My buddy's and I have this project far along enough that I thought it was worth making a post about it. I picked up a Firehawk roller locally a few months ago to take the place of my white SS that I nodded off in while driving home from work. I wanted another Camaro but I've had bad luck with them and I just don't think it is meant to be for me to own a Camaro right now.

Saw this roller on facebook it was being converted into a drag car but then the owner changed their mind about cutting it up and sold it as is. I picked up the roller and a box full of parts and I still had the wrecked SS to steal whatever parts I was missing. This roller was missing everything from fuel and brakes lines to rear lower control arms and everything behind the dash.

We are making good head way now and here are some pictures I have taken along the way. Originally the plan was to just swap in my drivetrain and get it running but that quickly escalated into upgrading some stuff and cleaning up parts and powder coating them.

So far we have installed a BTR cam and spring kit in my motor. I've purchased a old school fast 90 intake along with TSP 1 7/8th headers and a borla catback. The car has strano/koni kit on it and will have new rotors, pads and braided brake lines on it. I also purchased an Iroc spoiler and swapped out the T/A bumper for the Formula bumper just like my white Formula.

Anyways here are some random pics.

This is how the car showed up.



Tried out my buddys 505A's but I'm just a sucker for Classics.



Had the Classics off my SS powder coated satin/gloss gunmetal and had custom center caps etched with the Firehawk logo.





Taking inventory of what parts I had to work with.



Engine bay prepped for paint.



Fresh coat of paint



Sandblasting and powder coating










Yesterday we got the motor set in place.



I also recovered the engine harness in Techflex F6 braided wrap and fixed a bunch of wires that had been burned through.



That is it for now. I'm waiting on some more parts to arrive and will update this thread as progress is made. Thanks for looking.

 

Powder coated a few more brackets and cleaned up and painted the fast 90 with VHT wrinkle finish paint. Considering getting some silver paint and brushing the raised lettering on the intake.

 

Headers installed. Motor bolted in. Also ordered various MBA covers and caps that will be coated too.

 

MBA goodies.

 

Had a few days off and found some time to work on the firehawk and my formula. Firehawk is slowly getting closer to completion. All accessories have been mounted, harness ran, most a/c stuff installed and new brakes installed that just need to be bled. Hopefully a few more days at it and it will be complete.





Took a day off from working on the Hawk and took my Formula to G Force Motorsports for tuning. She is finally complete after a couple of years of trying to get the procharger stuff running right.

 

Almost complete. Things to do. Paint front bumper and rear spoiler. Fab y-pipe and tune. This is what the inside of the car looked like Monday morning. Got it all done that afternoon.





The after pic.





Sound clip of the car just making sure it was going to turn on.

 

I don't know if it's just me, but none of your pics are showing up.

 

 

I was wondering who beat me to that damn car. I can't see pictures of it either but I bet it's blue. You guys are a bunch of damn vultures.LOL That was one nice deal. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Good luck to you.

 

lol I know which one you're talking about I tried to get it but was out of town and someone else beat me to it as well.

 

Originally I couldn't see any pictures but now they are up and the car looks good

 

Not sure what was up with the pics but they seem to work now. Made it to the gas station and tested the brakes. Still need to paint bumper, spoiler and fab y pipe then a tune.

 

I can now see all the pics too. The car looks killer. I really like the new finish on the ccw's

 

Car looks great! What seats are those? I want to put some like those in my car.

 

Recaro seats out of a Evo that I had reupholstered.

 

Made it to the muffler shop. Y pipe fabbed and mated to the old Borla catback. Borla XR1 muffler was installed along with a qtp cutout.







Not 100% sure on the tips yet but I already have the corsa duals on my white car so I wanted to try big singles.

 

Nice Carlos, looks good

 

Any details on that sweet ***, double oven?

Oh yea, car looks great haha.

 

Very clean build man!

 

Picked it up last night. Off to paint.
