That's me in the background. If I'd have known the camera was on me I would've smiled!

Thanks to Tog and Sharkman at www.eurodragster.com for the photos.

The 1967 Camaro runs a stock front end and floor pan (although the cross member is modified). At the rear there is a ladder bar suspended modified Ford 9" axle with Strange 4.56:1 gears inside. The rear shocks are Aldan and the front ones are Monroe and we use Wilwood disks on all corners with Wilwood Dynamite calipers.

Keeping the car off the ground are polished centerlines with Goodyear tires including
32x14.5x15 slicks. Inside there is a full roll cage and powder coated aluminum interior which was done by Hauser Race Cars over here ( who also made the prop shaft and modified a Volvo steering rack and column to fit). The firewall is set back 6" for better weight transfer and was constructed by the Williams formula one team out of aluminum honeycomb.

We run a single Jaz racing seat with a Simpson 3" five point harness. Other stuff includes a B&M pro ratchet shifter with a Shifnoid electric shifter, a SPA onboard fire extinguisher and four Auto Meter gauges including a big RPM memory tach. We also run a Dedenbear air operated throttle stop complete with controller.

Body wise the front end, bonnet, boot, doors and bumper are fiberglass and all the windows are flush fitted lexan. If it's of any interest the front end used to be on a Pro
Stock Camaro that ran over here in the seventies called Satans Toy. Now to the engine. It's a 516ci big block Chevy with Brodix 'big brodie' aluminum cylinder heads running on VP C12 race fuel . Inside we run a Lunati crank, JE pistons with Childs & Albert rods, a Crane roller cam (274 int, 284 ex) and also Crane lifters and rockers.
