another build thread

so i saw how others have build threads so i thought i would do the same.

this will be very slow going but at least ill have something to show my progress.

i current plan is to take my 91 camaro that i totalled and combine it with an 88 that i recently got.

the 88 is a very good 99% rust free body but has a catch... it has almost NO electrical or anything not needed for a drag car. so what to do? i thought to myself why not take everything i need off my white car? well that sounded simple enough.

my goal is to make a G-Machine inspired camaro. ls1,6speed,lowered,good handling, but ultimately a street car.
Here is the only rendering I have right now

Re: another build thread

It looks pretty complete if you ask me. It looks like it has all the essentials for a carb car and should be a great place to start. Your wiring harness and whatnot should swap over with little to no issues. Do you have pics of your totaled car?

Re: another build thread

Best of luck man. It's a big project, but once your done you'll have a great sense of accomplishment! And hopefully you connect to the new car as much as with the old one. Take it from someone who has done it...it's worth it!

Re: another build thread

so since my car is outside, i put some silicone on the hatch where the metal meets the window as a temporary seal(going to paint) and to fill the holes in the car where a spoiler used to be. thought it would be easy to take off........ im not so sure now.

also i put in my 4th gen pedals the other day

You MAY be ok with a 4 gauge but do some research. I know most battery relocation kits including the one I bought come with 1 gauge cable....probably for a reason, but like I said, I'd do a little research on it to be sure.

I heard the 4th gen pedals were NOT an exact fit, and even when you modified them to actually fit, they didn't feel right with the clutch throw. I used my stock 3rd gen brake and clutch pedal assembly and all I had to do was slightly modify how the LS1 master cylinder rod clips to it. It was very easy and it feels like stock. Thats what I would recommend.

As far as the bumper bolts, I know what your talking about. Us firebird guys have it easy though because we just remove the headlight assembly and they are right there lol. Good luck with them though!

I just heard that the clutch pedal engages kind of low due to the pedal being longer on the 4th gen, or something along those lines. I MAY have a set of 3rd gen manual pedals lying around the house. I can check for ya if your interested...really can't remember if I ended up selling them or not but I thought I might still have them.

And sorry about the bumper lol. Gonna need a camaro guy for help on that one!

Re: another build thread

Looking good man. I love the look of some nice shiny new parts under a 3rd gen! And yea, working outside sucks. I'm spoiled with my garage, but when I have to change the oil on my beater or fix it in this new england cold, I hate it!

Re: another build thread

i just hate that the car looks.... country to say it lightly. i really cant wait to build a car that brings pride to our third gens and give us a good name. not a joe dirt ride.

i have a guy(cagedruss) that i cant communicate with that we threw ideas for a spoiler around.

even though it will be awhile before the car is painted or complete, i think it will completely change the look of the car.


funny thing happened to me the other day while i was sitting in the car. i was playing around with the radio, when a mouse crawled out from the e-brake slot. it scared me at first and then i got really mad that a mouse was possibly eating all the wires that i put in. so i tried to chase it down(dismantleing the interior in the process) and never found it. that is another good reason why i HATE having that car outside.

Re: another build thread

car is looking good. i also found a mouse in the car im working on, lots of sticky glue pads and a bunch of dryer sheets will do the trick. yes dryer sheets put them in some of the little places mice like to go for some reason they dont like the smell and will leave, there is a lot of farmers here that do that when they store equipment for the year

Re: another build thread

Was able to check it out the other day and I caught the mouse! I have a tow hook that I modeled off of nufnuf that I would Luke to install. The only things I have been able to do lately is very small things. I am keeping the big money so I can move into a house with a garage. I need to keep my motivation up!
