I finally figured out this Photobucket thing, so I thought I would post a couple of Pics of my Two F-bodies. I'm building the Camaro to play around in either CP or XP next year, while I'm learning the ropes with the WS6. Do you think they will let me run with the surfboard on top? Rounds out the whole Beach Cruiser theme! Enjoy!

Looks like a lot of sweet fabrication there, although it took me a couple minutes to see there was a car in the shot (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Vintage Chrome Valve Covers! and two of the three bodies are from 67, not 68. Camaro is a 67 RS model.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's a C4 IRS in the back of it. Unless I'm mistaken, that kicks you out of CP entirely, so XP would be your only prepared class.

Almost Every Day! I'm only 4 blocks off the water! when you bringing your Bird out to play at Little Creek or Pungo?

I guess I do need to kill a few cones with it. I'll have to pm you when I get back in the area. Most of the people should be leaving the beach soon woo-hoo!!
I will be going up to Summit Pont Oct 11-12th. If you have the time and a little cash to spend you should think about signing up. |

Is the front end made of C4 parts as well? Well, C4 A-arms anyway?

Uppers and Lowers are C5, as are the spindles and Brakes (Z06 calipers) Bottom arms retain the eccentric adjusters while the top arms can be shimmed if needed. From my measuments I can get up to -5deg to +1 Camber on it at that ride height. I can also move the ride height with the coilovers. I did the design to give me a 1 1/2" roll center. It's going to the alignment shop this weekend to make sure the car is square. I put the front fenders on over the weekend and I was very happy the wheels ended up in the center of the fender holes! I was able to get a set of 305/30/18's on the front with no rubbing issues. Only downside is the rack is out of a Mustang!
The rear is all C4 from a '96. I made adjustable Trailing arms and bought all adjustable camber and toe rods from Vette Products. I can even move the Angles of the trailing arms to change the IC, similar to an adjustable four link. It won't have the same effect as a solid axle drag car, but I can dial out some of the IRS anti squat issues I hope. Thanks for the comments guys, as long as it turns out square I'm starting on the brake lines and other plumbing this fall. |
