Carbon Fiber pieces from Anvil Auto

I have already purchased from Matt at Anvil Auto the gauge cluster, A Pillars and Fender Support Bars. I will be getting the HOOD, Rally Sport Nose Panel, Deck Lid, and Rear Filler panel from him next week. I have to say the quality is awesome.

1972 Camaro Header Panel Emblem

I love this Classic hood emblem that came on those 1972 Camaro's.

QA1 Shocks

Here is the front Shocks that I will be using. It is a coil-over conversion that uses the existing up spring pocket but still gives you the adjustment. They are a QA1 Part # GMP1350-3 and I also bought the spanner wrench. I would also get the bearing plate instead of the large flat washers that come with the shocks. The top picture is what they look like mounted into the lower global west control arms.

Coil-over performance for stock GM front-ends.

These QA1 Pro coil systems are engineered from the ground up, to offer unmatched performance for stock GM front-ends. Pro Coil Systems 1 utilize the Proma Star AL adjustable coil-over shocks and springs, designed specifically for replacing the factory shocks and springs. This combination offers ride height adjustment and 12-position valving adjustment for performance not found in other kits.

Global West Lower Control Arms

I ordered and received my lower set of Global West Control arms for my Camaro. These are really nice pieces and should be add some awesome handling. They are Global West Part # CTA-71H

My first Camaro

Here is my first Camaro.

It is a 1970 Rally Sport Camaro. I built this car back in 1996 prior to the whole Pro Touring fad started. This car had a fuel injected 406cid Small Block with serpentine belt. 17" inch wheels with BFG Drag Radial for the Track and Zrated tires for the road. It had a full Global West Suspension System that made this one handle on rails. It was a awesome car but I lost it because of divorcing my wife. It was one of the most horrible situations loosing the car in that way and just made me more bitter. This Camaro had the look, feel, and rumble that made people stand up an notice. I hope to someday get her back but who knows.
