You will most likely have to cut the spare tire well to put that Camaro cradle in.

Yeah I know about the spare tire well. Wish mine was a 9c3. And less beat up. Yours looks good.

If you decide to move on from these Caprice PPV builds I would be interested.

Everything is for sale for the right price! I have not had any time to work on this thing. Hopefully ready for spring at this rate.

I'm going to need more info on that ltd...

I have a friend looking for a set of front fender liners for an 85 LTD LX. Would you happen to have any for sale or know of someone? Thanks.

What area are you in? Klinger's in Pine Grove, PA has a couple cars that could donate some parts. They are standard LTD's, but should have what you need. Plus it's a really cool salvage yard.

Can we call this one "crapice v2.0!?!? I still crack up at that name!

rpm-inc 12-11-2019 07:01 PM

Been a while. Front is converted to all gen5 camaro stuff.

Sweet. What parts besides rotors and calipers are Camaro parts? What struts are those, and was any work necessary to make them fit? Are those spindles aluminum?

Everything on the front is gen v camaro with the exception of the inner tie rods that are gen IV. I got all my info from here.

And it finally runs a year after putting the forged lc9 in!

Good deal! I just picked up a 2012 9C1 over the weekend. Keep us updated.

Nice! Post a pic!

Bought a used complete active interchiller off a g8 facebook group. I want to get the turbos mounted this weekend and see what I need for cold side piping. Also see if I can find a spot for the air water intercooler. Oh, I also need to get some aluminum spacer/spring locators made for the front coilovers. If anyone has a metal lathe and wants to make some money, let me know!

It was a Maryland State Trooper car. I'm still undecided on what all I want to do with it, but maybe some small mods won't hurt right?

If you didn't know, camaro 3.27/3.45 diffs bolt right in. Chevy SS springs are a direct swap to lower a bit.
