New Gen 5 Tube Frame Road Race Camaro Build - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

boscoofd · 06-25-2012, 03:13 PM

Another 2012 tube frame Camaro is under construction at Bemco Fab in Deland Fl by Woody Wood. This one is a Howe/Bemco Road Race chassis made of 1 3/4" x .095 DOM to be fitted with the Howe Camaro Trans Am 2 bodywork. Power will be a small block chevy that is designed to use aftermarket LS3 heads. Reportedly makes 700 HP at the flywheel. Tranny will be a Nascar type road race Jerico with a Winters QuickChange rear end. Penske shocks with a 3 link with watts link rear suspension. Brembo Nascar cup brakes in front and Wilwoods in the rear. Will weigh about 2500# without driver. Should be ready in a few weeks and will compete in the NorthEast at NJMP, Pocono, Watkins Glen and others.

Here are few pics I took off the chassis

The car will be similar to the one built for Ralph Tommasso

This is a pic of a similar build with the Howe composite body being fitted to an earlier Bemco chassis. This one was converted from a GTA type Monte Carlo to Camaro.

The chassis got sandblasted and then painted gray, today it is getting the interior sheetmetal.

The car is for NASA SU, so there is no minimum. It should be right at 2500 without driver and fuel.

CamaroKid300 · 07-09-2012, 05:04 PM

Booo! It doesn't even have the RS package!

Nice build, looks sweet!

DUH, RS would add too much weight LOL!

Awesome looking ride. Sounds like it will be a blast to drive

SSBUSDRVR · 07-15-2012, 12:52 AM

Needs lowered.

Another Gen 5 racer from Woody at Bemco this one for Larry from NYC. This will be a Nasa SU racer seen mostly at NJMP, Pocono and the Glen. It debuted in a test last weekend, the torque from the big LS broke the quick change rear end. It will get converted to a nine inch type rear to handle the power.

pyr0b0y · 08-08-2012, 04:51 PM

wow looks amazing guys. That tube frame is just WOW!! is the Jerico a 4-speed dogbox?

Blue Maro Demon · 08-08-2012, 09:45 PM
