I have to say, I thought you were some good guys over there - until this thread (I'm just a little jealous)

Here's where my '67 is currently . . .

 

Very nice. Saw that car and it is beautiful

 

I'm coming over to steal that 12 bolt... Looks like it'll handle pretty well with the suspension mods.. I'd like to see pics of that steering rack installed.

 

THAT'S BADASS! What paint is that? I'm down to the subframe right now on my 65 Buick, getting ready to paint it soo...

Nice Camaro!

Thanks B.

Good luck, it's at the powder coater haha...

Pics of steering rack will be posted when she's in!

Erik

 

Thanks, believe it or not, it's actually Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Protective Enamel
I slathered on 3 coats with a cheapie foam/sponge brush giving at least a day between coats after I sand blasted it.

 

Looking good to start!

By the way, I used POR-15 on my frame and underside when I redid my my '70 Nova three years ago, SEMI-flat black with a brush:



Derek

 

wow! thats amazing..both look great.

Thanks guys!

This guy didn't want to go crazy with painting anf stuff. I did feel the need to remove and encapsulate the existing rust that was on the fram rails...so I hit it with a can and called it a day. Eventually I'd like to convince him to remove front clip and do it all over from the bare metal up...

Erik

 

I would NOT put that rack in there, aftermarket racks in stock subframes cause major bumpsteer issues, just add a HP steering box,

 

I <3 white headers... Build looks sweet!

 

While the stock subframe remains unaltered, nothing else will remain stock. Aftermarket control arms, coil overs, and steering components should compliment each other nicely in this particular build.

We thought of a box, but the customer wanted a rack specifically. We did our research and spoke with several different companies, engineers and 1st gen owners. We came up with what we think will be a nice package using top of the line parts.

 

The white headers look cool, but that's about it.

What a bitch when y ou touch them. You're wiping them down every two seconds.

Also, the guy who installed them did a poor job sealing the valve covers and oil got all over the collectors. White turned to brown streaks and baked on...looks terrible.

Erik

 

That car's gonna handle MUCH better. Good lookin' work man. Need somebody to inspect it when it's done?

 

LOL! What's up man. Hell yeah, come down here and confirm how bad *** this car is once it's done.

PS- New site for Guardian is being developed and then we'll head north my friend. Stay in touch.

Good Luck with that, your actually altering the sub buy putting in the rack unit,
You as a shop should be able to steer the the customer the right way,

I'm sorry I may be ignorant, but I have'nt heard of anybody have positive results adding the rack to the sub,

I'll research this and get back with you...

 

I don't remember anyone asking you to chime in, Mr Showoff All seriousness aside, that looks really nice. Hopefully soon I can get mine finished.

 

Steves rights... the racks dont really work properly in terms of suspenison geometry with the OEM subframe. The people selling it to you will tell you otherwise, but do what you want.

The high end aftermarket subframes will locate the body of the rack at the proper height and have the rod ends swinging in the correct arc.

 

Thanks Chris,

The ackerman angle is where the problem lies, this is to do with the tierod ends VS the rack,

 

Just got these parts back from powder coating

 

Good Luck with your project. I remember when my car looked like this and I thought I would neer finish. It was worth the effort.
