Where did you get that carbon fiber roll bar padding? :p Seriously, car looks fantastic! :)

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Jerry Bickel race cars here in town sells it! It's cool stuff !


Got some more done today got it rolling, my new lugnuts came in ,rear end all buttoned up, all front brake lines are on, steering wheel on , and all interior back in and done now , motor mounts in, and last but not least my new rear wheels lol just kidding, but I was thinking about seeing how these hook lol!!

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

I like the look of the carbon fiber roll bar protector bit I'm not sure if it meets the rule book specifications for padding. It reads: Adequate padding must have minimum1/4-inch compression or meet SFI Spec 45.1. I don't see how carbon fiber can be used as a padding as it doesn't compress. The Bickle site doesn't say this protector meets the SFI spec. I can see using it on the side bar to protect from scratches, but not in the head area as it offers no protection. Do you plan to use a different padding for the head area? Am I missing something here?

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Danny, You only need padding on the roll bar if your helmet is 6 inches from contacting the roll bar only.We have 45.1 in that area of contact. Type of padding depends on ET. The carbon fiber used is not 6 inches from helmet. Hope this helps. It is in the rule book too.

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Thanks Tim. After looking closer I see your 45.1 in the head area. Good luck this season and I'm enjoying following your build. Regards, Danny

Nice Build. Question, are you using stock rubber bushings in your front upper control arms?
I have solid bushings in my Impala, used solids in bottom too. Am I too "old school"

Hey Danny that's actually my dad Vince. The carbon fiber is just for looks and to help with scratches usually guys just do a little piece , but I went ahead and did the whole bar and thought it looked good .

Thanks Tim
