My 89 Camaro Project

[robertisaar]

those look identical to the wheels that were on teh 85 IROC... but mine were 15s.

[Superdave]

all stock IROC wheels are 16's. The Z28's and base models got the 15's like these:



i would like to get a set of stock 15's for track tires one of these days..

[robertisaar]

those also look familiar...

did i have 15s and 16s?

either way, they suit a third gen GREAT.

Dave... I put together templates for 1.63 x 2.0 x 7 and 1.63 x 2.5 x 7.0 merge tubes. These are not exact but will get you pretty close. It seems to be easier to trim some off the ends before welding and finish grind the faces when done.

[Superdave]

Thanks, that's exactly what i needed!

The nibblers were following the curve of the pipe which really messed it up, i'll just cut these with the plasma cutter.

[CNCguy]

A 4 axis laser cutter would be perfect for making them. I would love to just have a cnc table for my plasma cutter. Not as nice as a laser but it would be nice to have for prototypes. Maybe I will get a chance to build one someday.

[Superdave]

i had enough 1 3/4" pipe to cut 2 out, they look MUCH better than what i was doing. More pipe is on the way

With any luck i'll have them cut out and welded on by Sunday night. Ordering my ball/socket flanges tonight.

[Superdave]

The pattern worked very well. i have both collectors welded together, just need some grinding to make them pretty. I'll post pics later on of how they came out.


BTW, Summit header pipe sucks to weld. It's cheaper for a reason.

[Superdave]

She's on 4 wheels again!

[robertisaar]

DAMN, that camaro is making me miss the IROC...

what size are the rear tires? they look a bit shorter than stock...

Holy crap is it just me or does the house in the background look TINY!

Am I missing something in that picture or is it really just that small?

[Superdave]

Yes, it's very small and not insulated at all. It's a rental and the guy who lives there is an ex-mortician.

[geldartb]

camaro looks good. wheels look a lot better than the ones that came with it.

haha i didnt even notice the house but damn where's the rest of it.

[Superdave]

Headers are back from coating...

[bszopi]

Oooo...
