'67 Camaro E/SA redo

HandOverFist · 11-30-2013, 11:39 AM

I ordered the wheels from Champion... http://www.cwibeadlock.com/NBL%20Speed%20Series.htm

Rears are 15x10 w/5.0 backspace. Someone in the past had welded the spring perches in the wrong positions shifting everything toward the driver's side...I will have to run a 1/4" wheel spacer behind the passenger side wheel to clear the lower shock mount. We will run it this way this season and probably replace the housing next fall.

Both my partner and I were so impressed with the wheels he plans on putting a set on his '66 Nova. What I really like is how Champion offers it's wheels in 1/4" increments for backspacing.

Nice looking car, job well done!

How quick was the car when you bought it?

Thanks guys - If we can make it run decently this spring I will treat it to a new paint job/interior come fall. The car was only able to muster a 7.39 with F weight when we got it...we will see what it can do with the new parts come spring.

Looks Really Good! Love seeing another WHITE race car!

Standby for a complete interior change. The next pictures posted will show a Black/Gold interior with re-located gauges. We are also going to go ahead and swap the current 12-bolt housing for a Mosier housing to get everything centered as it should be.

It did, but the perches on it were welded in the wrong place...had the housing skewed nearly an inch toward the drivers side. If I had it to do all over we would have just cut them off and welded some Caltrac perches on it in the correct spot. My partner was hell bent on a new housing tho...
