Catalog Camaro 2nd Gen Front Suspension Upgrades - Stacey David's Gearz S11 E11
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- It’s business as usual in the garage this week. We’re back at work on the Catalog Camaro and really diggin’ into the front end. You know what they say, “out with the old and in with the new,” and that’s exactly what Stacey’s doing. The old sub frame, drivetrain, and suspension are hitting the garage floor in favor of a much-needed updated suspension system that’ll keep this awesome Camaro hugging the road at high speeds-From the wheels to the sub frame, Stacey’s replacing it all. And he’s not going to break the bank while doing it, either. Follow the GearZ crew as they hit the road and visit Cornwell Tools to see their latest and greatest tool box being manufactured. From powder coat to knuckle bustin’ bolts, we’ve got you covered on GearZ.

![How To Restore A 1971 Camaro Subframe To Better Than New [DIY]!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NiHYoCBdkpI/mqdefault.jpg)
ONE Giant Commercial!
It’s nice when you have an unlimited budget
My husband has been working on my 68 Chevelle for 2 years and he just finished the sheet metal. He can only do with what money we have. I know he will get my car finished
Theres always a limit.... the limit is less for people at home generally but that's why he is on TV.
@@199jl And he's not paying for it!
Problem with this show is there is 20 minutes of advertising and ten minutes of fabrication.
I was just going to come here to say that. I’m sure it’s lucrative and I get it. But I was looking forward to the content advertised.
I love the changing out of the front end sheet metal! Like to see the rear changed too. I can also see redoing the engine while the front end is off. But why go full on unlimited pocket book and change out the whole front A-Frame. Most of us do not have the money to do something like that or maybe it is just me. I can understand replacing all steering components (ball joints, tie rod ends, & etc), bushing, and such while the front is apart and put in some handling components but what you are doing is far outside a normal budget. Considering this is suppose to be a poor mans split grill..................I love all your work.
I also would've added a subframe connector to the Camaro to stiffen up the body a bit
Yeah, almost no one could do that these days. He'll, just getting the car would break the bank for most people.
I want somebody to upgrade cars with junkyard parts. CPP makes spindles to upgrade to corvette c5 brakes!
He's trying to make a 1970 - 72 from the 1974 -81 Camaro I've hope it's done one day
Be ready to wait a few yrs.
It's been a while , are we going to see any more on this car??
Thats the trouble with this show , you will get a new segment and it will be months before another new show comes on and it will be another new project
I know I made other comments but here is another but when this project started you also said because the real split grills are hard to find and cost far outside most peoples budget or at lease along those lines.
Putting in that real fancy front Sub-Frame and Engine is great and you can do that in the project BUT can't you also show us dust bunny pocket people how we could rebuild the old front end using those same catalogs and great after market parts while maintaining a much more friendly budget. Same with the engine. I image that engine you got would cost 15K or so, not budget friendly. You could get a Performer RPM package (435 HP top end) for a 350 from Edelbrock for 3.3K.
He wouldn't be able to show off the free stuff then along with all the insanely long advertising.
Since then: SP3C offers full frame goodness for the F-Body that bolts in using the original body mounts and leaf spring mounts.
Had to file our new powder coating. Giving rust a starting point. Why wasn’t the holes made big enough in the first place, so even with the powder coating the bushings would fit in place. He should have enlarged the holes before the powder coating or the subframe mfr should have made them bigger in the first place.
If you want to complain about something being expensive in this video, go check out the price on a Cornwell toolbox! Holy crap for the price of one of those you can build the car the with an unlimited budget! Guess I will never have one of those boxes!
Harbor freight has a decent box for us poor dudes!
What size front sway bar do you recommend
Hopefully you change out the taillights to the early style.
Me too
That's the plan that was said in a previous episode. But we probably won't see that happen.
Will this subframe fit a 75 firebird?
yes it is the same gen 2 design. just have different motor mounts for the Pontiac block
That's a cool but expensive subframe! In sure! Now to strengthen the rest of the car!
Where's the finished product ? Are these new episodes ? I haven't watched this show in a couple years .
They never finish anything
You can put all those aftermarket parts on the stock subframe. I do it for a living. It’s nice but if you want a bad ass frame. Get a art Morrison
This episode aired in July of 2017. Its been over a year and they still haven't got back to it, but there has been videos on other vehicles. I really want to like this show but this one as well as others have too much jumping around between projects. Obviously I don't know if these things are being funded privately so work only gets done and filmed when the owner forks out cash or what not, but now days a lot of these gear head style shows give you like a 5-10 minute montage of work, then the rest of the show is trying to pitch products or universities and then commercials.
They've always jumped around like that. Many projects have just disappeared without explanation, even years later. Sometimes there's a good reason, like it's in the paint shop, waiting on sponsors to buy or donate stuff, etc, but who knows when they never say anything about it?
Those are some nice Fender Flares on the 280 Z, Where did you find em?
It's a pandem kit, rocket bunny.
Don't be lazy. google.com
I welded my frame
Can they build c3 very frame
When is this car going to be finished?
How much did all this cost
wait wait wait... so youre telling me i can turn my 1978 Camaro into an 72' RS camaro by changing the front end !?!? did you also need to chamge out the two front fenders too ? pls let me know !!!
No the fenders bolt up. Keep in mind the rear facia taillights and back window are also different on the early cars. But from the front, it'll look like a 70 to 73.
Wondering what he did with that front nose he took off, for sale??
This was 3 years old when it was posted.
Sounds like the guy with the datsun killed his buddy for the v8 and life insurance and bought a lot of new parts. Case closed. Que C.S.I theme "yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhh"
👍👍👍♥️😍💯💯
All of that "modern" suspension has been around for decades. Mustang II rack, opposed piston brake calipers, etc.
:(
More...
Less
A gold bunch of advertising ! Great stuff but allot !
Even though at the sweet setup I think I would rather keep the original Z28 T-top Camaro look with a few brake upgrades as such for what it cost to upgrade this car to a split bumper Style yeah you could have bought I split bumper Camaro
@John Wymer I've got a '72 RS/SS, 350/350 with original Z-28 wheels I had powdercoated. 105k miles, but it's covered on other side of garage. Could be driven but needs a resto. No rust anywhere, CA car. Bought from original owner when he was 55. Any idea what it's worth?? Thx
@@wsfwsf149725 thousand
Sub frame ?
Should be half a Frame held with 4 bolts
Subframe is fucking $3,499.99
More than what I paid for my Camaro body!
I once was really into stacey's program it seems now like an infomercial
And some actually buy harbor freight tools not me I buy either Snapon or Cornwell
Dude I like the idea of changing the sheet metal out to another year model Camaro but with all the up grades your doing all your doing is building another rich man's Camaro. When the Camaro was known to be the poor man's sports car.. You really need to keep your build projects more down to earth.
I agree1
here is the youtube channel of the what are you working on at the end of this ruclips.net/channel/UCqGz2WUe5kyhZEJtWaqfZog
Good looking out! Too bad it's so little coverage.
I've always hated it when they put a 70-73 RS nose on the newer Camaros. If you like the 70-73 RS (like I do) buy one, don't fake it. It looks foolish with the newer tail lights and rear window.
That is one crappy sway bar! It's supposed to twist, how much of that twist is being lost to spinning on the bar?!
None. The bar has splined ends.
Half promotions
His hair looks like joe dirt
Is it cold in that shop ..why is he wearing a toque?
He actually thinks he's gonna drive that thing someday...yeah right
Out of a 22 minute video,only 8:35 shows actual work on the project car. The rest is all plugging products and tools the avg gearhead can't even afford. I know you need to pay the bills with a little advertising but,isn't that why the have commercials??? Cmon guys,get your shit together and get this thing finished already..........or at least arrange it so you stop jumping from project to project and start showing more work than product.
Cornwell sucks.
Do they really? How so? I wouldn't know because we don't have a Cornwell franchisee in my region. We haven't for 20+years. I know because I talked to a NAPA auto parts representative in my area and that's what they told me. I also have no idea where they are price wise compared to Snap-on, Mac, Matco, SK, or Carlyle. I'm curious to know how they are quality wise.
Fuck a bunch of junk chevys!!! MOPAR !!
