Any Hot Rodders?

madison069 · 09-21-2008, 10:23 PM

I am building a 79 camaro from the ground up. It's still in the building stage but slowly it will be finished when I am done with college and making some money!

Here are some pics of it,

Temp dash til I am done testing it at the track. After it pass the track test I will be working on the interior and body.

It's dirty but i rebuilt the suspension and painted it black. The rearend has 4.10 posi gears in it.

350 with aftermarket internal, along with afew upgrades.

Hoping for 12 sec with stock converter, 11 sec with aftermarket converter.

here is a video of it running,

Either way, this has been a on going project for the past 10 yrs, but with college, a little money and a little time I have rebuilt the front suspension, rebuild the rear suspension and rearend. Built the motor and getting it legal to run at a NHRA quarter mile track.

So who else hot rods and what is it?

**sequoias** · 09-21-2008, 11:20 PM

I don't have a hot rod, though that '79 Camaro you have a mid 80's Camaro rims.

madison069 · 09-22-2008, 07:51 AM

Yea, I went with the 82-92 rims style since I had the set and it was cheap. Doing a build-up on a budget make up pick some common parts instead of custom or extreme aftermarket parts! LOL

Bowak · 09-22-2008, 06:15 PM

I love older models. they're cool. hope you get a chance to really finish the build unless "overhauling" comes by and swipes your car LOL

Babyblue · 09-22-2008, 07:37 PM

My husband is restoring a 66 mustange from the bottom to top. He ordered a whole bunch of kits and parts for the body, interior, motor, ect. He said the motor he is going to build will be 280. Which will make the car a GT. The body work is done. Cherry red. Now he is putting the parts together.

madison069 · 09-22-2008, 08:04 PM

I believe you meant to say the car is a 1966 Mustang GT. simply putting a motor is a car don't change the badge of the car.

Also that 280 is it a 289 instead?

I would love to see some pics of the car!

Babyblue · 09-22-2008, 08:15 PM

I will have to get some pics.
And you will have an idea. Lol I am learning this by watching my ol' man working on it.
I know it is a 28something. The pistons are huge.

By the time Hubby is done... I will know everything about cars :grin:

madison069 · 09-22-2008, 08:51 PM

Actually that 289 has the same size piston pistons as the 350 chevy motors, but one thing that motor can do is rev to the moon! It's a blast to drive a high revving motor that's putting out that much power! The combination of the big bore and short stroke of the 289, it produce high horsepower but low torque.

The piston width is 4" unless he went with a over sized piston. a 460 ford big block has 4.36" piston for comparison in size.

That's a cool choice, though. That '79 Camaro will be worth huge bucks once it's all restored. I haven't seen those in a long time on the road.

What size motor is that you dropped in that Camaro?

madison069 · 09-22-2008, 10:08 PM

350, but nothing stock inside or outside. It's pretty much a warmed over motor nothing extreme, but hopes the changes will help in performance.

Gonna have to take another picture.

I'll try to get on to check out your picture tomorrow! No promises as I am pretty busy these days with the new job. Plus when I am home i spend a lot of my time with my dog since she is kept in the crate while I am at work. She prefer the crate over having the run of the house, odd huh?

I understand about work and the dogs.

How is your Camaro going?

Hubby wants to get one and restore one of those. It is his dream car.

The Mustang. He did everything himself except for the paint job.

He had to take it to a friends shop to do that.

Overall. I will defiantly post pictures.

Camaro is at a stand still for right now, cause I am doing the responsible citizen thing and paying off my student loans. Plus putting money up to get a place with a nice garage, or some acres to build my own place. I might get to work on it some by next year.

Know the feeling.

Restoring cars is not cheap.

Hubby wants to do a Camaro. Since it is costly and we are as well, in a bind.

Once we sell the Mustang. Then perhaps.

$$ is an issue for us also.

The Deaf Guy · 02-24-2009, 12:18 PM

Well I have a 1980 el camino with a rebuilt 350 and rebuilt autotranny in it with chrome outlaw rims its a nice project that im working on....

The 350 came out of I believe a camaro with racing camshaft and the heads has been worked on so its a little faster than stock but ill be planning on boring out the cylinders maybe .30 or .40 over depending on which pistons I can get a good deal on

Im not a big fan of drag races I mean the faster you go the faster the race's over

madison069 · 02-24-2009, 08:42 PM

Any luck on the Pictures Babyblue?

The Deaf Guy, I like the adrenaline rush from a 8 sec quarter mile pass.

After I finish this car and get my truck rebuilt, I will be building a all out race car. shooting for 8-7sec in a quarter mile.

The Deaf Guy · 02-27-2009, 06:12 PM

7-8 second ride that's gunna cost you some serious money which way are you gunna go? Nitro.... super charger with a blower on it? Which motor are you looking at to do this project?

The only thing im really interested in when it comes to those drag races is the wheel standing competition now that's what I would love my car being able to do that nothing says raw horsepower more than being able to lift your front end up in the air with your foot mashed to the pedal heck yeah!

I haven't narrowed it down, but I will be running twin turbos.

leaning toward a 500's cubic in motor with twin turbo. Suspension will of course have to be aftermarket, and will be running a fiberglass body for the weight.

The Deaf Guy · 03-01-2009, 05:26 PM

Twin turbos do you build your own motor or has a pit crew that helps you out?

Hey blue that's a nice car too bad its a ford (go chevy!)
