I've been working on my Camaro for the last several years and am now at the stage where I can go out and have some fun with it. Still have to do the body and paint. Probably this winters project.
Car consists of a mildly built 350, full Hotchkis suspension, Kore-3 C-5 Corvette brakes, 18" wheels & BF Goodrich KDW tires, and a bunch of other goodies.

Thanks guy's, It's been a lot of fun building this car.
Here's a picture of the interior the day I got it and what it looks like now.

Upgrades include an complete rewire of the entire car. It now hosts a modern fuse box complete with wiring for power windows, power seats, seat warmers, modern 3-way retrackable seat belts, and a Vintage Air A/C unit that fits snuggly under the dash. An Ididit 6 way adjustable steering column, Momo steering wheel, and NRG quick release hub. Plus enough Dynamat sound deadening material to complete that new car feel.

Thanks BigAls87Z28 and yes I made it myself.
I have had several 70 Camaro's before and the one thing I've always hated was how much the center consoles always creaked and groaned when you lean on them. Plus I was looking for a way to improve my welding skills. So I started out making the frame to be very solid once it was bolted in.
Then I brushed the top sheetmetal and cleared it, made the sides, padded and upolstered them, fit some cup holders and used a Lokar billet trim ring and shifter. This was actually my first attempt at welding or fabricating any kind of sheetmetal.

Thanks.

I've been working on modifing the inner fender and fender lip to accomadate my tire & wheel setup. When I hit a dip in the highway the tire contacts the lip of the fender well. Not really diggin that. I was going to change the wheels for a bigger back space but I really like the wheels and the way the car sits. So time to start cutting & welding.

Started with the fenders first. There is about an inch wide lip in the wheel well that needed to be bend back.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l312/okki63/1970%20Camaro%20RS/InnerFenderMod3_zpsb215b653.jpg

A few cuts and it folded up pretty easy. Just have to weld up the cut lines and good as new.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l312/okki63/1970%20Camaro%20RS/InnerFenderMod4_zps59362f0b.jpg

I left about a 1/4" on the fender so I have picked up 3/4" already. Then I went onto the inner fender and cut out the piece I want to raise up.
I actually cut out one more inch up into the inner fender after I took this photo. This will be the section that I square off to get 2 additional inches of vertical wheel travel.
Should end up with plenty of wheel room.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l312/okki63/1970%20Camaro%20RS/InnerFenderMod5_zpscc57db59.jpg

Well, I got the passenger inner fender done today. Now I just have to weld up the inner fender lip and that side is done. Then onto the drivers side. Should get done quicker now that I have an idea of what I want to do.

Both sides all done and everything back together. Weather was 70 degrees today so I went for a nice long highway blast today.
Looking for every dip in the road I could find and no rubbing. I didn't want the ride to end. Probably one of the last nice weekends left, maybe one more cruise tomorrow.

I have driven a couple of times at night now and 1970 headlight technology is just not up to what I am used to anymore.
So it's time to step up to some LED headlights. I have looked at several and one of the best seems to be these Trucklite LED headlights. They are a direct plug in to the stock connecters and they seem to fit into the original headlight buckets. A bit pricey, but I think me and my families safety is worth it.

Stielow is using those in the new car.

I'm using some simple hella lenses with iirc h3 bulbs, and relays. They are just as good as most cars out there for about $100 total. Relays are key, a lot of resistance in the circuit, you end up with like 10.5 volts at the bulb.

His build was the 2nd Camaro I saw these on. From what I have read you don't need a relay with the Trucklites.
Thanks for another option though. I will have to investigate more.

Well, winter is here and the winter projects begin. There are a few spots on the Camaro's body that I have wanted to redo. The rear tail panel has a few dents and I don't want to replace the whole thing. And as I promised myself when I bought the car I would do everything myself. If I didn't know how I would learn something new. Well here it goes. I bought a stud gun and will try and straighten the panel myself. Plus there a few subtle modifications I would like to try. So here is my new toy. An early Christmas present from my wife.

I haven't posted for awhile but here are some updates. The rear trunk panel and lid in 2nd gen Camaro's never line up very well. As you can see in the first picture.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l312/okki63/1970%20Camaro%20RS/RearBeginning_zps45a63e73.jpg

As this is probably the last 1970 Camaro I will have I decided to do something about it. After a bunch of cutting, fitting, and welding here is the finished result. Much cleaner line between the tail panel and the edge of the trunk lid.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l312/okki63/1970%20Camaro%20RS/Rear_zpsvivo6olf.jpg

That was last winters project.
This winter I just finished replacing the old th350 with a 700R4 and a new posi unit with 3.73 gears. Should be even more fun this summer.

Here's the latest picture of the car.

After I finished all the suspension and big brake work, I spent some time just enjoying the car out on the twisty back roads.
I found out pretty quickly that 2015 suspension and 1970 seats don't go together very well. It was time to sell off the 70 seats and upgrade to something that would keep my butt from sliding all over the place.
Good thing is the 70 seats are hard to come by and went for more then the new seats that I wanted. Here are the new seats in the car and I love them. They not only look great and match the style of the car, but my butt doesn't go anywhere. Plus, they comfortable on long cruises.

Thanks guy's.

Last year I spent quite a while trying to find a 18" spare tire for the Camaro.
A lot of people just kept telling me to join AAA and wait for the flat bed. Or get a space saver spare. Well, I didn't want to do either. I don't really want to sit on the side of the road and wait for someone else to save me.
So I searched and searched for a 18" spare that would fit over the brakes that I have and had some style. The newer GTO's had a 17" spare (I see a lot of drag racers use them) but I knew someone had to make one. So finally I found that Cadillac is the only one who makes an 18" spare tire kit. Plus I love the way it looks.

Took the Camaro out for a cruise the other day and something did not feel right.
By the time I got home the trans was slipping pretty bad. Time for a rebuild.
Ordered a kit from Monster transmissions and should be here by wed.
Will be my first trans rebuild. Bought a special tool to compress the springs to aid in taking out the snap rings.
Turned out to be easier to push down with the handle of a hammer and pop out the snap ring.
Now I have a bench full of parts for my giant trans puzzle.
Should be fun. New learning experience.

The rebuilt 700R4 has been in for 2 months now. Had one small problem, it was not locking up. Turned out to be a bad tcc solenoid, which came in the lockup kit I got from Painless. Gave them a call and they shipped me out a new one. Great customer service.
Now the trans runs great. The overdrive is great on the highway, especially with the 3.73 gears.

very nice. glad to hear the update.

what size/specs did you go with for the converter and trans kit? I am currently pulling mine out because it blew up badly, and having a new one built.. then perhaps this winter I may try to do a rebuild of my blown up one by myself. definitely seems intimidating with all the parts that go inside of them. keeping it a 700r4 setup like you did as well.

I have been thinking about building the next motor for the Camaro. Going back and forth between old school and new school.
Looking through Craigs List last week and my mind was made up for me. An LQ4 for $550 five minutes from my house, after a little negotiating we settled on $400. I think it was a good deal. Everything looks in very good shape. I have a pretty modest goal of 400 to 450hp. Should be attainable without to much trouble. I hope. Early Christmas present.

The wheels are 8"x 18 & 9.5 x 18.
I think the back space was 4.5 front & 5.5 back.
The seats are Procar Rally seats. I'm really happy with them.
To get the front wheels to fit with no rubbing I had to modify the inner wheels housings. It was needed because I have the car lowered from stock.
Hope this helps.

True, but I think the combination of 18" wheels, a much lower stance and the backspace proved to much for the inner fenders. I thought about changing the backspace but I really like the way the wheels sit in the fenders. To me, it looks perfect. Plus it really helped improve my novice welding skills.

Thanks Mike,
I went with the 823 heads for 2 reasons.
One, they flow better and two, I got a great deal on them.
Each head had a broken exhaust bolt in them and the owner of the machine shop ended up fixing them for free. Good guy.
I am replacing the dished LQ4 pistons with LQ9 flat top pistons to bump up the compression a bit. The 2005 LQ4 rods are already the floating design but I think I will upgrade the rods for better ones with arp bolts.

Starting looking around for a set of cylinder head stands. Most were at least $50, so out came the tools and for $10 here's my homemade stands. The OCD in me won't let them stay looking like that for long. A little smoothing out & polishing is in order. They work great.

Used some over cleaner and all the carbon came right off.

There is a very similar yellow one with an LS and push button start.

Looking for a fast weekend fab job and came up with this, crankshaft stand.
Only one I found online was a Goodson one and it was $124.
Sorry, but for about $20 I can build my own.
Here it is.

Awesome, as usual! Will you be assembling the motor this winter?

Thanks Mike,
Still collecting parts for the motor. Got the rods in the other day and researching cams right now. Still have alot of stuff to get.
My goal is to have it ready for the Optimum event next year.
We'll see how that works out.

Ok guy's, this is my first LS build and my first engine build in many years.
Trying to choose a cam , I contacted Comp Cams and this is what they suggested for me.
I told them it would be mainly a street car with the occasional auto or road course. I also said I was looking for around 450 hp. Maybe it's just me but does seem like a very aggressive cam for my purposes? Please let me know what you think.

lQ9 10.0:1 comp
L92 heads
Single plane manifold & carb
Stock rockers
Stock bottom end except for upgraded rods.
Long tube headers

I'm the farthest thing from an engine builder, but for a 6.0L I don't think that's all that aggressive.

My motor, thought it is a 5.7, has less aggressive of a cam than that and i just plan on going straight.

Duration seems mildly aggressive, but the lift is pretty high, but I don't know too much

I'd talk to Texas speed and Brian tooley racing before making a purchase.

Thanks guy's, but after a bunch of recomendations from alot of people on several forums I have decided not to go with this cam.
Haven't quite decided yet on which cam but think I will move onto the cylinder heads.
Time to take them to the shop and get them done.

Though you're not using this cam I'd say it's a good compromise. If I were you, I'd bump the compression a bit. The L92 heads flow well and do well with 10.8-11 CR on 93 octane.

Spent the day cleaning and straightening the garage getting it ready for the winter projects. Have to build a new motor for the Camaro and rebuild the Mustang's 5.0.
Should be a busy winter.
