  • The 1969 Camaro is finally out of hibernation and i barely had the car cover off before I ripped her apart for some awesome suspension upgrades from the team over at QA1! This thing is going to handle better than ever before! Much more to come!
    Get your QA1 suspension here!

      I said it like a million times and still not enough. The best car content out there by miles. Don’t know how does it and hides it at the same time. He works on the cobra films in the same garage working on the vets and Camaro same time plus the other vehicles he has outside, kills the weights at the gym taking care of wife and family at the same time. Mad respects. If I could do half the stuff he does…

    My dawg Chris said he ain’t a welder then he gets down welds the entire backend of the Camaro and his joints look better than factory. Then he lowered the car on the ground and he said it sits lower than the economy. Damn son what a mic drop that was. Wish my man Chris all the health and resources in the world so he can entertain us with his awesome content. Glad to see companies reaching out and see the mad talent and hard work.

    You breifly touched on it in the video, but the improper assembly of the ride tech alone would have warranted me to accept such an amazing deal as qa1 offered. Redoing all the suspension, knowing it’s done right, and not having that thought on the back of your mind that the rear suspension wasn’t installed properly what else isn’t? Not having that fear alone must be a huge comfort. The more adjustable suspension, weld in 4link, rear sway bar and support from qa1 are all just a bonus on top of knowing your cars safe. Glad this offer came your way.

    I cannot thank you enough again for including your mental breakdowns /frustation in the video.
    You reminded me of me whenever something goes wrong at work in the IT business. I tell people if I work on this another minute I’m gonna have to go to confession Due to the 42 bad words, I’m about to use..
    And they all start laughing. And then they start telling me all the rosaries I’m gonna have to say
    It’s good to break up with humor. And then we all laugh .
    But again, thank you for leaving your frustration While working on this new QA install in the video
    take care. God bless. Stay safe.

    The slot in the subframe under the @$&&%#% control arm bolt is for an open end wrench to hold the bolt head. Might need to sacrifice a wrench to the automotive gods though.
