We are performing a retro-mod on a gorgeous 1969 Camaro SS equipped with an L89 motor, and 4 speed M22 rock crusher transmission. After much debate, my client decided to stick with the current drive train which and do some tasty upgrades to the suspension and the brakes. The result will be a sort of “best of the old, best of the new” set up that should definately turn some heads.

I’ll link to some photos later this week that we took before any of the mods were completed and then post our progress.

Here’s the current upgrades that we’ve selected for the car:

DSE Hydroformed Subframe and suspension

• Hydroformed Framerails
• Stamped Crossmembers
• Tubular Upper and Lower Control Arms
• Coilover Shocks for Subframe with “Detroit
Tuned” valving
• Coilover Spring
• Power Rack and Pinion Steering
• Splined Sway Bar
• C6 Steering Knuckles and Bearing Packs

DSE QuadraLink rear supension

Ford 9″ rear end with aluminum center section

Baer 6 Piston Aluminum Calipers and 14″ rotors

Mini Tub and Subframe connectors

Vintage AC with black front runner kit
