. So, I told you it was on a custom frame. And, want you to see the engine compartment. I know, I know, should be over on the "LS" part of the forum, but I like it over here too!

Just completed my list for "things to finish"... Only a couple of dozen items. Can't wait to start checking them off this weekend. Really anxious to get out and drive in the nicer weather. Thanks to everybody for the kind words. If any of you are ever in/close to Nashville, lunch is on me! |
