Awesome, mind my asking where did you get the mirrors? Nice choice, are they remote, and if so electric or manual. Steering, did you go with rack and pinion or gear box? Nice job with the hydraulic clutch and hydraulic assist brakes! Whose subframe did you use and how did it fit to the body and radiator core support? Thanks

Whose subframe did you use, and how did it fit to the floor pan and rad support. Again, my complements, that is awesome workmanship and vision.

Old thread, forgot about it. lol

The mirrors are 2nd Gen F-body. However, if your car is already painted, you probably won't be able to use them. The footprint of the 2nd Gen mirror base is smaller than the stock 69 mirror base, and any wear in the paint from the stock mirror base gasket will show.

The subframe is from DSE. I cut my own intermdiate shaft from a piece of Borgeson double D stainless steel shaft. The subframe fits perfect with the stock/original core support.

So dirty. In a good way.

Your garage is super enviable too.

Your car is simply BAD ASS!!!!! From what I see it looks like it was worth all the cuts and bruses it took to get it done. GREAT JOB!!!!!

Wow your car is really nice! - I love the Garage too!

Wow. Period. Enough said about my opinion of your Camaro. Now on to your garage, Wow. Period. Enough said about my opinion of your Garage. Both your Camaro and your garage are works of art (one of which goes REALLY fast). Being on my work computer out here in Afghanistan I can't open your website (but I will be able to later on my personal laptop), I can't wait to see your site. I don't know what more to say than Wow.

I am probably going to be able to answer this question when I visit your site, but what was the biggest issue transplanting the LS7? I am considering this route for my '67 Project.

Thanks.

Cheers,
George

Nice work XcYZ! I am in the process of doing the same engine swap and frame off restomod to my 69 RS/SS. Here's where I stand right now with the project...see pic. Body and frame are headed to media blast next week.

Aldrich Z06 · 09-21-2011, 03:15 AM

One of the nicest 69s I've seen. I've got mine at the AMD installation center right now cut apart getting blasted and sealed and getting all new panels. Not much left of the stock panels. The car needed more than I thought.

@Rayban -

I think you should start a build thread for this beast and keep us informed!

I can't argue that point, but fortunately I did absolutely everything myself other than the red. I even made a paint booth and sprayed the bottom of my car in my 2 car garage.

Thanks.

I made the cover of Camaro Performers a while ago.

And as long as I'm posting... Back in May I dropped the subframe out of the car and replaced it with a significantly better setup.

I used snowmobile dollies to roll the old subframe out and roll the new subframe back under the car.

I remember just being impressed with your garage makeover on Lat-G, never mind how nice the car is, and yes I totally enjoyed that issue of CP
