Looks like half the car is turning right and the other half is going straight!!

Joe they shipped it on that small pallet under the car and it looks as if the car shifted in route..

Oh, I thought those were a set of Swedish wooden ladder bars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Camaro funny car
 

It appears that the back 2 frame to body bolts are either not there, or have pulled through the floor. The front bolts appear to be there in some form. Maybe. You can most likley save it, but it's gonna be expensive, and very time consuming as I'm sure there are multiple issues that we can't see.
You may want to consider another project that is less material, or labor intensive. If not, good luck, and get friendly with your good mark dealer. If you need a full floor, the dii's fit well.

Re: Camaro funny car
 

Mark, you are right about me making a decision here. If I keep it I will make it look original, so I want good quality. And I also saw it as a good testvehicle (not so good anymore https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif) before starting on my COPO. Therefore I want to use the same sheetmetal on this car as on the COPO. I might have to change my mind on this though.

I might add that the frontend problem looks worse than it is. The subframe just wasn´t bolted to the unibody correctly. The problem is the floor and rear part of the body. Before they started working on it, I don´t think it was much worse than COPO-Pete´s white racer before it was restored.

Schonye, like you said, there are multiple issues to consider. If I could find a car here in Sweden that I could cut the back-half off, it would save me some time. But I don´t think there is such a donor-car around.
What is dii´s web address by the way ?

Hi Anders
Glad to se you got a new project. I got a good tips for you. What I heard is that Year one have the right thicknes of the steel. They tested it on there new mailboxCamaro. There is a guy here in sweden that inport parts regulary from them. around 50000$ a year. He lives in skellefteå. I contact you for more info. good luck with the car.
Merry cristmas

Re: Camaro funny car
 

I tend to agree with Schonye. I would find a better project (a muscle car) and ship it back or use for parts. A lot of time and money for a 307 2 barrel car. Have to ask yourself if when done, will this car satisfy the needs and pleasures I want it to. JMO Sam

Re: Camaro funny car
 

That certainly looks like a "funny car"...a Frost Green Camaro funny car!

Hopefully,it looks worse than it really is...
