FRONT SHEET METAL

REAR DISK BRAKES

The rear disk brakes are off of a newer Camaro (1998-2002). The calipers, backing plates, and rotors were a simple bolt on. I had to do some fabrication to get the emergency brakes working. I also put the left brake on the right side and the right brake on the left side so that the emergency brake cable can pull from the front instead of the rear. This means that the calipers are to the rear of the axle instead of the front but it should still work the same.

Transmission Hump

LS1 Engine

Motor/Tranny are from a wrecked 2000 Trans Am

I bought this a/c bracket on ebay.

It seems to be a copy of the bracket made by Kwik Performance.
Everything else is stock F-body accessories.

The F-body oil pan fits good but doesn't allow me to use the Chassisworks sway bar.

I built crossmember from scratch

Hydraulic Master Cylinder Installation

I started by filling the hole underneath the brake master cylinder.
I also had to cut an area open for the clutch master cylinder.

This bracket was made for a first Gen Camaro I modified it by cutting it in half and rewelding.

There was a little flex in the bracket and it looked a bit sloppy so I filled between the firewall and the brcket with metal to make it look more like it was stamped into the firewall.

You can see that a piece of heavier gage sheet metal was welded

behind the firewall for added strength.

I also closed up the hole around the steering column some. I made a plate that bolts to the firewall and welded it to the steering column. The location of the reservoir is only temporary.

Master cylinder installed

Clutch petal was gusseted and hole drilled.
I had to drill another hole because first wasn't quite right.

From inside you can see the plate on the steering column.

Fuel Tank Modifications

I made a sheet metal box out of 18 gage steel. It was made out of a flat sheet, then folded and MIG welded together.

I cut a hole in the top of the tank for the Camaro fuel pump module to go into.

A rectangular hole was cut on the bottom for the box to fit into.

This shows how the module will sit inside the box

The box is welded into the tank. Tig would be better but I only have a MIG

Ground Clearance is still good

I have good access incase, I need to service the pump.
This picture also shows the flanges I bought from Vetteworks to mount the module to my tank.


I welded the stock pickup area closed



Before paint. Notice the offset shackles I made work fine with the stock tank.

Black paint and inside is coated with Red Kote to seal up any possible leaks.
