During the restoration the Chevy was media blasted down to bare metal and built from the ground up. The floors are new, s are the rear quarters and the trunk pan. The Camaro is completely solid as a rock now and was reassembled with all new hardware, ll new trim, ew glass, ew chrome and new seals. The wiring harness is new from front to rear in in the car and the headlights are now HID and the tail lights and side markers are LED. The new paint job is a DuPont Cyber Gray Metallic as seen on the last generation Chevy Corvette. It is slick and has been properly sanded and buffed.
The car is a handling machine and rides on coil overs on all 4 corners. The front end is comprised of DSE upper and lower control arms with QA1 coil overs and a Hotchkis Sway Bar. The car uses a Global West 600 series steering gear box that is a quick ratio unit. The rear suspension has a Ridetech 4-link with Ridetech coil overs. Bringing this modernized muscle car to a stop is a set of C5 front calipers with 13" drilled/slotted rotors. The rear brakes are have 11" rotors with GM metric calipers/parking brake. The master cylinder is a nice Wilwood unit.
The Camaro uses a block from the SDPC Raceshop. Their LS short blocks are built using the latest Rottler CNC block machining center and Rottler CNC vertical hone for a race prepared blueprinted block and quality controlled cylinder bore finish that is normally found in professional racing engines. The crank, onnecting rods, ings and bearings are precision matched and balanced on the latest CWT balancer to insure a vibration free rotating assembly for fast throttle response and proven durability.
