danielwetpaint · 03-25-2008, 02:38 AM

Theres also a guy here that doesn't have one hair on his head,,Lou, are you related to him?

shifty · 03-25-2008, 10:19 PM

No, but I am. Don't be dissin' the family name

Riveted1 · 03-25-2008, 11:08 PM

Now that's funny!

texanidiot25 · 03-26-2008, 12:41 AM

Shifty, thats you?

I'd imagined you, smaller.

68 short step-My great-grandmother's (still rockin' at 89) first name is Texas actually. Confused the hell out of me when I was real little, and got a telephone call asking to speak to Texas.

shifty · 03-26-2008, 01:04 AM

that's my head photoshopped onto a Mr Clean body.

danielwetpaint · 03-26-2008, 06:06 AM

I don't know,,I didn't say anything about it but "Shifty Clean" didn't sound right,,any way.

Super73 · 03-28-2008, 01:45 AM

Lou,

Glad to see you aboard here..

When I came in this thread I was thinking someone might be choping down the bulky center section on the front crossmember. Something I am thinking about doing for my 63 drag truck. I figure that center section has got to weigh 100lbs more than a 2x4 .120" piece with some 1/4" plate and bracing to mount the lower control arms. Any reason your keeping that front piece and not putting a different one in?

Next question I had for you was the severe angle on the shocks. 10* won't really skew the spring rat or shock dapening, but from what I understand, once you get past 10* it starts changing the rates very quickly. 30* is a pretty steep angle. Herb Adams goes in to it pretty well in his book Chasis engineering. I'll try to find it as I think he does testing at different angles and shows you the changes.

Another question would be in regards to the rear. Any reason you went with a 4-bar over a 3-link or a truck arm rear set up (60-72)? They tend not to bind as much as a 4-bar or 4-link. I hope you don't mind me sharing a few pics of my Camaro with you. This is my 3-link set up.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-28-2008, 03:02 AM

Nice fab work...

boonedogs72 · 03-28-2008, 06:40 AM

lets see some more pics of that camaro.

Super73 · 03-28-2008, 08:04 AM

Please keep coments and questions in the thread for the Camaro. I would not want to take things away from Lou's thread here. But here is a link regarding the Camaro build.

Luckin-Fou -
Anything up with the truck? Frame looks good so far, just curious if there are any updates....

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-07-2008, 08:53 AM

Guys sorry that I have not posted anything. I was in Vegas last weekend at Mopars at the strip. A bunch of mopars the show was great. Anyway when I got home look at what was waiting for me. That Camaro looks great I want to see more pictures of it. I really like the way you installed the 3-Link.

The Caprice in the back round is my 4 door hardtop. I plan on putting an LS Engine in it with a Pro Charger. I want to build a nice driver out of it.

That Camaro looks great I want to see more pictures of it. I really like the way you installed the 3-Link.

I need to make my own headers for the truck. They look pretty crazy.

I'm going to run 2.5 exhaust on the truck. I want to get it done before I put the body on. This way all I have to do is cut the floor up.

I'm going to run those Hushpower mufflers I heard that they were pretty good.

oldspowered67C10 · 04-07-2008, 09:08 AM

Nice work, this truck is shaping up to be pretty wild, keep the progress pics coming.

IvelDesigns · 04-07-2008, 09:16 AM

wow, guess this is what i get for not checkin' in on the suspension forums in a few months. great build for a square body. can't wait to see the fab work to get a body to sit on that frame.

Since my tivo isn't getting any Lou love anymore, guess i'll have to let my 67-72chevytrucks.com subscriptions get the love.

welcome to the boards man and awesome looking build

Bishops Trucks · 04-07-2008, 10:21 AM

That header looks scary. Nice looking work your doing Lou. I agree with the pics of the Camaro, we need to see more. There are a lot of Camaro owners on this site to, why not start a thread on the build of it.

grady5 · 04-07-2008, 03:18 PM

that header looks really cool, i may attempt something similar for my truck. by the way you got a few extra clamps i can borrow?ha

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-07-2008, 04:02 PM

Man those things are crazy looking....

texanidiot25 · 04-07-2008, 05:02 PM
