Restauración Camaro 68´ Se compró a 100.- Dólares

Esta en Ingles, pero miren el laburo que se mandaron...




after she opened the garage I thought,,, I could work with this





nothing inside the car but a few parts! hey a FREE Turbo charger!



and a few more parts in the trunk



Time to get it on the trailer



a little rain, whats an adventure without rain




with the frame out, I started clean up, my girlfriends son (Kyle)was a great help turning some wrench and lifting the body parts






First I weld all the seams on the frame for reinforcement and then I sent it to [URL="http://www.peenrite.com/tech.html"]Peen Rite[/URL] for a shot peen to help reduce Resistance Fatigue (torsional resistance) and here's the frame after peening and some charcoal grey paint



while the frame was away relaxing(pun intended) in sunny southern california,
We built a Wooden body trolly to roll the car around the garage and roll it outside



and Here my girl friends son Kyle is sand blasting the body outside and working on those lower quarters rusty areas(he's a quick learner)



as the day worn on and it became dark Kyle moved on to firewall clean up inside the garage, Radio going in the back ground and a portable heater





that was easy!!! but this tail panel!! Wow!!


drill out all the spot welds

and more welds










gotta fit and fix it all now



Tail panel almost fitted!!



shot some rust proofing paint under the dash on the headliner area and on the roof









here's the color under the dash



and the subframe looks awesome now going back into the car




super nice fuse block and it fit like factory!!



for sound deadner I used [URL="http://www.thermotec.com/"]Thermo Techs, cool it series[/URL] stuff nice





here's the motor (actual this is version 1.0) I changed the layout later



and here's the Trans it a Borg Warner Super T-10 out of a 70's vette with a wide ratio, I bought it used and then had to rebuild it



here I am learning as I go! that was the key to this build every thing had to be done, or at least attempted by me! I didn't want to farm out a lot of work







and now the engine goes in










I cleaned up the rear end with new gaskets bearing, Axel seals and brake lines, for now (mock up) I will leave the rear drums till I get a rear disc kit together








and while i was getting the rear together I found some sweet rims from a vette...these will look sweet



and my front suspension is coming together nicely also Using The hotchkis front coils springs with KYB GR-2 shocks



and the hotchkis Tie rod ends and sleeves to keep every thing stiff



and added for the fun of it the rear hotchkis rear shock tower brace



super simple new shock bolts



now lay in trunk and bolt it in








rotate the diff to find the retainer bolt


using a small (full circumference) brake bleeder wrench loosen


remove the bolt and set in a safe place


slowly remove the diff pin




now fish out the C-clip Axel retainers


and remove the axel


perfect time to replace rear bearings and rear seals


now remove the 4 bolts holding the rear drums in place


add rear brake brackets and rotor


add the caliper


reroute brake line and add retainer


add E-brake lines




pulled of the heads to install new ones!



clean up the fire wall



new heads from Patriot Racing



Comp cam rockers



Comp cams push rods



putting it together



In this picture I'm testing a new Distributor-less ignition I ran it a few auto cross events but it need some dialing of the computer






I shot the new one with radiator black from eastwood



the old radiator weighs nearly 30 pounds the new one is just 13 pounds!






umm color!! color!! color!!
