Re: 67 Camaro Build
Im not a big fan of Camaros but when you posted Grumps Camaro that brought back some fun memories. I think a 67/68 Camaro set up with the same stance and tire wheel combo would be really cool to bomb around in.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Bummer, that looked like it could have been a good'n! I’ll ask around and keep my eyes open for yah Chris, thanks.
Here's a little more jig/cart progress and then a planets are aligning kind of moment! Our new beauty tank has been on fumes and the second it was out our 10lb wire spool ran out also. ![]()

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Some poly bushings, tub o’ grease and oil filter adaptor bolts showed up from Summit. Slid the subframe back under the car again with the new bushings prior to repairing the bad LR body mount hole. Toying with the idea of making our jig able to accept the subframe for front clip fitment later (?).

Placed an order a few days ago for some 13ga sheet after we were unable to source it locally. Speedy Metals was certainly spendy, Ha, I mean speedy

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Tank swapped and more wire in the machine, our little Lincoln is a happy camper. Here’s the first layer of subframe repair.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Thanks Chris I agree, much better than buying new.
Thanks Clyde, it's coming along pretty good. Flipped over for another pass, added some nice ugly weld on the end like the factory welds. Ha, thinking that'll do! ![]()

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Thanks Ryan!
Hole’s been punched and subframe test fitted into the car, giving this particular repair a done stamp.

![]() Thanks Chris, since we're only fixing one mount Mr. Picky Pants (me?) wanted to hide the repair. ![]() Back to the jig, mentioned this earlier making both the front and middle supports height adjustable in case we want to add the subframe with its mounts at some point and still level out the body shell. All thread pieces are slotted and cut as long as the tubes so they can be recessed flush but not fall in.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
That's a very nice body dolly! Can you make one for my Camaro and my 40 Ford so I don't have to?

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Yepper, I’m thinking it’s gonna be nice! Hey Ryan, that is a good idea, but no..
![]() Here’s how we’re anchoring the rear, using the old 2-piece frame bushings with the shoulders cut off for a closer flush mount. Then to the risers using the original shackles, it’s pretty dang snug and a bear to install but will hold the car very solid. Getting ready for a gusset party next! ![]()

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Sucks when that happens! Can you tack a bar across the top to hold your spacing while you reweld the gussets?

So, after cutting the four tops off, cleaning off all the not so old weld and trueing everything up again. With the weight of the car tacked them in place with lots of tacks then pulled and final welded them onto the uprights again. Once satisfied with the support to body fit again went ahead and welded up the rest of it. Yippy skippy, shell went right on without any drama this time! ![]()
