Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

I can build a complete car minus the body work and feel great about it. To get it in paint myself I'm lucky to not burn the whole thing down before finishing.

Thanks! Soon I hope to paint the k-member, install the master cylinder, brake lines, steering box, and steering column. Then I think the motor can go back in.

Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

Why is your camber set so much different between left and right?

Where is it very different? It looks really close to me...

Why would it matter anyway since it still needs so much work?

In the last pic he posted, (in the same post that has a video in it) there seems to be more camber on PS.

It doesn't look like it needed much work at the time that pic was taken. Just an observation...

You're right... when you look at the location of the bolts in relation to the slots it does look like the passenger side has more negative camber.

I think that is a pic of his setup before the car was painted.

I don't know why. I drove the car for years like that and never noticed it while driving. Hmmm. I'll leave it like that for now. When I get the 4-link set up and the car back on the road again I'll get it to an alignment shop. Might be a good idea anyway, with all the cutting that the chassis shop did.

Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

It just seems like it would pull with the camber set that much different, unless something was damaged.

Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

Well, I made some progress this past week. I blasted and painted brackets, braces, hood latch, and hood hinges. The brake lines, line lock and master cylinder are next. I got the steering box, drag link and tie rods, and sway bar bolted on.

Re: Prostreet Camaro Project

With a good race type rear anti-roll your roll center will already be too stiff to have any benefit from the front bar. - On most smaller tired cars that see street duty I work at keeping the front bar; once you have tubs, big rears, and skinnies there's no reason.

A 4-link will not co-operate well w/o an anti-roll or some sort of rear sway bar.
