Camaro Tech in Super Chevy

As some of you know, I built a ’67 Camaro for my wife, and we’ve been working the bugs out of it for the past year. The car ran fine, but it drove terrible…the worst thing I’ve ever driven, and downright dangerous for Christina, so it was time to get the front suspension and steering in good shape. Classic Performance Parts came to the rescue and had the exact kit I needed, so check out the article about the installation….its on the newsstand now in the March 2012 issue of Super Chevy Magazine, but I have kindly scanned it and posted it here for your viewing pleasure.

I’m Actually Working on a Car!

It’s a good feeling, even with all of the frustration that goes along with it! We’re in the process of rebuilding the front suspension in my wife’s ’67 Camaro, so it’s nasty work that always seems to present problems along the way. It’s actually not that bad, since we have a total of 5 hours invested, and have already torn down the front end, stripped the control arms to bare metal, installed new bushings and ball joints, and hung the sway bar in place. It’s now ready for springs and spindles, and then we can replace the steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and tie rod ends. I’m really hoping the front end overhaul makes this car drive better because it was downright unsafe before the teardown.
