couple pics of work in progress.. pic is of the exhaust me and a buddy did over christmas.. spent 3 hours tig'ing everything together and repainting.. for the first time putting in an exhaust i'm happy... bendpak lift was the gift from the wife.. she must love me.. pics are tacks, final welds, and lift..

nice job and shop.. how do you like having a drive on rack ?

Car looks great, what size is your shop? The "boss" told me once the kitchen and bath are done I can build a garage

Looks like fun, s that a 5-speed we see tucked up there?
Don't look like any Muncie case to me...LOL

 

[TejasBimmer]

NICE!
Love the ride too!

 

[BirdRacer]

How do you back that car off the lift with no door behind it?

I'm assuming the door is towards the front? LOL, just looks funny from that angle, like you built the shop around the lift with no way to get anything out.

Nice....!

Good work!

u cleaned and smoothed out those welds nicely! good job man, thats a sweet DIY exhaust system...are those flow's? if so which model?

Super 40's I'm willing to bet!!

 

[deere2210]

Thanks! You guys are dead on... I took the Muncie out and replaced with a Richmond 5 speed, and the mufflers are Super 40's... Can't wait to hear it run..

The shop is 36x45.. the garage door is 20' wide and at the front of the lift which isn't shown in the pic.. I'll try and take some pics of the exhaust hangers and post.. I took the stock hangers and through them in the blast cabinet and then powder coated them matte black so they are almost invisible up against the frame now.. those local evening adult ed welding classes came in handy on this project..

68 with a big block? Hard to tell without seeing the tail lights. Do the head light doors still work?

I had a 67 RS conv many years ago....327...burned up 3 power glides...slapped in a TH350....BIG difference......with the 4.56 rear end I could do the quarter in 13.21.....what I wouldn't give to have that car back......

Very nice ride.....glad to see another restored ride on the street....even if it does have a 'couple' of modifications.....

Mine was the opposite!!! The kitchen gets done this spring - I'll be in the shop, call me when it's done honey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I should probably clarify.. It's a resto-mod.. there have been a few mod's over the years and the updates I have done.. It's a 67RS.. It has a new ZZ4 crate engine (350), and the Richmond.. Headlight doors work perfect.. I took every single piece apart and blasted and powdered and updated the electric motors on them.. Was a definite learning experience going back through limit switches and relay's to make those work..

Sweet RS. I dont see the vent windows on your doors? I have a 67 also (plain jane) with a big block. If you havent already, check out Team Camaro @ http://www.camaros.net/forums/ Like this forum, lots of good info and great people.
