Did you end up getting this one out of Sacramento? I like 67-73 camaro's, I sold my 71 chevelle a few years ago. If I get another muscle car it'd be a 71-73 camaro.

Are the Hotchkis suspension kits good at all?

Yes, it came from Sacramento.

Hotchkis is OK - more expensive than what I sell for the same product

Well keep us posted, are you tracking this build on another forum?

Curious, do you know how the handling on this will compare to a 914 once completed with your upgrades?

Yes, I have a Build Thread on 2 Camaro Forums (NastyZ & Team Camaro) I will update this Thread with major goings on.

Comparing this to a 914 is Apples to Oranges. But should be interesting. The Camaro will have about 550hp vs my 125 hp 914 2.0. The Torque Arm, TruTrac Rearend, Full Coilovers should make it handle nice but a nicely set-up 914 is the perfect handling car.

Just my opinion,

Those wheels look cheap and wrong.



Here are my Vintage Wheel Works Mini-Lite look wheels that came in today , Very Lightweight - 17x9 and 17x8

Nice wheels!

If my chevelle handled like your camaro will I probably would have kept it. I hope to build one of these someday.

I'm just about ready to fire up my 70 LS conversion Camaro. Car was a original big block 4speed car.
Been meaning to talk to you about a Torque arm suspension. I see you posting on Lateral-g and pro touring.com

Free R&D, and some great marketing.
Is the owner paying you to do it too?
