Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

It's all separate pieces. I said earlier that they were Comp engineering bars, but the crossmember is competition engineering, bars are jegs 32" adjustable, coilover crossmember is Allstar performance, and the coilovers are off shore pieces, I call them "coilrovers"

 

I did this different than my usual bullshit, I set it all up on the stock rear. Brackets are just tacked to the axle tubes. Now I've just gotta cut the tacks and pull it out, put the other axle in and set pinion angle, weld the brackets. And I took a hole saw to the frame rails, both crossmembers are sticking in the frame 1". Hopefully it works lmao

 

I was gonna say. Welding on a rusty surface is a…

 

Lol top quality work Johnny Gee no I ground off a spot to tack weld to. I do quality hack work in my shop.

 

Man, you're rolling! Will you use a track locator like Swade did or a panhard bar like mine? Woe be to that stock rear if you rev it up and dump the clutch with slicks. Fragmentation will ensue!

 

I haven't made my mind up, but the stock rear end will be laying behind the shop for whoever wants it lol... unless it gets hauled off to the scrap place

 

Don't junk it till after the fest next year, I might want it.

 

Just looking out after you. Wouldn’t want @lumpy 63 to see your first burn out looking something like…

 

It'll be out behind the shop! You should make plans to hit the reunion with me. Change your gears, haul it here, and convoy to Bowling Green

 

Hey it could still happen!

 

Hold on! This isn’t fair! You guys are both much, much , faster than I am!!

 

Don’t say that!

 

Hey, if someone else gets it first, all good.

 

I also have a set of 57 front hubs, few other odds and ends if you want me to sit them back for you. There are 2 S10 rear ends out back, a G body 7.5 that's 58", and some other odds and ends, I don't throw away much lol

 

Don’t forget about the set of 882’s with the tiny valves.

 

Rear cleaned up, new brakes, might put it in the car tmrw.

 

Is that the 8.8?

 

8.5 10 bolt from a 72 Camaro

 

Who cares about the rearend ! I'll take the Malibu.

 

funny- i was thinking that was the sort of car you wouldn't put money into at a body shop!

 

Hey Lloyd, could you get the drum to drum measurement on both the 55 & Camaro rears?

 

Good deal, same BP that way.

 

Yeah who would have thought, but today they are desirable. Nice full frame car with a SBC or a BBC .

 

Steve, I believe the Camaro is 62.5 WMS to WMS. At least this is what the charts said when I was looking for Papaw. The 55, I’m not sure.

 

Borrowed this from the Camaro net site. .
The 68 Camaro was 60" just like the 55, which I can confirm as I have one sitting in the shop that won't be going in the 51.

 

Yep, I have a 69 Camaro rear going under my sons AD pickup and it is a great fit same as the original in those trucks.

 

Stock is 60" wms. 8.5 is 62". Gives me another inch of push out on each side.

 

My axle is a 72 F body.
