1968 Camaro SME F2 "Stockish"

[Quinn Lawrence]

It's been a 3 year deal for this street / strip camaro... We are however nearing completion. Goal is to run Drag Week with it once all the bugs are worked out. Until then its car shows and test n tune for us...

• Car first received an 8.50 Cert cage, smith frontend, welded frame connectors, & mini-tub from Jim Powski Racecraft. http://jim-powski.com/

• Next it was time for the body. We first sent the car to Wendell Blevins with Auto Creations in Bellevue Ohio. Wendell did an amazing job smoothing the firewall, replacing the rear quarters, floor pan, and trunk deck lid. All of Wendell's amazing work can be viewed from his Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/ceedell/videos (LOOK FOR 1968 Camaro)

Steve Morris Racing Engines Built the SBC for us. They did an amazing job with the build... Dyno Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay75SU4EZzk

Dave Klaput with Proformance Racing Engines built us a wicked street / strip Turbo 400 transmission that is paired with a PTC converter.

Once we set the Engine and Trans in the car we sent it to Pat Martin of Martin Motorsports http://www.pm-motorsports.com/ for a number of things including installation of the procharger, plumbing, wiring, trans cooler, chute, exhaust, DS loop, water pump, fuel pump, alternator, rear gears, disc brakes, trans break, gauges, front spoiler, etc;

Once the car came back from Pat Martin we took it to Greg Stelma and Jr with Bad Ass Replicas in Sandusky Ohio 330-635-5570. They did an excellent job finishing the body work and assembling the car for us:

Next up is LED light bulbs / wiring, front wheel spacers, carpet, door panels and a few other odds and ends. Should be ready for the street once the weather breaks! I will continue to post updates.

I did forget a video of it running when we left Martin Motorsports:

Installed the poverty caps and fixed the door hinge over the weekend. Also realized while installing the LED tail lamps that we needed new lamp sockets. Ordered those and hope to have the rest of the lighting hooked up this week.

[Quinn Lawrence]

Got the front LED bulbs installed. Now it is time to work on the rears.

[Quinn Lawrence]

Got the rear lights working today and ordered new door panels. Also dropped some trim off to be straightened out and the license plates restored. More to come:

Took it for a test drive the other week and installed carpet. Waiting for stock seats to get recovered so that we can install those. More updates to come!
